My personal feeling is that Marvel should just write the movies they want to write, without worrying about any real life subtext to it.
There appears at the moment to be this illogical adherence to the views of some quite small minorities who simply have loudness on their side.
There appears to be an issue with "conventional" themes.
For instance, the long standing love affair between Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter which underpinned Steves life, and so nicely concluded in Endgame, would we all have felt the same if it was Steve Rogers and Peter Carter?
Minorities don't drive box office, they never have and they never will.
Sony tried it with Ghostbusters(2016), and look how that failed? Just because your minority is vocal, does not equate that there is enough of them to go see your movie, in fact a lot of them simply didn't bother, because its easy to be vocal on Twitter, bit more of an effort when you have to spend real life money putting those views into action.
I think the fact that Endgame had a gay reference during the PTSD meeting was more natural than trying to shoehorn in a implicitly gay Avengers character.
Do gay people need a gay character to relate to? What if they relate more to Steve Rogers or Tony Stark?
The focus should always be on the story, the sexual proclivities of those characters seems unimportant in a comic book movie.
Just a typical kid response.
"I love you"....."yeah, well I love you x 2"..."but i love you x20"...."i love you 3000"....
Chances are a kid of that age thinks 3000 is a pretty big number, and it's the one time you don't compete with your child when they tell you how much they love you.
The number 3000 isn't really significant, other than it's a big number to the child when they want to convey how much they love someone.
Just don't see how that's possible. It has marginally more theatres than Captain Marvel but is pulling in half each day, and it's down to 2500 theatres in the US and nearly out the top ten and has another $45million to go to hit $400million.
Foreign, it seems to be done now, I just don't see how its mathematically possible for it to hit $400million at this point.
It was a fleeting conversation, but I took from it that it was a hint about Namor, but at the same time, the conversation about a gay man, I didn't hear that at all!
Hasn't Namor been hinted at already? Wasn't that the point of that discussion at the start about measuring an underwater earthquake in Endgame?
I don't think Hugo gives a shit. He made it quite clear he was doing the Transformers movies for the money, and they were pretty damned big at the time.
The thing is, thats exactly what they did.
All of the nay sayers spoke of how they were not going to see it, their comments sections were filled with guys saying "nope, not gonna see it, fuck Brie Larson!", and yet EVERY SINGLE ONE of those channels that said they wouldn't go see it....... ended up seeing it, so they could review it and slag it off some more.
And still the excuses came, and they hoped that they'd get a little win out of something, but they never did.
Warms my heart it does!
Nope, he didn't choose anything over his Red Skull role, he simply didn't like doing it and the makeup he had to wear.
Although he was contractually obliged to return, Marvel didn't force the issue.
13 year olds will be saddened to learn they are not part of your "circle of inclusion".
You're one mean sonafabitch!
I was under the impression that the events in Far From Home are set BEFORE Infinity War and Endgame?
Claiming that Godzilla is going to kill it in Asia is a bold claim, as the main market for it, Japan, is notoriously picky about American reimaginings of their favourite movies.
Godzilla(2014) did $29million in Japan. Their own Shin Godzilla did $77million in Japan.
I wouldn't necessarily bet on China bringing in massive numbers either, Godzilla did $77million there.... to put that into perspective, Terminator Genisys did $113million.
Detective Pikachu is one of those movies thats either going to do really well or so-so, either fans will welcome Ryan Reynolds involvement (which fundamentally changes the Pikachu character), or they'll reject it.
What you have to remember is they are not necessarily writing an article to be correct, they are writing an article to drive views.
What is going to drive more views? Doubting the movie will beat Avatar or one that says it will beat it?
Which one?
Youre still a moron, but still being polite about it.
The one thing youre forgetting is Captain Marvel is set in the 1990's, so of course the men are going to act more reflective of that time.
I could understand your point if it was supposed to be a commentary on men TODAY, but it wasnt.
I couldnt give a toss either way.
That you need hand holding is your problem not mine.
And youre a clown, just calling it like i see it :)
I still don't see what the issue is.
You would be saying the exact same thing if it was Cap instead of Tony, but what you don't seem to accept is both Cap and Tony had to have compelling reasons to not continue within the MCU, otherwise in future movies you'd be asking "so why is Tony and Steve Rogers not helping?"
Steve was made too old to help, and Tony was killed as a sacrifice, which goes right back to The Avengers when Steve said to Tony that he would never be the one to put his life on the line.
Its called an arc, and a pretty consistent one at that.
Sorry, but you're wrong.
Thanos was injured the first time he snapped, Thanos is magnitudes much stronger than Tony Stark.
Thanos was seriously injured the second time he used the gauntlet, Thanos is STILL magnitudes stronger than Tony Stark.
Banner was seriously injured the first time he snapped, Banner/Hulk is not as strong as Thanos.
You can suggest that it was lazy writing to kill off Tony Stark, but we know thats not true, because Chris Evans is also no longer in the MCU and they didn't kill him off.
The MCU has clearly shown that using all the stones at the same time is dangerous to the one wielding the stones, they've been UTTERLY consistent in that since the very first time it was used and every time after that.
You're wrong.
I do know what a plot hole is, and cutting and pasting wikipedia does nothing to help you here.
You're STILL conflating what happens in the comics. I think what your problem is, is you simply prefer the comic solution over the MCU one, which is fine in itself, but doesn't make the MCU version a pissing plot hole.
The MCU has set the rules of what happens with the Infinity Stones when all are brought together, NOT the comics.
Until you can let the comics go, you're still going to be stuck on this hook.
You still don't get it. The MCU doesn't follow the comics.
The problem with your perception, is that the stones can be used over and over and over and over and over again.
The MCU version has decided that they are too dangerous to be used all together over and over. They've given them a specific period of use, otherwise, we just get what you present, which is the stones being used over and over and over and over.
The movies have a specific arc, a saga, comics however, will do whatever is needed to reignite interest in a flagging comic book series, hence why so many characters that die, keep coming back to life!
Reality is altered just by the reality stone, the MCU is saying "using all the stones at the same time is dangerous", and you're going to have to accept that, because thats exactly what they presented.
