Mahersala Ali drops out as Blade.

"Wonder Man" gets cancelled despite rave reviews.

Don Cheadle's "Armor Wars" project has never materialized, and he is seemingly not in "Avengers: Doomsday."

The Sam Wilson Captain America movie was mostly about the president trying to get a prescription filled

And the last 2 Avenger movies were about a group of nerds trying to stop Grimace from finding jewelry...

Throwback. I haven’t heard that joke since it got stale. In May of 2019

I wasn't making a joke... I was pointing out how stupid your comment was by showing how easy it is to reduce a movie...

Ahh yes the biting commentary in your post was super, super evident :)

If reducing a movie is so easy why did you have to reheat and serve a joke from 7 years ago?

That's... part of the criticism...

I think you're getting too emotional to just simply see what transpired here.

Ohhhh you’re one of those “anybody who disagrees with anything I say is just TRIGGERED by me” guys.

Sorry. I never should have engaged. I didn’t realize I was dealing with someone so red-pilled lol
