This needs to stop being a defense of that film. I have been talking about the new Ghostbusters film. Afterlife looks way better. For starters, there seems to be a competent script, and it seems to get the tone right. I could still be wrong of course. I hope fan service doesn't make up the...

I'm not against improvizing. The original Ghostbusters had improv too. But it also had a competent script and written jokes. It didn't have actors just obnoxiously yelling whatever they could think of to fill screentime.

No, the criticism is entirely deserved. They made a reboot about an iconic comedy, named it the exact same, but did not bother to write jokes for it. They just had their actors improvize for an hour, kept the camera rolling, and then slapped it together. It is an insult. I'm relieved that they...

Fieg's Ghostbusters reboot it hated for a reason. I'm not alone in this opinion. Don't make excuses for that awful reboot, or act like I have this perspective on movies in general. Fieg's Ghostbusters is one of the worst reboots ever made, and the fact that it bares the Ghostbusters name...

Original as in, so terrible it made you want to scratch out your own eyeballs. Calling it a comedy is debatable, since that would require writing jokes. I'm relieved this is as far away removed from Fieg's abysmal attempt at a reboot. It was an abomination that does not deserve the Ghostbusters...

Hawkeye is probably the Avenger that is most boring to me. But if the Kingpin shows up, my low expectations are turned into high expectations. Ms Marvel has the potential to be a lot of fun. The Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special should be very interesting.

Exactly. Further more, Tony Stark's feelings of guilt over the death of a boy he didn't even know, during Age of Ultron, is the primary reason for him signing the Sokovia accords in Captain America: Civil War. Tony Stark taking responsibility for the deaths and damage caused by the Avengers, is...

I like EzelkielRaiden's idea. I'll add to it, that perhaps avatars of the developers themselves will seek out the players to try and get to the bottom of this. Does the lead designer perhaps know something about the game's code that the rest of the dev team doesn't? I like the idea of a big...

In all fairness, the Ironman movies already address Tony's reckless behavior themselves. It is pretty much the focus of the movies.

This mass stupidity is truly astounding. Almost every doctor in the world is telling us to take the virus serious and get vaccinated, and yet there are still huge crowds of people who think they know better. That guy in the video who recovered from covid, and yet still refuses to get the...

I like his progressive stance. Plus the drow are in desperate need of more depth.

I have dwarves in my current homebrew campaign that have a mediterranean tinted skin and no beard. Diversity was never on my mind. The setting and its cultures were. Having dwarves in your setting that don't look like the standard Tolkien dwarves, keeps things fresh.

I see two sides to this. On the one hand, I have a strong feeling that commercial spaceflight is the future of space exploration. While you still need a huge amount of wealth to be able to afford a trip like this, I see these spaceflights as the first steps to make it more affortable to...

I can imagine an alternative finale for Black Widow, where instead of breaking into a ludicrous sky fortress, she instead has to sneak into an underground facility Mission Impossible-style. I would have liked to see some heist shennanigans; deadly traps, security measures, gadgets. They could...

They are trained assassins. Stealing a car is rather insignificant when considering they kill people. And while Nat is now an Avenger, and 'one of the good guys', she is also on the run and wanted for breach of the Sokovia Accords at this point in the MCU.

You are resurrecting a thread from 2013!

But James Bond was consistently absurd from start to finish. Black Widow feels like a grounded Marvel film at first, but the third act feels like an unwelcome intrusion by a different writer.

I enjoyed the movie, but it is a shame the more down to earth spy thriller stuff established early on in the film, is replaced by ludicrous sky base stuff later on. It feels as if they came up with the giant cgi climax first, and then wrote a better movie around it. The two elements feel...

I'm not against space exploration. I'm against million dollar egotrips that serve only one billionaire that wants to go to space.
