I think the end of new Doctor Who season 2 where Rose gets stuck in the other universe is an example of a good story using the multiverse. It was not easily traversable, which I think is the key to that kind of story.
Too true! This is where they turned away from each film having the humor of its writer/director respectively to having a gotg blueprint for the characters aka marvel humor….
Always hated how in the movies that they killed off great villians, sometimes heros. You never kill off a great villian, it stops them from coming back for revenge which is most stories in the comic books. Mainly because the fans do get attached to them. Also you can skip the endless origin stories about new villians and heros and allows you to get on with the next story with characters the fans love and want to see again. They killed off so many great villians and heros without having any great villians or heros to replace them with. They painted themselves into a corner in what to do next so many times, which lead to poor stories. The multiverse was done just to have an easy cough out for the writers to undo things they have done that seemed permanent and later on regreted doing.
I disagree with the Drinker: they DID plan ahead with Daniel Craig as James Bond. They've always intended to take away his character treats one by one and then kill him off like the sad Beta male they've turned him into and as the ultimate insult have a woman take over. Because, you know, Bond was the patriarchy and the patriarchy had to be demasculated, smashed and replaced by the "strong woman" era.
A Christmas wish: no more multiverse, ever. And He Ty Cavill as Bond. Is that too much to ask Santa??? Merry Christmas Mauler and Drinker, here’s to ‘25’s Open Bar
So if we have to go for a reboot with Bond, which is problematic anyway. I just realised Daniel Craig's were a reboot already. He became a 00 at the start of Casino Royale. Hard to see any other option than the hard reset Drinker mentions. I guess we can only hope it's done well with a great bit of casting for Bond but we have been disappointed so many times before in recent years, so who tf knows?. Merry Christmas and a happy New year to all 🎉 Go away now..
Merry Christmas, gentlemen. I'm confident you'd like ATLA more than MauLer, Drinker, but it is a kids' show, so it's not likely to change your life or anything. It is very good, though, and it tells a complete story in a pretty tidy three seasons.
1:18:00 I grew up with Godzilla films (particularly the "duck billed" version), and I am not a fan of the current Dad Bod version, without the proper roar.
No metal gear solid film or tv. Video games are a superior story telling medium and player interactivity is part of the experience. We are past the point where video games need adaptations to appear legitimate
Lol you two don’t have a clue about the Superman movie & when you have a theory it’s basically man of steel plot. Like what about some original thought or even comic knowledge
Intergalactic is not set in in 1986, the quote at the beginning is from 1986 and is described as ancient text. Suggesting 1986 was thousands of years ago. The 80's style of the fashion and music is apparently explained by you know alternate timeline so we can do whatever we want lol
Merry Christmas to all the unsung heroes here in the comments section
You're all heroes to me.
Merry Christmas Drinker & Mauler! Cheers Gents

27:21 Guardian's of the Galaxy: It is a great film, but Marvel and others learned ALL of the wrong lessons from it. Alternatively: Thor: Ragnarok
Too true! This is where they turned away from each film having the humor of its writer/director respectively to having a gotg blueprint for the characters aka marvel humor….
Merry Christmas Drunkler and Longoid! Happy New Year to all the massives!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Go away now..
I may have watched 5 reviews of that one Picard episode that even Angry Joe gave a O/10 without ever watching the series. 😂
I can't believe how good this turned out!
Open bar ABC!!!
How's the international "roast" going?
1:41:54 Nobody heard about because it was never released in the West because Moscow did unwarranted landgrab in 2014 and got sanctioned
Viy 2: Journey to China, is also relased under the name Iron Mask.
Krypto was in Smallville
Merry Christmas, gentlemen.

10:35 obviously Blain's minigun
1:18:00 I grew up with Godzilla films (particularly the "duck billed" version), and I am not a fan of the current Dad Bod version, without the proper roar.
You said you never seen Krypto on screen Drinker, I'm assuming you forgot about the live action Under Dog movie. Cheers 🥂
1:15:10 A _Doc Savage_ remake...?
Where’s Gundam?!
Enter the spiderverse was the only great multiverse ive watched the second one cliff ending was perfect

Christopher Nolan directing James Bond, boring??

Man of Steel is my favorite Superman movie... so what? Lol do something about it lol
No, we don't care man. Happy holidays
Are you looking forward to the Man of Steel Sequel? Oh, wait.
We can make fun of you if you want
Watch and review berserk, you cowards 😔
Second
25:23 Neither one of them know who Jasnah Kholin is, thus this statement is irrelevant (having fallen on deaf ears). But nice reference. ;)

There's nothing but a teaser trailer to go off, relax bro.
Superman is so obviously going to be shit. Will you never learn?

The ZX-1 is the only correct answer
