SDCC trailers

[tielan]

I'm excited by Justice League, but not by Thor: Ragnarok. The word 'bloated' came up in a description of the MCU franchise in a review last year (or possibly this year, when comparing Wonder Woman with the current crop of superhero movies) and 'bloated' perfectly describes the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok.

Spiderman: Homecoming has good enough reviews that I might actually watch it (sometime), and I will be there to watch Black Panther with BELLS ON. But I might pass Thor: Ragnarok in much the same way that I passed on Thor: When Dark Elves Attack The Dark World. I eventually watched it and enjoyed it, but it wasn't All That. (Then again, I feel like the Thor franchise is one of the weakest ones in the MCU storyline.)

I haven't even looked at the trailer for Stargate: Origins, although if it's Catherine Langford's story, I will almost certainly give a looksee.

also long comment from planet hell, WTF Moi!

Long comment from planet hell always welcome! (I love long comments; I don't get to talk with people much about these things, so they tend to percolate in my head.)

Aww! ....well you have a friend in me then, ahahaha. Other than online I basically talk about this stuff with....T, and he sees the superhero movies because I do. (His recent choice for solo viewing was the new 3-D Planet of the Apes flick, which I didn't want to see on a couple of levels.) He likes them -- we both love the same ones -- but I don't think they're something he might watch on his own.

I'm lucky in that I've made a few geeky friends outside of the internet (and have the time/energy to catch up with them), so we discuss these things on occasion. But it's still nice to get into the nitty gritty at a level that most non-fannish people don't even realise is there!

You've reminded me that I have at least one friend I should contact about going to see the WW movie (she always sees them late, and we usually go to the superhero ones together). If she hasn't already...

Oh, yeah, I love fandom meta. It's just so fun, but really analytical as well. That's one of the big things I miss about LJ, it was so much more natural to have meta discussions and they were A LOT easier to find (people tell me it happens on Tumblr, I never find it unless I'm directly linked to it by someone else).

[tielan]

Ugh, I don't bother metaing on Tumblr anymore. Too many observers, not enough specificity when they're liking your post...
