This was a great scene.

I finally watched Spider-Man: Homecoming last week, and the one thing I really loved about the movie is how it addressed that if Spider-Man is stuck outside of a city full of high-rises, he can't travel as fast as he would otherwise. I mean, he still ended up using streetlights, but still.Agent355 posted:This was a great scene. I dabble in film analysis as a dumb internet hobby but i don't really have any faith in my own abilities to be like 'It's Actually A Great Scene And Hears Why', but god drat I loved that scene. The only real reason is because you think that Thor saves the universe in the last possible second, but... NOPE. It was a perfect set-up and subversion of expectation that I loved, even though half the movie was boring and slow (which is something that should never be said about a comic book movie).

Just like the hero deaths it has no impact at all because if you're an adult with any pop culture meta awareness at all you know he can't die in part 1 of a 2 part movie.

Avengers: Infinity War when Thor is picked up by the Guardians they couldn't do a dialogue exchange where one of them identifies Thor as an Asgardian and Quill, a man child, respond with an rear end-Guardian quip because in Thor: Ragnarok, they already had Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster do an "rear end-guard" joke.

I remember even as a kid watching the old cartoons and wondering wtf his web was sticking too. After i investigated it and learned that clouds were not, in any way, solid, I just decided there were lots of helicopters in NYC. And this might be the reverse of subtle, but I used to SWEAR that there were Spiderman cartoons that showed his full webbing on his costume and some that didn't. I'm talking OLD original spiderman cartoons here but it must have been my imagination because I can't find any that show the web lines on his body.

Something I noticed in Brave while watching it with my sick kiddo today: The necklace with which Merida pays the witch is the same one her mother was wearing in the opening scene when she and Elinor had a much closer relationship. Thinking in symbolism, Merida bartered away what was left of her relationship with Elinor for what ultimately rekindled it.

The emotional ending of Infinity Wars was largely toothless for adults, but a full three weeks after it’s release my kid came running up to me after hearing about everyone who died and now insists on seeing that movie. Comic book movies are by their nature for kids and children don’t follow future sequel release dates or keep track of tired superhero tropes.

I appreciate that Infinity War doesn't actually give a nod to the fact that they're totally all coming back to life. Like sure as an adult who likes comics I get how things work. I can see how it's probably going to play out but the way the movie gives none of that away on it's own is great.

Deadpool 2: Plenty of people noticed that when The Vanisher is (briefly) shown on-screen, it's Brad Pitt; but something I missed and read about is that one of the two rednecks when Cable shows up (the non-Alan Tudyk one) is Matt Damon.

Watching the A Series of Unfortunate Events film today, I noticed that the saccharine sweet opening with the animated elf had a few really creepy things going on in it: 1. one of the elves is holding a shotgun and wearing a bandolier 2. the elf smashes the bird we're following with the door he bursts through, and 3. the bear that's barely on screen has huge fangs visible near the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXAZ50HOj6s

Matt Damon played the Asgardian actor playing "Loki" in Thor 3. So maybe they're the same character?

The whole movie was about Thanos’ origins, rise, struggle, and ultimate success. Classic hero’s journey. It might as well have been called Thanos: the Movie.

What's so about this? The movie was disjointed as poo poo and was boring because of it. Thanos was the only one who was actually interesting and expressed agency and motivation.Ariong posted:Thanos was the main character.

I'd love to see a recut of the movie that actually shows this.

Double post, but separate thought: I know Marvel won't do it, but it would be awesome if every single character that died stays dead, and the announced sequels were with different characters. Sure, they announced Spider-Man 2, but who says it's Peter Parker and not Miles Morales? Black Panther 2 could have Shuri take the mantle. They even already introduced an entire new Guardians of the Galaxy in the end credits of Vol. 2.

It's called "the version literally everybody else saw." i mean my dude the movie has all the subtlety of a glowing radioactive brick to the face so i don't really know what you're asking for other than to have someone explain what a protagonist is and their relation to narratives in cinema. that's what is so about it. you are missing glaringly obvious themes from a movie about a guy with a big glowing mitten and then asking for someone to make it easier for you.

I know the movie's not subtle. I'm saying the movie was too long and some trimming could've been used. Having said that, I knew it was going to happen because they were throwing in so many characters. I wasn't expecting much from an Avengers movie, but its pacing was off.

After i investigated it and learned that clouds were not, in any way, solid, I just decided there were lots of helicopters in NYC. That was played as a neat moment in an otherwise lovely edgelord story arc Todd McFarlane did where Spidey was helping Wolverine out in the Canadian wilderness. Not much webswinging to be done in the great white north.

Watching the bit in Ragnarok with the play and actors because I thought to myself when I first watched it "man those dudes all look super familiar". Clearly I watch movies wrong because when you actually pay attention it's pretty obvious who the actors are. Anyway, the bit directly after Loki saying he knows exactly where Odin is, there's a smash-cut* of the Bifrost being activated and firing out a beam to Earth that is very reminiscent of an Edgar Wright mini-montage like when they're pulling pints in The World's End. *could be the wrong term, I don't actually know what it should be called, but if you can line up the scene I'm sure someone who knows movies can correct me on it.
