I'm really hoping Barbie meets the hype. I mean Mattel protects their brand, but they are a bit more flexible/willing to be a bit risky than Disney. There is that Barbie cartoon (I think it's the one just before it's current rendition) where Barbie and co are dolls (in-universe) and they let Barbie get all kinds of silly in that show. (I have kids and am up on all the current Barbie stuff). From interviews it looks like even the actors were surprised at some of what Mattel let them do so I have fingers crossed!
You and me both! I think Mattel just isn’t afraid to go “outside of the box” so to speak, but I also think that’s the whole premise of this new movie. So while the trailer did catch me off guard, I’m excited to see what Greta’s vision is!
My favorite comment about the Kraven trailer came from my sister when I showed her the trailer. In a confused voice she asked "Was he bit by a radioactive lion?" And now I can't not laugh at it. It's not a bad trailer. It just doesn't make a ton of sense.
The creator of five nights at freddy's made sure to take his time on the movies even though it took 8 years to get somewhere, hes been through 2 directors and almost 20 scripts to make sure this movie was as good as it could be. He said he will only do the first 3 games as movies and no more.
As a FNAF fan since the first game I’m so excited for the movie. Anyway, a detail someone mentioned in the Barbie movie is that she might be flouting down because no one actually used the stairs and instead would just pick up the dolls.
With Will Ferrell kind of playing the same character, I'm really hoping that Barbie is in the LEGO movie universe. I'd love to see Batman show up with his lobster thermidor.
Kraven in most versions of him has powers, the comics, the animated shows, the games, but the one difference in every single one is how he gets those powers lol that part changes quite often What I do love is that we're getting the animal kingdom Kraven who protects animals and learns from them, that's always been my favorite version of Kraven in the comics and shows when they portray him that way
Here’s the thing with the Barbie trailers, I feel like they pile so much madness into it and make it purposefully confusing so I’m like “I have no idea what’s going on so I have to see this movie to see what’s happening” 😂
Freddy's looks fantastic, having the girl there and showing the ghost kids actually gives emotional weight to the child murder (unlike most of the games)
The FNAF movie seems to be combining elements from the original game, the third game/the secret "minigames" from FNAF2 (which is actually a prequel to FNAF1), a few details from the novels, as well as adapting the character of Vanessa from the latest game Security Breach (in which she was a security guard of a future location but appears to be a cop in this). Josh is playing the player character of the original game, Mike Schmidt. The guy who hires him "Steve Raglan" played by Matthew Lillard is a fake identity as it was confirmed that Lillard would be playing the main antagonist of the franchise, William Afton, co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment and the guy who murdered the kids that now haunt the animatronics. The yellow rabbit character seen in two shots of the trailer is Afton inside of the "Spring Bonnie" suit that he used to commit his murders. The spring lock suits being special creations that could convert between animatronic and wearable suit. William Afton was only alluded to in the original game by mention of the murders, being formally introduced as the mysterious "purple guy" in FNAF2, and being properly fleshed out and named in the Silver Eyes novel and its sequels. In the secret minigames from FNAF2, William is cornered by the ghost children and the spring locks in his suit end up malfunctioning due to the shoddy nature of their design, causing the suit to shift into animatronic mode, crushing Afton inside and creating the antagonist of FNAF3: Springtrap. Since Afton (in the Spring Bonnie suit) and the ghost children are in this movie directly, if I was to wager a guess, I'd assume this movie will end with the creation of Springtrap, setting up a potential sequel. Oh, and the Freddy that appears with the little girl at the end of the trailer appears to be Golden Freddy, a distinct entity from the brown-coloured stage animatronic with an extra strong grudge against Afton.
The Dune joke made me subscribe. Also, my favourite moment from the original David Lynch film was the 'You Young Pup!' line (if you haven't seen the original Dune just yet, wait till you see who the one is shouting it)
I'm sure some of you have seen the "Barbenheimer" memes. Because Oppenheimer and Barbie come out on the same day, the internet has mashed them together with "Barbenheimer" ads, images, and even T-shirts. People are even planning to have a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature on that day. It reminds me of when Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out, and it's a reminder that the internet can be wholesome as fuck sometimes. 😄
Dune Part 2 looks, once again, monumental. Can't wait to see it with the most packed sound system I can get. And Kraven...you know, at what point Sony stops trying to make their Spiderverse without Spider-Man happen? Because it ain't gonna happen.
I honestly have no idea what to expect from Barbie other than it to subvert expectations. I did hear that the COO of Mattel wasn't sure about one scene from the script so ended up flying out to where it was being filmed. After a discussion (and a live performance of it from Margot), he got the nuance that the script couldn't give and was happy. Given it's Greta Gerwig, I shouldn't be surprised that there's more to this than the name alone would suggest.
Kraven, Calypso, Rhino, and the Chameleon all in one movie!! Let’s go! Calypso is responsible for Kraven’s transformation in the comics and as shown here in the trailer (notice the tarot card during the transformation).
44:53 Fun fact, Adam supposed team Gale person. He was never originally intended to be a love interest for Katniss. The publisher made the author add the triangle in because they felt that’s what YA stories needed. He was originally her cousin.. Also, Adam might finally be budging on Dune. About time.
Dune is both much bigger and dramatically darker than this, I don't know if Adam would like it. I'm pretty surprised they intend to adapt the next book, actually, man it's dark.
Dune Messiah is basically confirmed at this point even without the studio knowing what the opening weekend box office for Part Two will be. But yeah, it's going to be a dark and divisive film for general audiences.
I have been sitting here wondering when yall were gonna review the DUNE TRAILER!?! So happy to have both of you, even if Jay is probably the walking dead from living with a newborn 😂.
Kraken was one of Spidermans' most formidable foes back in the day! He was one of the only humans that could sneak up on Spiderman without tripping his Spiderman sense! In the cartoons he had a potion that he drank to give him the strength of 10 gorillas and other traits. He was awesome!
The thing about Five Night's at Freddy's is that the creator of the franchise, Scott Cawthon, is very hands on with this movie, so a lot of things from mainly the first game (which came out in 2014) is probably going to be in this. Apparently, if this does well, which I have no doubt it will, then there's going to be a trilogy of this which is going to be AMAZING!!! I'm a big FNaF fan so I have a lot knowledge of this stuff. Also, Adam, you are very correct, the lore of this franchise is... to say 'complicated' is an understatement, but sad, creepy, and fun to piece together nonetheless. (Also, there are more games being made. FNaF: Security Breach, which came out around a year ago is getting a DLC this month, and there's a new VR game in development, scheduled to come out later his year, apparently)
This is admittedly inspired by a comic arc where Kraven was more of an antihero, and a supersoldier serum mixed with lion blood and got in his system to give him powers. So I think that lion must ingest the serum when it bites his backpack, and then the blood gets in his system. That said... damn this movie looks nothing like what I hoped from a Kraven movie
apparently the ceo of mattel came down to set to tell greta gerwig a scene could not be in the film at all and greta and margot fought for it and performed it for him live on set and he was convinced
Omg “in theaters and Peacock” DOES THAT MEAN ACCESSIBILITY?!? The whole “only in theaters” bit has been WILDLY ableist by making it impossible for large groups of people who can’t go to a theater for health, mobility, or financial reasons to access most movies coming out now. I had no interest in Peacock or the Freddy’s movie but now I’m interested!
Kraven is just a guy who’s the best hunter he doesn’t have super powers he’s just a big guy who hunts for sport (that includes animals) but the new version of kraven which they’re going with makes him an eco conservationist where he’s a friend of beasts and protects them from the evils of man. So you see how there’s a slight contrast between Kraven the Hunter (ie spiderman 2 game version) and Kraven the eco warrior (like a violent Tarzan) it’s just not really it.
With the box office being so weird and unpredictable this year, I feel like any dollar amount will be considered a successful opening weekend for Barbie.
I think this craven is Kraven II, Russel Crowe's character being the original. He's a mutant. The original drank "potions" to give himself superhuman attribs not to Spidey level.
I could possibly see them using this to include Kraven in Spiderman 4 if they ever make it. Like he is trying to hunt Spider-man because the world still believes that he killed Mysterio. Probably will never happen though.
I never got why Sony is pumping out Anti Hero films featuring Spider-Mans Rogues Gallery with zero connection to a Spider-Man. Maybe that will all change in the Madam Webb movie where we finally get introduced to a Peter Parker (Seems to be a Baby from the rumours) and maybe a Spider-Man but I'm on the fence with this idea that we have to introduce these characters in solo films before Spider-Man. Venom films I enjoyed 99% because of Eddie and Venom but everything else has been awful. Maybe Kraven can prove us wrong but so far it's a mixed bag of cool looking stuff and some like "wtf was that" moments.
Weirdly I'm kinda rooting for sony to make a good spin off movie based on one of these Spider-Man characters because ever since Disney bought fox I kinda miss the those X-Men movies and I want something different from marvel that isn't just mcu content all the time
I mean tbf it is rumored that Sony is building up to a Spider-Man vs Sinister Six movie, so it would be a lot easier to introduce these characters in solo projects instead of pulling an ASM2 and trying to juggle multiple villains origins and motivations at once.
