I don't know, The Joker seems inordinately happy.
He was a miserable bastard in the Oscar winning film about him.

The director of Morbius seems to be having a public mental breakdown this week.
Moon Knight, I see they're trying to go the Loki way with it, but I feel that's a trick that really only works once in the MCU. It's a bit of a mess. Oscar Isaac is throwing himself into it, mind you.
What do you mean by the Loki way? Post as a spoiler if you like.
I mean they're throwing the Moon Knight character into a multiverse situation, all very au courant at the moment I suppose, but I felt it had been done before with the Loki TV series. And then I remembered they'd already tried it with Legion, which seems like ages ago now, and who would have thought it would be so influential with the reception it was given at the time?
Thought so, "multiverse" is where they are going with everything, DC too with the new Flash movie.
I think this might be the point where "cinematic universes" collapse under their own weight.
Not while Spider-Man: No Way Home is the biggest movie of the past few years.
DC may have their own problems with The Flash now Ezra Miller is having a public meltdown.
Am I the only person in the world who thought the latest spiderman film was a bit of a let down? I'm struggling to work out why I didn't like it, I just wasn't keen on it. And yet it seems so popular??
Some movie podcasts I listen to were lukewarm on it, I don't think anyone loved it or loved it without substantial reservations anyway.
It was good I thought. I enjoyed it. There was a lot of hype. Nothing could live up to it.Am I the only person in the world who thought the latest spiderman film was a bit of a let down? I'm struggling to work out why I didn't like it, I just wasn't keen on it. And yet it seems so popular??
It's always going to end in a big fight. That's the nature of the genre. I enjoyed Moon Knight as something very different in style from the usual Marvel feel, and really something different from usual superhero output. It was definitely not perfect, but I think it was different and brave.Well, that was Moon Knight. I seemed to spend most of the second half of the series wondering "Are you dead or what?" Ended in a big fight, just for a change.
The CGI in that trailer looks janky. I've heard they've had some problems in production but I hope it's a little cleaner in the final product. Otherwise, it looks fun.This looks like a mash-up of the Dan Slott/Charles Soule runs of She-Hulk, along with touches of the John Byrne Sensational She-Hulk and a pinch of classic Savage She-Hulk:
Spiderman 3: EVAN MOAR SPIDDERMANS!!!!! was enormous, much more successful than I would have anticipated, let's see how Dr Stangelove 2: We Are Pretended That This A Horror Or Something does. I'm sure it will be big, likely very big but I don't think it'll do Spidey numbers or even close. I'm quite prepared to be wrong about that though. I do wonder how much complexity and interconnectedness to average cinema going punter is prepared to go along with, never bet against the MCU but nothing lasts for ever and the seas of public taste change.
As you say, The Flash: We Finally Made It! Also What Are We Doing? has been pushed back to next year and Ezra Miller is proving to be a prize cunt and utter liability. DC seemed to finally be getting something right, the Flashpoint is their course correction, maybe as a way of bringing together discrete separate films like Joker and The Batman but also combining them with what is salvageable from the Synderverse and newer stuff, again, I don't know much audiences will go along with.
Yeah, he was good as The Flash. I watched the whole series when it was on TV.I said from the start that they had the perfect Flash in Grant Gustin. There was no reason he couldn't have held his own on the big screen.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Yet another trek through the Multiverse and Dr strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) has to undertake that voyage if he's to prevent the destruction of his universe and perhaps the Multiverse itself. There's this teen girl, America (Xochitl Gomez) who appears in the Doc's dreams but the events are actually happening in another universe, she then appears in his universe pursued by a giant octopus which Dr Strange battles along with the help of Wong (Benedict Wong), now the supreme Sorcerer in that universe. Things get complicated when Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) goes over to the Dark Side in her Scarlet Witch persona. So the battles continue through assorted universes in search of an Occult Text and Docs galore are revealed, dad, alive, bad, good and in between. Some interesting superhero guests also feature but best not to reveal who exactly. A good fantasy adventure with some dark moments but all is leavened by the strain of humour which permeates the film. Directed by Sam Raimi, written by Michael Waldron. 8/10.
In cinemas.
