make 100 of anything, make a hundred blenders a hundred cars or a hundred bottles of hooch - there's gonna be good ones, bad ones, mediocre ones, a whole range.
you can see this in star trek, star wars, marvel, etc.
funny enough, you don't see it in the DCU....because aquaman is a high point over there. blech
Re: DCU, THE Suicide Squad is quite enjoyable. The series Peacemaker that is a spin-off of it is also good. THE Batman is good, and the Penguin series is good.
But ya, they have some huge stinkers. I basically just assume a DCU product is going to be garbage. I can't believe they still let Zack Snyder make movies.
The Batman and Penguin are DC but not DCU. The Suicude Squad and Peacemaker are both made by Gunn - they're kind of the unofficial start of a new era. The Zack Snyder days is the DCU we're criticizing. It seems with Gunn things are getting better.
Creature Commandos was surprisingly good as well.
I hadn't even heard of that, I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
Animated series on Max that dropped a few weeks ago. It's the first release of James Gunn's DC universe.
valid points.
I don't think anyone can make a lot of any product and have uniform perfection, it just doesn't work that way.
People still watch the marvel movie?
Im gonna wait and see for myself, the internet has been shitting on marvel movies regularly since Endgame came out.
People have been shitting on superhero movies ever since Green Lantern came out, regardless of who made them.
I saw it and posted my thoughts in the discussion thread, but if you want, you can see it for yourself and form your own opinion.
they never deserved a B
I just have never been impressed with Anthony Mackie. He’s always kind of been a mediocre actor which is fine if you’re in a side character role, but he doesn’t stand up to playing the star character. I’m convinced his performance in the second season of Altered Carbon is why it got cancelled, because that first season was some excellent sci-fi and the lead in that season was good and most importantly convincing. Mackie fell flat.
So him suddenly being the new captain America is…lol. What did marvel think was going to happen here. It’s like that second black panther movie where that antivax lady became the star character. Thrust into the lead role and the movie fell apart.
Anything with Mackie in it will suffer the same fate. I hope this proves me wrong though
The writing in the second season was much worse, too, unfortunately.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. He lacks a wide range of acting ability, he has only one mode and that's "angry black guy". No subtlety of any kind, no range.
Twsited metal? I didn't like him as an actor til after watching it, not a fan of the falcon show or him as capt america in general, they made his personality boring, the movie looked like it improved it from the trailer.
I'll have to psyche myself up to even consider trying that one, but I'll put it on the list and hope it alters my view of him as an actor.
If you like brooklyn 99, rosas in it with a more human personality, she almost seems typecast at first, but isnt
Like hes good serious, not stoic, might be the right word
Yeah I like him when hes in a proper comedy action role, not trying to be serious
Well obviously cinemascore is just racist.
