Nothing is sadder to me than the fact that superhero movies are what little kids will get awed by nowadays

I grew up with Terminator and Aliens and Predator. Those were cool as gently caress movies

Marvel and DC movies are lukewarm farts in space

Tony told Peter to leave the Vulture thing alone because he had it under control. Peter went full "parents just don't understand" and defied orders to go anyway. Things went south. I feel like it takes a hoop or three to make that Tony's fault. He didn't have to like proveto Peter that he had it under control or make sure he had front row seats. As someone pointed out, Iron Man was on the scene ready for Vulture if he had escaped.


I must say I would love to know what kind of bad message that movie could have possibly sent.

That if an african nation ever got an advantage and developed super tech, they'd still do archaic ritualistic death-combat to determine rulership and still hit eachother with rhinos, clubs and swords. The fact that they were super advanced but still a tribal nation ruled by a king instead of developing any sort of non-medieval political system

Killmonger wanted to conquer the world, including all the black people of the world, under the Wakandan flag. He wanted to kill a looooooot of people. He wanted to spread weapons around, not advanced medicine or infrastructure

How does giving africans laser rifles change anything for the better? It'd just make africa even more violent and hosed up. It's not like Africa needs more armed militias with ak47's laser spears running around committing atrocities

Black Panther was fire emoji, and I appreciate that the entire point of the film is that nationalism is stupid and short-sighted.

Except it had made them the most powerful country on earth, so it seems like it's pretty cool. Also, bloodsports to determine the boss is the way of the future

It's stupid and really stupid

The movie was really stupid is what I'm saying. A lot of dumb things in Black Panther, the movie. The "lets undress and fight to the death for the right to rule this land" was just the dumbest

Still, fun movie

They didn't even change the ritual

At the end of the movie the Man Ape can still keep challenging Tchalla to rule the country if he wants to by banging his head with a club. I don't get why people defend the dumber parts of this movie so much. They put that stuff in the movie so they could have Killmonger become God King of Wakanda without any fuss

This doesn't happen. You could say their secret service and border patrol follow him after he admits having killed people but your outline is ridiculous.



What? An entire tribe starts attacking Tchalla because he commands them and he burns their sacred superflowers because he orders them to while choking a woman. They start selling weapons globally because he tells them to. The council literally sits in a room with him and accepts his orders

Did you miss the part where T’Challa is enacting sweeping change at the end of the movie? How he realizes that blindly following tradition and preserving culture at all costs is ultimately destructive? Because the world is catching up and organizations like the CIA can use that against them, which is exactly what happens and is explicitly called out as such by Ross?

He put an outreach centre in America is what I saw, I saw nothing about them getting rid of their traditions to hit eachother with swords

The utter weirdness of the Death relationship is why it is so good. It's so out there

Thanos is like a wannabe god trying to hook up with an actual god and you never know if the actual god is real or just Thanos being The Mad Titan. It's like some greek myth story mixed with comic book weirdness

TDK is okay but, and i've been sayin this from da start, it's mostly because the joker scenes are entertaining.

The rest of the movie is about a boring batman crashing into cars with his billionaire toys and poo poo. Then he solves all his problems with a deus ex SUPER SONAR THAT CAN FIND JOKER ANYWHERE IN THE CITY and then the people on the boats are all angels who are willing to die for eachother and ughghhh

I don't even like TDK that much but the boat scene is a representation of the fact that the Joker's war to destroy the soul of Gotham has failed.

We shouldn't allow kids to see movies where they use bad words, to ensure that kids never use bad words either. Let alone allow children to watch movies where people lose their lives. What if the child is exposed to Commando and decides to kill hundreds of henchmen after watching the movie? What then?
