Ike Perlmutter is to blame imo. Doing the film only AFTER killing her off is the stupidest thing.
According to the recent book covering the mcu history he fought with everyone because he demanded Avengers be all men and pushed his shitty Inhumans crap hard.
On the bright side I genuinely think all four leads in BW had actual chemistry, something that rarely occurs with the other films. Making the head of the Red Room a Harvey Weinstein parody was retarded though. Really the best things to come out of the film were Florence Pugh and David Harbour. I am glad Yelena took on the mantle. Still pissed they killed Scarlett tho.
I would dearly love to know how much the stuntman who played Taskmaster - a character that spent nearly the entire movie in costume with mask on - got paid compared to the actress who had about two minutes of screentime playing Taskmaster with the mask off and basically just stood there with no dialogue the entire time. I mean it - I would LOVE to find that out and compare the figures.
 
I did not mind Black Widow but it could have been Winter Soldier levels if properly handled. Everyone had chemistry like you said and that film had some insane talent but I really like Yelena and Pugh is an incredible actress for her age. Scarlet was robbed though, she honestly was the heart of the Avengers and she practically sacrificed her career to play Black Widow as she knew she would pigeonhole her future options and current opportunities. Same with how I feel about Hemsworth because he could have been Jason Statham, Bruce Willis levels but the time he put into playing Thor really screwed him over. Sure it's money but creatively speaking it's the equivalent of working at MacDonalds.
 
It really is, it's a cacophony of shit. Bad writing, poor direction, and the pacing alone are suicide-inducing. It's clearly obvious too that they are trying to minimize the budget as much as possible but to bait your potential audience about it all being about Kang and clearly not show him, they are trying desperately to get rid of Majors.

I was thinking the other day and why the fuck didn't they just try and hire Denzel Washington. He is a great method actor, reliable and well-liked, and has star power. They picked an unknown from a canceled show to front a multi-billion project which is actually fucking insane.
 
I tried watching Loki, it is really, not good.

The amount of people that continue to tell me Marvel sucks but they still watch Loki cause "It's actually really really good, I swear" is annoying the fuck out of me.

My brother and mother enjoy it, so I watched it with them over skype. It's very bad. Very tedious, everyone is phoning it in acting wise, and the plot is walking through treacle in terms of speed.
 
What did happen to him? He was pretty big and just vanished from any major role? Did he come out as conservative or fucked the wrong person?
I read somewhere he's picky about his roles.

He's also an extremely devout Evangelical Christian which is not popular in Hollywood atm to say the least so that could be another factor. Look how they treated Chris Pratt.
 
Is that why they gave him a whole episode and almost surely will have him in the next one if not in all of the next ones?
Hollywood is just so weird with how to handle things like this. Sometimes they replace the actor (Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp), sometimes they kill them offscreen/forget about their existence, and in this case, they just keep Majors on. Don’t know why they can’t just replace him. Regardless of whether he did anything wrong or not, at least a portion of Marvel’s toxic audience is going to be disgusted by him still being in the MCU.
Froest Whittaker doing a fake Yoruba accent makes me out and out laugh every time I hear it. It's just so fucking comical.
Especially when you look at his performance in The Last King of Scotland, you have to wonder what happened.

Well, he’s almost 70 and has Fuck You money now. He did the third Equalizer movie and is set to be in the sequel to Gladiator for some reason.
 
That movie ended with Russel Crowe's character dead and reunited with his family at the elysian fields. There was nothing left in that story to tell.
I don't know what they're going to do with the sequel *now*

But there were some talks way back in the early 2000's of doing a sequel where Maximus would fight in the afterlife with the Roman Gods or something.

I think there was even talks of having Maximus become like Kratos in the original God of War and having to live forever and fighting in WWII and stuff.

I doubt they'll stick with that but who knows?
 
Why would they make a sequel to Gladiator of all things? That movie ended with Russel Crowe's character dead and reunited with his family at the elysian fields. There was nothing left in that story to tell.

After the murder of Commodus by a slave, a slave rebellion happened and the Roman Empire, now under the reign of evil emperor Albus Quintus Trumpus, began a harsh repression of slaves that, of course, had melanated slaves most affected. Biggus Dickus (Denzel Washington) is an elderly egyptian architect and philosopher that is seeing his country being ravaged by the vengeful hordes of romans and his people being massacred and, when he tries to put on some resistance, he gets enslaved along with the rest.

At Rome, he meets another slave, a young orphaned slave, Maximus Thuggus (Jaden Smith) and he decides to become his mentor, training his body and mind so that he can survive in the dangerous sands of the Colosseum. The movie ends with Thuggus impaling Trumpus and then becoming Emperor of the Roman Empire.
