What are considered “failures” in the MCU? Like critically IM2, Thor: LW and maybe Avengers AoA but everything has performed fairly well at the box office I believe? The closest thing to a flop I could think of is Incredible Hulk. But who knows, they’ve set expectations so high, I wouldn’t be surprised if one that comes out and makes only half a billion dollars as a bomb. Also just writing that sentence above is making me lol at DCEU. Again.

You ever stop and remember for a second how Sony thinks it's going to successfully make a Spiderman cinematic universe without Spiderman, featuring stand alone films for such luminaries as Jackpot or Morbius or Kraven in a non-Spidey-hunting-context, and get totally gobsmacked at how completely the U.S. economy has become an engine primarily geared towards rewarding rich failsons and protecting them from the consequences of being profoundly stupid with vast sums of money?

Fangz posted:But what if the movies are very buzzworthy and cool Edit: Also, one thing that it really annoys me to read is when people who write about movies - not necessarily critics, but people who report on new releases, that kind of thing - describe a movie as "buzzy". I have no good reason for disliking this, it just pisses me off.

Nice to see Maria in this movie. Hopefully that means we'll get Rambeau Pt. II. Though I find it hard to believe someone in the Air Force would be given the call sign "Photon".

So, the main Skrull villain in Captain Marvel (setting aside the substantial possibility of plot twists) is a guy whose main distinguishing traits in the comics are (a) not being able to shapeshift, and (b) being a laughingstock among the Skrulls, and whose last appearance was a Howard the Duck story where he assembles a bargain-bin knockoff of the Infinity Gauntlet that includes two “Dance Gems.” That’s... odd.

Let's just say Marvel's limited access to named Skrulls because the Fox purchase isn't finalized meant they had to scrape the underside of the bottom of the barrel, regardless of the truth of the matter.

There will have been a huge gap between Ant Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel, so people will be excited that it will be coming out, plus they're going to promote the poo poo out of this over the next few months. People have clearly not tired of Marvel. You'd need like a bunch of movies in a row to sink it anyways. A lot of people are saying this might be there to plant seeds for the next major story line after Thanos is defeated, Secret Invasion. If that gets Spider-Woman on screen, i'm all for it.

I want this to mean that either: a) Fury is constantly being wounded near his eye but never quite on it until it becomes hilariously contrived, or b) Fury eventually loses his eye due to an infection he gets from not properly treating that minor flesh wound.

People have clearly not tired of Marvel. You'd need like a bunch of movies in a row to sink it anyways. I imagine there's likely to be a certain amount of cross-promotion with Infinity War 2, which is odds on to be the biggest movie of 2019 (only a couple of other serious contenders that occur to me) and is probably the most anticipated of all the blockbusters coming out next year. We already know (because we've been told) that Captain Marvel will have an important role in that, so I reckon the CM movie could benefit a lot just from being the thing that whets the audience appetite before Infinity War 2 a couple of months later. pubic works project posted:I wonder who owned Paibok before the purchase. No joke, if future MCU villains include a team comprising Fantastic Four villains from the 90s like Occulus (POWER INCARNATE!), Devos the Devastator, Paibok (THE POWER-SKRULL!) and, I don't know, loving Hyperstorm or Aron the Renegade Watcher, I think I would be very happy.

This is actually in line with original 616 Fury who took a piece of shrapnel to the eye but didn't lose it. I don't know if they ever showed what was going on with Ult Fury but IIRC they blamed it on Wolverine.

It's one of the better costume redesigns...well maybe ever. Must be pretty gratifying to see it up on the big screen. (Not Jamie -> Kris, Ms. Marvel to Captain Marvel I mean)

The newer version is more like actual clothing, though still very tight.

The Captain Marvel costume looks terrible, so it's a successful adaptation of the comic book one.
