Bob must be exceptionally drunk today, his posts are even more contradictory than usual. A lot of this is going against his usual opinions, but some of them have him saying the exact opposite thing a sentence later.
Speaking of said sociopathic cunt, suddenly box office matters; a movie is good because it didn't flop.
In addition to box office mattering because it's something he likes doing well, Bob also implies (like Joel Schumacher in the 90s) that because they're "comic" books, they're supposed to be funny, so it's okay that they hire comedy writers to keep spamming the MCU's patented Whedonesque snark...only to
immediately go back on this and show how Scarlet Witch has always been a psycho cunt that just goes around murdering people. Yep, real barrel of laughs there.
"Corporate media is THE VATICAN"
As I mentioned before, Feige has to imply that the MCU is going to go on forever because it's his job. Bob continues to simp for Feige because it's the only way he has a shred of relevance, but then he goes on a weird tangent where he implies that America will die but Disney is eternal, and he offers as evidence...the fact that Disney made two movies based on a theme park ride that bombed? Of course there aren't negative repercussions, it's a fucking dark ride, you hop on it once for ten minutes and then you're done.
I like how he tries to deflect criticism of his Disney shill status by implying he doesn't approve of eternal Disney consumption. You're fooling no one, Bob.
Bobby explains what a "soft reboot" is -- and he resents needing to do so.
Soft reboots are just another way for Hollywood to avoid coming up with anything new. They take the same old shit, dress it up with new (often "diverse") characters, and then promptly shit all over the legacy content. The only soft reboot that I think actually worked was Blade Runner 2049, mostly because Villeneuve (Bob's nemesis that isn't Nolan) actually cared about the material and didn't shit on Deckard as a character. Sure, he was living out his days as a hermit in the ruins of Las Vegas, but there were good reasons for that that followed on logically from the end of the original Blade Runner, and he got a happy ending.
What Bob's describing isn't a soft reboot, it's a retcon. It's making changes willy nilly because you decided to do something entirely different, so now you have to go back and say that such-and-such actually happened this way. And even if it were a soft reboot, the MCU is barely 15 years old, whereas most soft reboots usually tackle material from 30-40 years ago. The fact that they feel the need to hit the reset button is a sign that they've already run out of ideas, and that's not a good place to be.
I can't even parse this one. Bob says that general audiences don't actually view older MCU movies as required homework to watch new movies, then implies that no, that actually is why the shitty movies made money. Which is it, Bob? Nobody would be watching the lackluster entries if they didn't feel they had to, yet you say that nobody actually had that mindset. I don't get it.
Don't ask me what this scene is about or what he says. I've a long backlog and I didn't watch it, and I'd rather listen to oldies radio.
Bob has gone on the record as saying that they don't have to keep anything from the material they're adapting, yet he praises this cringeworthy "YOU NEED TO DO BETTER, SENATOR" scene for sticking to the tone of the comics. Again, which is it, Bob?
Bobby maintains that Kevin Feige has a plan -- which unfortunately was disrupted by covid and the death of someone.
I like how he raised the obvious question "Well, that plague is still happening, what's different?" without answering it. Oh BTW why were WGA allowed to gather with The Plague still happening? Shouldn't they observe social distance?
I'm honestly just getting tired of pointing out the contradictions, so I'll just repeat myself here: the coof's been over for years, Bob, you can't keep using that excuse. Also, they legitimately could have just recast Black Panther, nothing was actually stopping them. Internet weirdos that made such a big deal out of Chadwick Boseman might have gotten mad, but as Bob has said frequently, the opinions of internet weirdos don't matter. They still would've gone to see it anyway.
And yes, we will soon witness another "potential pop-culture turning point".
Of course Bobby's gonna consoom this, he's
still buttmad that the live action movie lost to The Expendables a decade ago. Imagine actually caring about Scott Pilgrim in the year of our Lord 2023.
Martin Scorsese vs Taylor Swift. There really is no competition is there?
Not always, Brother Alpha. You tend to notice this the most if you're watching a quieter movie and there's a bombastic blockbuster in the next theater over, you may hear some muffled bass noises that can be a little distracting.
Either way, guy's just making a joke about the bizarre, bordering on religious, fixation that Swifties have on a mediocre pop star. No need to start psychoanalyzing, Bobbo.
These scenes are an insult to Dalí; I would prefer something as magnificently chaotic as
Tuna Fishing. And what are the Van Gogh swirls doing there?
Not quite surreal enough to imitate Dali, I would say, but it's not a bad attempt. The more salient point is that the guy didn't need to track down an artist that could feasibly imitate Dali's style, do a lot of back-and-forth communication, and pay actual money for what's effectively a shitpost. And most of that time was probably spent just waiting for the computer to render images, so he was probably doing literally anything else in the meantime. The alternative is to spend literally years training your artistic skills until you can do it yourself, but not everyone has that kind of time.
The power of AI art is to unleash people's creativity and enable them to get their ideas out there, especially bizarre ones that you might not be able to find anyone to make for you. It doesn't always look great, yeah, but it's improving all the time. Bob continues to reflexively dunk on it because it's a sign that he's easier to replace than the blue collar workers he despises, especially since he's not even an artist, he's a
critic.
You can start by NOT boardcasting every single brain fart, but we all know you can't help yourselves.
And finally, one last piece of hypocrisy, where Bob admits that the world was better when you didn't know everyone's thoughts all the time, but can't help but spew his own in every waking hour. The lack of self-awareness is incredible.
