    omg, how is this scene still being taken out of context after 10+ years? In the scene mentioned, Tidus, the protagonist of the story, is feeling depressed and Yuna, the summoner who Tidus is guarding, tries to cheer him up. One of her methods is forcing(!) yourself to laugh. It looks ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, heck, the other characters watching the scene think it’s ridiculous and even Yuna herself at some point tells Tidus he should probably stop. The laugh sounds forced, because it is. And intentionally, at that.







  • Yes, that would be one heck of a twist… if they hadn’t revealed Dr. Doom’s identity at Comic-Con. And we don’t even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they’re making, they would have kept RDJ’s involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

    Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:

    • This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
    • Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU’s version of Doom. But that’s just lazy casting.


  • I smell desperation. There’s ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they’re counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won’t help, of course, because bad casting isn’t why people stopped watching. People are superhero’ed out and yet they’re pumping out Marvel shit like there’s no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn’t there, man. Stop.
