You can ctrl X, then add text then ctrl V to repaste the spoiler or quote box. Kludgey as though.

I can't select the beginning of the post, before the quote. :shrugz:

Saw end game, came out satisfied. Although I can't understand why they did that to Thor... I get it that the movies were not that good and the direction they were taking him with Ragnarok was clear, but did they really need to make a complete joke out of him.

No you can't, it seems that at present having a box element at the top means you cannot add text above it. If you cut (standard ctrl x command) so that the top element isn't a box though you can add text as normal. You then paste the cut stuff back in after the added text.

It's definitely a workaround and more trouble than it should be though.

I tried it now, but no matter what I do there is always still a box left after I cut everything in the post.

Edit: but it worked because the warning appears before you open the spoilers.

Big spoiler, don't read

Frame handling is a bit annoying as it is now. You also cannot add text above a quote in standard reply if the quote box is at the top.

You have to select the box element itself, not its contents, then cut it. Easiest way is to select the drag and drop tab at top left, if you move the mouse cursor away the frame turns blue showing it is selected and you can then cut it, add text and repaste. May not work on mobile (and I suspect selecting the frame would be near impossible even if it could theoretically work)

James Cameron does have a history for massively delayed films but the Avatar sequels are getting ridiculous.

Presumably the SW films are the Rian Johnson ones. Though Benioff and Weiss from Game of Thrones have a SW project on the go as well.

These delays are just to interleave Disney's and 21st Century's schedules now that they are one. As far as I know all bets are off as to who is directing the 4th trilogy. I didn't get the impression he was insider darling or anything, and his film has done more damage to SW than anything as of late. Well maybe Solo, but those two films were peas in a pod.

I like having a big escapist sci-fi movie to watch with the family for the Holidays. We'll also be having Dune and Dune 2 to look forward to as well.

So much big sci-fi. I'm both excited and terrified. There better not be a ton of stinkers in that lot.

The series is going to resurrect Sam Worthington, the "A-list star" that never was. Weird times ahead. I haven't heard of a single good movie that he's been in since.

I wonder if he'll have grown a pair of charisma by then to match the likes of the Marvel and Star Wars cast.

Has filming even started yet? We get a decent amount of Avatar news due to Cameron living here now and I feel like he's announced the scripts are finished and filming is about to start half a dozen times.

Wouldn't put Solo and TLJ into the same category personally. Solo was ill advised- Han Solo without Ford, about a dead character, not really any demand for it- and had developmental issues but was an adequate movie that was generally regarded by the fans who bothered to watch it as more or less decent, just pointless. TLJ was even more deeply divisive than Phantom Menace was back in the day, and a big (only argument is how big) proportion of the fanbase actively loathed it instead of just being indifferent.

I agree, Solo was sort of the wake up call though. They learned their actions have consequences. The producers all pretended that the backlash was just "par for the course toxic super-fans" and that the general populace was okay with whatever auteur-ship ego-trip was being delivered. If the mainline movies aren't delivering, then the intermittent cash ins are going to lose their effectiveness. It can't all be marketing narrative that drives the movies. Which is why I link the failure of those two movies together.

I kind of agree in that I suspect they take the backlash a lot more seriously than they claim(ed) to, but the only semi public effect Solo flopping had was the cancellation of other 'Starwars Tales' inter big release year stand alones which weren't formally announced anyway. Johnson still supposedly has his own trilogy in development so it seems that LucasFilm management more or less maintain their opinion that TLJ was great, the backlash wasn't bad and only came from neckbeards and misogynist bullies, and that Solo was just an aberration with no longer term implications. The big shift will be if Episode IX (heh, I can't even remember its name without duckduckgoing it) does poorly as well, then I'd expect some sort of acknowledgement and actual change.

They've done motion capture for Avatar 2 & 3 with principal live action sometime in 2019.

Meanwhile...
