Thor the Dark World is dying in the corner
I mean any MCU as of recent. Also looked it up seeing the film got praise and was a commercial success making $644 million against a $175 million dollar budget. Oh yeah that's sooo dying in the corner...

That's the thing with the MCU. It's pretty much the fast-food of cinema which may as well just call McMarvel.

See you in Netflix, Cowboy.
This looks like a bad cosplay.
I'm going to wait on this one before judging though.
The reviews for Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings are now starting to flood in. The majority of the reviews are highly positive so far.
Reminder that what the critics like may not align what the casual audience likes.

Sorry that it's not your precious The Suicide Squad.
You realize that film got positive reviews as well. It bombed due to the delta and lambda variants and chances are the same is gonna happen with Shang-Chi and every film following September for the exact same reason as with many following films this year. Hell I won't be surprised if films following September begin to get delayed again.

The fact Shang-Chi is gonna be theater-only and people would rather watch new movies at home. That honestly spells trouble.

It Also probably doesn't help that the movie barely has any marketing and it apparently isn't allowed to be played in china. Which Is the Target demographic of the film.

Typical China, why am I not even surprised. People really gets offended over the slightest of things nowadays...No surprise given this year and last year though...

Got a surge of playing Hopeful again after getting Lank ending, this time I got Cyclope ending, annnnd man, the difference in difficulty is night and day compared to Lank. Hardest Rider in particular is a nightmare with Cyclope, due to the fact that, ironically, the tankiest character of the trio isn't very good at tanking on his own.

I had to retry multiples times & getting drunk like crazy to make sure my damages was good, oh and the dumb horns mean jack **** on this boss lol. I tried and your damage is way too low to even the odd. They were good on other enemies, but on this, nah, you gotta use your brain.

Only Lank to do, and then I see if I do the Rodrigue route afterward.

Btw Shroob Shroob , got any opinion to share on the Hopeful endgame/Hardest rider?

And they play the victim while they are at it of a country. Pandemic has made me change my view completely of many countries. From mine to the US to China to even smaller ones.

The world is a ****hole.

Without context, this reads like something someone would write to parody rpg tropes, ngl.

Lisa ain't a parody (tho it does play with RPG tropes here and there), but I can see how weird my post is to someone who doesn't know what i'm talkin' about.

Then again, it make it funnier in a way, so what's to complain?

I will say that there are times that I do agree with critics if what I have seen is aligned with my views and times that I may have a different opinion when it comes to films.

Shang-Chi's positive reviews are interesting and whilst it does make me curious, hopefully once I get to see it, I will determine whether it matches my views.

On the Suicide Squad - whilst I do understand that the pandemic is the main reason to why it is not performing as well as it should have within the box office, there were other factors that had impacted its projections.

One of these is the film being available on the HBO Max streaming service in which whilst it does have its advantages where people can watch the Suicide Squad available at the comfort of their home, at the same time it does have its drawbacks where it is vulnerable to being pirated online (similar to how the other WB and Disney films had been impacted.)

I do predict that Shang-Chi may get a reasonable box office projection since it is a theater exclusive for 45 days, it does not seem to have much competition to face next month since Venom: Let There Be Carnage which was originally set for a late September release before it was shifted to mid October and it may have good legs to run due to the good reviews and word of mouth. However, its biggest challenge that it will still face is the pandemic.

**** it.

Don't usually change pfp on a weekday but Scarlet Nexus has been impressing me so change time.

Wish there was more fanart of a few characters but it's a mid-tier action RPG one off by Namco like Code Vein so wasn't going to be as popular and probably fall off the map.

It is really good.

I get why Disney would want pander to China, but they should have known better than to use characters based on racist caricatures, especially the villain. It is easy to see why China banned the film despite Disney's efforts.
