Yeah, they want to have their own cinematic universe and have been trying to set up a Sinister Six movie for ages. The funny part is, they don’t seem to know what Spider-Man they want to use.
They were gonna put Andrew Garfield in but then change their mind and have Tom Holland so it could be in the MCU and then when they realized a young Ben and May show up, they took Spidey out all together. This means they really have no idea how this fits into the movies and don’t care.
I think it was more to emphasize how Mystique joined Magento’s squad and turned evil. Not that much came from that set up by the next film but that’s also a weird thing the later X-Men movies did. At any rate, Azazel was said to have died and Mystique met Nightcrawler a few movies later with no implications of anything.
Again, I’m not sure why you think he’s being polite. Can you give examples? The dude was gradually getting more and more hostile the whole way through except for the last two seconds of the clip when he gives a slight smile and pats Bill on the back:

“ Nope, he lies with a smile on his face and nice manners.”
Yeah, when people lie, they tend to act nice and polite. Kinda defeats the purpose otherwise. And even then, his lies involve being nonchalant about the hooker that OD’d at his house, telling his friend that his buddies were playing head games to scare him and said the piano player deserved to get beaten up. Not exactly Mr Niceguy.
“ He "threatens" him like a friend.
That sort of nicety, you know”
I don’t know about your circle of friends but I never had any of mine threaten to kill me and my family.
It’s weird that you don’t want serious thrillers to be realistic though.
What nicety? He outright lies to, then threatens the main character. He is painted as nothing BUT a monster. You claiming Kubrick condoned that sort if thing is baseless.
And what exactly is the alternative beyond being realistic. Did you want to see Zeigler shouting, “The world shall be ours” while lightning strikes in the distance? It wouldn’t make any sense considering what we know about him.
What makes you think either of are on his side? His behavior is common in thrillers like this where a rich, powerful guy is just hanging out in mansion, giving warnings not to look further and it seems pretty realistic to me. When some rich and powerful people were up to no good, I don’t think they’re skulking in the shadows, laughing maniacally like a cartoon villain. They’re probably just hanging out at hime with the family, go to rich people parties and then do the shady stuff.
In fact, in lesser movies, when a character the audience thought was on the up-and-up is revealed to be evil, the character’s personality suddenly does a 180 and it’s always bad. It’s terrible writing.
I’ve seen all Kubrick movies and watched documentaries. I don’t recall any significant discussions on calumet cans. Why not just enlighten everyone?
I’m not sure how a movie is taken literally. We are supposed to take it seriously just like any other movie, regardless of his humor.
Incels and the alt-right is not to blame. Sometimes, movies just do poorly. Barbie was a huge hit this year and the incels didn’t stop that from breaking records.
Did you expect him to go around chugging entire bottles of whiskey? If someone drank like that, they wouldn’t be capable of making youtube vids.
Isn’t the villain Adam Driver? Looked like him.
They couldn’t latch this movie on to Michael Keaton’s Batman.
The first script he rejected apparently only had two fight scenes. Marvel is getting the wrong people to write and direct this movie.
Jack and his family drove there in the original movie with a few Christmas decorations visible in the background. It wasn’t until much later in the winter that the roads were too snowed-over.
I'm okay with science nonsense since it's a superhero universe about time travel and gods. I do ask that shit be explained, though.
My guess is that Marvel is distancing itself from Johnathon Majors in case he ends up going to jail.

I live Norm’s story about this.
The original Night Court held a Guinness World record for tallest cast in an American TV series.
