    Looks like a remake of the 1st Thor movie. With Thor exiled to Earth looking for his Hammer, making human friends until his allies from Asgard come to bring him back home to evil.

    They're blinded by childhood nostalgia for the Clone Wars. See I never watched the entire series. I just saw a couple episodes each season. Usually the best and worst episodes. His fans only give him credit for the good ones. Average them out and he's just mediocre. If you include his live action it is just more mediocre.

    Halfway through the 2nd episode. I guess the show is okay, but I find many of the characters to be annoying. I don't know if they're all bad actors are they just gave them bad characters. Holly Hunter, I know is an award-winning actress, but I can't stand her quirky character. Holly Hunter is one of those god awful I refuse to wear shoes in public people. Many of these characters share the same traits: quirky, awkward and annoying. I'm fine with such characters when there's only one of them by series. Dialog is way too modern. In less than 10 years this show will be more dated than the original series because of this. I still think the production design looks cheap and figured out the reason they've got CGI droids and aliens in the background. I rather they used the money for more physical sets. One of the main cadets is a blue skinned fish-face alien. His makeup is all CGI, but I guess they don't have the budget to CGI his face all the time, so the Cadet wears a human face hologram? The logic of this show offends me. In the 2nd episode a cadet is hauled to his seat at very important diplomatic meeting by security. The cadet's uniform is covered in space snot. How dumb is security? Bringing in a cadet covered in snot isn't a good impression. This is especially stupid when we see them changing cadet's clothes through some sort of a transporter dressing room. Why didn't security stop off there first? I think this show is trying too hard to connect with the Zoomers. Is that what the current generation is called? I'm no Zoomers but even they should be offended by such pandering. This show has potential and isn't that bad, but I feel it needs a course correction to focus on what works and everybody being the quirky character is not it.

    I'm about ready to mark all AI trailers as spam. It is bad enough that people have to post every single official image for every single movie. Here's the same official image was already posted here last week but here it is again with a different font. The same images repackaged is not new information. AI trailers are even worst. They are garbage that no-talent thieves spam on YouTube to steal views from actual official creators and actual fan creators.

    100% true. If you loved Ahsoka and Mandalorian Season 3 well I got good news for you. Filoni is the world's most luckiest hack.

    I'm sorry but all this is just AI slop. It makes for some pretty screen grabs and looks good in short clips, but it is just slop. There are cuts every few second because the technology isn't there for a longer takes. Resulting in bad edit. Actors look and sound the part, but performances are robotic. These hacks are capitalizing off of fan nostalgia more than Disney is. Using AI to give fans what they wanted to see back in 1990 with the original actors. It is nice to see a young Luke Skywalker again but that's the only good these things going for them. Remember when fan films were actually real films.

    I bet at its release the makers and right holders considered M2 canon. Kawamori wasn't involved. Only when he returned to making Macross did M2 join the Kelvin timeline. Even the Kawamori post Macross TV stories belong in a 3rd alternative timeline in my opinion. In that timeline Macross TV happened but stylistically it looked more like DYRL in design. Once you make a retcon no matter how small it creates an alternative universe. Canon is meaningless. It is whatever they say it is to support the latest project. M2 and M+ just watch and enjoy both for their individual merits.

    This movie will sink Disney. Movies are just too expensive to make. I don't why. Maybe people see a movie production and automatically charge them triple for services. Too often we're seeing these multi hundred million dollars films that don't look that good which need to take in almost a billion to break even. Unless they can convince everyone in world to see it that's a near impossible feat. I look at this movie and think how much money will it cost? Throwing more money at the screen creates a bigger problem. You now have to convince everyone in the world to see it twice. It will be a miracle if they break even.

    I have this rule. It is called if the opening of your movie includes somebody pissing, you're in for a bad movie. See Water World for example. I have yet to see the new Superman movie but from what I've seen and read a bunch of monsters and cosmic weird stuff happens in it. I've got problem with superhero movies that bring cosmic chaos to Earth. It is unrealistic in how everyone is pretty much fine afterwards. That stuff is too strange for average people to deal with. The economy, essential services, law and order would all break in the mass hysteria. Not just in the city happen it but around the entire globe. When your movie take place in outer space you can get weird and it doesn't break the rules of reality. So, I'll give it a point for that.

    I would pay to see the original unaltered but I don't want to have the same experience as I did with the special editions. With a bunch of teenagers running around throwing shit and yelling. I want to see it with an audience of cinemaphiles in the screening room of a university. Who can appreciate it in silence for the film's narrative structure and technological achievements in the art of filmmaking.

    A few months ago, rumors were flying around YouTube this Bat in the Sun guy wasn't paying people as promised.

    Much of social media is one big jumble. You can't return to a conversation because it gets buried under a ton of other stuff or doesn't get seen at all because the algorithm isn't sharing it. Many people just post to please the algorithm by sharing to get likes or incite anger. That what Enshittification is about. In the beginning social media is very cool. It is more convenient and has a bunch of features. Once they get everyone onboard, they turn the place to shit on purpose.

    I'm aware of how tacky it looks for a Moderator to make a "look how cool our place is" post. I still have to make a post about it. With the rise of social media, we saw the decline of many traditional methods of online fan gatherings. Like forums. While useful most forums are very subject specific. Many fans have multiple interests.Those who wanted to be well informed would have to visit multiple forums a day. Social media made being a fan of multiple interests more convenient. Just visit Facebook, join a bunch of Groups and read all the news about your hobby fed directly to your timeline. Then came the enshittification, AI Slop, scammers and the meme spammers. Way too much clutter. You can't keep track of things. I now find myself starting to lurk old forums of the past. Wondering if I can remember my old login information. Social media has been helpful finding locals who share the same interests but for day-to-day online interactions to learn something new and share opinions I'm seeing forums as the superior method. Anyone else feeling nostalgic for the days of online fan communities before the age of social media?
