Why is it of all the characters in Attack on Titan, the one I’m most captivated by is fucking Gabi? She was only introduced in the second to last season, and she’s arguably the one I care the most about. I want to see her be happy and not a brainwashed racist.

I’m curious what people think about Black Panther. Oscars controversy aside, is it a good film, has interesting characters and interesting worldbuilding?

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I really liked it myself

The added political intrigue, however light, did give it a different flavor than the usual MCU affair.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Only characters interesting were the ones I hated, worldbuilding is whatever.

Generally, it was just okay.
Batman meets Lion King.

Ian Ousley, the person playing Sokka in the live action Avatar The Last Airbender, is being accused of faking being indigenous to get the role.

@Holofan4life
Wouldn’t shock.

It’s weird

For Scoob, the movie gets hate because a celebrity replaces a voice actor. But when it’s the other way around for Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, it gets hate too.

I know people got their reasons to shove it in my face as to why people didn’t like both films and think they’re bad, but come on. How tf it makes sense?

@The Worst Person
Probably because hotel Transylvania was not based on a big franchise End the celebrities were playing characters Designed around them.

@The Worst Person
cuz they got celebrity replacement that sucked and didn’t even tell the va’s that have playing the characters for 2 fucking decades that they were replaced.

@northern haste
Yea, but the fourth one still got more hate than the past three.

Was it Brian Hull replacing Adam Sandler or was it that Tartakovsky wasn’t fully involved is what made the movie “bad”?

@The Worst Person
What? I thought you were talking about Celebrity replacements getting hate.
People didn’t hate scoop just because of celebrities But also because it was putting more focus into being 1st of a cinematic universe than actually being a scooby doo movie

@The Worst Person
Why’d they replace Sandler?

@northern haste
Controversy leads to ruin, you know.

@Dex Stewart
No official word but probably money,

@Dex Stewart
IIRC i think it’s becuase he’s busy with other projects, so they replaced him wiht his blessing with someone else for this movie.

How many people tuned out of the MCU after Endgame?

I only glance back whenever new Spiderman stuff comes out and that’s it.

@CaptainXtra
I kinda did. I told myself I would take a break after Endgame, only stopping for Spiderman and whenever the X-Men shows up.

Ended up watching Shang Chi in September and loved it

Forget Bully Strange or Strange Bully.

More like Stiladick Cumberbitch

It really needs to set up the next ongoing plot to be sure. The various one-off movies and series are entertaining, but you can really tell it was the ongoing Infinite Stones and Thanos plots stringing them together that kept them especially interesting.

So yeah. Just give us Kang already.

Something that I don’t get about the Sequel Trilogy is how undermanned and few on ships the Resistance was.

You’re honestly telling me that Leia or Ackbar didn’t hold onto several dozen or more Mon Calamari Cruisers once they heard about the First Order making moves?
