With a filmography that ranges from indie dramas like George Washington and Joe to comedies like Pineapple Express and Your Highness, the career of David Gordon Green didn’t exactly hold much precedent for the slasher movie territory he ventured into with Halloween.

It’s long been understood that next year’s Avengers: Endgame will mark the end of an era for the MCU, serving as the culmination point for the first twenty-two films in the saga, while passing the torch to a new generation of heroes. Nonetheless, it seems that a lot of fans aren’t yet ready to let go of their old favorites, and in the wake of the latest reaffirmation that Robert Downy Jr.’s contract is set to expire, social media has yielded some frighteningly intense responses.
As anyone who stuck around for the mid-credits scenes of Deadpool 2 will be able to tell you, Ryan Reynolds doesn’t think too highly of his one-film run as Green Lantern, but just as the Merc with a Mouth got off to a bad start with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, part of you may wonder what could’ve been if the 2011 Hal Jordan had been given another chance.

After last year’s Transformers: The Last Knight saw a commercial dip for this once monstrously successful franchise, the new Bumblebee has offered an alternative take on the series that continues to draw the praise and attention of critics and filmgoers who’d previously shown little affection for Michael Bay’s overblown spectacles.
