Regarding the pallbearer thing: Yeah, Peggy dies midway through, not connected to the main events of the film.

I would assume she dies because she'd be like 90-something by now.

Codependent Poster posted:Apparently the airport scene is exciting and inventive, so I dunno what you're going on about Not what I saw. What is happening in the scene looks better than the average action scene in Avengers, slightly, because it's less floaty and cut better. The action beats are timed better, so that, when say, Spider-man grabs Cap with his webs, it immediately cuts to the next action of him pulling as opposed to holding on it for too long and making that action less visceral. But the framing is dull, the use of depth and background is nonexistent, and the lighting is extremely flat. It's pretty much the same as the officially released Black Panther/Winter Soldier/Iron Man/etc. scene only with less movement, so it comes off as extremely dull when watching (to me). So, in other words, it's not shot as good as a Spartacus action sequence, but a bit better than one in Arrow. And, my question was that i don't understand why this is the case in a movie of this magnitude that focuses on scenes like this.

The big question for me is whether Civil War is better than Deadpool. Either way, looking like a good year for comic book movies.

Edit: I should note that one of the guys is a turbonerd who has spent thousands and thousands getting a near complete collection of the classic Avengers comics and he was siding with Deadpool.

It's definitely enjoyable and has a couple good laughs (Falcon + Bucky buddy movie please), but I don't think it tops Deadpool. Having so many characters running around, each with their own motivations and history, just makes it a less refined movie. It's hard to compete with a fresh debut. And why it's awesome to see the heroes clashing, it still all feels bit silly and forced. I'm glad that they at least acknowledge that some of them are holding back. Well, except for the final fight.

I think I'm comfortable calling Deadpool the winner of 2016. Even if a better movie comes out, for Deadpool to have been as good and successful as it was despite everything it had going against it puts it over the top. It's like a paraplegic winning a silver medal in the able-bodied Olympics.

Like, the biggest thing was that it was R-rated, I guess the second was that he isn't a recognizable A-lister. But I honestly don't think name recognition even matters anymore at this point, and it had a brilliant marketing campaign driven by a pretty rabid fan base who plastered that poo poo all over social media.

BiggerBoat posted:I'd maintain that all those people are pretty big stars and that your argument doesn't hold. Listen we can talk about this in circles forever unless we can get some metrics in here. I argued that Marvel has a habit of hiring actors that were not at the tier that Jennifer Lawrence is now, then growing them into the high tier actors demanding big pay-checks subsequently.. Jennifer Lawrence is the highest paid actress today: http://www.vogue.com/13296895/jennifer-lawrence-highest-paid-actress-world/ Here is an article mentioning the highest paid actors and actresses in 2008: http://extratv.com/2008/01/01/hollywoods-highest-paid-actors/ Johanson is about sixth in the list of highest paid actresses. I'm not trying to talk about the quality of these people, but how much they cost Marvel to hire. And I would still maintain, despite Marvel's recent loosening of the purse strings, that the go to move is to inculcate less than highly appreciated actors inhouse. EDIT: There are numerous articles out there circa 2008 that has Feige and Perlmetter supposedly saying as much. Its why Downey had to strongarm the company into paying his fellow castmates a comparable wage to his own.

Man of Steel kicked me in the nuts with how good it was during my recent MoS-BvS double feature. I'm probably going to be watching it quite a lot in the coming years, and that's really weird to think about considering I previously hated it like folks hate BvS.

It's a very similar style of humor between the two, so probably just not your bag, not indicative of you being a broken human being. You'd be a broken human being if you liked no comedy, or if you hated Lord/Miller stuff and Deadpool but loved Larry the Cable Guy or something.

Most people just think I'm broken when I explain that I thought the Lego movies was dull and one of the least funny things I've ever seen. I think I've just kind of come to a point where I don't like films that are a comedic focus. Whereas I love the comedy bits throughout Guy Richie films or Alexander Payne films.

Yeah, I still think of Guardians of the Galaxy all the time, and I'm reasonably sure I'll be enjoying Deadpool for years to come, whereas I literally never think of Man of Steel outside of this thread. I guess different people just like different things.
