I wish they would get a guy in his early 60s. That is fit enough to handle the mo-cap for
Red-Hulk
I was about to reply about how he isn't that far past but decided to check his age first and.... He's flippin' 80 already?! When did that happen?!
With time
Star Wars came out 45 years ago when he was in his mid-thirties. I would be surprised if he wasn't 80.
I thought he was 80 in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Yeah when the rumors of the casting started swirling around a few weeks ago I thought the same thing.
Great casting, sure. But Mephisto makes ZERO sense in Ironheart. I call bullshit.
I'm with you. Reportedly, there are multiple sources, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were all quoting a single source, who was just guessing.
Seems like a source going where can we attach this rumor to next? *Throws dart at chart* That’s the ticket!

Spoilers from the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Trailer
Is it weird that my favorite thing about the trailer was that it closed a plot hole in my brain about how Janet survived all those years down there? Yes the quantum realm technically has different levels of time passage, but Janet was shown to be aged just as much as Hank, so she had to be somewhere time wasn't slowed down and able to eat and drink and stuff.
I’m looking forward to the movie. I think it’s going to be a fun ride.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is set to join the Disney+ series “Wonder Man” as Simon Williams, who transforms into the titular superhero. It will be Abdul-Mateen’s third major comic book character, after playing the villain Black Manta in 2018’s “Aquaman” and Dr. Manhattan in HBO’s 2019 series “Watchmen,” for which he won an Emmy.

The sleep deprived me just can’t figure this out.And now we know why...
Or my joke wasn't very good.
I was implying that the shift is a result of timeline shenanigans.
I can accept either explanation, working life off of 16 hours sleep in 4 days means I have to question my reactions and comprehension of some things.Or my joke wasn't very good.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
This is the first time since Super that I didn't like a James Gunn project. Future repeat viewings might change my mind, but not by much.
It felt completely hollow fluff, with hollow sentiments to me. Drax and Mantis interacting was...fine, but it became tedious of just them for the majority of the time. I guess of the Guardians on the team, except for Pratt, their makeup and wardrobe would have been easiest to have on screen for the entirety of the short film. Rocket, Groot, and Nebula are barely in it. But I don't know, their hijinks through Hollywood got tiresome quickly for me. The random Go-Bots thing felt like a bad Family Guy gag.
And I get it was on a smaller, TV-scale budget, but some of the effects were terrible. Or even just terribly edited, like Drax and Mantis jumping off the roof where they were clearly CG jumping off to a sudden cut where they clearly hopped in place to show that they "land." I'm used to better editing from Gunn, I guess.
Also, maybe it's just me, but Groot looked awful. I thought he was an animatronic but I'm pretty sure he was CG, but he looked terrible, either way.
Also too many musical numbers for my taste. I get they were aping the old Star Wars Holiday Special structure, but...that was a terrible structure in the first place? Again, I'm used to Gunn using music in much smarter ways than entire musical numbers to pad out the run time.
Lastly, maybe it's just me, but Pratt seemed devoid of his usual emotion or charisma. His performance felt incredibly phoned in, like he didn't want to be there.
Overall, I don't necessarily regret the time I spent watching it, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it, specifically.
