Current Events > When I went to see Avatar 2 literally every movie trailer was for superheroes.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll give you a bit of the attention that you're so desperately seeking. Here you go.

Sure there were some non movie ads.

But it was all Shazam, Ant man, Shitty spiderman cartoon, Aquaman, Black Adam, Wakanda Forever.

And every single one looked the same.

I'm not one of those guys who gets irrationally mad at suphero films but man the lack of vareity in Hollywood is for sure on display.

We need a new Tarantino or Gilliam to step up.

s***ty spiderman cartoon

Damn that's a trash take even for UR

The movie isn't even out yet and you're already fanboying that it's a masterpiece.

Wasn't Black Adam already on streaming when Avatar 2 hit theaters? Why would they show a trailer for it?

Tarantino is supposed to be retiring soon anyway so you have to look to someone else.

literally every movie trailer was for superheroes.

The movie looks fantastic, yes, but I'm more going off the first one, which was quite literally a masterpiece.

Now, I havent seen the second Avatar movie, so I dont have first hand knowledge of the plot. But I did see the first one, and it was one of the most generic, boring, white savior films Ive seen in the last two decades, propped up solely by the special effects.

And the TC is complaining about generic looking superhero flicks? Sure, okay.

I mean, "propped up solely by special effects" is a pretty shitty way to describe a movie with quite literally revolutionary effects that haven't been matched before or since except by the sequel

Im supposed to think a movie is amazing solely because of the special effects now? Okay.

There are a lot of original and other types of movies out there. Yall just focus way too much on comic book movies.

You don't have to like it but it is a genuine strength. A movie doesn't have to have an amazing story to be good.

They were literally the only ones advertised in the trailers.

If thats your metric, then the last three Star Wars films were masterpieces.

Didn't have visuals anywhere close to on par with Avatar so no, although I did love the first two of the sequel trilogy.

In other words, yes, thats your metric. Okay.

So you went to go see a CGI action movie and are surprised that you saw trailers for other CGI action movies

The point is there's usually at least some vareity in what's advertised

Even if Ant Man and Black Adam and Shazam are all just dudes saving the world from the monster of the week, at least it's the world.

Also calling superhero movies "CGI" movies is silly

Comparing UP to Avatar to Black Adam as the same 3 movies because they all "feature CGI" is madness.

Dumbest thing I'll read this week.

Well then glad you enjoy the multiverse

An infinite amount of everything means nothing matters. This is pretty much literally the plot of Rick and Morty.

lol come on my man

Superhero movies have enough CGI in them that they may as well be cartoons

Except that's not how it's worked in these movies or television series at all, at any point, ever. I get your criticism, but it's not valid here.

There's a reason why people are heartbroken about Bambi a century later and it's directly because Bambi's mom couldn't just walk in from the universe next door at the end of the film.

CGI isn't a bad thing or something to be avoided.

people grow attached to specific versions/iterations of characters. Miles in Spiderverse and Miles in Spidey PS4 are functionally two completely different characters due to going through radically different events

I like how you accidentially started arguing my very point here

Gonna be fun to see you try to backtrack on it

This is a lie

And somehow you saw trailers for 2 movies released months earlier, and one that doesn't even have a trailer yet! Pretty cool, man

Speak up if you've got something to say, bud.

You certainly were not arguing the value of various iterations of a character.
