    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Uhh, neither Patty Jenkins nor Taika Waititi's movies have casting, scripts, or are really in production, right? No movies until 2025 isn't necessarily a policy change, that sounds more like simple math on how far along they are now. (I guess 2024 is still vaguely plausible, depending on how far...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    All the combat forms get pretty ridiculous until the end game (on low difficulties, an int build can contagion entire buildings to death without seeing a second enemy, and crippling + circle strafing to insta takedown cyberpsychos is preposterous), but at the end of the day, you pretty much have...

    Do we know the specifics of Watson's accusations? Is it just propositioning for handjobs full body massages with no forced contact?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I believe you also have to have chosen certain dialogue options during one specific quest (when you find where Johnny's body was buried). There's no real advantage from picking the other options, you just knock yourself out of seeing a set of endings yourself (not on Youtube) unless you replay...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Even worse, that invalidates the whole threat of the FBI in this movie! He wants to stay out of jail so he can see his kid grow up, then _immediately_ loses five years out of her life!

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Ant-Man & The Wasp is definitely not the worst Marvel film, but its definitely the most forgettable. (It's also the most outright comedic MCU film, which may be related.) Part of it is the villains: Ghost has clearly gone past 'the line' mentally, but doesn't actually do anything to make her...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    While Deadpool is the only unscheduled production that is far enough along that 18 months from now for February 2024 seems reasonable, with the movies on that slate, how would mutants get introduced prior to Deadpool? (Unless that is all The Marvels is really about?!) Personally, I would think...

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    Just think all this has to cover: Immediate post-snap (Bassett's 'everyone in my family is dead!' speech is probably here): who becomes king, probably invasions by pesky white people, maybe some snarky commentary on how many Wakandans died in Infinity War because Wanda wouldn't just kill...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Oh yeah, this entire Phase 4 / Phase 5 division just sounds like marketing nonsense. "We know you've been disappointed in Battle for Azeroth Phase 4, and yeah, we still have some of that material coming out, but ignore that, we've got Shadowlands Phase 5 coming out soon! We know people really...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Secret Wars was before my time, but that has to be a continuation of Kang Dynasty, right? I suppose the Avengers (whoever the hell is in the Avengers, that is) could fuck up the timeline enough that the Beyonder portals them in, but that doesn't seem like enough setup.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Obviously I just played through it for the first time, and assuming you are playing it on modern hardware, its fine. (It's certainly more of a full product than The Outer Worlds was.) Yeah, its an 'Open World' where the main quest will tourist you through the city in specific order, and any...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    PIcked this up once 3000 series became available, but I appear to be stuck: Now that I have seen all three main endings, the game isn't resetting to Nocturne once I hit the credits. I don't have the Point of No Return save (because why would you keep that after you start getting Ending...

    The Boys

    Frankly, even SB's reaction to the gay couple read more like 'This us what they're doing now!?' than 'Time to murder'. There is no textual evidence for the racism, its standard democratic dogma that all nonwhites are flawless and any white that is over 25 or so should be cancelled if not murdered.

    Bullet Train (2022)

    All kidding aside, off the top of my head, the remainder of 2022 has Bullet Train, I guess Shazam 2, and then, solely for trainwreck value, Black Adam, Black Panther 2: Electric Boogaloo, and Avatar 2? We're still not back to a normal movie roster.

    Noir's healing factor didn't fix his head, it seems unlikely to fix these wounds. But comic rules apply, without a corpse, they're fine, and even with they can come back.

    Meh, until we know there's a final season there won't be any massive bloodbaths. But I am already cringing at the idea of an entire season of Trumplander doing election bits from 2020. Woof. Also note that killing Soldier Boy is fine because he's a 'racist', despite little evidence of actual...

    Clerks III

    Early 20s me borderline loved Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, more because it was taking shots at other movies - the Good Will Hunting 2 scene is probably the best thing Smith has done in his career, and that is utterly not witty or dry. I literally forgot Jay and Silent Bob Reboot existed...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    As much as a 4th / 5th might hurt Baker's pride, the assumption was that everyone would just wait until he was cut. Here, the Browns still get something out of the deal tradewise and get someone to pay part of the salary.

    Why would you bother to work out when you only act in your brother's movies (well, plus a GotG coworker here)? Like, do whatever the fuck you want, you're good :)

    The Terminal List

    It was fine-ish. Like a lot of recent properties, it is tough to shake that this wouldn't have been far better as a movie. Say what you will about Without Remorse (and I literally hadn't thought of that movie until I started watching this show), but at least that got in and out in one sitting...

    Spronk, your 'Work Rules' bit is completely misleading. Starlight risked her life to get Kimiko permanent Compound V, but will break up with Hughie for using the temporary version. But let's be honest, the show is Butcher and Homelander (and maaaaybe Hughie). Everyone else has no long term...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    We could just have the order wrong. (Keep in mind, if this universe has a Captain Carter and at least one mutant in Professor X, the divergence was looong ago.) 838 Wanda has kids (we don't see any evidence the 838 kids aren't normal / weren't produced normally) 616 Wanda seems them in her...

    They intentionally made them jerks to soften the blow of Scarlet Witch murdering them. And Cap 1 doesn't get enough love - notice I didn't include Cap 1 in the list of movies DS&MM is better than

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I would say this movie is disappointing (given the involvement of Raimi, Elfman, etc.) but not bad - between the brief actual multiverse bit and Wanda's takedown of the Illuminati, there is more memorable here than a ton of other marvel movies (everything not Spider-Man in phase four, Thor 1/2...

    Frankly, do we even know if current Black Noir is 80's Black Noir? Neither his burnt face in Season 2 nor his arm in this episode look particularly black. I honestly expect some sort of twist on the tracker front - either Noir removed it to _join_ Soldier Boy, or to hide from him to prevent...

    Starlight doesn't say enough to force Homelander to go into take-over-the-world mode. Instead we'll just get more Fake News Homelander as Trump material. I would guess the finale is Soldier Boy goes after Mallory for Nicaragua info and threatens Ryan, and Butcher has to choose between saving...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    The WandaVision TV show retcons that Wanda had magic powers all along - they were why she and Pietro survived experimentation with the mind stone, not the other way around. It also states that Scarlet Witch is a title (for any magic user powerful enough to create a new reality on the fly), not...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be clear, they _could_ release the next expansion this year, but given how all previous releases have had six months of beta, it will be an impressive for even Blizzard level of clusterfuck. I expect they will have a 'last minute' delay but still get it out the door before March 31st, but...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There are too many reasons why Phase 4 was a dud to list off the top of my head: No clear planning for Phase 4 pre-Endgame, other than 'We'll make some TV shows!' Covid delays and disruptions. Mediocre scripts and directors in Phase 4. Steep drop-off in actor charisma from previous phases...

    But it's being said by a racist, therefore there can't be any validity to it. (Since the show-runners can't argue with facts, they have to tarnish the messenger.)

    Err, is there any indication Homelander knows it is Soldier Boy? Homelander getting hit with a nerf blast is what nearly all shows have to do once the power levels get out of control, but him being relatively powerless was already covered by Stormfront, and pretending to still have his full...

    Real talk, is Mission: Impossible the only current franchise left that there's any guarantee of quality for? (We'll give them a mulligan for M:I 2 given that it was two decades ago.) I would say I haven't been disappointed by any John Wicks so far either, but those two are a short list....

    His new Browns contract pays him virtually nothing this year, by the way, nor has Baker been traded. That said, if Watson avoids serious penalties, the Browns can safely deal Baker elsewhere.
