CR: On Earth As It Is Beneath
@Darren_Mooney It helped that Barbie and Oppenheimer were so diametrically opposed in vibes and presentation that the unique pairing of the two was the novelty. Dune 3 and Doomsday are both big sci-fi genre blockbusters with big casts, VFX, and long awaited adaptation of stories and characters
@GunnerDobbins Psychologically, Kang is literally the “The Last Man” as articulated by Francis Fukuyama. He is from a utopian future and feels bored and restless because of it. Thus, he has to travel all over history to roleplay and feel a sense of struggle and triumph.
@JAR0DC0RE Waldron was the head writer of one of the most critically acclaimed projects in Loki and had middling reviews for MoM that still was better reception that a lot of other MCU films. Also, Feige has supported the likes of Schaffer, DDC, and Coogler in the MCU!
@lydiakauppi I feel like you intentionally went past whether said voters would accept social progressivism AND economic progressivism. It’s most likely the case that white working class voters would prefer a mix of economic progressivism and social conservatism (Dan Osborn, Manchin)
I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.
@dick_genital David Corenswet is born in 1993 and Robert Pattinson is born in 1986. Both are literally millennial actors. Same with their respective characters who would all be born before 1996 when Zoomers are first born.
@Koutchboom@codyclarke I think the rise of documentaries is commensurate with the advent of social media essentially having everyone be their own documentarians which follows from the societal logic of reality television and how mundanity and interpersonal conflict can be entertainment/spectacle.
@Heisendrip@unacronyms@FilmUpdates It was literally nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars. Regardless of a loose of an adaption it is, it is still not an original screenplay based on it being preexisting material.
@Heisendrip@unacronyms@FilmUpdates Oppenheimer doesn’t count as an original film because it’s an adaptation of a book about Oppenheimer that’s called American Prometheus
@BleacherReport Of these teams, I think the only serious contenders are the Knicks, TWolves, Nuggets, Mavs, and Spurs. In terms of overall fit, he would really do well in Knicks, Nuggets, and Mavs.

@kr1shnaaustin I feel like you’re misreading what Gunn debunked. All that he debunked was they were looking for an actor for Batman at the time of the poster. Gunn had never pinned down the age range for DCU Batman and likely is still in flux
