Vox's critique of the MCU may feel empty, but at least it's not as hollow as my bank account after buying all those movie tickets. Time to start a GoFundMe for my Marvel addiction.

Our Commentary

After watching this video, I'm starting to question every plot hole I've ever encountered in movies. Maybe they're just alternate dimensions leaking through...or maybe I'm just overthinking everything. Time to rewatch The Incredibles with a whole new perspective.

The Rise of Skywalker is like that awkward family reunion where everyone's trying too hard to impress each other, but it just ends up being cringeworthy. You'll need a lot more than just a lightsaber to fix this mess.

Screen Rant's definition of "right" definitely takes a dark turn when discussing child-murdering villains. I guess morality is subjective, but yikes.
