Hidden strike
A movie that initially tried to take itself too seriously in the beginning and then said fvck it and went how we expected it to go.

I enjoyed the bloopers as always, Jackie is a living legend.

Cena has always been a werey but the blooper where he was talking about Jackie's daughter took me tf out 😂😂

Anny69:

Yes

ErenXSatoru:

Fushiguro Toji is whoever tf he thinks he is

Lazy°°

Smart!

Honestly, if I survived a blade to the head and unlocked a whole new level of power, I'd be quoting Buddha too.

Weekend Watch List

- Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)

Finally getting around to watching the latest entry in my favourite Hollywood mecha franchise.

- Hidden Strike (2023)

No way I'm missing out on a Jackie Chan x Jong Xina collabo

Let's wrap it up.

BronzeTiger:
NWH made more bank and introduced the multiverse in a fun way. Is it even easy to bring three different iterations of spiderman to mesh them into cinematic genius. What was even special in the dark knight except ledger's performance? The batman didn't look imposing. I even prefer dark knight rises to that.

See as this manny just dey set NWH up for drags

Gidah:
I finished hunter x hunter so so lovely anime . Been trying demon slayer not really feeling it like I did with hunter x hunter .any suggestions of good anime that's on netflix .

- Yu Yu Hakusho
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventures (They don't have Part 5: Golden Wind, though)
- Monster
- Princess Mononoke

They should go back to the former animation style if they can't improve abeg.
This one was like listening to cork scraping on cement 😖

Be like old style don too cost. This new style is definitely cheap asf

IngeniousLeez:
That Warworld got the most stupid animation I've seen in a long time.
MK direct to streaming movies always have a weird way of having better animation than DC projects by a mile.

Different animation teams. The team wey dey animate Tomorrowverse be like say na IT students

The legend of Johnny Cage coming soon. Is that big hat lady supposed to be Ashrah?

My Tomorrowverse list keeps growing

Born2Freak:
The answer is in the title.

This is a short movie from the series.

It's a episode special on Atom Eve, not a movie.

ConfluenceTrade:
Nah... Not too much... I'll check it out... Tnx

Also, if you can check out the first 50 episodes of Naruto and see if you'll like it. Fillers won't be an issue till episode 100 and, if you're still interested, I'll walk you through the fillers.

ConfluenceTrade:
Thanks.. I really appreciate... I'll let it go... The filter part will make it complicated for me... Just looking for any action packed series that is completely done... So I can download all the episodes at once

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Unless 64 episodes is also too much for you

ConfluenceTrade:
Afternoon, as a fan of action series and movies... I think I've watched almost all the action series available... I mean the finished action series... Because I don't like to watch some episodes and then wait for few weeks or months waiting for the next episode to come out... So I've watched literally every action series including the Korea series... Just busy asking people around to recommend a action series to download and someone mentioned NARUTO.. Firstly it's animation... I've never watched anything animation before... Secondly the episode is over 700..
The first Naruto of the year 2002 is around 200 episodes... The second Naruto which is Naruto shippuden is around 500 episodes... Kinda weird and long... But I believe some people here might have watched everything... Please i just want some reviews on it.... Before I start burning data on over 700 episodes animation series... Tnx

It's a great show but, as was common with long running shows of its era, it's riddled with filler episodes (episodes that aren't really part of the main story).

You'll need a filler guide to navigate through, if you decide to watch it.

Now, the major thing with long running shows is that as long as you really enjoy them, you'll end up not minding the number of episodes.
If you somehow get to episode 50 and you're still not enjoying Naruto yet, you should probably drop it.

Asteroid City 7.5/10

Can now relate to the sentiment of "If you've seen one Wes Anderson movie, you've seen them all". This felt like another chapter in The French Dispatch but with a different theme and setting. I'm not mad about it. It's well on brand for creators to use a familiar storytelling style. Add to that the fact that Mr Anderson knows how to utilize this style fully to serve his intentions.

Asteroid City's major theme revolves around transition. It's a story within a story that features a coming-of-age subplot, a short romance subplot and dealing with grief, to name some.

This didn't really connect with me like The French Dispatch did. It's still a pretty good movie but not one I'd recommend to someone who's skeptical about watching it.

No mind am
And then maybe switch roles; na Helen of Troy kidnap Paris for love and not the other way round cos she is strong and independent

Or Helen go fight her husband by herself because she doesn't need a man to save her

The way Netflix likes to sneak new seasons of The Dragon Prince on me. And I dey already expect new season of Harley Quinn. Na to schedule this one for Christmas.

abduleez1:
Watched....

Warrior: premium premium episode.... Young Jun getting dominated by that German ho£ was really trippy....

JJK episode 3 was holy damn brutal. Person finally brutalized Gojo. 😭😭 Anyways my man's coming back real hard next episode. How Geto keeps up will be interesting.

Rorouni Kenshin:
Nice episode tho, it's actually weird with the way Hittokiri always talk with affirmative response at the end of all his speech.

Yes I am... That it is... Yes it was.... That you are
This werey was getting on my nerves in episode 2. Tho it's not looking as weird as before.

Domina episode 4 next......

Young Jun say na spiritual experience 😂🤣

Illusioneffect:
There are so many different levels of wokeism and you know that. Take Little Mermaid for example - it was woke but it didnt go overboard - Bro, the whole plot of the movie is effing about destroying masculinity, they werent hiding it in any way.

So we've gone from "they were hiding it" to "they weren't hiding it". Talk about coming full circle 😂🤣😂

Calibrator:
The Trojan war is a Greek mythological event loosely based on the Homer's Illiad so unless the people you mentioned live under a rock somewhere in another planet..... The movie can be made anytime, any era and it will be a success.

Until them cast Michael B. Jordan as Achilles and Gemma Chan as Helen of Troy

[quote author=nani667 post=124612971][/quote]Love to see My Happy Marriage being massively appreciated by the community.

This Barbienheimer effect sha. We'll suffer for the next few cinema cycles.

Illusioneffect:
Like i said before, Barbie is a feminist already; the movie was just straight out scary - it was too much bro; the end of the movie was so stupid - I thought this feminists were asking for equality (which is stupid in its own way) but now their agenda is to tell everyone masculinity is bad, men are evil and women should be in control.
Also, the feminist angle wasn't mentioned at all in the ads there were displaying everywhere - they hid it till the end - everyone thought the movie would be a fun movie, who would have thought Ken was just stupid and had no sense (everyone always thought Ken was Barbie's girlfriend). In the movie, all the Barbies had a Ken and they werent love interests - then what were they- slaves or what? The fact that a guy would come out of that movie and say great movie is so absurd and shows how we all have grown without thinking straight

You are allowed to have whatever opinion you want about the movie but this claim that y'all didn't know the movie was going to be woke or they hid some agenda from you na fugazi.

Studio no go reveal plot twist to you for trailer just because you fit accuse them of "agenda". There was enough in the trailers to know the movie would be a feminist movie and Ken was portrayed as stupid but adorable in his promotion spots.

Illusioneffect:
What the hell are you saying? HOTD never had any agenda plus it is not a show meant for kids, it isn't indoctrinating anybody. The Barbie movie is dangerously woke, that's why they kept their agenda out of advertising. Muslim and other folks with real life sense will go into the movie thinking it would be a fun watch not knowing it would be a vomit. I regret paying to watch this shit

Anybody claiming they didn't know Barbie would be woke is either lying to themselves or probably can't identify the "woke" themes they claim to have an issue with, until social media tells them.

Weekend Movie

- The Flash (2023)

Time to get nuts.

SOZINN:
How audacious of you to ignore budget analysis in your post about expressing cultural preferences. Well, if you're going to make movies with only domestic audiences in mind, you better make money while you're at it because without money, you won't be able to express your cultural preferences. You obviously missed the part where I mentioned making a movie with an approximate $350 million total budget or more, but allow me to clarify things for you now.

Everything falls within a range. When working with a moderate budget, it may be safe to produce films with specific social or political messages but not with a huge one. This is because you stand to lose if the domestic financial contribution and weak international revenue are insufficient to turn a profit. Your investors will pull the plug if you consistently ask for large budgets to express your cultural preferences and those films consistently turn a loss.

No matter how imaginative or culturally appealing your ideas may be, they will be thrown in the trash because no one has any money to throw into a wormhole. Consider the Sound of Freedom for example. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this movie. It had a strong domestic theatrical run, and only made about $1 internationally but the movie is still regarded as a success due to its very modest budget. You should probably research about how Hollywood movie censorship in Asian nations has impacted the diversity of Hollywood films and the freedom of expression in the film industry by making various creators to adopt self censorship.

It's a major issue, and I am not surprised by it given the fact that everyone wants to succeed financially. It all comes down to editing your work to improve your chances of engagement from a larger audience and thereby increase your potential financial gain. The majority of comic book movies and other movies in general are known to undergo multiple edits to lessen the gore in their movies so that viewers between the ages of 13 and 17 can also watch them. The likelihood of making more money is increased by this. The number of major Hollywood films that were either banned or received little to no box office receipts in nations like China and other Asian nations because they were "woke" or contained LGBTQ scenes is reportedly quite high, but I really can't tell you the exact percentage.

I'm not ignoring budget analysis. If falls back to the whole "pushing an agenda" accusation. Most movies all have an agenda to push. Top Gun: Maverick with a $300m budget wasn't even allowed to play in China. While The Little Mermaid was allowed to play even if it ended up not doing well there.
Was Maverick more woke than TLM?
How come Black Panther with all its wokeness did very well in China?

Nobody's asking for large budgets to express their cultural differences. What does this even mean?

Again, yes, there are Hollywood movies that were banned in China because they were "woke". But then there are also "woke" Hollywood movies that aired and even did successfully in China. Meanwhile there's non-woke Hollywood movies that were also banned or flopped in China and the international market.

The "wokeness" allegations are never sticking, bruv. They'll just remain a YouTube/blog market until people eventually get tired of it.

abduleez1:
Omo, those Asaemon, almost all of them story is GOATED. Even the dumb giant criminal "Giant of Bizen", just 1 minute throwback of his childhood gave serious depth to that character.
What of the two brothers, the one eyed one and his kid bro. That former Tensen girl Mei, her backstory was tragic.
Even the fat dude with glasses was peak and emotional.


It's the PEAK of Jigokuraku that makes the first two episodes of JJK S2 look mid to me.

But you don see JJK episode 3?

abduleez1:
I don't want Dororo.


They should give me Dorohedoro S2.
I need that show in my life. Caiman mystery must be solved. That peak martial arts and brutal fights is peak..

All we are saying, "Give us more Noi and Nikaido"
