Yvonmukluk posted:To be fair, they'd established that SHIELD had stopped existing at the end of Winter Soldier (and the movies have only just acknowledged the existence of one of the TV series with Original Jarvis in Endgame), so he'd be unemployed. Yeah. Agents of SHIELD technically exists in the MCU as long as they don't have to reference it at all.

See, this I'd like to watch.

The best part about AoS having a giant asterisk chained to its neck was Robert Downey Jr. saying repeatedly that he wanted to cameo or guest star in an episode as Tony Stark ala Sam Jackson in the first season and Marvel Studios brass wouldn’t let him.

yeah, MBJ is loving amazing is everything he is in. i liked killmonger until he shot his gf but still thought he was right until he burned the plants and his plan ended up being "well just give rebels/underclass laser weapons and hope for the best" instead of opening wakanda and openly showing the world its a super duper power and then solving all of africa problems, internal and external while daring the US/china to try anything and then giving weapons to factions.

Seriously, though, if you want an MCU thing that really examines deep themes you should all be watching Cloak & Dagger. And I'm not just saying that because I desperately want it to get a third season. OK, that's exactly why I'm saying it. But it is really good.

The funniest thing about black panther to me, aside from the ending where t'challa plans to solve racism by teaching oakland kids how to code, is how its extremely obvious that they realized during script revisions that Killmonger was 100% justified in everything he did and completely reworked his character in the third act to t try and distract the audience from this

Yeah that's a... really bad take on a dude whose whole life kind of spiraled out of control thanks to mental illness issues. Yes, he is ultimately responsible for his own choices and he did chose to destroy his career and multiple friendships and professional partnerships, but his mental illness was a big driving factor in those choices. So going "lol gently caress that guy" is a bit harsh in retrospect.

Groovelord Neato posted:his justification was he didn't think he could judge the film fairly because the original is one of the greatest comedies ever made. So I needed a memory refresh and I apparently didn't quite remember the video (I remember a totally different one, so whee brain problems) but this still isn't particularly accurate. That said, while poking around trying to get a better picture of the whole thing, I found this blog post that perfectly summarizes what I'm getting at. In a vacuum, Rolfe's opinion was just your usual nerd detritus that's a dime a dozen on the internet, but in the greater context of the shitstorm and how he presented that opinion, it's a bad look even if he doesn't out and out say "I don't like cuz womz". He actually has an aside where he plainly states the movie having a female cast "doesn't matter"...though also naively implies that everyone calling it the "female Ghostbusters" is simply down to not having anything else to call it because of the re-used title. (And Rolfe's usual annoyance with confusing titles might be something you know about if you're a diehard fan, but from the outside looking in it comes off a lot more flimsy.) As I've said before, I don't think he's a chud and people jumped to a lot of conclusions, but there was a greater collision of circumstances beyond "woke twitter got trigger happy over nothing".

Hemingway To Go! posted:What's the proper way to say you don't want to watch the new Ghostbusters movie without getting busted. well apperently to some there isn't. because if you say you don't care for it/hated it. that means you hate women and womens movies and are a evil reactionary or are helping them somehow. I didn't like that movie, it could have been interesting but it wasted its time on really bad improv and stupid poo poo. i didnt care for WW mostly because of the setting and the weird theme fuckery at the end. i thought black panther was cool but could have done more with its setting and characters same with captain marvel. i thought the last jedi was ok though it could have gelled together better and it felt to broad for the story/themes it was trying to do. i also liked 7. people can have different opinions.

Count me among the people who hope Spoony finds some peace. He was easy to dunk on in earlier, more innocent times, but... like... there's actual Nazis again. A guy who was kind of a jerk for a while because he's mentally ill as gently caress feels like kind of a mean target, and I mostly just wanna hug the dude nowadays.
