@PanthersPens62 some drama has just been brought to my attention

Well, my point is that I think the reason for the decline in writing in many cases is because they're neglecting it to focus on trying to be diverse/inclusive and to hook viewers in by trying to be socially relevant rather than actually focusing on making captivating storylines and characters. I don't think it's a coincidence that what's widely considered to be Marvel's best recent project, GOTG3 doesn't really have any of that.
🤣😂

1) he points out GOTG 3 was a good movie which nobody but Sega will argue about. Guess that Gunn guy is pretty decent. Pog.

2) other than that the Marvel movies WERE not the best but were still watchable. L&T sucked and it wasn't because of some woke agenda perpetuated by the Hollywood elite lol

Diversity isn't what's killing Marvel, bad ideas and writing is. (I disagree with the idea that writing has taken a back seat to diversity because wouldn't a more varied cast allow for more varied writing?)

Phase 1 felt real and grounded. After that, everything started becoming more over the top and ridiculous, the universe was constantly expanding, until you eventually stop caring because what originally hooked you isn't a thing anymore.

I maintain that GotG was an inflection point. It was their best movie up to that point, and they learned all of the wrong lessons from it.

They got us to care about characters that the majority of audiences didn't know about, yet their takeaway was more popular music and more tonally-inconsistent comedy.

Age of Ultron and Civil War had 1/10th of the hype as the first Avengers, while also averaging about 200m less in lifetime gross.

Can't explain that.

then ofc when the minorities get their stories told and asian movies come out it's suddenly "too woke"

f***ing pissing me off

why do people have such a concern about the woke boogeyman. like you know me i will complain about woke sometimes (football team name was stolen from us because of wokeness) but hollywood woke isn't a problem.

just like people getting angry over companiges going LGBT for a month. why do you care?

"THEY'RE WEARING THE RAINBOW IN JUNE! STOP!"

Why?

nobody's lurking this f***ing thread

except maybe Sega
You keep saying that but the past few days have seen a few different people posting in here. We need to grow the amount of people posting here.

Meanwhile, in the strike thread, the person currently triggered I recognize as a big fan of Donald S. Cherry........just sayin'!! :laugh:

Costco organic brocolli puts all the brocolli inside a bag inside a bag. Why would you do that.

Now it's just more waste for me to recycle.

Just put all the brocolli in one bag.
