I think Disney should always sprinkle a little harlmess gay in their movies, that way it becomes super easy to identify who is a huge piece of poo poo when they complain about it. Like everyone that got mad at the gay dude in Beauty and the Beast.

Here's the thing though- a lot of people that got mad at the gay dude in Beauty and the Beast got mad because Disney built that up as a huge thing Around the short fat comic relief character who's name is literally the Fool. And then it amounted to him making a vague reference of maybe being gay at the very end that you could miss if you blinked. What I'm trying to say is Disney is a lovely company run by cretins and monsters. I think I came up with a pithier way to express that earlier on in this thread but gently caress if I care enough to go back and check

Just got out of Captain Marvel (also first time seeing a movie in Dolby Atmos) and overall I really enjoyed it. Only "criticism" I have is that they gave Rambeax (Rambo? Rambeau?) a loving terrible haircut. Lady was rocking a head like a mushroom.

Captain Carol was alright. I love Brie Larson, but she might have been the weakest part of the movie. That, or the script did the character no favors. Feels like she was playing flat from start to finish, even after all the supposed character growth. Ben Mendelsohn gets to have a lot of fun hamming it up and it was fun to see him let loose a little bit.

Saw Captain Marvel. Didn't really like it. But I'm not sure why it's getting worse reviews than other Marvel films. I mean, it's not good, but neither are they and it is in no way any worse than they are. I can only assume there is some sexism in criticism or the MCU has gotten overexposed and that's what the critics are reacting to. Larson isn't terrible in the lead, but she doesn't have much to do except make deadpan jokes and smirk slightly. She plays it kinda distant, which I assume is a deliberate choice, but it means that when she has a scene with Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau or Ben Mendelsohn or Nick Fury or Jude Law or a cat, she comes off as less engaging than them, so the supporting cast outshines her. I think the movie also suffers from a second act revelation that should shock the audience, but anybody with half a brain has picked up on it from the first minute Really, is it any shock the Krees are heels and the Skrulls babyfaces? The Kree are obviously lying to Carol from the jump, so when revealed it's just "Yes, we know. Anything else?" Although I don't think I've ever seen Ben Mendelsohn play a sympathetic character before, that's new. This means the audience spends a good amount of time waiting for the characters catch up to what we already have guessed. I think maybe writing Carol as having no memory was a mistake. And on to the dread spectre of feminism. I mean, it's fine, it's just for me (a straight white dude) it is delivered with no feeling or impact. Carol Danvers has been a tomboy who has been told all her life that she's not good enough and she should quit ("There's a reason it's called a COCKpit"!). She then finds her inner strength and says "I am good enough and I don't have anything to prove". The End. That's the entire movie. And when I say "inner strength" what I mean is her superpowers that she got by accident. It's not a terrible message, but it is delivered just as bluntly as I said here, so it doesn't land (at least for me, YMMV). And I know what they were going for, but I just about died from vicarious embarrassment when No Doubt's "Just a Girl" played. A far more interesting character than Carol in this very movie is Rambeau. She suffered all the same bullshit as Carol and then lost her best friend, left the air force and started here own plane business (?), raised her daughter by herself and when Carol returns she helps her defeat aliens, including flying to outer space and beating a superior alien craft in a dogfight, something Carol failed to do earlier. . A movie about her would have been much cooler. And this is just a quibble, but why is the development of a "light-speed engine" so game-changing when everybody can already jump across star-systems and even from galaxy to galaxy (if we can believe the dialogue)? On the positive side, one of the end credits teasers is just a scene from Endgame (I'm assuming). The Russos have really perfected the art of making movies look as uninteresting as possible, it looks like a tv show not good enough to be on Sci-Fi. And the action scenes are boring and weightless, but you knew that already.

Often end credit stuff is shot really late in the game and only for like a half a day or something. I don’t remember them using an actual scene in any of them besides that one scene in Black Panther with Bucky , but that could’ve been two different scenes.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Seems to be one of those characters we're told people like, but with absolutely no adequately articulated reason why. It's very much this, sincerely. Carol Danvers was a B-team player for a very long time, even as recently as Bendis' run on New Avengers, but there was a sudden corporate push to make her a AAA character. It's like Marvel woke up one day and realized they had no Wonder Woman. Then they proceeded to poo poo all over her forced character development with stuff like Civil War II. Just dig into Ms. Marvel instead. Better by incredible leaps and bounds.

I didn't expect them to make the skrulls sympathetic. That kind of took me by surprise despite the twist. I kept waiting for the ol' double cross. I guess there's no room for nuance in Marvel movies where someone has to be the capital B bad guy and the other people.. not.
