Calvin’s Thoughts
A blog about topics that I want to talk about. I hope you enjoy them!
Of all the MCU characters, Thor had by far the best multi-movie arc, which is why it’s so disheartening to see how he fell from grace after Ragnarok
The Night King was the Big Bad of Westeros, but what was his plan to get through the Wall? The number of lucky breaks and shear coincidences required for him to even reach Winterfell are beyond belief, and would make for an amusing pitch meeting…
Star Wars already has space magic in the form of the Force. However, the new Star Wars movies have made Hyperspace just as fantastical, and not in a good way. Rules don’t apply, the behavior of hyperspace in one movie invalidates the choices made in another, and how hyperspace travel works is wildly inconsistent from one film to the next! Why add another type of astral sorcery by screwing with spaceflight?
It’s not racist, and it’s not supposed to be realistic. It’s a pre-computer navigational tool, so shut your pie holes.
The Twilight series sucks, but hidden beneath the execrable writing and nauseating messages, there’s a sinister and seriously interesting vampire world that I wish we had explored instead.
Someone save us from supercilious reboots! What would I do instead of lazily remaking old films? Well, I have a few ideas…
Does Disney’s Cinderella take place in a magical land of Fairy Godmothers and singing mice, or does she live in AN EVIL EMPIRE?
