Just made me order a showtime subscription

i don’t like that they removed the sound affects for the title cards on streaming

I saw it in theaters, and was disappointed that it didn't get more hype. It's an awesome movie, and I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves

I watched it with literally zero idea what it was about. Never even saw a commercial or trailer. It blew my balls off.

> disappointed that it didn't get more hype.

I’ve been hearing people ranting and raving about this movie since it came out

Wait what? Why would they do that? Which streaming service?

It’s a natural hype, cos it’s us talking to each other. Instead of manufactured hype that we are shown

Apparently it’s a metaphor for what is happening to the young generation growing up with the internet with them at all times too.

I also watched this movie without any idea what it was going in other than the predominantly Asian cast and the guy who played short round was in it. I was very pleasantly surprised. I can understand why some people wouldn’t like this movie, but after a second watch, this movie is incredibly self aware of what it is trying to do. I think it deserves the accolades it’s getting.

As just one example, this is the first movie I’ve seen that has given a satisfying character arc to a character, Waymond, that essentially doesn’t have one. He is the same man at the end as he was in the beginning, yet it’s arguably the entire anchor of the movie. It’s the evolving perception of him through Evelyn that drives his arc, and I thought it was beautifully done.
