Headed to see Dune 2

There's a NEW Aquaman movie???

Its sad cause some of the DC movies are actually pretty good, but now it seems like they've just given up and are making B movies

And not the good B movies...

DC Animated Films >>>> MCU >> DC live action films.

@Lyander, any recommendations?

@Case Honestly I'm much less attuned to western comics than I am to Japanese manga and such (I know, I know) but there are lots of standalone films that jusst work even if you only have a vague idea of the characters like Justice League: WAR, JL: Dark, Batman: Year One and Batman: Gotham Knight. The Flashpoint Paradox adaptation is good too.

Mind it won't be GREAT cinema, but I at least like em more than MCU.

@SoupRKnowva After seeing The Flash I’d say they’ve decided to make F movies. Complete garbage.

When did Asians go on ice?

New to Anime, so far Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man. Heard Attack on Titan went off the rails.

@Case Random bits that I think are good for folk new to anime: ERASED, Trigun (the 90s one, haven't seen Netflix adaptation), Monster, Kino's Journey. Just stuff off the top of my head, there are much better ones I just can't recall right now, I am certain. Jojo's Bizzare Adventure is a whole cultural movement. Random stuff like Nichijou or Arakawa Under the Bridge could work for weird humour.

Thank you!

attack on titan has its moments. but it depends on what you're looking for genre wise tbh. My favorite anime ever is still Fate/Zero, which I do think is good even for newcomers as its lighter on tropes and is more serious, its something I could envision being on HBO if they carried anime. otherwise do you want action? mechs? slice of life/coming of age stuff? etc

Not anime at all but Scavengers Reign on Max is top tier animated sci fi.

I saw this latest remake of Dune on Netflix recently and after reading the reviews here when it came out I decided to wait until it was "free" on stream. Thanks to SBAF, my expectations were kept at appropriate level! I think I will stick with what is working and wait until Dune2 is on Netflix to catch it ;)

I have slightly higher hopes for Dune pt 2 because that half of the book is where most of the stuff actually happens and it looks like it will be less focused solely on Paul.

Did you like Dune 2 more than you liked Dune 1 Marv?

Def better, but trails off toward the end. It's tough material to get right on the screen.
