I just watched Venom. Wasn't as bad as critics said. Surely, wasn't as good as regular folks made it out to be, either. Nice action. And Hardy is good as always.

Was about as good as a Micheal Bay flick with better acting. Very run of the mill kind of action film.

On another note, Z-Nation is cancelled. I enjoyed it for what it was. But, it's about time to pull the plug anyway. I'm about 4 episodes behind. So, it'll be interesting to see how it ends. Hopefully, on a good note.

I hate unfinished show finales and shows/movies that end on an unhappy note (except The Mist. Loved that ending).

 

So, the mist is good? I was kind of on the fence about watching it.

 

A new promo for the third season of the animated series Young Justice has arrived. The third season, titled Young Justice: Outsiders, will premiere on the DC Universe streaming service starting on January 4th.

 

Not the TV show. That was trash. I'm talking about the movie.

 

I love how they used whelmed lol

Wonder Woman 1984, WW84 Just wrapped.



Aladdin just revealed a stunning new look at Princess Jasmine…!

 

Oh, Static Shock is going to be in it, cool!

 

I'll be pissed if they just give him some street clothes and sunglasses as a costume. I want to his full on comic book look.

 

Do we really need a live-action adaptation of Aladdin headlined by Will Smith? I'm still trying to forget about "Bright", a low point in his career.

 

Lol..Bright wasn't that bad. It did well enough that Netflix has already greenlit a sequel.

 

Yeah I enjoyed it. It's split when you realize just how many people watched it on Netflix. 11 million views in just three days of it's release.

I'm behind on Vikings as well. I haven't seen any of the current season.

I finally caught the preview on the big screen when I saw Aquaman a couple of days ago. It looks good, plus it has Milla Jovovich in it as well. You can't go wrong with her.

 

Ok so am I the only one who thinks Aquaman was a little racist?

 

Please expound

 

Only black people were bad guys. And the way he killed black Manta's dad (seriously why add black) was the most callous kill I've ever seen from a hero on film. Be wasn't in danger be just let dude drown to death. What happened to the redeemable villain? Every hero movie I can remember had the hero bending over backwards to help a villain and the only time they killed them is when there was an immediate danger but dude just left him there to drown slowly. It was heartless and cruel.

 

There were Black people in Aquaman??

 

I agree about that death. It was noticably callous. I've heard reviewers remark about it. They tried cleaning it up later in the movie, but...

 

@The Dark King I have to see it myself. I don't see it as that big of deal... but are you really surprised since DCEU haven't really introduced any prominent black characters outside of a sub-par Cyborg and a race-bended DeadShot.

 

Actually yes I am. It's one thing to be unrepresented but its another to only be represented as not only a villain but the only one that's never been given the chance for redemption. Like I said nearly all movies ans tv shows that come to mind have the reason with the villain because they're still human part and if they do kill him its never a slow death while their child watches.

 

The way the father of Manta died (a lethal pirate) didn't trouble me. He deserved his fate and I didn't give his demise much thought. But Aquaman lamented over his decision not to save him when he recounted the incident to Mera. We all know the Black Manta kills the only son of Aquaman in the comics, an innocent child.
