Not a flash game! But its on Steam for a few euros I think.Ah, yes, Steam. A deep, rich well of enjoyable, lovable crap and the occasional diamond in the rough.
I haven't seen the film yet, but I would like to.Right, I forgot every place doesn't have an open theater yet.
I do have a subscription to Disney+, so soon hopefully.
I finally got around to watching this, I enjoy the stylistic callbacks to different eras of sitcoms, and the storyline is very well-done in how it slowly delivers just enough info to keep the viewer hooked and add mystery and complications to the situation while keeping the true nature of the core premise opaque.It's less self-contained than you might think. This series is actually part of a "Multiverse Trilogy" comprised of Wandavision, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and the as-of-yet Untitled Spider-Man 3. The ending of Wandavision leads directly into the next Doctor Strange movie, which Wanda is also one of the lead characters in.
My only personal criticism, and it's a weird one, is that the superhero setting and the Marvel universe in general don't add much to the experience, and mostly distract from what would otherwise have been an excellent standalone story. I would have preferred it be an entirely orignal series, it would have added a lot more opportunity for discovering who the two protagonists really are and their relation to the real world. It's hard for me to make my point here because it would involve posting and discussing massive spoilers, but things like the protagonists having special powers, the status of whether the husband is alive or dead, even the reveal that there IS a world outside the sitcom, could all have been additional twists instead of things we took for granted going in because it's Marvel.
I totally understand the show would never have happened without the Marvel green light, but the pre-existing universe still felt like something the writers struggled to integrate rather than a fundamental part of the narrative arc, mostly because they kept needing to shoehorn in "as you know" segments and clumsily explain any references/callbacks to things the viewers might not have seen already. The story is already 95% contained, and it could have been all that tighter without the extracurricular baggage.
Yeah, while personally I don't go to the theatre too often, I still like it and would not want it to go away.Yes, I like to have options. And besides, if everything goes to Streaming, it'll be real easy for the companies to censor and ban works they deem "politically unaccaptable".
If there is one thing I can admire about Classic Disney, it's the quality of their creations. Even if I end up hating it for one reason or another, I have to give them credit for all the hard work they put into it. There's no denying that Classic Disney knew what they were doing. Even when they went into Experimental Territory, they did a good job. It's part of what made their Classic Movies Timeless. It's part of why so many people love Classic Disney, even to this day.Oh, yes. Like I said in the OP, a lot of their stuff holds up on a technical level more than more recent animated works. It's insane how they perfected the technique even before other people perfected the technology.
I agree! The animation in Fantasia was gorgeous, not to mention the backgrounds from Bambi. As much as I love 3D animation, I have to admit that 2D animation just hits different.You wouldn't a scene with a bunch of mushrooms dancing would be so entertaining, but it is. And it of course "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is the essential Mickey Mouse short.
I'm a bit more skeptical on it. Mainly that they will dumb down the humor the original was known for.I know so many people who thinks that's what is going to happen.
