Mark Ruffalo will NOT be in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’.

Sources say he misspoke in the interview.

It's either that or Mark Ruffalo spoiling things as usual.

Well, let's see whether this can make a Madame Web-illion dollars.

Looks at the social media reaction to Madame Web and seeing one saying that "Morbius is better" doesn't really sets any high expectations for the film.

Capcom is holding a poll to ask which franchises deserves to have a reboot/sequel:

Capcom Super Elections | Capcom Town

Welcome to the Capcom Town Capcom Super Elections.

It is really hard to pick which ones, but I went with Darkstalkers, Dead Rising and Ace Attorney. (Although there are plenty of other long dormant franchises that also deserved to be revived.)

Someone from Reddit:

"Killing off beloved characters in the opening moments of the new instalment is such a lazy screenwriting trope that I’m tired of."

I wouldn't exactly go as far and say that "killing off beloved characters in the opening moments" should be considered as a "lazy screenwriting trope."

I've seen some films and shows that were able to establish how character deaths can help with the narrative of the plot going forward. For example (and maybe not from an opening moment perspective) Agent Phil Coulson's death during a confrontation against Loki in the Avengers film helped elevate the stakes moving forward and it gave the heroes a meaning and coming together with a goal to stop Loki and save New York.

At the same time, there are some films and shows that were not able to adapt this well. For example, Maria Hill's death in the Disney+ show series Secret Invasion did the opposite of what the Avengers film had accomplished and didn't help drive the narrative of the plot going forward.

Personally, I know that killing off beloved characters isn't something that everyone is going to agree on, but as long as a character's death is well written and have a meaningful purpose, it can contribute to raising the stakes for both plot and character that can tie up the loose ends of the narrative.

Social media reactions and review embargo for Sony Entertainment Pictures' Madame Web will be lifted a day before the film comes out in theatres.

I get the feeling this may not bode well at all for Madame Web although that may depend on the reviews.

dezeray112 · Feb 4, 2024

Going back to children's tv shows that I watched back at my time and one of these was "It's a Mystery" that once aired back on CITV. It was a show that usually presenters tell different stories that will either be weird, strange, spooky or even fascinate the viewer in which these mysteries either ends in being solved or unsolved.

Here is an example of a story based upon the "Tunbridge Wells time slip."

At the end of the day, its Super Mario Bros, one of the biggest and well-known and iconic franchises within the video game industry which is not a surprise that the film was a success regardless of whether it was good or not.

Should you trust RT critics or the audience scores? You should just go and watch the film and decide for yourself whether it meets your expectations or not.

If there is DLC content that interests me, then I'll consider making a purchase.

If there is DLC content that does not interest me, then I won't make a purchase.

Those are the two "options" I have when it comes to what sort of DLC content I want to purchase because at the end of the day, it is my own decision, not theirs to decide.

That is all I am going to say.

Someone from Reddit:

"It's like watching a Marvel movie, you don't go to the cinema for the plot, you are in it for the action. Tekken 8 achieved that for me."

Whilst I am aware that people have different preferences when they go to watch a film or going to the cinema, I actually beg to differ in regards to what this poster stated.

I've watched a ton of Marvel movies and I generally don't watch them just for the action, but also for the plot to see how well every aspect is structured.

Having a good plot usually tells you what happens throughout the story and also acts as a mechanism that can help with building up their characters. Without a good plot, people will not have a general idea of what is going on and make them care less about the character's development.

I did watched the entire Tekken 8 story on Youtube in which I will give my thoughts in a later post.

So apparently in an old article, there were plans to make a film adaptation of the SoulCalibur series with its synopsis as:

"The story revolves around two warriors who are chosen by Shaolin monks to recover and destroy a powerful sword, Soul Edge, that has fallen into the hands of an evil prince who plans to use it to open the gates of hell and destroy the world."

https://archive.ph/20130103083022/http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/496345

Just like the usual with studios not following the source material nor even consulting with the producers of the video game, this would had been an absolute disaster just like the Tekken live action film. But at least the film was canned in the end.

To be honest, I'm not entirely too surprised in regards to the early box office predictions for Madame Web (which is tracking even lower than Morbius) considering that Sony Entertainment Pictures hasn't done much marketing on the film.

It is not often that I had to go on a rant about something but to reiterate someone's response to my comment on Youtube:

"u talked about results in ur post to support ur arguments, which shows that u don't really understand football at all. Results do not matter."

I just feel that this part of the comment is completely wrong. Yes, I did mentioned the importance of results as part of my arguments as I believe that any other sports team in whatever discipline will know that results do matter to them as this will give them answers on what should be focused and improved upon as their next target.

But to say that I don't understand football at all is beyond laughable to me. I've been following the sport ever since I've been a long time Manchester United supporter. I've seen them play at their best and I've seen them play at their worst. This is why I used results to support my argument from above, because all clubs and managers will want to analyse their strengths and weaknesses upon the performances in order to achieve better results.

Watched the first 6 episodes of Netflix's "Beef" which is really good especially with Steven Yeun and Ali Wong's performances in which I understand why they won best supporting actor and actress during the Golden Globes awards.

I think bringing in Jake Schrier and Lee Sung Jin (director and writer of "Beef") are decent choices to direct and write the upcoming Marvel Studios' "Thunderbolts" film. It is a shame that Steven Yeun who was originally casted as Sentry/Robert Reynolds had to pull out of the role due to scheduling conflicts and he would had been good in the role.
