Why is the second Mario movie called the Mario Galaxy Movie. Shouldn't it be the Super Mario World Movie? Then the third one could be Galaxy. You can't deescalate so you can't do World now. What will the third one be called? Who is managing this franchise

I reviewed James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg for IGN, a solid if occasionally shaky WWII drama anchored by the always compelling Russell Crowe as Hitler's second-in-command Hermann Göring:

Even 40 years after its release, the sci-fi/horror/zombie movie about space vampires may still be the most bonkers big-budget film of all time.

Every day this fucking technology makes the world worse and no one is doing a damn thing to stop it
NEW: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said earlier this month that ChatGPT now has 800 million weekly active users. The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis.

Excellent article from @carlosalonzom.bsky.social on why we need to adjust our box office expectations (CBMs especially). If a film makes ENOUGH $ for itself (let alone greenlighting a sequel) then that's all that matters. Merchandise sales & streaming deals certainly help. bsky.app/profile/ign....
You know, Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps both failed to hit a billion dollars at the box office. And that's totally OK!

I've been hard on the AV Club, a once vital & essential culture site that turned into a rote clearing house for thinly written click bait, but this is an excellent deconstruction of the disastrous post-Endgame MCU. I was surprised until i saw @carolinesiede.bsky.social wrote it. She knows her shit.
To save the superhero movie, we need to bring back themes
In the post-Endgame landscape, superhero movies like Captain America: Brave New World have abandoned themes for synergy.

It really is time for the MCU to stop using military imagery (and military contributions in general) to prop up their superheroes. Sam's Cap should just be a civilian superhero at this point. My hope is that once the F4 and X-Men arrive that Marvel let's us root for underdogs for a change.
Captain America: Brave New World isn't great, and a big reason why is that it's the worst example yet of the MCU romanticizing the military. I dove into why this ruins the movie @IGN:
