    That is my point, anything in comics/drawn or animated can be made to look right. Not so (so far) on the big screen.
  2. media_junkie
    Yeah but then again the Incredibles is animated so it looks way smoother and also our brains could be more forgiving. Like we know animated characters can do all kinds of stuff and we just accept it because it isn't real. Put a real person stretching and while it may look good (which honestly up to now it hasn't) we may still reject it some what because we know humans don't do that and our brains just tell us it is wrong. For example, the Human Torch on screen works because even though he is on fire his body still looks human, no 20 foot long goofy arms. The Thing we can process because we see him as a "monster" and thus our brains are like, "ok he can look like anything". The Hulk, shape and movement of a human (big human but still human). I bet you if they dropped stretchy powers on a "monster" like the Super-Skrull we would accept it better because we wouldn't have to "disbelieve" so much.

    That is my biggest concern, I just don't know how you do stretchy powers without looking goofy.

    Well from what I saw, they didn't really do well by Dr. Who. They had him called out for "misgendering" pronouns on an alien. Disney sucks.

    5 to 10 years ago if you had told me that a biopic about Napoleon was going to bring in more money on opening weekend than the latest Disney animated "Thanksgiving" movie I would have laughed, but here we are.

    Wow!

    Let's see, she brainwashed and held hostage an entire town for months and then basically, no exactly walked free with Monica Rambeau's blessing and went on to kill a bunch of other people. I'd say there was no punishment at all.

    I enjoyed the movie well enough (way better than the one back in the day with the Wayans brother in it), however did it make enough for Paramount to seriously consider a sequel?
  9. media_junkie
    Going to be very interesting to see how pre-sales go and ultimately how well this movie does.
  10. media_junkie
    Yeah, I really enjoyed the film. I also read the book about how it was screwed up from the get go. Interesting book, tragedy what happened to the movie.
  11. media_junkie
    I get what you are saying, but this movie is an absolute flop. $300 million to make plus another $100 million to advertise. Disney/Marvel needed this film to do $800 million at the B.O. to break even. At best this movie is going to do $250 to $300 million. This is going to cost the studio hundreds of millions of dollars.
  12. media_junkie
    Ok, I'll give her props for that. That is an amazingly well adjusted attitude to have.
  13. media_junkie
    You gotta be kidding me.
  14. media_junkie
    I honestly thought the drop off would be greater.
  15. media_junkie
    That makes sense, but unfortunately I think Marvel mishandled him from the get go. 1st time we see him he is killed by a variant Loki on a TV show. Next time we see him he is defeated by ants. Not exactly presenting a multiverse threat there.
  16. media_junkie
    That is a very good point. In Phase 1 - 3 you had Thanos out there on the fringes sending people out for the infinity stones and then finally taking the matters into his own hands and we knew why, he wanted to end 1/2 the life in the universe. What is Kang (or his million multiverse selves) looking to do?
  17. media_junkie
    And where did I say it was you? I didn't call out any names, but if the shoe fits. And it is kind of hard to "ignore" what I don't like when the entire thread gets nuked for being off topic.
  18. media_junkie
    Good for him! I'm not going to lie, anytime I hear someone other than him as Optimus Prime I feel dirty.
  19. media_junkie
    Yeah, we just had one thread locked because it got way off topic from the actual movie. So what exactly does Motley Crue and bands that retire and come back have to do with an Avengers movie? Can't say I'm keen on another thread getting locked for it going completly off the rails.
  20. media_junkie
    Yeah, whole lot of non-topic stuff being posted in movie threads very (very) recently.
  21. media_junkie
    This movie could cause Marvel/Disney to lose a boatload of money, like $250+ million.
  22. media_junkie
    That is where I stopped watching Thor: Love and Blunder. Just said "Nope" and turned it off.
  23. media_junkie
    Great win there, SAG.
  24. media_junkie
    I don't think it is toilet paper the MCU is throwing at the wall.

    If you know, you know.
