A movie written by a board of directors. They even did a 5 minute fuck you 20th Century Fox segment to drive home the point that they now have a monopoly on almost all comic book franchises ever created.

The most dystopian fact of all: The whole multiverse concept ends up being nothing more than the manifestation of legal trademark disputes as explained by comic book world-building.

Utterly devoid of creative flair, using cheap cameos and inside jokes as the fulcrum with which the whole movie hinges. 🥱

What about actual purchases instead of rentals?

Is it even possible to truely purchase anything digital these days?

That was kind of my point. I’m pretty sure buying a movie physically is the only way to actually own it. Everything else is just a long term license rental.

Does the theater even get an actual reel anymore, or is it just an encrypted file server using an evil amount of proprietary software?
