• Slant ranks all the Marvel films. I found this interesting because it's a) insane and b) the people they've assigned to write up the movies dont necessarily agree with their ranking in the list so it's weirdly schizophrenic

P.S. NEW POSTER
We'd have made a bigger deal about Maleficent 2 getting a new poster and title but when you dont even include Michelle Pfeiffer on the promotional art we lose interest. The film is now dubbed Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which seems like a weird title since the first film went to such lengths to make the sorceress into the good guy. Also have they given her a pointy shoulder to go with her pointy cheeks. Will anyone in the theaters be safe from the combined glass-cuttingly sharp cheekbones of Angelina & La Pfeiffer?
