  • This is for CinemaScore, where they poll audiences at the theater after watching the movie. The average score they gave was B-, which is the lowest score for an MCU movie so far.

    Thor: Love and Thunder received a B+ CinemaScore, back when people were still semi-optimistic about Phase 4.

  • There was this one video where flat-Earthers tried to prove the Earth was flat, so they recreated the experiment by Eratosthenes and accidentally proved the Earth was round. I can't find it right now but it's hilarious.

  • We did finally address the elephant in the ocean.

    Oh, right! I forgot about that.

    I guess the only thing that changed is that adamantium is now in the MCU, which may lead into 616-Wolverine and the X-Men.

  • Why You Should Hate Young People

    Because they keep playing those video games, of course!

  • After seeing it, I can honestly say...it's the best MCU movie since Deadpool & Wolverine.

    In all seriousness, it wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't good. During the film's opening minutes, I heard one teenager in the row behind me say, "Yo, that is not Captain America!" I think he echoed how most of the general public feels about Sam Wilson.

    Basically, nothing happened in the movie. There's a lot of stereotypical Marvel quips, especially from Joaquin. Lots of obvious CGI scenes. I'm not sure how to say this, but it didn't feel like an MCU movie at all - just a generic action film that just happened to have Marvel characters.

    I was expecting Red Hulk to have more of a presence in the movie based on the marketing, but it turns out Red Hulk was supposed to be the major plot twist/big 11th-hour reveal, so if you've seen any marketing for this movie whatsoever - even a poster - you've been spoiled.

    It's not worth sticking around for the post-credits scene. It's literally just "Something vague is coming...". One of the worst post-credits scenes from Marvel.

    My immediate reaction upon leaving the theater was feeling like I'd wasted my time and money, and that perhaps the critics were right. But after reflecting on it for a few hours, there were a lot of parts I enjoyed, particularly the scene where Isaiah goes rogue and gets arrested, and when Sam stops the fighter jets from Japan. It wasn't that bad, just not something that needs to be seen on the big screen (and as a huge advocate of the theater experience, I can't believe I'm typing that...about a Marvel movie, no less!). I enjoyed this movie, but it's definitely not something you need to rush out and see. Hopefully Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four can right the ship.

    So, bottom line: if you can only see one movie this weekend, go see Paddington in Peru or Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.

  • Off the top of my head:

    • Rock Bottom
    • Krusty Krab Training Video
    • Squid's Day Off
    • Idiot Box
  • I'm seeing it tomorrow, so no spoilers, but it currently has a 53% RT score. I'm still hoping for a good turn-your-brain-off experience.

    Can't wait for all the posts saying "I just saw Brave New World, I don't get the hate!"

  • We appreciate the advice, but check what community you're in.

  • It never occurred to me to create a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich, but now that I think about it, it sounds really good!

  • What store was this? And what was the brand of the TV?

  • Semi-relevant xkcd, but replace the last sentence with "Oh, he just wiped Windows and installed Ubuntu? Uh, cool, that works too."

  • I saw this and thought to myself, "This keyboard reminds me of the old Xbox controller!"

    Then I looked closer and saw the Xbox logo.
