Why did Amazon put up a billboard for Maintenance Required without having a trailer available for marketing context? It doesn't even have a release date yet. If I wasn't already a fan of Madelaine Petsch & Katy O'Brain I'd have no idea what this was.

That's like saying the world's biggest drunk is a teetotaler. It's a moot point. Being wise enough not to use magic doesn't mean he's a more powerful magic user than others.

#WonderWoman "Mice have ears. Mouse Man knows." would actually be a creepy thing to pepper in occasionally to add suspense about what secrets super-spy Mouse Man overheard. Making it the only thing people in an island dictatorship are allowed to say is idiotic.

If I had a nickel for every time Simon Kinberg wrote an adaptation of "The Dark Phoenix Saga" where Jean Grey doesn't manifest the iconic Phoenix Force power signature despite the prior movie's foreshadowing, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

McFarlane making the SKU's identical for normal & platinum chase releases is frustrating. If Hawkgirl's box hadn't been crushed in transit, they wouldn't have exchanged it because it was the correct SKU. I couldn't just request they replace it with the non-variant version.

It is releasing in my country. I just have to travel further than expected. It might be playing one night only? (The ticketing sites are not forthcoming with info.) So do I inconvenience myself to take advantage of living where it's getting a cinematic release or wait in global solidarity?
