@ganymede I think this is why my wife wants to see it, yes. I think the only reason it'd be better for her is is Idris Elba showed up too.
@arkandel
James Wan has really come along as a director, I'm not surprised there's great reviews for the film. I suspect though that it's going to be like other DC films either high praise on critics side or audience side and low praise on the other.
I think they were already short changing the film when they lowered its box office estimates by, I think?, about 20 million for its opening weekend.
@wretched ngl, I would fork over 10 bucks to watch Jason Momoa sit shirtless in a lawn chair and just shoot the shit with someone off-screen for two hours.
The Avengers: Endgame trailer is out.
Hyped as fuck.
I won't even pretend to use spoiler tags for a trailer but we need to talk about this, you guys.

It was okay?
Like.
It didn't really hype me, honestly. Captain Marvel was way more hype-worthy, for me.

@coin You are dead inside.
Ronin-eye is here!
Ant-man is out of the quantum realm!
And the best line I read in Reddit:
"RIP Cap's beard!"
"Why, did the snap kill Shanon?"

Literally the only thing that was a surprise in all of that was Cap's beard being missing, and her name is Sharon. Gawd.

Can someone snap @coin to oblivion?
Brightburn looks like it could be interesting.
@zombiegenesis Fuck yes, it does indeed. This is right up my super hero horror alley.
@zombiegenesis I will second that FUCK YEAH!!
@zombiegenesis Agreed.
Pro-tip: The Wikipedia entry contains a non-essential but still pretty heavy spoiler right out in the open.
But, with the new 'Trinity Continuum' rules also released to backers on PDF over the weekend, I'm in the mood for some Abberant
I am so, so, sooooo damn excited for Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse.
And I don't even like Spider-man.

Looks like somebody decided to do Irredeemable without the kid growing up, lol. I wonder if Mark Waid got acknowledgements and credit?
@runescryer Not to derail the thread, but I'd love some Aberrant. Been tempted to do something Aberrant/Necessary Evil related using Savage Worlds and their Super Powers Companion.
I'm not going to lie, but the trailer for Glass is interesting.
I know a lot of people hated Unbreakable, but mixing the characters with James McAvoy's villain in Split was a bright idea.

@ganymede
It still confuses me why people did not like Unbreakable. I thought it was a fairly good movie with an interesting premise.
