In general the Marvel movies are in a “post-Guardians” phase where they’re all funny and colorful and cash in on goofiness. As with all things it will probably get old eventually, but for now I honestly enjoy each of them. Like I’ll never watch them twice, but so what?
glad to see the girl from Bioshock Infinite getting work
Marvel Watching Update:
Just saw Thor Ragnorok, i can’t believe they paid this much money for somebody’s D n D campaign, but hell, i liked it. i like Taika Waititi’s style of jokes & always liked Thor stuff & i like the new characters and i can’t get over how over the top “heavy metal” the whole thing feels, though the entire score should’ve just been wall to wall metal imo.
Also, on the same day, i watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2, man that thing is fuckin’ shlocky as hell but really seems to know it. not as good as the first, but also not bad.
Is Alita entirely cg like a Jessica Rabbit superimposition because that’d be actually sort of smart

Yeah this feels like one of those instances where uncanny valley strangeness might work in a film’s favour, posthuman cyborgs you can’t fully process as existing.
I dig her disconcerting huge eyes but what happened to her octopus pout and why isn’t she decked out like a goth?!
That’s rather more uncannying aye
Also the entire locale doesn’t look scummy enough really
Robert Rodriguez. Hmmm. Hmmmmmm.
It looks like shit

The solution to the uncanny valley is definitely not to deliberately make your cgi humans as disturbing and grotesque as possible, I thought we learned this from The Polar Express
good lord i heard about this shit almost 20 years ago is this the half life 3 of movies

I had no idea this Disney eating up Fox Entertainment stuff was happening.
I kind of wish I kept up with…anything, so that I could speculate baselessly about what this means for…anything.
maybe after whatever ‘concludes’ the ‘current marvel universe’ after Infinity War part 2, they kill off all the avenging people and make it all mutants all the time

Did you post this cause it’s hilarious you can get corporate writing gigs by tweeting or because Roxane Gay is a notable person (who I am not familiar with)
