Read non-fiction. Write adventure. Hype everything.

Live action over animated feels like a mistake for the upcoming Zelda movie.

George is a lazy bum.

There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market. He’s Marvel Daddy. Please retweet for a Logan-like send off. #DeadpoolAndWolverine

Why does Disney Star Wars announce so many projects that never come to fruition?

[Lyle James Jackson @Materialform]

While I’m not blaming Furiosa’s lackluster opening on marketing, if this storyworld is going to existing beyond its title character, the franchise really should rebrand from Max to the Wasteland.

[Lyle James Jackson @Materialform]

@SaffronOlive Of course they didn’t make this legendary.

[Dave Lee @daveleedwnundr]

This is what happens when you don’t actually bother to go to the theatre to support that really awesome, highly original film you’ve been demanding for so long 🙃

@Rob63925548 @golgariguy Dude gets one mechanic ban and votes to axe ward over protection?

Hexproof > ward, but man is protection loaded.

[Lyle James Jackson @Materialform]

@Kesswylie It supposedly is cheaper but feels about the same given many of us choose to maintain an increasing library of decks across and within formats.

Viewers aren’t rejecting superheroes.

They’re rejecting quantity over quality.

“The Marvels” is the rare MCU misfire that bombed on opening weekend. Even in pandemic times, “Black Widow” ($80 million while also streaming on Disney+), “Shang-Chi” ($75 million) and “Eternals” ($71 million) landed far better starts. https://t.co/u9uSLEwl64

@SaffronOlive Agreed. Embracing errata and corrective reprints (as already practiced with creature type) would also eliminate the power gaps spawned by bans.

[Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett]

I’m no millionaire studio exec, but if I saw a $15M horror movie with so so reviews make $30M opening weekend and a $300M tentpole with so so reviews make $60M opening weekend, I’d strongly reconsider my “everything must be $300M and based on nostalgia” business model.

Dial of Destiny was totally fun.

I’d rank it in the top three Lucasfilm projects in the Disney era.

Margot Robbie says not so fast to #Barbie sequels: “It could go a million different directions from this point. But I think you fall into a bit of a trap if you try and set up a first movie whilst also planning for sequels." https://t.co/osywB7LPyW

Interesting.

[Aztec Empire @AztecEmpire1520]

The upcoming video game “Ecumene Aztec” depicts Tenochtitlan as a colorless and primitive place. The “Eternals” movie, and TV show “Hernan,” are recent examples of perpetuating that terrible media myth. Here’s a comparison of that TV series’ Tenochtitlan with our webcomic series.

With so much of the economy tied up in film and tv production, I’m surprised there isn’t more pressure from those downstream on writers and studios to come to an agreement or even avoid such strikes altogether.

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

Workers in Los Angeles whose jobs directly depend on filming have been feeling the impact of the strike for months: https://t.co/fPWbKtacSQ
