Yeah, I really liked that scene, though I'm kinda iffy about everyone being so spring-loaded at a moment's notice, especially while drunk.  Apparently, those beers were spiked with IDGAF juice mixed with "I hope a MF would" pills.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I liked Guardians III. The mob is cool when they can't get along. Rocket finally got his backstory.

Ant Man III Quantumania was pretty good. In my mind, better than anything since the final episode of Infinity Wars, but the quantum realm created by Disney wasn't like any quantum realm I've ever heard of. But the movie did have the Marvel feel from back when Stan Lee was still around.

I've heard such conflicting opinions about this movie. I haven't been keeping up with MCU stuff lately. It's just way too much. I hear they're going to slowing down with that stuff now, which is a relief. Quality over quantity would be nice.

Not a fan of any Antman movie. I'll give it a shot when it's free-ish.

*coughs in Wakanda Forever and Multiverse of Madness and the third Spider-Man movie* but yeah, it's definitely better than most.

Which quantum realms have you heard of?  Because this is the only movie I can recall to explore the sub-sub-atomic.  I agree that a LOT of artistic license was taken, but since we have very little idea what's going on at that level, it's a fertile area for wild speculation and just throwing spaghetti at the wall, so to speak.

But the movie did have the Marvel feel from back when Stan Lee was still around.

Agreed.

My Little Mermaid

Of course, the cartoon version is a classic and nothing can compare, so I won't.  The live action version was decently-made and followed the cartoon very closely, I think.  It's been a while since I've seen the cartoon.  I think the only huge deviation is that we see husbando Eric's family and learn a lot more about him.  I don't remember his backstory being fleshed out in the cartoon.  Flounder was pretty fuggly-looking in the live action.  Sebastian was okay, but not as expressive as his cartoon version.

As far as acting, Ursala and King Triton really steal the show.  Especially Ursala.  Holy moley, they're acting their hearts out for a movie that will probably get buried under successive remakes.

Ngl, one scene had me reacting like this:



All in all, I'd say it's a fun time.

And before I forget about the "controversy", yes Ariel is black in this one.  Roughly 50% of the cast is black.  My personal headcanon is that this island is located somewhere in the Caribbean (as opposed to near Denmark in the cartoon) so the racial composition makes logical sense.  There are tons of tropical species present, manatees, the weather seems warm, the water is crystal clear and not particularly cold, etc.  Lots of circumstantial evidence pointing in that direction, imo.

I think they made Ariel black knowing it would stir up controversy. It's free advertising. The people who hate the Disney remake movies anyway will complain, spreading the word, and people who like the movies will hear about it and go see it. Some will go see it BECAUSE they know the racists hate it.

I don't care either way. I've been over this Disney remake era for a long time. Even if Ariel looked exactly like her animated counterpart, I still wouldn't go see it. I'd be more interested in seeing it if it were based on the original story instead.
