Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). As a prequel, Captain Marvel brings back Guardians characters Ronan (Lee Pace) and Korath (Djimon Hounsou).
    “this is, of course, a prequel, so their characters appear in this film again.”

  2. craft (craft) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The Flarkin cat in Captain Marvel is a version of the Drax metaphor joke, but this film's joke lands better thanks to the cut to his face.
    “And you know, you know, the cat in Captain Marvel is like a version of this joke.”

Batman Forever (1995): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: Batman Forever ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The prosthetic-ears-and-face-paint alien look recalls the trashy 1990s comic book movies, specifically Batman Forever.
    “It felt a little bit like Batman forever at times where I was like, that guy is definitely just wearing face paint.”

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The film goes back to the Steve Rogers style of origin story.
    “here's how Steve Rogers became a super soldier style of storytelling.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · them, directly: Obi-Wan Kenobi ⇒ Jude Law (the host's read). Law's Yon-Rogg is introduced as an Obi-Wan-style mentor figure.
    “we meet him as a sort of Obi-Wan Kenobi-esque mentor figure in Vere's life.”

Pulp Fiction (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: Pulp Fiction ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). Samuel L. Jackson driving around mid-90s Los Angeles evokes Jules Winfield, a clever but surface 90s nod.
    “a Samuel L. Jackson character in the mid 90s driving around in a car in Los Angeles, a la Jules Winfield in Pulp Fiction.”

The Avengers (2012): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they acted in: The Avengers ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The Tesseract, the glowing box, was a MacGuffin in the first Avengers and in Infinity War.
    “you may remember the Tesseract from the 1st Avengers film, and then, of course, the most recent Avengers film, Avengers Infinity War”

What was said about them, by kind

career (1)

  1. career (career): Jude Law → Alfie. Producers saw Jude Law and wanted him cockier, a misread of Law's strengths.
    “Where they like see you law and they're like, they want this guy to be cockier, right?”

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (contrast): Florence Pugh → Jude Law. Pugh's arrival as a star is the Talented Mr. Ripley-era Jude Law analog; Lopez is Tom Cruise in Magnolia, a star channeling her legacy into her best acting.
    “then Lopez is Tom Cruise in Magnolia.”
