/shrug Last time Disney took risks with an established franchise, everybody got their panties into a twist over the Last Jedi, lol. If the vast majority of the nerd-audience prefers predictable mediocracy over inspiration, why try?

Well, presumably the other Lokis are all the previously zapped Lokis, given they said the TVA zapped more Loki-Variants than any other variants. I kinda read it as "pruning" doesn't actually kill them, but throws them onto some scrap heap, post-apoc storage timeline with a bunch of ruins...

Mobius literally confronts Loki for falling for himself. Sure, this’ll never go anywhere. But similarly with Loki’s “can’t quite express my feelings stutter” before getting the stick, it seemed to me that this was somewhat implied. Not to mention the train conversation they had about lovers and...

Sure. Same thing though. You'd need the Episode-3 set-up to make it work.

I don't think the plot as it unfolds now works without Episode 3.

Yeah. Great episode. Really enjoyed that one.

Neither does, say, climate change. Still get entire countries and cultures singing the denial song, lol. Probably got retards in every civilisation.

Maybe. But if they had said back in the day that Thor was unequivocally a straight, white, American male, they'd have done so for the same reasons. Because that'd be the most profitable pandering to the audience of that year. I don't see the difference.

Well, ancient myths like Norse (male) gods turning into female horses to get impregnated have been around for thousands of years (in plenty of cultures) in no small part because actual Norse fantasised about shit like that in the first place too. All those little triggered little pansies in...

I am saying original Star Wars (rightly?) got a lot of flack for being all-white, and they started diversity-casting with no long-term harm done, even creating a beloved addition to the universe. Bill Dee seems a fine choice to children of the time and through the lens of nostalgia, even if...

Pretty sure the red-neck retards had the same reaction to a ... the horror! .. a black man in star wars as they do now over a black King Arthur or Captain America or whatever.

Well, the script was pitched to Connery to play the Highlander and he said nah, but i'd do the Ramire-shhh guy. Either way, the movie was already made .. what ... 6-7 years after they diversity-cast Billy Dee Williams to black-up Empire Strikes Back in response to all those late 70s...

Well, "finding that friend because I feel guilty and humans are irrational" as a plot was/would've been a million times more plausible than "create a fake-heist (twice?) to capture a zombie they could've snatched at the entrance with minimal effort within 5 minutes of the movie, lol".

I know, right. What bottom crap are they gonna drag up next? Guardians of the Galaxy or some such nonsense? Lol.

Mainly that the Rebellion doesn't have money? And the Empire probably would find out too?

Dunno. Plot holes were glaringly distracting without any analysis and did diminish the enjoyment from the movie. Like GoT Season 8 people suddenly teleporting all over the world. Tenet did a reasonably good job of distracting you / hiding the flaws on casual first viewing. Yeah, it comes apart...

Yeah. Seems like the main pitch for the movie was the opening "Las Vegas Zombies / Viva Las Vegas" sequence with a bunch of Elvis and Stripper Zombies, which also included 98% of the more unusual/gory/inventive zombie-kills. The rest was pretty forgettable and not even terribly...

Maybe already getting a bit old for a multi-movie Bond contract? TH is 40 now? Probably mid-40ish by the time a new, potentially his first Bond would start filming. Daniel Craig was 37-ish when he did Casino Royale?

I quite liked Zima Blue for what it was. It had a nice arc and actually hit the "Love, Death & Robots"-theme pretty well. Ice wasn't nearly as good IMO.

Yeah. With different spellings though. Not sure what the point was.

Um. just no. Cleopetra's lineage was fairly specific and there is an argument that she was lighter-skinned (then 99.999999% of all people she ruled over). But the med wasn't majority white, certainly nobody native to the area around Jerusalem/Bethlehem at the time and probably not even the...

Dunno. Pop squad was one of those I was expecting "more" from, not least because it is a reasonably interesting (though probably not super-original) set-up.

Lol. Not even close.

Yeah. Definitely a weaker season. Technically awesome, of course. And some episodes started really strong, lots of potential, but none truly landed as the best episodes of season 1 did. Still, don't regret watching them.

Yeah. Shit's outrageous. Imagine some idiots picturing a middle eastern guy like Jesus with blond hair and shit.

Sure. But if you do an accident with a normal car, it would just crash and flip normally, roll down a hill normally, etc.. it follows the normal laws of gravity in the time line. Similarly, an inverted guy could pick up a non-inverted gun and shoot it, but from the perspective of the inverted...

The car clearly "un-crashes" from wrecked to driving for the people watching in the normal timeline. So the car must be inverted. Only an inverted driver could not reverse the sequence of driving -> crash -> wrecked car to wrecked car -> crash -> driving for the car itself. The Saab also...

Well, quite a lot of people spend way to much nerd-power trying to explain the "inverted Saab" in particular, lol. But sure. That's a bare minimum leap of faith you have to do for this movie even on the first watch. I.e. one "artefact" the Tenet-team must've found at some point in the past...

Sure they do. Otherwise there'd be no way the car on the highway would be able to do a reverse-crash. Lol. That's one of the main trailer-action-scenes selling points of the movie.

I liked Tom Hardy and the Venom-interaction in the first, though the final CGI battle was a bit shit. If they keep the former and improve the latter, I am on board.

Like quickly throwing together a time machine after doing the dishes? Not gonna be easy to top that level of mary sue for the ol' Reed, lol.

Presumably Captain America 4 as the movie announced after TFATWS? Not sure if that's realistic?

How so. Wouldn't everything where the reverse-Nuke would/will explode be reverse-radiated thousands of years into the past before the reverse-nuke exploded? We'd "know" where at some point a reverse-nuke would go off, as the land would be un-inhabitable since the dawn of human civilisation. As...

Gay identity in the modern sense, sure. It's a more modern innovation. But so is the idea of man-women relationships being somehow the "default", the "norm" or "nature" prescribed by god and/or a natural order. As is the concept of mostly christian-inspired monogamy, which for example in the...

Which is fine. Never said Captain Marvel was a stellar movie. But there was a pathetic tribal aspect to some people's attempts to go out of their way to "spread the message" of how Brie Larson and Captain Marvel was the end of civilisation or whatever, that just didn't exist with ... dunno ...

I never said people hated those characters/movies because they were women. I said people hated those characters/movies because it became the thing that right-wing sheep do when some Breitbart click-bait or whatever-chan troll-post stirred up another random huff-puff-outrage based on a random...

Well, he did mine a lot of comedy out of it back in the day ;) To be fair, I imagine all those lizard-riding and alien-stadion mass-lightsaber battle scenes etc.. must've been pretty wild if you're just standing in a green room trying to act them out.

Not sure why that would happen? Venom isn't in the blood of a venomous animal. You can kill a Rattlesnake or whatever and eat it, no problem.

Turd or not, content-wise, Falcon and Winter Soldier was the first Disney+ show to utterly crush Netflix. WandaVision couldn't. The Mandalorian couldn't. Whatever else Disney has going couldn't. TFATWS could. It definitely gave the mouse a super hard-on and will get renewed for about 87 more...
