I don't know, eat people, mind control? I don't remember. The kree show up to try and take him out but they get pulped. How can he be the founder of Hydra when we literally see Red Skull found Hydra in Captain America?

AlBorlantern Corps posted:Because Hydra had existed since like 10000 BC and has taken many forms, cut off one head etc Agents of Shield sounds impossibly bad. I could not imagine a stupider show. At least the Minions movie had a good sense to say that the minions never worked for Hitler.

There was one shot in Wakanda where they showed some graffiti, and as far as I can recall that's the only sign that anybody actually lives in Wakanda. The rest of it just looks like cast members in the Wakanda section of Epcot. Although, in a sense, that's actually kind of clever since a significant portion of the Wakandan population is employed to put on an act for tourists.

Cythereal posted:Eh, Spiderverse just did a fine job showing you can depart from the standard Spidey formula and still have a good story. Well, the difference would be that instead of kind, innocent Uncle Ben telling Peter to aspire to serve others with his abilities, it's a billionaire weapons manufacturer inducting a child into the military industrial complex as a paramilitary soldier.

I think it's fairly uncontroversial that the trailer's kind of dumb in the context of Infinity War, but what makes that tweet a spicy take is the argument that it's going to teach kids a bad lesson. Really, though, it's no worse than most other children's media. These "think about the children" sort of positions just mistake symptoms for the cause.

My favorite part of Glass is when they explained what a comic book was. The world can never know that there are men who can lift cars. The Cameo posted:It’s a really great “oh, I’m going to die now” reaction shot. Because of course you’re going to be scared shitless if Superman cranks his head towards you like you’re a babysitter and he’s Michael Myers. I agree that getting the movie to less than 2 hours was probably a priority for WB, but Snyder left because his daughter died. He wasn't fired.

Davros1 posted:True story, back in Nov I was in my local comic book store, and a guy came in wanting a Batman book for his kid, and the manager ended up having to explain to him what a comic book was. It does make sense in context, since the comic book store guy explains it to the girl from Split who was raised by a primitivist. I was just thinking going into the movie that it was the most ridiculous thing the movie could do and sure enough...

Sir Kodiak posted:Are there any other movies where the villain does that thing where they plan to get captured and then escape, but then actually accomplishes nothing by having done so? You have it working successfully in other Marvel movies, in two of the Nolan Batman movies, in Skyfall, and a bunch of other stuff, but I can't think of any where the villain tries it and it's a total misfire. Sort of an interesting decision. It's a great sequence in Batman (1966).

The Joker's just another mediocre white male comedian, disappointed that their tired politically incorrect schtick isn't getting the laughs it once did. Batman Beyond was the only Batman to notice that the Joker just wasn't funny.

On a more serious, less glib note, the celebration at the end isn't for Yondu being a good father, it's about how his whole life he's been seeking a genuine, emotional relationship with someone and how at the end of his life he finally found one. The theme is expressed with outrageous cartoon violence where everything's exaggerated, so whereas in our real world, selling a bunch of kids to be eaten by their dad would be monstrous, in an exaggerated setting it's still wrong, but not unforgivable. That's really my point, expecting characters to get the appropriate, US legal code defined comeuppance for the bad things they do in a movie is silly, because that's not what a movie is about (unless it's, like, a legal drama or something).

R. Guyovich posted:i think the script was bad and the whole production process was marvel-ized. brie larson is obviously a very good actress as anyone who's seen short term 12 and room can attest. but there's only so much one can do with lackluster material and a studio keeping its claws in. She was great in Free Fire, so it's not like she can't do quippy action movies.

Reign is good because the MJ reveal comes after Doctor Octopus' undead skeleton buries Parker in MJ's grave, but only so Parker can get his Spider-Suit back, and then Spider-Man punches his way out of the grave singing the Spider-Man theme song. Also he murders Electro and Hydro Man by pushing them into each other. For real though, comic fans love accusing certain comics of being "grimdark" when they're obviously written tongue-in-cheek. Same thing with All Star Batman and Robin.
