  1. I had a feeling this would happen, because working together is better than losing investors over theater disruptions due to the pandemic.
  2. Chi is basically life force, similar to the force in Star Wars. I've seen monks manipulate their forces (yin/yang, positive/negative, male/female) to create electric charges, increase the density of their punches or weight & do mystical things like passing one solid object through another. It's called Prana in Sanskrit, which is what Nikola Tesla called electricity & he understood it well enough to patent so many futuristic inventions that have yet to reach the market due to corporate greed. We could have had electric cars 100 years ago. These look more like Chakras from Sanskrit texts than rings. The rings should emit different density laser beams in accordance to the strength of energy passing through the gems embedded in them.
  3. Buddha was a sheltered prince that left His kingdom after seeing how the outside world was treated & decided to look for spiritual enlightenment to share with & save others. Every story has an origin, so nothing is truly unique. I guess nothing is worth watching.
  4. That's a bit of a generic comparison. There are sequences of him being trained through his youth & it's not uncommon to want some independence from the heavy burden of family obligations as you get older. If you were brought up in a family of crime lords or heroes, anyone would likely want that breathing room when the appropriate moment presents itself. Lacking CGI isn't a deal breaker in my opinion either, otherwise most movies & shows wouldn't be worth any consideration. Seems like some people are too desensitized to go without it though.
  5. How so? Can you point out other characters using martial arts within the MCU aside from Iron Fist? I'm sure it will do well in China since they seem to have no infections & have kept their theaters open without many issues, but I'm not sure about other countries.
  6. You should add one saying THERE - MICROAGGRESSION! Then we could point our fingers all day long for everything that anyone does. Even with the best intentions, we can't please everyone unfortunately. I felt Marvel was leaving a subtle hint about vaccinations with that Isaiah Bradley tetanus shot comment. Any less subtle, I bet there would be calls to boycott the show & throw it's writers under the bus, like they did with Letitia Wright on account of her comments.
  7. Seems like the new Captain America (John Walker) will be leading the Nomad series with how this last episode ended. I'm thinking General Ross is a possibility, but since they said it would make us cry, maybe Falcon & Bucky with Steve Rogers on his death bed or a Black Panther cameo.
  8. Just as you pointed out that, he was defending his home country with the WHO post. It's entirely possible that he was just defending his profession & anyone's reasoning to play the character with the Wolverine post. I don't see it going further than that. Just because Daisy Ridley has an interest in playing Spider Woman, doesn't mean she has the part either, but she clearly made her intentions known at least. This isn't an attack on you & we are entitled to our own opinions. You can come bring up as many points as you want, it won't change my opinion unless there is news announced from Marvel to support your view.
  9. I already know he's from New Zealand, but you seem to think that he can't make a post related to a character, without having a stake in the character. Again, I think his point was about the financial relativity of anyone playing Wolverine. I'm just saying he's human & maybe it was related to any actor considering the part. You don't think that's a possibility?
  10. I'm all for that, but sometimes they push these agendas to the extent that it turns people off. I guess that's something to say about their balancing act.
  11. I felt the power of his statement was that actors care more about their paycheck than what fans think. We just have different opinions on what his post meant. I took it literally, while you're seeing it figuratively. Maybe both are true & maybe neither are, but he's posting a lot of tweets. I don't think that each one is related to a project. It would be pretty easy to overlook anything he says that way. Maybe it's a fun way for him to tease fans. I don't think his response to New Zealand not signing a petition about the legitimacy of the WHO investigation is about a pandemic show he has in the works. Do you? He's a person, not just an actor & I don't interpret every line the way you do.
  12. Laws are always being changed to accommodate the times, so I could see it happening if theater chains have no better option.
  13. I haven't seen the show, but what does his fascination with serial killers have to do with The Boys? Do you think every actor that responds to a Wolverine post is a candidate? He's posting all kinds of things on twitter. Maybe if he said that he would like to play the character, I would see it being more than drivel. BTW, I wasn't trying to insult anyone.
  14. People tend to lean towards popular demand, to maintain demand. Sometimes these agendas work in their favor & others times it works against them.
  15. I was referring to the quote in the film, which was Prima Nocta. Yes, women have been treated as property at different intervals throughout history, which isn't much different than a slave, but with greater luxury afforded to them.
  16. TV has been gaining popularity for a while now. Unless they bring back drive through theaters, I'll probably stick to streaming.
  17. It seems that the new agenda is to make women appear more masculine & men more feminine. I think women are already strong, but there is more to strength than physical muscles. Tony Stark has shown that with his brain power & I feel they portrayed that well with Doctor Strange, Shuri & in WandaVision as well. I really hope we don't see a buff Jane Foster in Thor 4, as that would cheaper her being worthy to wield Mjolnir in my opinion.
  18. It's actually Prima Nocta & while it was a dumb move adding that line, it is part of history. They're making people aware of these things at any rate. There being truth to it wouldn't surprise me, as people hurting on others for their own amusement is nothing new. Just because it wasn't written into law, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Royalty has a history of being spoiled & getting what they want at the cost of others, including changing history books in their favor. What would the MCU history books look like if Ultron or Thanos beat the Avengers?
  19. Looks good. I would honestly be happier with MCU bringing out streaming series instead of the films. I think more actors would get behind the idea due to the changing landscape of the market.
  20. Seriously, this is what passes for news? I wonder if there's any headlines on the tweet about his interest in serial killers.
