    Being bland is worse than being bad.

    I can watch comically bad sci fi. But… I can’t remember a thing about the last two movies of the trilogy. And I remember a whole lot of “meh” sci fi.

      Ordinarily I agree but dear god stay away from Rebel Moon, worst shit ever and not in a remotely fun way

        I remember that one of them, I think the second one, is called The Scargiver. I couldn’t tell you who had a scar or who gave it. Those movies wish they were trash.

          My favorite-least-favorite part is that in the first one, they give the fascist (who is a Hellsing-tier Nazi [love Hellsing tho], he’s not a fascist with an actual ideology, he’s just eviiiiil because he’s so eviiiiil) a shillelagh. Why? Who the fuck knows. And then in the end of the movie (no spoiler warnings, I am sparing you) he gets stabbed with it. He gets stabbed with a relatively blunt stick and that’s how he dies.

          It’s just so bad. I’m in a similar boat as you, I’ll watch scifi even if it’s garbage. I watched all of Dark Matter, which is a scifi series that feels like Star Trek fanfiction written by an edgy 13-year-old goth kid (I am qualified to say that as a former edgy 13 y/o goth kid). It was miles more enjoyable than Rebel Moon. Even Morbius got me to laugh often, Rebel Moon just made me want to self immolate.
