RareAcumen posted:So since Endgame's out and it's legal to talk about Marvel movies as long as no one's crying in the theater, what did Brie Larson do exactly? Did she say something like 'Of all the movies that're probably coming out, I'd be most excited to see Shuri get her own really.' And most comments about her range from 'A wet rag of a character' to 'unlikable stuck up bitch' So I've gotta know like, what'd she do? Did she say gamers are dead or something? said "no one wants to hear white male opinions" about wrinkle in time's failure and so net chuds took it upon themselves to attack her and whine constantly about her in order to protect the weak white race from mayocide.

So, does anybody know anything about this? I'd hate to think that Kyle is a bad guy. https://twitter.com/ravenalegria13/status/1122935685671989248 https://twitter.com/ravenalegria13/status/1122936967560409088

Senerio posted:I think I found your answer I never caught any of the dialogue about The Ancient One back when Doctor Strange came out that weren't collar tugs about how Tilda Swinton was playing the character now and- uh maybe something about whitewashing? I think there was something about the character originally being Tibetan but I cannot remember- that's about it. I had to wonder because I just suck at finding people getting mad about these movies. In my world-because I'm oblivious- there wasn't a lot of people getting mad at Scarlet Witch, Gamora, Nebula, but the Black Widow hate still certainly existed.

The worst thing Brie has been involved with recently doesn't even really have anything to do with her. Like it's not her fault in any way. She and Jimmy Fallon played Beat Saber on his show a few days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05pzUXujMJU The network put the entire clip on their YouTube channel of course, but now tons of Beat Saber content is getting flagged as belonging to The Tonight Show. Jimmy, Jimmy please.

RareAcumen posted:Both obviously, what the gently caress kinda question is that? A rhetorical one. Dean of Swing posted:You have been posting since 2013, you tell me. Someone's past informs their future but doesn't define it. While I am saddened to hear about how Kyle's last relationship hurt this person I don't believe that should somehow invalidate what he's done to discuss depression over the years. I certainly wouldn't want to be judged based off of my dumbass teenage posting from six years ago since I'm not exactly proud of my opinions from back then. I don't think anyone enjoys being judged based on who they were as opposed to who they are now. You have to weigh the past against the present and if someone has taken steps to change for the better then I support that effort. So I am interested to see what Kyle says, if he chooses to say anything on this matter. At the same time I'm not dismissing these allegations out of hand. I try not to dwell on things and I can't imagine what it must be like to have a bad relationship hang over you for years like this. It's got to suck.

I was really hoping this would not snowball - suffice to say there is a lot that she is leaving out. I and a lot of other people were there in 2014 and remember this incident (we all lived in NYC at the time, and Kyle had roommates - he wasn't the only person there that night) and it is absolutely wild to me that calling 911 on a person threatening suicide in your apartment lobby when you refuse to let them in is being spun as "abuse." Please don't promote this. I am sure she believes she is telling the truth, and I am sure it was traumatic for her (hell, I've been committed for similar suicidal bullshit - it ain't fun), but she is wildly misrepresenting what happened.

As far as what she actually does in Endgame, it's very little. She's not one of the main characters and she's absent for the bulk of the runtime.

This is because Endgame was written and shot before Captain Marvel so they didn't even know what the gently caress she was supposed to be as a character at the time beyond "supter strong, laser fists, punches Thanos a lot." The opening 10 minutes of Endgame makes it abundantly clear that she could have solved Infinitey War in 2 seconds, so they had to come up with whatever bullshit excuse they could to bench her until the real climax.

I forgot about that movie. I remember seeing People or Life had a special edition covering the movie, and I thought it was interesting Oprah was in it (since the last movie I remember her being in was 'The Butler') and then I never heard anything else about it. I think the only other thing I thought was, "Didn't they make an animated version of that book?" Then I realized I was thinking of The Phantom Tollbooth.

Aside from that, Endgame is about ending ten years of buildup and you can't really do that by devoting too much screentime to the last-second newcomer over the characters you've watched for the past decade. She does what needs doing and gets some fantastic action against Thanos in the final showdown that really does show she would've stopped him clean the first time, but that's all she really could contribute without being to the detriment of a cast-driven movie. Especially one with a very large main cast that's fundamentally a capstone on the franchise thus far.

Everyone thinks they can beat Thanos until he instantly turns them into a pile of meat cubes. The only reason he doesn't utilize it more often is because he likes to fight. Hubris.

Hubris. https://twitter.com/whmullally/status/1122933668228599808 i found this funny and it works with the character. thanos could actual solve problems and make the universe a utopia with infinite resources but he is death obsessed clown who thinks he is so great that only his dumb answer is the right one and it becomes his obsession. i like how that endgame addresses that too to an extent. like his answer to seeing that his plan doesn't result in Utopian wonderland is doubling down and saying "welp just leave no survivors and start competently anew than".

Dapper_Swindler posted:https://twitter.com/whmullally/status/1122933668228599808 They did a good job of retconning Thanos from the generic conqueror hinted at early on into what he became for Infinity War. It helps shape some of the moments like realizing he really does love Gamora as his own daughter as he decides how badly he wants the Soul Stone. Balancing the Cosmic Scales isn't just a tyrant's means to Conquer The Universe, he legitimately thought it would make life better for the surviving half and the moment it was done he destroyed the stones so nobody could do anything worse with them. Or undo what he did. Or allow them to drift back into Phase 4+, come to think of it .

I typically like Coffin's videos, but I'm hesitant to watch one critiquing media representation if it features a character with blue hair in the thumbnail. Edit: I'm trying to watch it now. I'm someone who has passionate views about media representation and its limits, and this is one Coffin video where the skits and characters really are making it way less watchable.

It would be poor storytelling if the only reason the heroes failed in Infinity War was that Captain Marvel wasn't around. Endgame was the 22nd movie and she was only introduced in the 21st. Hopefully in future she'll beat up that planet-eater with the stupid helmet after appropriate buildup. When it comes to future team-ups she'll have to be used in such a manner that she doesn't render every one else irrelevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFuMpYTyRjw

I mean the poor writing is the result, the “excuse” in this case would be that corporate wanted to push a new flagship character and since the two movies weren’t being made by the same people the writers of Infinity War had to write for a character that didn’t exist yet and avoid contradicting a movie that wasn’t out yet, without any clairvoyance to speak of.

It's impossible to have that work, sorry. Either you make them irrelevant or they solve the issue by themselves, because they're omnipowerful. You saw Captain Marvel gently caress off for almost all of Endgame because the writers didn't know what to do with her. Almost like Superman style characters are bad...
