Anyone living in New York going to this?
The New York Philharmonic will be presenting Black Panther in Concert, where they’ll be playing the movie Black Panther and the score will be played LIVE by the Phil and Special Guests.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic has done this sort of thing at the Hollywood Bowl, and I believe at Disney Concert Hall as well.
Anyway, you know how I feel about the score.
This is happening Dec 20-23 2023.
I’m already jealous of anyone who gets to go to this concert.
(Kinda wishing they’d do this at the Hollywood Bowl. I’d maybe do a road trip)

Now that I'm older, every time some form of media is adapted in a new format (book to movie, videogame to tv series, animation to live action, etc.) I always take the criticisms of it with a grain of salt because I feel like what it means to adapt successfully means something different to everyone.
I always feel like people want an exact 1:1 adaptation but fail to realize the nuance that comes with each form of adaptation. Sure you can break every piece of media down by like, setting, character, and plot, or specific story beats or even down to specific physical details but people fail to realize how this is going to read to the consumer across different forms.
Scenes that are in a first person point of view in say, a book, are going to read different than a scene of a movie, which similar to a play or show on a stage need to be designed in a way the consumer can digest.
In a book, you can slowly be fed information as it is deemed necessary to the story. Details can be intentionally left out, leading to inaccurate judgements that can snowball into larger consequences. With movies or television, as soon as you see the scene or characters, you're seeing them as the whole bigger picture. The details are either there or they aren't, a faster judgment can be made, more meaning can be inferred by visuals, so a character's motivation becomes more of a driving point. A plot element intentionally left out in a book, can alienate the consumer if not properly handled in a movie or television setting, and part of adapting that piece of media is ensuring it's done properly, and I feel like people don't understand that. The art of adaptation is how consistent purpose can be conveyed while adhering to the rules of the established media.
It seems people just want, "the same thing" as a book, tv show, or a movie, videogame, comic, animated version, or in a live action version and it just Doesn't Work Like That.
Each form of media has their own rules of what 'works' and a good story will utilize those unique aspects of that form of media to tell the story; but the method of how that story is told has to change in order for it to be a successful adaptation.

Steven Yeun will not be suiting up for Thunderbolts, the antihero-centric feature in the works from Marvel Studios, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
...Like many tentpoles, Thunderbolts was struck by last year’s dual writers and actors strikes, which put schedules in disarray across Hollywood. Thunderbolts was initially slated for July 2024, but was pushed back a year to July 2025 and has yet to begin filming.

hey! so, i recently realised that not everybody who is actively engaged in the fandom is automatically familiar with all other projects related to mcu actors (eg. knives out, oppenheimer, asteroid city) and i wanted to see how many of us are introduced to and consume new media because of the mcu actors we like.
this question refers specifically to new media/recent media that came out after you witnessed their acting glory in the mcu, so that one week where you binged all of rdj's old films doesn't count (sorry, peter wright).
if you're a mcu actor reading this and the poll results are in your favour, you're hereby allowed to use this as negotiating material for your next project. you're welcome.
