It was bad enough when you had to have sat through WandaVision to understand the plot of Dr. Strange 2, but this one will have required you to have watched THREE different D+ shows beforehand.

Larson's "Envy Adams" character in Scott Pilgrim is kind of the perfect example of what her career would eventually devolve into, the gorgeous girl who has the fame and "adoring public" who loses sight of relatable human connections and is left alone in her ivory tower.AndyDursin wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 10:59 am Larson is a boring actress. She popped up in one of those car commercials the other day and my wife had no idea who she was, despite having seen several of her movies! The one thing she had going is she was somewhat cute at the start but she's lost her babyfat and looks gaunt and unhealthy now. Hurray for Hollywood! lol
Guardians 3 will be the one MCU movie this year that ought to do gangbusters, as these are the last truly beloved characters in the Marvel canon that haven't been killed off, retired or replaced with a black/female/gay substitute. After they're gone, the idea of another massive Avengers crossover holds little appeal, especially as the "big bad" they've been setting up is played by an actor who just got into a major scandal and will have to be replaced.Plus, it's doubly ironic also the one Marvel franchise that had its own cinematic identity -- Guardians -- is ending as Gunn is off to DC.

As public criticism mounts, Feige is pulling the plug on scripts and projects that aren’t working. Case in point: the “Blade” reboot. With Mahershala Ali signed on for the eponymous role of a vampire, things looked promising for a 2023 release date. But the project has gone through at least five writers, two directors and one shutdown six weeks before production. One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board.
Recently on Twitter I bemoaned the current era of Disney, using the phrase "Inserting political rhetoric" into movies instead of making them, you know, fun, and of COURSE someone came back with this...AndyDursin wrote: ↑Thu Nov 02, 2023 9:29 am You can't take a beloved property and expect people are going to love it just because you bought it. Not when you basically hold the audience that loves it in contempt, and when you try and change it into something benefitting your own ideology, expect them to not have any issue with it.
