I was rewatching Iron man the other day and I couldn’t help but think that when Tony is in that cave and he’s making the Mark 1 suit, after he makes the mask imagine he puts it on too soon and it’s still hot so that’s his dr doom origin😭
Craziest part is that I believe him. Don't really see how Disney can get people to watch a Thunderbolts movie otherwise, especially when all of the main characters were just side characters from some of the least popular Marvel movies and a Disney+ show. Sentry can be a draw but nowhere near enough to carry the audience
I love his theory. Unfortunately I think the reveal will be a little more sensible and boring (Val bought the tower and it’s Dark Avengers) but I do want to see more unhinged and weird swings from the MCU> middle of the road “it’s pretty ok” predictability.
@@CrowTRobot almost certainly going to be Robert Downey junior and he's dr doom. They are going to ride the fact that he was iron man, but now doom SO hard. It's the only way casting him works. They can't pretend he isn't dr doom, they have to lampshade it so hard it's actually part of the plot.
@@kylecarter1599haven’t finished the episode yet but I’m guessing this person is referencing a moment that happens in the podcast instead of regurgitating an extremely outdated and dull copypasta.
My one real criticism of Romulus was it had too much music. The most unsettling part of the first two films were the quiet tension building moments. It felt like the soundtrack often telegraphed moments or was just telling me how to feel. Best movie ever.
What's even weirder about that whole Disney lawsuit thing is that it wasn't even a Disney restaurant in the first place, but rather a 3rd party business situated in Disney Springs (which is essentially an open-air mall inside Disney World with shops and restaurants.) I'd have thought Disney would lead with that as opposed to this bizarre Disney+ Terms & Conditions argument that's just completely insane and makes them look even more like cartoonish dystopian overlords.
Usually when they have a guest on they enter a bit of a frenzy and the whole thing gets real hard to listen to, but Alexei was fantastic on this episode. Covered pretty much everything about Romulus they could. One of the best episodes I think they’ve ever done.
Bringing up Kneecap is amazing! First ever Irish language film to be in sundance. As a nation, we cannot be more proud and as a fan of the band and this podcast. I kind of lost my shit when it got brought up 😂
I think the * in Thunderbolts is just because Val says they can't be officially called the Thunderbolts because they can't be associated with the president.
I saw Megalopolis at the same screening as Toliopoulos, and it might have been one of my favourite movie going/leaving experiences. I've heard the film getting compared to a Neil Breen film and even an early Robert Rodriguez film, and I couldn't agree more. Loved the film, and am hoping to see it again.
The next Alien movie by Fede Alvarez will be Rain waking up over a century later on a prison planet run by the military of Resurrection and she and Andy will meet the corpse of Winona Ryder who warns them of an Alien that has grown from a tiger and Andy will land a behind the head no look basketball shot. Also, it takes place between Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Rob Pearlman guest appearance rumored
32:15 I’m really hoping we see the differences in power scale with Superman. He’s always holding back. I wanna see him deal with that whether he’s saving someone or fighting an alien or human. Like lifting someone off the ground is the same as him lifting a waterbottle. It’s nothing to him like a reflex or something.
@@BaithNa He said Oscorp doesn't exist. But that can easily be retconned as he was wrong. Guy wasn't stable after all, can easily have missed it if he only looked for it where he expected it to be. It's not like these films haven't done anything like that before.
Sadly, I think it’s going to be the more logical and less hype reveal of it being Val. I like Val a lot but it wouldn’t really be a “reveal”. For some reason I want it to be someone we haven’t met yet.
@@BaithNathat’s not literally what they say. Norman, homeless and wandering the streets, suggests that he couldn’t find Oscorp or his son Harry in the places that they should be. Sure, you can insinuate that there’s no Norman but it likely just means that his building and kid weren’t there when he checked (the point being that he’s not in his world anymore, he’s lost and scared). I don’t believe they ever explicitly stated “there is no Norman that exists here” but please correct me if I’m wrong.
@@CrowTRobot The line was; "I didn't know where else to go. Someone's living in my house. Oscorp doesn't exist. My son... " Nothing else was said about it. Which can easily mean it doesn't exist full stop sure, but theres enough leeway to say that he just couldn't find his version, the guy was struggling and wandering aimlessly, it's easily possible he didn't search everywhere for an Oscorp, just that he couldn't find his Oscorp. No way they'd have some of the biggest factors of Spiderman just not exist.
The restaurant wasn't owned by Disney and was at Disney Springs, a glorified outside mall on Disney property. I do think the Disney+ thing is dumb and stupid though.
And it was also the fault of the employee who said their weren't any nuts (or the allergen) in the food. It would be the Company's fault if they had a policy to say there were no allergens, but I doubt Disney would do that given how they clearly dot their i's and cross their t's. It's sad that his wife died, but blaming Disney is a huge reach.
@@CrowTRobot they must be suing the restaurant and Disney as well. That would explain the relatively small amount Disney is being sued for and Disney’s reluctance to pay possibly. Just a guess
My big defence for [SPOILER] in Romulus is that he is a very good shorthand for the characters motivations. The moment you see his face you dont need a scene or any lines to describe his motivations, thats all been done by another movie
It's embarrassing to admit but I had no idea that a new Aliens movie was coming out. I thought they were just doing the Aliens series on Caravan of Garbage for fun.
I dunno about the Nostromo being vaporized three times (I assume you mean in extended media?) but Romulus does not take place aboard the Nostromo. The space station the movie takes place on is called the Renaissance and it has different sections because it's a different vessel.
Eternals was such a nothing movie. I remember leaving the cinema thinking "god i hope that doesn't get a sequel", it was just so unmemorable, bordering on boring. The ONLY parts i remember are the cute interactions of Makari and Druig (who had infinitely more chemistry and personlaity than the main couple we were supposed to care about). Everything else was desperately trying to be so meaningful and impactful, interwoven into the fabric of that universe and "this will change the world forever" and it just.....didn't? The MCU just moved on without any acknowledgement of anything that happened in that film, which is hilarious considering the scale of it. Its just a high budget Inhumans for all the relevancy it had and will have on anything. No one cares about those characters whatsoever (edit: not true, i care about Druig and Makari. Everyone else can get tae fck)
It was trying to be something big and impactful, but unfortunately it was a Marvel movie. So it couldn't be a serious film and it definitely was not a fun film. The movie had more of an identity crisis than the female lead, whatever her name was. Trying to be human but you're just not.
@@lyndsaybrown8471 why does everyone always assume it's Marvel's fault? Seemed like that director had free reign. If anything, Feige should have reigned her in
It was an unbalanced mix of intriguing characters that didn’t get enough screen time + really boring characters that got TOO much screen time. I really liked Gilgamesh & Thena’s relationship, Kingo’s ego and Druid’s chaotic nature, the movie wanted to give Ikaris and Sirsei the most screen time and they just didn’t feel developed or interesting to me.
@@CrowTRobot Its so wild how they had such a huge cast of characters, and gave the lions share of screen time to the two most boring ones. Ikaris is a literal plank of wood, absolute nothing of a character with no interesting motivations for anything. And Sirsei wasn't much better, just "kind hopeful one". They had zero chemistry. You're right about Gilgamesh and Thena, too bad that was crammed in as a C plot and not given room to breath. I hate how inconsistant Sprite's story was, and how it tread way too much of the same ground as the girl from Interview with a Vampire.
I think it's hilarious that people have collectively decided to forget that The Mummy wasn't the start of the Dark Universe. It was just the nail in the coffin. Dracula Untold was actually supposed to kick that off.
The weird thing with re-using the android "actors" in these things is where it breaks the immersion of the world. Weyland-Yutani are planting these androids unknown amongst human crew for whatever reason - why would they ever want two different ones to have the same face? Anyone who has any reason to visit both ships is instantly going to blow the game. There's no reason they wouldn't have the technology in the future to give each one a randomly generated set of facial features and even different voices, mannerisms etc. The same thing always bugged me with all of the Arnie T-800(/T-101) terminators. Like, they use dogs to detect the terminators, wouldn't it be easier to just have a poster with Arnie's face and say "Don't let this guy in"? We're told there are "dozens" of different skins for the terminators, but why isn't literally every single one completely different so nobody who has fought one will recognise the other? Gah. It's a weird thing to get hung up on but it always takes me right out of the movie (especially when I know the IRL justification is just that they wanted a face fans would recognise for nostalgia purposes).
My take with fede is i love evil dead, romulus, and dont breath but the fact wether it was netflix or him the decided he shouldnt direct TCM will always be a “damn” moment for me. Potential.
Maso hating Looper is actually what made go rewatch the movie. I slept through it the first time I saw it, but upon a rewatch, it's apretty cool joint... (despite the fact that JGL and Bruce Willis look nothing alike) And CinemSins is correct, chances that kid still grows up to be an assh0le are sky high.
both Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the director could come out and say the movie was gonna end with a Rhino tease and he was added to the movie in reshoots, i still wouldnt believe it. because genuinely no suit would accept another sony spidey movie ending like ASM2. The production of that movie is probably the cover of a "Moviemaking No-No's 101" over at Sony
@@CrowTRobot Venom as a character at least has an interesting hook with the possibility of fun banter. I don't see any such potential with Kraven as a stand-alone.
If they bring Willem DaFoe back, explain it as the result of an incursion or something. The universe is falling apart because Secret Wars is coming. That's all they have to say if they want him.
"My mother was researching Creatures from the Black Lagoon right before she died". also Romulus is the best Alien movie since Ressurrections, which isnt much but it's enough. 4th best Alien movie (1,2,3, Romulus, R, Prometheus, Covenant), greatest movie of all time. edit: felt wild to hear someone say Romulus explored the "what is human" question well. like, the performance was great and he worked as a plot device but the movie did literally nothing to make me interested in him like easily the worst part of the movie story-wise, reminded me of The Creator.
