@SDCCooper I agree that you just have to go with it for Ghibli films in general. Pom Poko is one of the biggest examples of that haha. I enjoy that they always have some messaging in them, delivered in some crazy, wonderful way 😅

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I reckon you'll love Howl's Moving Castle, and Nausicaa, and Spirited Away

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@whatnotben @MartinSLewis There's another thing?! Minefield haha

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I still watch VFX artists react and stunt people react. Never really watched any of the other stuff they do, but yea not a good look. Guess they are creating content based on trends though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I've got a lot more time these days for stuff that doesn't take itself too seriously or is just a simple 90-100 minutes of action/basic narrative haha

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper That's fair, just wondered if you found it went one way or the other. I've definitely felt differently at times rewatching something that I used to enjoy

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper Do you think there are common themes or reasons that you feel differently about stuff and therefore revisit the original review?

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper @whatnotben Yea, it's rage quit worthy. Or laughable really. Such a shame, I always thought a live action flashpoint would be the get out of jail card for the DCEU. Could have just stuck to the source and it would be great! Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne Batman maybe? 😏

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@whatnotben 😭. Who thought this was a good idea?!

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@whatnotben There's so much wrong with this scene. Not least of all the colouring is so off, looks like bad cosplay. Doesn't make me want to watch it 😅 sheesh

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper Such a shame

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I've yet to see it, but wow this is damning!

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@IGN @SDCCooper , saw this and thought about your tweet the other day. I've yet to see JW4, but interesting that you were drawing comparisons with Hex

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@whatnotben What a message to receive. Does that mean you'll hold me after now?

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper It's a shame that most studios seem to ignore standalone films/stories. I get the money aspect, but things like marvel, star wars, DC etc don't have to have post credit scenes a minor references to create well told narratives.

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper @whatnotben Would be a nice touch to explain why no one else really shows up to help, except for supes arriving from space and changing everything. I bet this image is as much context as we'll get 😅

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I think some films, or almost entire franchises, tread a very fine line of becoming almost entirely Easter eggs or nostalgia. I love it, but only where it's subtle or has a direct impact on the story. It can be irritating if it's just for the sake of it!

[Tom Cassidy @tomedcass]

@SDCCooper I always felt like flashpoint was the DCEUs ace in the sleeve, but I'm really not sure about this take on it. Doesn't need double Barry! I really hope they use Keaton for what I hope they do!
