I don't tend to pay too close attention to toys, but this one really caught my eye. Spoiler

Avengers: Endgame. Spoiler

I think a bigger part of it was the noise people made over Wonder Woman the year before.

Watched a cam of Aquaman. It's about as average as a movie can get, but it's done well enough to not feel like you were ripped off like most of the other DCEU movies. The "humor" is painfully forced though, and at one point destroys the movie's pacing, bringing it to a screeching halt. Also some irritation when it comes to characterization, but only if you actually read Aquaman in the first place. Probably best to see it a week after premiere, during the day to avoid the crowds.

James Gunn has found some work, producing a movie to postulate "What if Superman were evil?" Which may have been done umpteen times in book format, would still be neat to see as a movie. Here's Brightburn's trailer. Not a bad bit of video, but the best part is apparently plenty of people neither understand what "Free Use" actually is, and don't seem to understand that "parody" isn't limited to just comedy. Spoiler I especially like the part near the end where Spoilerthe cafeteria is out of chicken nuggets

You nerds probably already knew this, I just learned that The Great Snap killed 50% of all the critters as well. I assumed it only killed intelligent sentient life. So now on top of the whole "Going to be a lot more than 50% after the fires down down" we have cascading ecological failures ensuring extinction for most of the life on Earth and presumably across the universe. This drops Thanos from Chaotic Evil to plain Chaotic Stupid and his big plan, which was never deeper than a stoned freshman saying "Wait, dude... dude... what if like we solved overpopulation by fifty percent, just, like, going away, man..." into something diametrically opposite of his supposed desire and he was too retarded to ever noodle this out on his own.

Wow... Infinity Wars just became a much worse movie in my estimation.

Wasn't Kong supposed to be part of some greater monster-verse but it never got traction?

Edit: I think Kong was WB and this is WB so maybe it's still trying to happen.

That Godzilla movie looks like every Saturday afternoon watching Son of Svenghoolie monster movies condensed into one 2 hour block.

How do you know those manatees won't rise up and become a thorn in Thanos' side if left alone? Huh? Huh?

There's a seahorse typing out an angry Medium blog as we speak.

The Punisher returns to Netflix January, and (most likely) cancelled in February.

Extended clips of Fred Savage and Ryan Reynolds banter for the Once Upon a Deadpool movie makes me really hope it has them bickering back and forth while Deadpool is telling him a rehashed version of the movie. And not just the same movie with a few minutes of scenes cut to make it PG-13, and Savage/Reynolds clips made solely for promotional material.

I won't be seeing it in theaters either way, but if it were, I probably would check it out if/when they release it on BluRay. Not that I could see it in theaters if I wanted to. Pretty sure local theaters (or, theater... only one choice in the area) here aren't showing this "limited" screening.

Saw Aquaman for reals in a theater with popcorn and everything. It was okay. Better than almost all other DCU films though. Didn't reach the high points of Wonder Woman but also lacked WW's train wreck ending fight. It could be in a double feature with Ant-Man & Wasp without either film upstaging the other.

Eh, wife wanted to see Aquaman and the only Spider-Man I care about is traditional ranch flavored Peter Parker. Plus "animated superhero movie" isn't a draw for me.
