But they were all competent generally speaking.
Between the Stalker games, the book they are based on, Mutant Year Zero and probably some other stuff, any time there is a scifi setting that revolves around an area of alienness of some kind, I'm calling it the Zone, I don't care what it's actually called.
They might've referred to it as that in the movie, it sounded like it fit to me.
That said, if anyone wants a good book to read, I highly recommend Roadside Picnic. Maybe don't read it with sharp objects around though, because it's depressing as fuck.
It wasn't even that type of movie doe.
That was the surprising part.
I've heard intersting things about a scene or two involving a bear.
Yeah that bear scene was pretty fucking good.
You could probably look it up on YT, it doesn't really spoil any other part of the movie.
Oh I've already had the plot spoiled for me.
A lot of the time, I get interested in a movie because I read a plot synopsis or something.
Yeah the main character isn't even like a mary sue "can do no wrong" typa character either. The film legit opens with her cheating on her husband.
They're pretty nuanced characters for the most part.
ikr
Another movie that did that really well was the Wonder Woman movie.
A movie directed by a woman where you spend the first third of the movie on a island of exclusively women and where the main character is a super human whose probably the strongest being on Earth at that point.
It was surprisingly not that "girl power" it was kinda just a decent action flick.
Even that "No Man's Land" scene didn't seem forced at all.
It was actually pretty fckin' hype.
The end of the movie kinda dropped the ball doe.
You're lowkey better off forgetting it.
And yeah she did.
Kind of sad that she had to be addled with that, but it all fell apart so spectacularly that I guess people don't really consider DC movies to be connected anymore.
I lowkey prefer that.
Not everything gotta be an extended universe.
I know what you mean.
Of the MCU, I think I've seen Iron Man 1 and 3, Thor 1 and Ragnarok, the first Avengers, Dr. Strange and I'm not sure about anything else.
I've seen all of them besides Captain Marvel and the new Spiderman.
After End Game I was done with it.
Oh, the first Captain America too.
That was a cool thing they did, it was nice while it lasted, but I'm foreseeing it's probably gonna go down hill from here so I'm just gonna jump ship now.
What's the point?
Why make a Black Widow movie now?
'Fuck you Scarjo, everyone else got to come back to life, but you are going to die here and not get to take it back, but as a condolence, how about we finally give you a solo movie?'
Yeah instead of trying to introduce Captain Marvel they shouldn't used that as an opportunity make a Black Widow prequel. Especially considering Cap Marvel released like a few months before End Game and considering what happens to her character in End Game it'd only be fitting.
And even tho seeing women overpower men who would realistically destroy them is kinda annoying I did hear a counter argument to that that has since made me rethink how I feel about it.
Basically it boils down to "It's Fiction so it's fine" which you can't really argue with it.
Batman animated series and Batman beyond are top notch.
It's weird, when I was a kid the Spider Man shoe was my favorite superhero cartoon, but now nothing compares to Batman.
And being rich.
