I watched Strawberry Mansion last night for the first time. It won't be for everybody but it's amazing how a film can seem nostalgic despite you not having seen it before as well as it coming off as fresh simultaneously. Something ironic about watching an anti advert culture movie on prime who have just enforced adverts unless you want to pay for the elite version of prime. There are new movies being made by creative directors but they don't tend to fall in to your lap. I always bang on about wanting to sign up to mubi to have a bit more if a nuanced collection available.
I don't think Marvel will ever come close to the build up to endgame but it'd have to go horribly wrong for them to call it quits. No matter how bad it gets it'll still have been a hell of an achievement. Some bad luck with actors / controversy alongside the idea that if you happen to have a female / black / gay protagonist it's suddenly woke propaganda and is too political for people that don't want to think or see anyone different to themselves.
If true, getting the dude who played ironman to play Dr Doom seems a bit dumb if it's theoretically happening in the same universe. Still doesn't seem to be going any better on the DC side of things especially in terms of controversy but we'll always have Sin City, Dredd, V for Vendett, Watchmen etc
Marvel/DC or any franchise are entertainment, I can enjoy them or not.
Never having read any of the comics I don’t have any emotional ties to the characters or visions of how they should be, makes no difference to me who plays them.
I'm a big fan of LOTR as a book, not so much of the films mainly because a lot of the characters are not how I imagined them as I read the books.
The book is almost always better than the movie because the movie is someone else interpretation of the book.
