What if Robert Downey Jr. is only playing a Dr. Doom variant for a one-scene cameo, a la Henry Cavill in Deadpool 3? What if the REAL Dr. Doom actor is totally a secret, and the RDJ casting is just a distraction a la Ken Watanabe as Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins? [1/2]

What if Disney is counting on you being impressed by Galactus despite the existence of the much-bigger Arishem because you don't know who or what an Arishem is because you didn't watch The Eternals because nobody watched The Eternals?

Galactus wasn't even that big! He was merely Godzilla sized! You know who was big? Arishem, from The Eternals, who could sit on Earth like a chair. I find it difficult to take Galactus seriously as a threat when the villain from a Marvel flop is much more impressive. [1/2]

Why did 9-month-pregnant Sue Storm NEED to go with the others to visit Galactus? Why couldn't THREE of the Fantastic Four just do the mission?

Michelle Yeoh. One of my favorite actresses. Incandescent. But she shouldn't be allowed to sing. Ever again.
Can we PLEASE have a singing double for Madam Morrible for Wicked 2?

Dear god. Silent Hill. The ONLY movie in which the character played by Sean Bean has the BEST survival instincts.

The main characters in Silent Hill (the movie) deserve Darwin Awards. If your adopted daughter has nightmares about Silent Hill (which you’ve never been to before) and draws horrifying demons and corpses, and wakes up screaming “SILENT HILL!” DON’T TAKE TO SILENT HILL. Take her to a therapist!

I’m going to assume Darth Vader altered the Jedi archives to say that Anakin Skywalker DID achieve the rank of Jedi Master, and in fact was the GREATEST Jedi Master of them all! CERTAINLY more impressive than those losers Yoda, Mace, and Obi-Wan.

No, the royalties from Be Sharps music probably won't make Homer a millionaire, but it's quite realistic that it provides for a comfortable living. Certainly enough to keep a two-story house, two cars, a dog, a cat, an elderly father's housing expenses, etc. without Marge needing to work. (thread)

Until/unless Matt Groening personally contacts me to disprove me, I'm going to assume that the majority of Homer Simpson's income comes from royalties from the music he released while a member of the band the Be Sharps. (thread)

I also thought Edward Furlong and Edward Norton were the same person. When I saw T2, I never learned Edward Furlong's name. I just knew him as the actor who played John Connor whose name might have been Edward Something. I didn't see him in any movies for years, then I saw Primal Fear (1 of 2).

For decades, I thought David Warner and Ian McKellen were the same person. I didn't even realize they were TWO people until I saw X-Men 1, which was when I first started paying attention to Ian McKellen, then I looked up some of his movies and was confused why Titanic wasn't listed. (1 of 2)

I think if would be pretty funny if Obi-Wan also voted no for whether to promote Anakin to Jedi Master.

If Darth Vader wanted to overthrow Emperor Palpatine, the best time to do it was during A New Hope. Darth Vader had a fully functional Death Star, and Palpatine wasn’t on it. Heck, just lie to Palpatine and say you’re bringing the Death Star to Coruscant for a parade, then blow up Coruscant.

The dumb crowd last night RUINED Black Phone 2 for me. There were several large groups that came together. Each group was basically providing running commentary for the whole movie. (1/2)

I don't understand why the Power Rangers morph one at a time. Wouldn't it be faster if they all morphed at the SAME time?

I want a direct prequel to the 1994 Street Fighter movie. I want it to take place in the 1970s. And I want the movie to make VERY CLEAR that these events happened on TUESDAY.

Until/unless Evan Peters personally contacts me to disprove me, I'm going to assume Disney gave him a version of Batman v. Superman that only has Jesse Eisenberg's scenes and told him, "This is the same character that you're playing," and Evan Peters just watched Batman v. Superman over and over.

Dear Disney,
Here is my pitch for Tron 4:
Tron shows up and says stuff and does stuff.
That's...that's my pitch.
I think it's better than whatever pitch you received from the director of Tron Ares.
Thank you for your consideration.

I wonder why Zack Snyder hates colors so much.

The director of Tron Ares must have thought to himself, "Wow, this would be EVEN COOLER if this movie takes place in the REAL WORLD. Which you can see by looking out your window. You know, where people drive cars. And you can't spawn weapons out of thin air. And there's police. And gravity."

I find it hilarious that Tron Ares reuses an 80s trope, a power ballad with vocals during a climactic final battle, completely without irony. The last time I saw this trope WITHOUT irony was Transformers: Age of Extinction, in which the music actually worked.

I find it hilarious that the Grid had a huge visual upgrade from Tron to Tron Legacy, yet Tron Ares was made decades after Tron Legacy and the Grid...uh...looks mostly the same, except now there's a red one and a blue one. Almost as if nobody involved in this movie had an original idea.

Like the previous two Tron movies, Tron Ares was pretty good! Also, like the last dozen or so Jared Leto movies I've seen, Tron Ares failed to make me like or even care about Jared Leto's character.

Professor Xavier is really, really bad at reading people when he can't use his psychic powers. The climax of X-Men: First Class shows Xavier totally earning a Darwin Award when he tries to reason with Magneto who, by the way, is wearing his helmet which blocks psychic powers. [thread]
