anyone else just got zero interest in fantastic 4? I dont get the appeal, maybe you need to be into comics to understand it? Certainly feel the fatigue of so many cracks at trying to get it off the ground.

I can't watch marvel movies anymore, so much cg I just don't engage with it. I'd prefer cartoons, eg DC animated.

Yeah this is me too, most of this style of movie I pretty much avoid now. The obvious CG just ruins it.

That's one of the things I respected about the latest Alien movie, even though there was still CGI they made a big push to use practical effects and physical sets as much as possible, including getting many of the effects crew back from the 1986 original movie, and it really shows.

so hit and miss too. Black panther 2 was visually terrible!

Maybe the fanart of Sue Storm from Marvel Rivals will get you interested in them more

not a fan of pornified video game characters. never understood how overwatch was trending on the 'hub tbh.

The developers probably think its free marketing but it usually means a property has fans that have never played the game before

zero interest in super hero movies, all marvel heroed out

but I am excited for the new ( non marvel ) Omni-man series

I honestly didn't mind the first 2. Cheesy as hell, but loads of fun.

Skipped the one from 10 years ago.

I think this one might end up being better than expected and I base that on thing.

Pedro Pascal though.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I didnt hate them as a kid, but I struggle to get enthusiastic about them. I dont get what is exciting I guess. And yes I would watch pedro pascal act as some grass growing, the dudes got talent!

Really unsure about the rest of the cast. But it's Marvel, and their casting is usually pretty spot on.

I'll still watch, just ain't gonna pay for the privilege.
