And quips. Gotta have quips. An occasional skybeam. More quips.

Title: The Last Duel Genre: Drama, History Director: Ridley Scott Cast: Jodie Comer, Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Ben Affleck, Harriet Walter, Nathaniel Parker, Michael McElhatton, Alex Lawther, Zoé Bruneau, Ian Pirie, Sam Hazeldine, Brian F. Mulvey, Caoimhe O'Malley, Zeljko Ivanek...

Sure. Nice ending. But one that would've implied that there is no big multivers-ing of the MCU, but instead Sylvie took over and, for the rest of the MCU, the status quo from before the Loki show aired was repaired. Maybe some changes to the timeline, but in essence still a single time line...

Because they would prune any competing TVA (if the TVA is even "inside" any given timeline ... I thought it kinda sat outside like the Citadel). Of course, assuming there'd be multitudes of variant multiverses full of TVAs full of variants that think they pruned all the multverse down to a...

Maybe. But if there're 2 or more branches / TVAs, they (and the Kang behind it) would know about it (and one would've pruned the other one). 2 TVAs on two (or more) branches contradicts the existence of the TVA in the first place. The TVA is created by the victorious Kang after eliminating all...

Not really. If there's a TVA, it'd be working to preserve one sacred timeline. Nu-Moebius and co. are clearly stressed out about the fact that things just started to branch, so it seems only logical that the day before they were happily working away on preserving one single sacred timeline as...

Because there are so many Loki-visuals and "variants" (not in the Disney+ sense) in the comics, and this was an opportunity as good as any to show them off. Also, they showed at least the Frog-variant of Thor, so the possibility isn't restricted to Loki necessarily (even if they didn't make...

Well, the way this seems to go in the Disney+ logic is that his death and the return/rerun of the multiverse(-war) would bring back many of his less friendly variants. Kang the Antman-movie-villain will be a particularly villainous variant to this "He who remains" as Sylvie or Richard E. Grant...

Sure. But in Black Widow, it's wisely an after-credits tease, not 95% of the final-act showdown.

The great exposition dump at the end of time.

Nah. I "liked" Bautista (as an actor) because he was doing both Drax and roles with a (slightly) different pitch as in Blade Runner, James Bond, whatever. And because he is himself NOT Drax. If the Rock isn't literally playing himself, Fighting with my Family-style, he's breaking immersion and...

Dunno. I kinda liked Bautista before he shit the bed with that Zombie movie. He's no Daniel Day Lewis, but at least he tries to play different characters, etc.. in ways the Rock or so just fucking don't.

Title: Val Tagline: The life you live is the story you tell. Genre: Documentary Director: Leo Scott, Ting Poo Cast: Val Kilmer, Jack Kilmer, Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn Release: 2021-07-23 Runtime: 109 Plot: For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or...

Vengeance for Nick Fury not being played by the Hoff?

Which honestly wouldn’t be nearly as much of a problem for the people jumping forward as they made it out to be. If only some 50.000 out of perhaps 8 billion, end of 2022, are alive, chances to actually send somebody meeting him or herself are slim. That entire you-die-in-7-years plot point...

/shrug Honestly not sure why it needed to be a time travel movie to begin with? Just do Aliens show up and start killing people. Do some first act action scenes. Time-jump 6 months. Things are so desperate that we start recruiting civilians. Do some second act action scenes. Time-jump 6...

/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.
