Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny - Using time travel to literally retcon the series

It's no fucking wonder most people would rather listen to music and watch TV from Japan and Korea, while they drink their beer from Mexico. Corporate America is so far divorced from the reality of everyday Americans that they literally find more enjoyment from foreign shit then they do shit that is ostensibly made "for" them.

I wonder how Chinese Tomb Raider is?

Chris Cuckmann likes it fairly well, but again kinda faint praise from him which isn't a good sign.

I remember when Cuckmann had a sperg meltdown over Red Letter Media and also how Star Wars is currently hated upon. He is a prime consoomer and (as someone already said) has a very punchable face.

This is also why that shitty godawful 2018 Tomb Raider movie was also very popular in China. Tomb Raider had a lot more supernatural shit, but the 2018 movie never had any, so I'm not surprised if this Chinese one is the same. I mean, thy already cast a flat-chested woman as well.

I wish they had more of an Amy Wong-like character to play Lara.

Oh I've seen that movie. It wasn't too bad, and had a fair bit of unusual/supernatural stuff in it involving an Emperor who wanted to achieve immortality through the venom (or something similar) of these giant spiders, only they got out of control and killed everyone.

So it's actually better than 2018 Tomb Raider where its dumbass motive was a deadly virus outbreak?

I enjoyed it/remember it more than 2018 Tomb Raider so would say so yes. Has more hallmarks of booby trapped tombs, puzzle solving, bad guy getting gruesomely killed and action than that one did. It's in b-movie territory but does well with what it has, kind of like the early Mummy movies.

Well shit, even The Asylum's mockbuster Tomb Invader is still way more enjoyable and more memorable than 2018 Tomb Raider.

I feel like this should be crossposted in the official Tomb Raider Grieving Thread (and still people have forgotten about it).

Apparently Indy doesn't die at the end but there absolutely was a rewrite done via reshoots to keep him alive. They very much still want the femoid to take over for him and strongly hint that she is off to go on new adventures all her own.

If it weren't for the dumbass reshoots, then Indy would've been dead, yet they'll still have a shitty wahman power protagonist to take over. So even without the reshoots, nothing has changed.

Was anything preventing her from going on adventures of her own except her crippling anxiety and fibromyalgia?

Will they though? I thought she got hired as the showrunner of that Tomb Raider series for Amazon?

She's apparently the worst part of the film because when the woke mind virus algoyrithm wants to make a female version of a charismatic male character they become insufferably arrogant know it alls and and unlikeable.

At best Kathy will make an animated show of the character.

As for Tomb Raider, did the big brains at Amazon literally go, "she's a writer, she's in an Indiana Jones film... so she's perfect to write Tomb Raider!"?

I liked Fleabag but that definitely doesn't make you qualified for an action/adventure series. Killing Eve was an adaptation and it's good reputation lay solely on the first few episodes.

She did a pass on female dialogue on a misguided James Bond film. Where for some reason she gets the credit for anything good, regardless of any knowledge of what she did or didn't write. Where she even embarrassing acknowledges how little she contributed to the film when the press gives her credit.

I hope and pray the writers strike can finally cancel that shitty Amazon Tomb Raider series before it even gets made.

China has been making knock-offs forever. They recently tried to make their own Top Gun: Maverick, but the CGI was so poor and production was so bad, they cancelled it. They had too many limitations and could not replicate the things that made Maverick so successful.

Cuckmann has always been a sperg. I initially likes his content, but it became clear afterwards that he's fragile. He posted a superhero spoof script one time online that even he said was crap, but when everyone else pointed out how crap it was, he had a problem with that and made a whole video on it.
