I only started joining in with the MCU rankings which i was very into and excited about, but I'm not sure the outcome matched my expectations. I was expecting a lot of discussion of opinions, but it was no discussion for the watch period, then when it was compiled, 30 write ups of a movie would be posted each day. There would be some discussion about each movie, but it was usually only about a couple points about the movie, and it seemed very clear to me that most people weren't actually reading most write ups. And then the next day would come and it would be another giant dump as we move on to the next movie. It seems like a lot of effort of watching all these movies and writing about them for not that much actual interaction? It seemed like most hype was just about seeing what placed where, not really about what people were actually saying in their reviews. Now here we are and it seems like the list of movies was assigned 3 months ago, and now Stifled is checking in to make sure we did our pandemic homework... we all forgot about it. Which kinda sucks because Stifled probably put a decent amount of work into coming up with this list and was excited about it, but here it is. I wonder if this would be more engaging if during the watch period we actually just informally gave our thoughts as we watch these movies and discuss them along the way? It "gives away" what the comments are going to be in the final rankings and might making the rankings more expected, but maybe this would just make a more fun experience and keep people engaged for the watch period and participating. How has this gone with prior versions of this project? Was the MCU an outlier just because everyone has already seen those movies or has it been more successful in the past too? --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:954118084] in Board 8 Ra...
