Who do you think will be the big bad of the mutant saga? And why/how?
ok so with *Avengers: Doomsday* coming up soon and Dr. Doom already being the big bad of this whole saga or whatever, i’ve been kinda thinking about what’s gonna happen after that. like what’s next, yk? especially with the mutant saga that’s coming, i feel like marvel’s gonna want to go even bigger or just different. most people are probably thinking it’s gonna be magneto or apocalypse or some classic x-men villain like that, but idk, i got this feeling it might actually be mephisto. like i know it sounds kinda crazy but think about it—he’s this demon guy who could totally be manipulating everything behind the scenes and no one would even know. he could be feeding off all the chaos and pain that comes with mutants being hated and feared and stuff. it just makes sense in a weird way, especially since marvel’s been teasing more magic and creepy stuff lately. idk it would just be really wild if they saved mephisto for something that big.

What movie has the best fight choreography?
An obvious one would be both Raid movies but I’m curious what other movies have fight choreography so intense and hard hitting it blew you away. A few movies I think deserve to be in the conversation: 13 Assassins, I Saw the Devil, Upgrade (fight choreography is unique) and The Night Comes for Us.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be an action movie, you can include a horror if you think it has a fight sequence worth mentioning.

Why I dislike the reinserted Jabba scene in A New Hope
"There is no terror in the bang, only in anticipation of it". - Alfred Hitchcock
Hitchcock understood that what the audience imagines is often more powerful than anything you can show. That’s why I think putting the Jabba scene back into A New Hope was a mistake—no matter how good the CGI Jabba got.
Filmmakers, like any artists, can get fixated on details that feel essential to them but don't actually matter—or even register—for the audience. What’s interesting is that the updated Greedo scene does a better job selling the danger of Jabba’s bounty, and it does it by leaving Jabba himself to the imagination.
As a kid, having to wait in suspense until the third film to finally see this gangster Jabba—who’d been looming over Han for two whole movies—was an unforgettable payoff. It was a buildup you could only experience once.
Anyway, that’s just how I see it. I’m sure plenty of people would disagree, but I think there’s an objective storytelling principle at play—one that Lucas stumbled into out of budget constraints, but that ended up serving the story better than his original idea. Any artist knows this kind of thing happens all the time. The real skill is in recognizing when the limitation actually made the work stronger.
