Spider-Man: Brand New Day is actually melting the brains of people who can't see a character do actual bad things and have layered reasoning in a movie. Amazing. They're so in-deep conditioned by actual fascist storytelling that one fairly well-written and mildly challenging movie broke them.

Watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day genuinely feels like this
I can't be the only person who instantly knows why a character that textually personifies the betrayal of human values and complete corruption of society should not be cast as a person of color... Right?
In this piece, I regret the paragraph about the uses of the POC actors - who are all great, but IMO under-utilized (and why couldn‘t Himesh Patel be Odysseus instead?) I still think the film largely wastes its strong cast, but I framed it badly.
Now this is fair to criticize - an Odyssey movie with Patel as Odysseus would be great but obviously not THIS Odyssey where it would be pretty bad to frame a brown guy as a symbol of the failings of American imperial policy.

The Odyssey lacks cyclops dong. Manage your expectations accordingly.
Just watched Avatar Aang. Beautiful movie. I kinda get why the Fire Nation felt the need to wipe out airbenders tho, when one of these guys turn out a villain they're a fucking PROBLEM 💀
crazy the chokehold classical narrative and hero's journey bs have on people that they can't bring themselves to engage with one of the most beautiful pieces of sheer craft and free poetic dramaturgy bc they'll check out at the slightest sign of something off the curve. Anyway HER PRIVATE HELL rules
Not production stills anymore and still looks as flat as it could ever look...
She just wanted a friend. All episodes of Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, premiere October 7 on Prime Video. Based on Stephen King's classic novel.
Getting Gosling as Ghost Rider at the cost of Levy directing has got to be god's perfect joke on all of us. This is like giving a Slipknot setlist for Taylor Swift to perform.
Ryan Gosling is... GHOST RIDER. It's official. The MCU movie will be directed by Shawn Levy.
often frustrated when i don't want to support a movie because i don't want to contribute to its success but i find it hard to not go see it in theaters bc i just love going to the movies, but wow NOTHING about this looks any appealing to me, this might be an easy skip www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNd1...

i wish people would stop calling this chopped ass Doomsday Mystique suit "comic accurate". Only thing it has in common with the comic suit is the color. And it's fucking ugly
After telling a friend to watch She-Ra she’s finally reaching the peakest of peak episode yesssss
mid season 5 of she-ra; interjecting a quick second to say that episode 5 "save the cat" might be one of the most hype episodes of anything i've seen in ages. What the fuck this is so good. i am in awe. lesbianism is the most powerful force in the universe.

oh hell no not the time limit on Super Saiyan transformations on Xenoverse 3....... Everything was perfect, they had to ruin it somehow
look i KNOW these are production stills and not footage but yikes. Terrible first look. Stale, no personality, bordering on the 2002 TV movie. We'll see how it goes but from these the 2013 version is owed a big time apology.
