D23 honestly lowered my hopes for The Incredibles 3

I get why they don't want to age up the kids, but oh my gosh, the plot reveal that the kids take center stage and try to prove that they can be heroes again?? They literally did it perfectly in the first movie. So much so that the whole family all very confidently reveal their supersuits at the end of the first movie together. Then suddenly in 2, Helen isn't sure that the kids should be doing superhero work, but they'd already proved themselves on Nomanisan and in the city against the Omnidroid, but in 2 they have to prove they can be heroes and the second movie ends with the family confidently revealing their supersuits together again, just like in 1. And now we're just doing that a third time?

If they'd age the kids even just a bit, could have Violet struggling with the end of high school and starting college and a new life as a semi solo hero, Dash could be going through the start of his freshman year, beginning puberty, tackling his ego and popularity as an athlete but being forced to slow up and hold himself back all the time, and Jack Jack could have something really interesting with the struggle of having to keep his powers a secret at a younger, far less mature and understanding age. How does a toddler deal with superpowers and keeping them hidden from peers? Could've been such an interesting storyline to tackle, but now we have the kids being forced to prove themselves again in a series that begins and ends back to back in each installment. They're literally proving themselves every other week

*Four* of them in the water at the river

Went to the river with friends and the second we got in, I immediately see somebody setting up their cretin with its stupid fake ESA vest, the kind anybody and their delusional cousin can buy off Amazon. Of course it's a bright pink one and the owner is acting intentionally exaggerated and cutesy with it, most definitely to draw attention to themselves. That was whatever, crappy start but we got to float away. Except shortly after that, there was a worse offender, this wretched stain was being coddled by the owner in a float that did not support the two of them, this dog was huge and hairy as hell, of course she is giving this foul mouthed cunt kisses on the mouth. Who knows how much yucky river water that fucker slobbered up before spreading disease straight into the owner's mouth. Midway through, we get along these houses/apartment areas next to the river and there's this guy that absolutely was 100% intentional in his actions, he was playing loud fuckass country music on the dock area and let his two bigass fuckers into the water, and far into it. He then proceeds to run up a higher part of the island and starts throwing food or some shit to the mangy freaks, of course landing to where the monsters will splash and disturb anybody near where the shit was thrown. Fucking annoying. And they were all big mutts too, big and hairy and a waste of my mood. You genuinely can't even be in the middle of a river with rapids in it without escaping these stupid sorry excuses of a living being

Notes and Observations (The Batman Project)

Wednesday, July 15th.

The DC and comic social media sites are crowded with the delay announcements.. even with the hype of the first look teaser. Hidden in the discussion is the pain of another delay.. striking the heart like snakes.. but the hype is there too. Building.

Four years of waiting have turned me into an inpatient animal. But when a new Matt Reeves post hits the screen.. it's not just excitement.. it's hope for good news

Almost like he's a fucking campy comic book superhero with a good heart!! How damn edgy can you be jeezus

Why do we need this flying, indestructible, kindhearted, honest alien to be realistic? Isn't that what comics and movies and superheros are for?? To be an escape from the shitty horrors of our own world? Why does every characteristic trait of this character need to be stripped away for this adaptation, wouldn't it be more interesting to see an honest-to-God good person try to do the right thing instead of edgelord Aruaman that we ended up with

(Going with this flair because that's how I got banned from DC Cinematic thus unable to engage in the conversation there)

A lot of people's biggest issue with Crystal Skull is the use of otherworldly beings. If you were to change the macguffin while keeping the story the same, what would you make it?

Amazon sent the wrong figure and offered a free replacement, sent the wrong one again

I ordered an SH Figuarts Stormtrooper on Amazon and paid SHF prices, then this Black Series Stormtrooper shows up. Tried to do the return and they sent a, supposedly correct, replacement. Just for another Black Series to show up

What exactly does Batman see here?

It's not the tucker prying tool because that was shown earlier, but whatever this imprint is, it prompted Gordon to tell Batman that the mayor's son was the one that found him. This part always confused me because I just can't make it out
