One thing I loved about Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the colour scheme - in most of her scenes, she wears the secondary colour green like the other Spider-Man villains, but by the end of the movie, the primary yellow becomes more dominant.

This is so dorktastic. I can't NOT love this. If you don't like this bit, if it's too corny for you, you can't stand it, then...pft. You and I just don't have anything in common. I don't know what else to say about that.

We need a cure for evil, and it can't come fast enough.

If there's one thing that gives me solace about Avengers: Doomsday, it's that there's no way in hell Robert Downey Jr will be outclassed by THIS version of Doctor Doom.

I do plan to see Avengers: Endgame Encore this Saturday, so I'm taking any leaks with a grain of salt. BUUUT, a potential spoiler did make me have this reaction and gave me a modicum of hope for the future of the MCU. I will not provide context.

Marvel Studios is not going to put the old stuff out of print, they're just not continuing it after Secret Wars because they don't think it's enough to just put the actors from the early X-Men films in yellow spandex. A parent-child relationship is a two-way street.

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Here's a thought - maybe the child doesn't WANT to keep FoX-Men on life support or rehabilitate Howard the Little Person in a Duck Suit. Maybe the child made Deadpool & Wolverine under protest because their attempts to do something genuine from their heart was taken for granted by the parent.

God dammit, even Damon Lindelof has idiots shilling him, even shifting responsibility to others. I oughta put up a list of writers and directors whom you're not allowed to shill in my presence. Or at the very least, don't shill them while you're bitching about Joss Whedon as the worst thing ever.

Also, as a reminder - they cast THIS GUY as Professor X. Really think about it - a mutant supremacy extremist played by a black dude opposing an advocate for peace played by a white guy? It wouldn't be a good look, is what I'm saying.

Like, Giancarlo Esposito apparently wants to play Magneto and I'm like "...dude, they already DEALT you a hand, and they haven't ruled you out for future appearances". Yeah, Sidewinder ain't Thanos, but compared to Guy Pearce in Iron Man 3, you got it good.

One common response when I point out that certain actors in the MCU want a casting do-over because the roles they got didn't have as much meat as they were hoping for involves Gemma Chan. Except she played a disposable mook in Captain Marvel, not the main character.

Here's an excerpt from an interview Zack Snyder did with Entertainment Weekly to promote Watchmen. You know, far be it from me to psychoanalyse the director of Sucker Punch, but this reads like he was raised using the "Beatnik Flanders" method of child-rearing. Which would explain A LOT.

Dude, you already did The Dark Knight Returns kind of. It was an inept mashup with the Death of Superman, but you already did it. You HAD your chance. You've used up all your mulligans on so-called director's cuts that are less Blade Runner: The Final Cut and more Highlander 2: The Renegade Cut.

Friendly reminder - Zack Snyder STILL wants to make The Fountainhead. And you know what? I say let him do it. At least he'd go out on an actual passion project were it to fail.

You know what, Zack? You're a fucking joke. No wonder WB didn't keep you. Or Netflix, and they'll take fucking anyone. I mean, you are a ridiculous, immature, half-wit moron.

Well, if you're so advanced, how come the studios you hitched your wagon didn't return your calls when it came to your latest "masterpiece"?

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
You know, James Gunn's got it right, man. He has no delusions about what he does. You like to make yourself seem so much more important than the people that buy a ticket to see superheroes fight bad guys, or god forbid, each other. You look down on them as if you're so advanced.

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
You're so obsessed with making your work seem so much more epic, so much more important than it really is. Christ, your last movie was a direct-to-Netflix Star Wars knockoff, Zack! And a bad direct-to-Nettlix Star Wars knockoff, I might add!

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Jesus, you overcompensate for directing what's basically schlocky genre movies. Your first movie was a remake of Dawn of the Dead. Anybody with half an ounce of creativity can direct a zombie movie!

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to direct Man of Steel just because Watchmen and Sucker Punch flopped. You took the job of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like the DC Extended Universe would fall apart it Zack Snyder wasn't here.

Who ran with the half-assed script of BvS? Who agreed to put out a compromised theatrical cut instead of sticking to your guns on your original vision? Who walked off the production of Justice League the instant a family tragedy happened instead of grieving when you had time?

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Dude, that was literally your ASSIGNMENT. Your ACTUAL passion projects underperformed at the box office, so you took up the first work-for-hire job offered to you by WB so you could maintain a good enough relationship with them to pursue an adaptation of The Fountainhead."

I dunno if it'd be a straight remake, but it would have more or less the same basic premise (undead cops policing supernatural activity in Boston), except the undead cops would be witches. Fairuza Balk as old-and-busted alongside Maya Hawke as new hotness.

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Well, you did make that one video where you called him out for making Tenet a theatrical release during the lockdowns, but it appears to be lost media. Fortunately, TV Tropes preserved an excerpt of it.

Another thing you can indict FoX-Men 3 for, besides the more obvious and substantive stuff? That ugly de-aging effect that nevertheless kickstarted this whole trend of using deepfakes for old or dead people. Yecch.

She wants to "save" DC movies...by rehiring the man who drove it off the rails in the first place?

If I repeatedly pick on Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, it's only because they were responsible for the following boneheaded decisions when they owned the studio formerly known as 20th Century Fox. Hating on Disney is cringy and performative. Fight the real enemy.

And, here's one comment I received in response. Well, I don't know about you, but if you ask me, every word of what he just said is bullcrap.

No, no, please, I'd love to hear more about why the studio formerly owned by Rupert Murdoch is so much better than the House of Mouse and why the Marvel movies produced by the Vulpine of the 1900s is truly the stuff of legend.

All Hail Giant Dizzy Gillespie @ejriley.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
...you know, it's this mentality that gave us "Superman shouldn't wear trunks", "The Joker shouldn't be funny" and "The Fantastic Four should get their powers in a telepod accident and wear costumes that appeal primarily to people who suffer from both tetraphobia and colour-blindness". Just saying.

Rebel Moon opens with a Skygina and then has a shot of Orbital Wobble. I wonder how many people noped out after just those two shots?

Two...are you saying that having the antagonist of any given piece of media be female automatically means said piece of media is misogynistic? Is Wizard of Oz pandering to the chuds too? Or Sleeping Beauty? Or do you only care for the deconstructions that reimagined the baddies as misunderstood?

I'm starting to think this person is a misandrist. See, unlike the misogynistic chuds who think feminism is all about women having supremacy over men and not equality with men, I know the difference.
