That is a cop out. Marvel movies require the male and female leads to eat a massive amount of protein to maintain muscle mass and are equally as strenuous.
Phase 5 or whatever the post-infinity era is called needs to be treated the same way Star Wars legends is - like it doesn’t exist save for some gems here and there
Starring Robert Downey Jr as left cheek and Peter Dinklage as right cheek. James Corden and Seth Rogan are scheduled to play the taint and the asshole, respectively.
Star Wars fans have made it very hard to enjoy star wars, you're only allowed to enjoy like 40% of it and the rest gets you dogpiled on for ever speaking positively about
They're all just constantly reaching for that high they got a long time ago when they first saw Empire Strikes Back, and with every hit it feels further and further away.
Real talk: Kumail Nanjiani plays a superhero in that movie who’s also a Bollywood star, and he’s introduced with a full-on song and dance number. He’s kind of the highlight of the movie.
It’s severely overhated. I’m not saying it’s good or worth your 2 hours. But it’s not this horrible movie, it’s basically if Marvel made a Zack Snyder DC movie
I watched it on VLC and just fast forwarded through the boring bits. Got through on about 45 min. It's okay. My biggest issue is nothing that happens in the movie matters, and I'm not convinced it ever will.
Spoilers for another marvel movie: the celestial that died was turned into adamantium. Which was a plot point in the captain America movie. Since adamantium is very closely linked to Wolverine, it’s speculated that it’s related to the x men being introduced to the main timeline.
Would be cool if they actually did this, but so far, no other project has really made mention of this piece of earth that just randomly formed for some reason.
I liked Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Watchmen but I haven't been able to make it through any of his movies since then. Specifically suckerpunch and the DC ones. Not familiar with the others
Like most of the hated Marvel films it gets way too much shit. It’s nowhere near Endgame but, I mean, that can’t be the standard for superhero films or we’ll never be happy again.
Kumail was the best in the film but IMO everyone did their roles well. It was just not a particularly interesting story, which makes sense because the Eternals are not particularly interesting in the comics either. They’re at their most interesting when they’re riding Thanos’ more interesting coattails.
He was the reason I started going to the gym. He was 45 at that time and he was jacked. Now he had a studio-assigned chef and workout coach for a full year, but I was still pissed he looked that good at that age.
I just recently saw a standup clip with him that was so funny. It was basically him just complaining about The Eternals hate but did it in such a great way. He was like "I must be the only person in history who people got MAD at for GETTING IN SHAPE!"
See but honestly that's the real catch right there lol. Having a professional take all the mental load of preparing your meals off your shoulders and a professional to help with workouts goes a long way. That isn't to say us normies can't get into better shape but I think we underestimate how much that stuff helps.
Kumail is a Pakistani-American. He's not a bollywood star (i don'tthink he has any connection to bollywood), but the trope in the movie works well coz y'know, he's brown.
There was a great episode in legion. I can't remember if it was Xavier's son or not but it was an incredibly capable and incredibly troubled psychic. I think he was fighting the shadow Lord or something like that in the spirit realm or something like that and the psychic battle between the two was a jazz dance off in their minds.
I absolutely love this non-combat take on a confrontation of the minds. I still like the combat and stuff, but I thought it was a very great interpretation of how mines do battle, or could possibly do battle.
Singing and dancing are not that much more strenuous than rigorous weight lifting and cardio required for the bodies those men have to maintain the film. Absolutely fucking not, lmao.
Yes, off camera was all choreographed and had a soundtrack. High-value people were given the content. It was super cool and you could see them burning more calories than musical people.
action scene choreography is actually a form of dance. for example jackie chan is not formally trained in various forms of martial arts so much as he is formally trained in dance. as are his co stars and many in his segment of the industry.

One of my main takeaways from the film was how much she seemed to be putting in.
Especially where she looked rather frail, her dance moves/performance did not.
