LOL... for those of us who didn't watch a lot of of those movies in the 2000s, is this movie at least enjoyable in a trainwrecky, crackfic kind of way? Asking for a friend!

It’s a lot like being a Transformers fan. There’s some good stuff there, as long as you’re willing to accept that it all exists To Sell Waifus: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/To_sell_toys

Yeah but I'm even more allergic to waifu stuff than I am to gacha stuff unfortunately

I don't know about the gatcha side of things. But I think there are a few key reasons that MTG fans accept bans.

One, MTG players basically buy into the idea of having balanced competitive environments. MTG players generally don't want to play in degenerate formats, so the idea that some cards need to be banned to prevent those kinds of formats is acceptable to them.

Two, WOTC takes affordability into account when banning cards. They'll try to shape their bans in a way that preserves the secondary market value of cards as much as possible. In fact, WOTC is generally very aware of secondary market values across the board and is very committed to preserving them. It's a major factor in what cards they print as well.

Three, MTG fans generally seem to think that WOTC tries to avoid printing cards that will need to be banned, and isn't taking advantage of them by pushing power cards that they know will be a problem and then banning them later. This is wrong, IMO - WOTC isn't actually acting in good faith. But MTG players generally think they are. At least, that's what they thought when I stopped paying attention to MTG 3 or 4 years ago.

OP here. I am completely incapable of neutrality. I love this movie. I had a blast. Each little side character had a cute little arc and I love it. The bear was CGI'd well. The costuming was nice. The child actors were great.

I feel like Rodger Ebert about the Mummy: "There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the [bear], but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it." Except I am not so impartial and it's not as good as The Mummy.

I would say don't pay full price (or sneak in a couple of shots) if you don't love goofy creature-features.

You really hit me in the feels, OP, you truly did.

I often feel the same...

Waifus and blorbos and fanfic fodder, oh my!

Italian American tiny me adored cartoons of all kinds and the Sesame Street Muppets.

A few years later, I learned how to serve myself cold cereal and milk. Saturdays were phenomenal.

Cartoons have been truly epic for me ever since.

Hahaha, thank you. I may give it a try because I could use a laugh.

That sounds so chill and nice.
