Twitter Capsule: At least it's lensed okay and not too self-important. But its rhetorics, assumptions, and priorities are all skewed.

Second Capsule: How about just an embargo on Green movies. Books, Miles, Rooms, Lanterns, Hornets, Infernos. They're always awful. (Only Rays are excepted.)

VOR: ②  Not every beat panders to old story conventions or presumed audiences, but the exceptions prove the rule. Instantly moldy 2018 time capsule.
