It was a decent Highlander-ish update. But it felt off at times. - Inigo Dec 2, 07:51 2
- Yeah, it was... fine. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 07:52 1
  - Yeah, "fine" is a better way to put it. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:54
Uhm, I wouldn't go *that* far. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:43 13
- remember, it is 2020; so a netflix movie with 77 million views does kind of redefine what a blockbuster is compared to regular BO dollars -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 07:45 12
  - Ah, I read it as in the make-up of the movie, not the form. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:51
  - Regardless of viewers it was better than anything Marvel has done in years. -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 07:50 10
    - *snork*. Just like comics, there are a lot of different types, and that is a good thing. It was good for what it was. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:53
    - When did you decide to turn villain? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 07:52 8
      - Turn? I've been very vocal Marvel has been extremely overrated. But it's something no one wants to admit because everyone "has to like them" - MDH Dec 2, 07:54 7
        
        I might be with on this somewhat, but when you talk up Old Guard like it's something amazing or new, you lose me. - Inigo Dec 2, 08:14
        
        Yep.. -- nm - Marlowe Dec 2, 08:09
        
        Thor: Ragnarok was a lot of fun - Krusty Dec 2, 08:02 3
        
        Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Ragnarok, Ant-man, Cap 2 are all very different movies from what people argue are "typical Marvel". -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:41 1
        
        mos def -- nm - mud Dec 2, 09:02
        
        That wasn't bad actually. -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 08:32
        
        You nailed it. I only like them because I have been told to. I guess I have yet to get an email telling me to like The Old Guard. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:59
Watched it the other day, and loved it. -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 07:35 2
- agreed. hope they do a sequel (or even a prequel or three) -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 07:36 1
  - *puts on list to watch* -- nm - VMan Dec 2, 07:50
