That and it’s a sequel to a move made in 1988. It was always destined to be a soulless nostalgia cash grab.

Eh, it's alright for what it is. It's a sequel that's mostly enjoyable and entertaining. And feels like classic Burton through and through. Catherine O'Hara and Michael Keaton are also obviously having a lot of fun.
Like everyone else said, doesn't beat the original, but it was fun for what it was. Certainly kept a lot of the same spirit, which is more than I can say for a lot of these soulless reboot/sequel cash grabs these days
Meh it was enjoyable enough. It's certainly not overtaking the original as the better, but it was a fine hour and a half our whatever.
lmao, not an english native speaker here. What would be, in english language, the difference between poisonous and venomous? Lifting aside the "pois" and the "ven".
Poisonous: will make you sick if you eat it. Venomous: will make you sick if it bites or stings you.
Wait. So what if you ate the snake… wouldn’t that mean at that point it could be poisonous? Checkmate.
If you consume venom and don't have any open sores, you should be fine in most cases.
Poison, however, will probably still kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream. Then again, most things will kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream.
Poison is in the fangs not the meat
I mean… a fang can be eaten. Dogs eat all sorts of weird stuff.
If you eat a fang and it gouges into your skin and injects venom, did you eat it or did you get bitten?
It's not the fang that's poisonous but the glands and those absolutely could be even accidentally eaten. #debunked
So the conclusion is venomous is a subset of poisonous and the movie totally watchable.
Venom is transported through the fangs just so a bunch of children don't go eating a bunch of venom glands...
Not native English speaking neither but afaik:
poisonous: you die if you eat it
Venomous: you die if it bites you
- If it bites you and you die: it's venomous
- If you bite it and you die: it's poisonous
Bears are venomous and lava is poisonous. Got it
If we follow this logic, bears are both poisonous and venomous.
I don't speak Spanish, but just looking at the alternative options Google Translate provides when you only input a single word, it's possible that "tóxico" might be a clearer translation of "poisonous".
Tóxico is more or less analogous to toxic in English, it sounds normal to use with something like a chemical but weird with an animal
Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.
If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it's poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it's venom.
Hace un par de días teníamos esta misma discusión aquí, básicamente «poison» es si lo tocas y mueres. «Venom» es si te muerde y mueres. En español es más simple con veneno jaja
Español cuenta también con "Ponzoñoso" (Poisonous ) para poder diferenciar. Pero en si, sólo son sinónimos y se utilizan igual.
Lo mismo me pasó hace unos años. En tumblr había un post donde mencionaban las diferencias entre un "raven" y un "crow", pero ambos sabemos que la traducción directa de ambas palabras es "cuervo"
I see. @Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @Melochar@lemmy.world, and @JustAPenguin@lemmy.world Thank you, you all
I was told that if something dies from poison and you eat it then it is dangerous. But if something dies from venom and you eat it you will be okay.
Just watch the german version, where both translates to "giftig". Who cares if it needs to bite you or if you need to bite it, if it contains poison/venom just stay away from it.
There are poisonous snakes, but most are not. They become poisonous through their diet.
As a non native English speaker, where does toxic fit into the poisonous/venevenomous question?
I saw it last night: it's the worst wet fart of a movie I've seen in a long time
What is missing from the original?
Story cohesion, justifiable plot, relatable characters, believable dialogues, good montage (there are more frame changes than a fast and furious chase sequence) and in general there is nothing that make this one look like a Tim Burton movie.
But hey we now have *checks notes* Monica Bellucci, the worst actress the big screen has ever seen...
It's a common mistake, so isn't a character in a movie making it realistic? Wouldn't it be out of character for many characters to have perfect English?
it only takes 1 flaw to turn a movie from a 10/10 to a 0/10. this is one such example
sigh guess us real kinophiles must fend for ourselves
May point is that it might be a mistake of the character, intended by the writers, not a mistake by the writers.
Maybe she was eating poisonous snakes off camera. You don't know.
I literally thought the correction in my head while in the theater. It took some restraint to not mention anything to my partner lol
Maybe you need to dub it from english to english and take the chance to fix it.
