The first few episodes were fun and character-driven. Then the show remembered it was an MCU show, so they introduced a half-baked villain so they can have a bad CGI final battle.

Looks looks a fun popcorn movie.
Ah, yes. The code word for “it’s gonna suck balls”.
As opposed to actual fun popcorn movies like Guardians or Ragnarok that never get called that.
Intergalactic is pretty overused in movie trailers, but that was the shittiest take on the song I’ve ever heard. It’s barely recognizable.
Ebert had other reviewers on his website before he passed. The ones that are still running the site have high standards that, I think, carry on the legacy of Ebert’s thoughtful, approachable movie criticism. I’m glad the website is still going in the age of review aggregators and social media hot takes.
He’s not warning of AI controlling nuclear weapons. He’s speaking of the development of nuclear weapons as a cautionary tale that applies to the current development of AI: that, like the scientists who built the bomb, current AI researchers might one day wake up terrified of what they have created.
Whether current so-called AI is intelligent (I agree with you it isn’t by most definitions of the world) doesn’t preclude the possibility that the technology might cause irreparable harm. I mean, looking at how Facebook algorithms have zeroed in on outrage as a driving factor of engagement, it’s easy to argue that the algorithmic approach to content delivery has already caused serious societal damage.
My worry about this one is that it’s gonna be all setup and no payoff for the big movie event Disney has planned for the “Mandoverse.” Kind of like Loki was fantastic until it turned into a preview of things to come.
Fans: “Oh my God, they combined the classic late 1997 comicbook look with some U.S. Rangers shoulder pads. This is so bold yet classical at the same time.”
Me: “Yes, that’s Deadpool.”
It’s a movie based on the true story of someone who was good enough at Gran Turismo he got a shot at becoming a race car driver. It’s a movie based on a story about the game and not on the game itself.
