I haven't seen Dark Phoenix yet, but I thought the x-men movies were great as long as you don't break your head worrying about comic book time travel plot holes.
Dark Phoenix is sadly a much, much weaker story arc without the context of its time period. According to the internet, the movie fails not only at providing that context but much of any at all.

(also my head is already broken ha ha)

I did not get this memo about pay rates on Mturk.

You will receive the payment as advertised on mTURK (a rate of $2 per hour) or the CBDR Participant Pool website for your participation. There will be no cost to you if you participate in this study.
Oh, I see they've raised the pay rate on MTurk....and they don't charge us any more.

I've seen about 10 minutes combined from all of those movies and I noped out pretty quickly. I just don't like fantasy because its a genre where you can make up any BS you want and it doesn't have to make sense
You're talking about bad sci-fi and fantasy. Good sci-fi and fantasy create worlds where the rules are different from ours but the story is still bound by those rules so the stories remain internally consistent. Bad sci-fi and fantasy are inconsistent in their rules and will pull deus ex machina out of thin air anytime they write themselves into a corner.

I don't think they want to hear about how my coworkers live in bathtubs

"We randomly selected Photo #14 for phase 1 and you guessed that the actual age is 34. The correct answer is 33.

Your bonus for phase 1 is $0.9

We randomly selected Photo #7 for phase 2 and you guessed that the actual age is 50. The correct answer is 50.

Your bonus for phase 2: $1

Your total bonus is: $1.9"

Whoa, I can't believe I was actually that close.
I got $0 for both of those, haha. Well done!
