Also the subplot with the eagle hunter guy was pointless and added nothing except enabling Michael Rooker to be there

I respect how the Peacemaker season 2 finale very deliberately bucked the trend of how streaming superhero shows always end with a big CGI sky battle, but I think it overcorrected to a degree and leaned too hard into character drama over spectacle

Has there ever been a franchise where the title character mattered less than Tron? He's always just also there. He's never the main character. But his name is on the poster.

Thomas O’Connor @thomasoc.bsky.social · 1d

Is the character Tron even in the new Tron movie? I haven't seen anyone even ask this. Or allude to him in any of the trailers.
He's the guy the franchise is named for, you'd think he'd be even moderately important.

Having the evil Russian guy in Iron Man 2 insist on drone warfare was oddly prescient huh

Objectively very funny that the first Venom movie made money as a fluke, which mistakenly convinced Sony that they had something with the whole Spider-Man Villains Movies idea, leading them to make a whole string of absolute garbage that everyone hated.

In case you're wondering how Glenn Powell is doing, he's starring in a Hulu original series that also features Hawk Tuah girl

I make fanfic covers, banners, headers, and more. DM for VERY cheap pricing and other examples- trying to pay some bills while I’ve been between jobs! Help a broke girlie out? 💕

I fucking hate job hunting. I get a DM on LinkedIn saying "your profile looks like a great match" so sure, I fill out the form. Half an hour later I get an email saying "we have no positions that match your qualifications" SO I GUESS THE FIRST PART WAS JUST A FUCKING LIE THEN HUH

I'm glad everyone else likes it, it just doesn't land for me personally.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say I'm not really feeling it? The proportions look off to me, especially the shoulders, which look way too small. Also I've just gotten used to the legs being black, so the light grey legs look weird even if they're accurate.

I mean, I guess if the cost of never having to see Jared Leto in a movie again is that Tron just dies as a franchise....that's ultimately worth it.

Thomas O’Connor @thomasoc.bsky.social · 13d

Torn between wanting Tron Ares to bomb so that Hollywood finally learns that Jared Leto fucking sucks and wanting Tron Ares to succeed so that Hollywood learns that Tron is cool and should continue to be a thing

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

I wouldn't have time or energy either if I'd just installed a sink in the middle of my table, mere feet from my other, bigger sink.
That's a major project, of course you're gonna be tired.

You have discovered a planet. It is gaseous and optimal. It is in a galaxy far away. If there are dressmakers there, they could learn.

The American kind or the Canadian kind? That could be the problem
