And apparently the used car dealer guy Spoiler The guy who won the Atlas competition holding the boulder Is really just a good dude. When he won the strongest man competition a couple years back, he apparently gave all the winnings to one of the other competitors because he had entered to help his sick mother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show, despite the very obvious and appealingly shallow focus on bodies kind of resulted in the inverse. It was also enjoyable to see how supportive everyone was of each other. Not something most people associate with competitive fitness freaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ftn49 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Saw Guardians this weekend... it was fine. Not great, not terrible. I didn't think it had the emotional impact of the first two unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel was so high it was impossible for them not to take a bit of a dip after infinity war like Chrissooner said. I don't know if it is just me that I have watched/seen too much but frankly quality across the board (in both movies and tv) has been down. I've enjoyed more foreign stuff than I have from Hollywood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which: "Big Brother" starring Donnie Yen is really good. I must admit though to being a Donnie Yen fan. But this is not just a martial arts movie...it has a few similarities to "Stand and Deliver" and "Lean on Me", which is one of the reasons I like it so much.

I feel like after infinity war / endgame, there was just a mass exhale from the audience. They had finally finished this decade plus long story that they had been committed to and when it was over, I'm not sure how much more they had left in them. The movies also became way more about spectacle which was great for infinity war / endgame because it came with real impacts (deaths) and it was the culmination. It was the grand finale of the fireworks. But spectacle has become the most important thing in every marvel movie and I think people tire of that. Every Marvel movie has ostensibly become the same. Just drop in the appropriate character, add some quips, there's your movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
