Ghost Head posted:I wonder how much say the directors had in not only using Captain Marvel but how they used her. I seem to remember a while back they were asked during an interview about the sort of outrageously powerful versions of these characters that are in the comic books and they basically said that having them that strong leads to muddled storytelling or something. And sure enough Captain Marvel arrives in the movie as a completely unstoppable force of nature and everyone is sitting around after the movie going "why didn't she just do x". They're probably fairly pissed they had to use her. They'll probably go the superman route in the future where she has to spend time saving civilians or there is inexplicably one bad guy who can match her blow for blow.

OldPueblo posted:Well this thread went into the toilet quickly. How about rather than doing the forced mental gymnastics of trying to label Captain America a rapist and all around bad person we focus on more important things. Like what happened to the bitter wizard trainer guy at the end of Dr Strange? I just realized he never showed back up. Quick, what time line was he in and did he rape that guy when he took away his leg mobility magic?!? He's presumably still going around stealing magic from people and be the bad guy in Dr. Strange 2

Dren posted:oh yeah and where did War Machine get that brand new armor from between being crushed by rubble and being saved by Ant Man They were literally at their main base, maybe its an older model considering it's bigger and bulkier than his old one. Or it's just an alternative armor for when he has to do heavy fighting

teagone posted:Yeah, but... why didn't Carol put on the gauntlet and just wipe Thanos and his armies off the face of every reality? There was plenty of time when A-Force was assembling, and she's clearly as strong, if not stronger than Thanos. It probably wouldn't even hurt her to activate all the stones. I think the "snap Thanos and his army away" was just a last resort thing when it became clear that Thanos wasn't going to stop no matter what.

Just a good old-fashioned "hey, so, everything between us and you is going to be lit up, s'cool?" spectacle. There were ravagers walking out of the portals, it was really easy to miss them though

DrNutt posted:This would generally be a good thing to show the audience in your movie, rather than have your directors have to clarify later "uh yeah oh Thanos only killed half the Asgardians (who had already likely been culled way over half by the events of Ragnarok) and the rest of them escaped on lifeboats." They just suck at showing it. At the start of IW the ship is already split in half but its surrounded by debris which most people would assume is the rest of the ship

It really did feel like they were setting up a scenario where Tony would have to choose between his daughter and the lives of everyone they lost. Then they decided to go with the ultra cheesy 'everyone wins and is happy' without thinking about the implications of half of the population aging 5 years. Same thing with Cap's 'happy' ending.

Her paper football scene with Tony was cute  Kinda interesting that she was with the Avengers longer (5 years) than the Guardians (maybe a couple weeks?) Being around the Avengers was probably her first real taste of camaraderie and family

Empress Brosephine posted:How come instead of running away with the gauntlet from Thanos they didn’t just put it on and snap Yeah I mentioned this in another thread I think. Tony could have just removed the stones from the gauntlet and flown away with them. Thanos can't fly and his ship is destroyed. There are at least two people capable of overpowering Thanos at that battlefield. There was a shot of Rocket about to get eaten by a space whale that gets dusted but Tony has survived a trip inside one of those things before. Have Mantis put Thanos to sleep then throw him into the sun or space jail or whatever

thrawn527 posted:Right, so without the Guardians, they get screwed by Ronan. With the Guardians, they get screwed by Thanos. Either way, they’re screwed. Was Ronan really a threat to Xandar without the stone though? I thought the real threat was him using the stone to blow up the planet. Otherwise it would have just been a conventional war/battle that he may or may not win. Maybe that type of conflict would have drawn the attention of Captain Marvel.

precision posted:Was Iron Woman foreshadowed before this movie though? It came extremely out of nowhere and seemed like mostly a convenient way to have Pepper be there when he dies. Not really. The helmet Morgan borrows in her first scene is the part of the armor but I think most people just assumed it was a different colored variant of Tony's armor. I guess she took up superheroing in the 5 year timeskip ruddiger posted:Also, the MCU has confirmed souls and an afterlife, which Peter said he didn't go to, which also goes against the "brutally murdered" theory. Refresh my memory, when did they confirm an afterlife?
