how can you see underwater
>>105474309Valerian didn't fundamentally misunderstand the medium in which it is set
the deserts felt like deserts, the space stations felt like space stations, the underwater scenes felt like they were underwater
Aquaman felt like they'd been greenscreened just to give them a bit of floaty hair
>>105474259Mary Poppins is the first sequel to a much-loved old film that any older person is going to have an opinion on and probably good memories of, not the sixth movie in a frankly awful series of movies beloved by literally nobody who works in film; you bet your ass people were waiting for that one and knew exactly when it was due out
the Oscars aren't voted on by teens, you have to be an academy member, which means you need a serious background in filmmaking, which tends to skew toward older members, who just as with anybody else will tend to make time for sequels to things they like, which in their case will tend to be older movies
Ben Affleck for example is an academy member (as are most multiple oscar winners still living); which movie do you think he would go see with the kids over the holidays, given the opportunity: Aquaman, or Mary Poppins Returns?
