Oh, so Disney will spare all the homophobes, but they'll inflict the Eternals on their own country?

What bastards.

Cross-posting from the Eternals thread.

I haven’t seen the movie, but doesn’t it also show the city of Mecca during the montage of the Eternals throughout history?

I could see these countries objecting to the implication that the Eternals were responsible for the founding of Islam, in addition to the gay kiss.

I like that the writer of that article contrasted the MCU with Seinfeld, because that was something that had come to my mind before. Jerry Seinfeld declined NBC's offer of $5 million an episode for a tenth season (over three times higher than any TV offer before!) because he felt it was better to end strong than to peter out. The result is that Seinfeld remains a timeless sitcom that still brings consistent laughs no matter what episode you watch.

As I mentioned earlier, a good comparison to the MCU's current state is The Simpsons, currently on its 33rd season with season 34 already greenlit. Most everyone agrees that the show's quality declined somewhere around season 8; some place it earlier, some later, but generally it's in that region that it starts to get noticeable. Rather than call it quits and go out strong, they kept going on and on, season after season. The talent that drove its wild success left for greener pastures, and the show slid into mediocrity. Nowadays, if you catch an episode at random, you're overwhelmingly more likely to watch a Zombie Simpsons episode than a classic, to the point that many younger people who didn't grow up with it don't really get why it was all that groundbreaking in the first place.

I feel you could do the same for the MCU, where you could make arguments for multiple points where the quality began to slide (Joss Whedon's quippy Avengers becoming the template for every character moving forward; Black Panther/Captain Marvel for the beginnings of woke politics; Endgame for laying the foundations for the time travel multiverse bullshit that's plaguing the series now). Regardless of when you feel the decline began, Endgame was a good place for Disney to end it, with a fitting title and all. Consoomers would cry about not getting their Marvel fix, but Disney could have gone out on top with the biggest film series of all time. Instead, we're beginning the descent into mediocrity (well, more so than usual), with movies that are met with more of a "well that was fine, I guess" than a "best movie EVAR, I can't wait for next product!" And over time, that tarnishes the opinions of the series as a whole.

In other words, cheerlead all you want, Bob. You can't polish this turd (heh, E-turd-nals).

The Simpsons comparison is funny because Bob is an open stan for current Simpsons and still insists the show is good and funny.

I think Bob has a real problem with letting go and moving on.

I mean, he is pissed that he can't be immortal...

I doubt Bob would ever match to be equal to a Slaan Mage Priest. After all, the Slaan are incredinly smart and know of the forces that drive the world as well as having a tremendous insight on magic and governance. But i think Bob might fit in the last generation of Slaan. The ones that think that to save the world it's better if you do nothing until you figure out the grand plan of the Old Ones.

Oh absolutely, especially because Afterlife was made to appease the evil bros who didn't like girl busters. And if the wrong people like something, that thing deserves to fail regardless of its merits.

The amount of edits required probably made the film incoherent. I doubt the company that gave a thumbs up to concentration camp authorities is thinking in an upright, moral light.

Does Bob even actually watch RLM?

I don't know how he could and still have a take about Mike that's so off-base.

They took a dig at Boebert (among other critics) on Plinkett's Force Awakens review.

Romney never said anything about Batman to the best of my recollection. Bob is angry over a group of people he assumes are Republicans liking the franchise and mocking his precious MCU, to the extent that he's retroactively decided he hates more serious Batman movies.
Basically Bob decided sometime after Dark Knight that anyone who likes a more serious aesthetic for their comic book movies are this guy:

He started hating it just a couple of weeks after it came out, because the "same people who made Passion of the Christ a success" liked the movie, he did wrote a blog about it back then, but i can't find the post, i did archive it and posted it a while ago.

He really can't stand being on the same boat as the people he hates.

Angel gives The Eternals 9/10.


And in the end...




Not even people who have seen The Eternals know what Bobby was talking about the flying headstone scene:



Cope.



Unfortunately, Cats (2019) failed to kill the musical-as-film market.


For whatever reason Bobby retweeted a 2-year-old tweet by himself

So the girl won't have died had she learned about race?

More woke posturing involving dead children, this time against Bobby's happy place (ABC news article)

In the Jaslyn Adams case, both the dead and the suspected murderer were colored. Adam Toledo was carrying a gun that he might use on the police officer.

Note how spineless Bobby sounds. If Trump didn't put his name on the plan he'd be glad the forest be razed to make way for theme parks.





Bimbo Politics continues to implore people to listen to him:

I’m surprised that Bob would retweet that second one since it praises Zack Snyder.

"If they gonna do..." I absolutely hate when pasty ass white leftists try to use black slang or AAVE. They are the furthest thing from "cool people" to begin with and it always comes off super awkward. The worst example of this is the use of "this ain't it" by them.

There was a time that tentpole blockbuster films could be made for under $100 million dollars, even when adjusted for inflation.

Hell, two of my favorite films from 2019, Joker and Ford v Ferrari, had sub-$100 million budgets. I guess they're too focused on dazzling audiences with flashy spectacle rather than well-crafted film making or storytelling. MovieBob of course is the perfect audience for that.

After Endgame, the smart thing to do would've been let the MCU take a break from theatrical releases for awhile. This would've given the producers/writers some time to carefully craft out the next long-term story arc and series of films, while giving the consoomers a break so that their appetite for capeshit could slowly build back up. When the next phase of MCU films and thus next long-term multifilm story arc gets announced, people would go wild and be genuinely excited to go back to the theaters and say "shut up and take my money!" Lucasfilm at one time understood this, which is why there had always been a long break between theatrical Star Wars releases.

It would make sense on a creative logic, but unfortunately, Disney has to please their shareholders, so they have to keep pumping them out in order to make money for them.

 

[Quixotic Man]

Telling someone if you would recommend a movie or not is binary. Thats what Rotten Tomatoes does, let you know what percentage of critics recommend a movie or not.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

I am going to quote something from Bob I overlooked earlier:



That is one fucking sentence. 157 words, 8 bolded words, 4 parenthesis asides, 2 ellipsis, 1 punctuation mark.

Its copy pasted from the review script, so apparently Bob writes his scripts as giant run on sentences.

Leftie Twitter also noticed this:

Despite what Robert suggests here, you can be elected to office from jail/prison. Even the President can be, Eugene Debs tried it in 1920 and got nearly a million votes.

I just don't understand why studios insist on their movies having such massively inflated budgets. Do they even realize that having a smaller one would actually increase their profits, since the movies wouldn't have to make as much money to be profitable. Like, Joker made over $1 billion on a $90 million dollar budget, which is an insane amount of profit that it wouldn't have obtained if its budget were bigger. And on that note, The Batman's budget is only around $100 million from what I've heard, so I definitely think that Warner Brothers realizes on some level that they need to be smarter about financing their movies.

 

[Flexo]

Obviously, Moviebob has forgotten the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If Bob sees attacking the families of people he loathes as an acceptable tactic, then his family qualifies as fair game for collateral damage at a bare minimum.

Obvious statement is obvious.

I have questions:

Did Bob even watch the video? Did Bob not notice that this is a family of twelve? Did Bob not see this family buying cereal? Did Bob even take note that that this family was actually making their own meals instead of that 3,500-calorie "small McDonald's meal"? Could it have occurred to Bob that this family uses milk as an ingredient in baked goods? Does Bob ever research pricing data around the nation*? And why the ever loving FUCK is it a bad thing for cow's milk to cost as little as $2.00 per gallon?

Stupid Moviebob is REALLY FUCKING STUPID!

*Living in SoCal, a store-brand gallon of milk at Wal-Mart used to go for about $2.25 within the past two years; the same product now costs about $2.75.

There was a period of time under Trump you could get milk in my area for under a dollar.

Blobert is an exceptional individual and an asshole, but he didn't defend fucking Child Porn unlike Vaush!

Wait, worse than cuties?

It's not nostalgia. Bob loved the Nolan Batman movies up through the Dark Knight. Just glance at the first 30 seconds of his review of it:

All of 4 years later he was blasting the entire trilogy as "ruining Batman" and making exceptional analogies that the Romney fanbase was akin to the Dark Knight Rises fanbase in his utterly autistic characterization of the 2012 election as "Marvel vs. DC".
I don't have any proof, but I contend that the tendency of some internet DC fanboys to call Marvel movies "cartoony" while praising Nolan's movies offended him to his childish consoomer core, so they're now the outgroup and everything, everything they like is now bad/verboten, even if Bob previously enjoyed it.

No like I've said in the long long ago on these pages, some conservative film reviewers back in the day LOVED the Nolan batman films. Bob has grown to hate them because of it.

Fuck... I don't know if that still is more or less pathetic than the "I don't like change/blood scary" thing I tinfoiled over. I thought there might have been more reasons given his tendency to highlight and talk about Adam West, but nope. Just angy over one republican saying "I like this ultra popular batman movie".

You should really go through the archives sometime and see how much Bob and John Nolte would get into dustups.

The CGI is still expensive. Marvel for whatever reason wants to do absolutely everything in CGI, look at Black Panther where rather than do regular stunts for hand-to-hand fights in front of a blue screen they did shitty PS2 level CGI for the entire frame. Eternals, at least from the trailers, looks like a lot of this to me so it costing $200 million was not surprising and that's probably before the marketing push which was at least another $50-100 million.

Just look at the Snyder cut which cost $75 million and almost that entire cost was the new CGI, Snyder and the producers took nothing, the actors who returned all took minimum union pay, JunkieXL gave his soundtrack for free and only charged labor, they had everything filmed already but the couple new scenes which were done on minimum size sets with minimum crews, etc. (Which means in the end WB spent nearly $400 million on the two Justice League's, $200 million for Snyder's original filming, another $75+ million on the Whedon redo, probably $100 million on marketing, etc. that's why there's no Justice League 2 coming any time soon even though they seem to be keeping everything else (Flash, WW, Aquaman) in production.)

IIRC, Venom had a hard budget initially (that got lifted for reshoots) so that's why it barely went over $100 million, it was shot closer to stuff like Joker/The Batman except for that whole part where the title character was CGI'd in.
