Such a cynic. But yeah, not a lot of standouts, so I can't say it was a great year by any means. I almost wanted to add Indy 5, which tells you that a Disney movie being on my top movies of the year list means that all hell has broken loose, and I wont allow that.

I totally forgot about Twisted Metal, even though it's been making headlines recently for its season 2 renewal (even though we already knew it was getting renewed). A generally fun show.

So Dylan's New Nightmare was bad, huh? I guess it doesn't surprise me that a fan-film sucks. I just don't know why they always tend to suck. Doesn't any fan know how to make a good movie?

I'll disagree with Scream 6 being bad and Spider-Verse being great (that inconclusive movie really pisses me off). And Ant-Man 3 definitely sucked.

So Beau is Afraid was good? Hadn't heard anything about it, and my interest was slightly there, but I sure as hell wasn't going to sit in a movie theater for 4 hours! I wouldn't even do that for Scorsese!

I'll get around to Beau when it hits streaming. I hope it doesn't feel as derivative as his previous movie Midsommar (derivative of Hereditary). I can accept Scream 6 as meh, because while I personally liked it, I don't care for the killer reveals, as that twist was derivative of part 2's twist. It's hard to predict the killer when none of these characters are who they say they are (outside of the ghostface persona). It's pretty sad that the Sony Marvel movies are becoming more promising than the main MCU...

At least we can agree that Evil Dead Rise was shit! Most people seem to agree that Guardians 3 was the best Marvel in a while. I can agree, althrough I thought it was just okay. I can't be bothered with most of their stuff anymore, but for some dumbass reason, my stupid self is still holding out hope that Echo will be decent.

All this bitching about the CGI, which actually did not bother me AT ALL. I'm used to any superhero movie having bogus CGI scenes, and nothing about it seemed particularly worse to me than any other superhero flick. Besides, the director tries to justify it as a stylistic choice.

I mean... 10 minutes? I goddamn guarantee we've all watched things infinitely worse than the first 10 minutes of The Flash. I think this movie has some kind of curse on it where everyone wants to jump on the hate bandwagon. Before the Ezra controversy, early reactions compared it to The Dark Knight quality, and Stephen King gave it a glowing review. Now, it's the cool thing to do to hate on movie bold enough to bring back the greatest Bruce Wayne ever: George Clooney.

Yeah, shilling for sure, but people still respect Stephen King's opinion on stuff. I don't, but enough people do for it to make headlines. Blue Beetle and Shazam 2 are definitely worse movies. Generic and forgettable.

The Flash movie is based on the Flashpoint Paradox comic from about 12 years ago, before multiverse stuff was all the rage. They did an animated version back then, so the movie had to change stuff up a bit, but the concept is the same. Time travel is one of his superpowers.

The multiverse has endless potential, but it hasn't been wowing me as much as I wish it could. Of course, South Park's recent special about the Panderverse was fucking amazing. A trash epic.

I feel like RDJ will definitely return at some point. My reasoning is basically the headlines about how he reaffirms that he will not return to the role. Disney/Marvel is infamous for intentionally leaking major spoilers to gauge audience response, and the only thing that might restore fan interest are those legacy characters. I am still interested in Deadpool 3 for this reason. Hugh Jackman said he was done being wolverine, then he got bored and they offered him a lot of money.

Nic Cage was supposed to do a Superman movie a while ago, but it fell through. This was his chance, yet even he felt underwhelmed by his appearance.
