Kat Dennings is adorable, but she's not a very versatile actor. She should probably be limited to snarky best friend roles.

Then she was later trying to convince Tony he is a Skrull, and I think trying to get him to gently caress her as well.

The Avengers run that leads up to Secret Invasion has a lot of sexualization of Jess, like when she shows up for the first time wearing her Spider-Woman costume the only way it would be more obvious to how Luke Cage is reacting to it if they put a boing sound effect on his pants. Hopefully if she does appear in the movies in some way, they'll use her current costume. Actually I could totally see them having Jessica Drew being a young girl who looks up to Carol in Captain Marvel, then when she comes back to earth, she's a grown woman and they can be BFFs. She also better be BFFs with Wanda too, there needs to be some Gal Pals in the MCU. We have lots of Bromances.

I was also thinking that maybe the end of Captain Marvel, it looks like she's sacrificed herself to stop the Skrulls, like blows up their ship and she doesn't get out, but then in Avengers 4 they find her in space, maybe a prisoner of the Skrulls or she's turned into Binary or something. Actually thinking how dumb Marvel's deals were, I'd not be surprised Binary is owned by Fox.

She's okay in small doses. She definitely doesn't have the chops to be a leading lady.

Speaking of leading ladies, I can not wait for Black Panther because Danai Gurira is always the best part of any Walking Dead episode she is in and I expect she is gonna tear poo poo up in BP.

It's pretty weird that they aren't including her in Avengers 3 and her solo outing takes place in the 90's for unexplained reasons.

Is it?

My thinking is that, based on what we've heard, Infinity War doesn't end with Thanos being defeated. I think it will end with Thanos being, at least partially, successful - rewriting reality itself for the MCU.

It gives them a chance to introduce new heroes, bring back people like Coulson without making people watch Agents of Shield, and gracefully retire their 'A' players while setting up a new continuity.

Now, I don't know whether they will be successful at making any of that work, but you figure they have to let some of their older (and more expensive) actors hang up their shoes at some point. What better way than with a good old fashion spectacle of a clash of universes?

It seems like Captain Marvel is going to lead the resistance against Thanos after he wrecks the main Avengers. She'll be the beacon of hope that rallies characters like Winter Soldier, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Ant Man, and the Wasp as the New Avengers.

You know what, DKR was a really goofy movie with a ton of plot holes and nonsensical things and lovely because it demonized something that hey, maybe Bane is kinda right that the rich shouldn't be able to do whatever they wanted at the expense of the poor but dang I loved the bit at the end with Alfred just nodding at Bruce

DKR fell off the rails entirely for me in like...the opening scene of the movie, but the last few scenes really made me question if I ever liked Batman. The way they have Alfred set up that ending earlier in the film is so out of left field. Like maybe if he'd said that clunky poo poo in Batman Begins and I had forgotten about it, sure. Then it's a nice moment. But when it's set up and paid off within like an hour and a half's time, it's just corny. Then JGL is Robin and also suddenly Batman despite being SUPER unprepared for that to happen to him and gently caress's sake. Talking about Dark Knight Rises always makes me feel like a crazy person where I didn't see the same movie that everyone else saw, so I'm the only person giving out about it.

I dunno, I enjoyed PARTS of Dark World. I know Hiddleston gets flack because of all his fans, but I legitimately enjoyed him TDW. That scene where Thor comes to his cell and he tries to pull the "villain who has it all together" card, and then Thor calls him out to reveal both Loki and the cell itself are a huge wreck is legitimately great.

Also, the part where he pretends he's Captain America.

Hiddleston pretty much always elevates the scenes he's in even if I'm not as over the moon on him as most people are. The way he reacted to his "mother" dying was pretty great.

But she's still horrible at that, in the movie and even in the television show that she's the first or second billed in. Natilie Portman can act but often doesn't give a gently caress and turns in really bad performances, yes, but is there any role Kat Dennings has ever been enjoyable in, besides to look at? I don't have anything against her personally, I'm sure she's very pleasant, but she's just not very talented as an actress.

I'm really intrigued by how Infinity War is going to end and what Avengers 4 is about. My pet theory is that Infinity War ends with Thanos collecting the final stone, preferably by ripping it out of Visions skull, and snapping his fingers. The next film begins with an altered reality where Thanos is God-King and only the Avengers remember. Sort of like half the episodes of Stargate. Either that or like the Doctor Who episode The Big Bang, where it's a much smaller scale story about them trying to think of a very clever solution to fix a situation where everything is completely and utterly hosed beyond hope.

I hope this isn't unreasonable but can we put trailer content in spoiler tags? I stopped watching trailers and reading detailed reviews of movies years ago because they give away too much of the movie but just from reading this thread I now know Mjolnir is getting broke in Ragnarok.

I avoid the thread when a movie gets released until I can see it but I don't want to avoid it completely when trailers are released.

Do yourselves a favour and stop watching trailers - my enjoyment of movies is much higher now AND I don't have preconceptions (positive or negative) of a movie before I go in.

Personally I like not wasting 14 bucks, so I pay attention to trailers and reviews to avoid that. You can tell a lot about a movie from that, i.e. the poor unfortunate Valerian.

Also trailers are hecka rad, esp when its done well. Thor 3's one has been in constant repeat.

I feel for you, but feel like a majority of the thread would be black bars if we counted trailers as spoilers. There is honestly not much to talk about between releases except the details revealed from trailers, marketing, and details about production.

If you think about it, this makes sense in regard to why they're being cagey about Captain Marvel being set in the 90s. It releases after Avengers 3/4 and is set before Iron Man, which aside from Pym Ant-Man and Cap is generally accepted to be the start of heroes becoming more numerous/prominent.

It's possible that Captain Marvel is after some kind of clock reset that goes down after Infinity War and that's why the first movie of that wave is in the 90s, but they won't address why or where Carol has been since (aside from the standard reason that the movie hasn't been released yet).

I do not think anyone in the Marvel cinematic world is aware Captain Marvel ever existed, including Nick Fury. Just my wild guess, but people's memories are somehow being erased, or she has something going on like The Sentinel.

The MCU had always seemed like after Captain America no one with superpowers showed up in the modern world until Iron Man or perhaps the Hulk, then they carved out a little space for Ant-Man but had his existence classified. They're a very new thing people aren't used to.

Kate fighting aliens in the 90s doesn't make any sense unless no one knows it happened for some reason.

I believe all memory of these events will have been erased, and the end of the movie is the modern day where she either returns or gets her memory back.

I mean, Skrulls are probably the only alien that could invade earth and not be noticed by the general public. Would limit where her battles could take place though.

It's always been cagey whether Fury knew about things like aliens. He wanted to create the Avengers to "Fight the things we never could." Given stuff like AOS established gifted and enhanced people being indexed and catalogued by SHIELD for years and covering it up (not to mention having an alien corpse lying around) and nothing in the films contradicts it, I don't think that it's much of a stretch to think he witnessed Carol's early adventures and has kept it close to his chest for a while.

I mean, you're probably right, but I almost want you to be wrong. Like the whole movie, things keep happening that NEARLY hit his eye, but Carol stops them or something happens at the last second to save him. And then in the stinger, it's a flash-forward and he has the patch when she comes back to Earth.
