The archmage of unexpected stinks.

Honestly Gunn hired a 67 year old Kurt Russell to play a 29 year old Kurt Russell and I think he could almost always fix someone being one or two inches too tall or short on the budgets he operates on. Hell Stark was wearing platforms through like 10 movie appearances. Still it's just the weirdest fight.

I'm actually baffled that they spent the cash on the CG for young Kurt when Wyatt's right there.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Rocket Raccoon is only three feet tall and Gunn discovered him.

Yeah but he's played by 2 tall actors, I don't even want to try and unpack that.

I mean, she had blonde hair as Thor for the same reason Red Hulk was clean shaven originally, and the reason Rulk has grey hair and a mustache and the Jane Valkyrie has dark hair now. They needed something appearance wise that you could point to and say "but how can it be Obvious Character?! Obvious Character has Distinguishing Feature that Mysterious New Thor/Hulk doesn't!" and now they no longer need that. In the movie they're not gonna dance around it being Jane for more than, like, the first act, and it'll be in all the trailers.

No idea who that is but I feel like the article is confused because it says ‘Spectrum is expected to appear in the film’ which is Monica.

I hope they make Captain Marvel a more interesting protagonist this time, her only characteristic in the last movie was being super good at beating people up. But that's a bit one note.

Yeah the movie had a couple of good moments but they barely used the 90s setting at all other than the one section where she first comes back to Earth.

True. 90s Rigellian culture was wild and they limited it to the dumb Earth setting.

I liked seeing young Fury even if I really dislike that we found out how he lost use of his eye (I don't even care that it was by cat flerken, I just prefer some things remain unknown), and the dial-up gag in the middle of the movie loving killed so honestly the 90's setting worked for me.

e: I do agree that Carol needs a more distinct personality.

Carol is justifiably self-assured and full of herself, which gives her an air of "I'm better than you" when she's dealing with others. I would like to see her become more grounded by being around folks like Monica, Kamala, Fury, etc that gives her more opportunities to work alongside others instead of just kinda being a one-man show that expects everyone to... marvel at their greatness.

Edit: I guess what I'm saying is, I would want to see her have more connections with others so we get to see more of her when she's not "on," if that makes sense.

I'd be cool with her being a bit more of a smug price, she is a pilot after all. Just tone down the snark so she doesn't literally sound like every other Marvel main character.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, I think she was at her best when dueling with Fury so hopefully the fact that the movie's called The Marvels and is gonna include Monica and Kamala and they've already established some drama with Monica and will establish some stuff for Kamala this is gonna be a deeper team thing that gives Carol more depth of character.

But I also expect her to stay kind of smug because like half of Marvel's heroes are and I like that the one woman who also is annoys certain types.

I haven't read a ton of comics with Carol in them, and my main impression of her is from the movie and her appearances in X-Men, but my read on her personality is basically "Lifetime military with a tendency to prefer blunt force solutions"

a space marine, if you will

Early on she was much more '70s Dudes Try To Understand Feminism The Character', but yeah, the last decade plus has leaned into the 3 key things about her: lovely Dad, Recovering Alcoholic, Fighter Jock.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I really hope that particular piece wasn't something he just pulled off the internet, because the thought of Zach loving Snyder responding to the Batman Discourse by comissioning fan art is just :discourse:
