I just realized Hulk could have brought back both Vision and Black Widow before they sent the Infinity stones back and they just didn't bother to try.

Yeah, I think there's probably kids who've gotten into comics because of the movies, but no one over the age of 20 has gotten into comics because of the movies.

Do regular people even care about Scorsese's remarks on Marvel movies or is it just a relatively small group of terminally online nerds who won't stop screaming about it on twitter and reddit? I find it very hard to believe it's anything besides the latter. Kind of like how people bitch and moan when their nerd movies have  in them.

Regular people probably don't even know who Scorsese is and they also don't care that much about the MCU beyond possibly watching it because its popular. I'd imagine most people are indifferent to comic book stuff.

DeimosRising posted:Absolutely. Criminals are the definition of cool, what the gently caress else does cool mean? The thing is that these criticisms are all about how movies should be morality plays, and coming entirely from offended Marvel fans. Unlike being a loving mobster, being a PMC in a mascot uniform isn’t cool at all, and it’s at least as evil There's a good line in the book Wiseguy from Paul Cicero: "A steak tastes twice as good on a stolen credit card."

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Smart Hulk says he tried to being Natasha back but it didn't work. He tried with his first snap that brought everyone else back. No one tried to use the gauntlet again after Tony's snap that got rid of Thanos' army. I figured it didn't work the first time because it only gives you one wish at a time. Might try just wishing for Natasha back without also the other poo poo.

Yea even beyond not reading comics having some magical disaster happen at the climax of part 1 of a 2 parter in a blockbuster maxi-series where a decade of follow up movies have been announced and thinking “noooo they’re gone forever!” shows a fascinating lack of media awareness. This is straight up like stories about people jumping out of the way at the first film where a train comes toward the camera.

On no, this multibillion dollar franchise definitely killed off all the most popular characters even though I know every single one of them have sequels in production right now!

Scorsese is cool. Being a gangster is prob cool. The thing is (which often gets overlooked in these movies/shows) is that most of the time you're well into your 40s before you even get to be a mob guy. So living it up for 10+ or so years seems pretty appealing over just having a lovely day job your whole life even if it means taking one to the back of the head when youre old. Even then a a lot of people see these former OC guys who just end up cooperating and going off to write books and become youtube famous or whatever. (Pistone (a cop but still never retaliated against), Hill, Franzese, Gravano, ect) So I can see how a certain amount of people who see the consequences and just say gently caress it. MCU sucks

making GBS threads on Marty is just performative at this point. It's like tryhards who want to be edgy about Citizen Kane. Still wish more people knew about The Age of Innocence... might be his most beautiful-looking film.

The second killed Tony. The Gauntlet even crippled Thanos. Its not exactly a tool you can just troubleshoot with multiple tries. Like who draws that "probably die on the theory that maybe you had to wish Nat back on her own" card? Even if they did think it was the case (and I don't think we're really ever given any kind of "one wish at a time" indication) it seems like a thing they decide isn't worth the risk.

Yeah, it fried his arm, but he could try again later after he healed. Thanos' arm only got fried by wishing to destroy the infinity gems. He was fine in the immediate aftermath of killing half the population of all worlds, which indicates the feedback or whatever you wanna call it is relative to the individual wish.

I just found one of the best movie synopses I've ever seen Having abandoned modern civilization, Ryoichi lives an isolated, self-sufficient life on a snow-covered mountain and sends mail bombs to the CEOs of corporations and TV networks. One day, he encounters a mysterious creature in the forest. That night, his older brother, who had committed suicide, appears before him at his cabin. The apparition takes Ryoichi beyond a door, where Ryoichi learns the truth about his family.

Marvel is cool. Being an Avenger is prob cool. The thing is (which often gets overlooked in these movies/shows) is that most of the time you're well into your 40s before you even get to leave the franchise. So living it up for 10+ or so years seems pretty appealing over just having a lovely day job your whole life even if it means taking an Infinity Gauntlet to the back of the head when youre old. Even then a a lot of people see these former Avengers guys who just end up cooperating and going off to write books and become Disney famous or whatever. (Nick Fury (a cop but still never retaliated against), Captain America, Drax, Black Panther, ect) So I can see how a certain amount of people who see the consequences and just say gently caress it.

If you have to curtail your storytelling to make sure the dumbest of your audience doesn’t misinterpret what you’re saying, nothing good would ever get made. It’s why Poe’s Law is bullshit. Just in general, I don’t listen to Twitter anymore, everyone still on Twitter at this point is deeply up Twitter’s rear end and I have no time for that.

It's the Color of Money, it's an American film set in America, so it uses the American spelling. Spelling wasn't formalized in either country until well after America became it's own country. If there's a British film with the word Colour in the title I'll use that spelling when referring to that film.
