Good film, big fan of PS: the bad guys won in the first post-credits scene.Lt.

How can the concluding scene of a film be a "spoiler"?

I don't think the first credit sequence is really a sequel hook so much as "the actual ending of the film". (Spiderman FFH) It reveals what Quentin Beck's backup plan actually was, and that it was completely successful. Mysterio is a renowned hero, the guy who knows his true nature is discredited and even if Beck is dead his team can still "revive" him and continue with their plan once they've rebuilt their gear. It's the conclusion of the story and indispensable to the film. The second sequence reveals a twist in the film you just watched, although that one is mainly setting up for future films.

We do see Stark backslide into pro-Ultronism after the snap in Endgame. The film could've done with one more beat about how EDITH was bad but I guess they wanted to focus on Peter instead (which I think the film does well).

But anyone could watch Catgirl Pocahontas based on positive word of mouth while Sombre BTTF2 has a significant barrier to entry. I'n surprised it's done as well as it has given it has a more limited audience than most Marvel films.

I'm glad Waititi will almost certainly make another good film that will reach a wide audience, and also that he may yet avoid the Live Action Anime Adaptation black hole.

I imagine Thour will still have Hemsworth as the main character even if he's no longer 'Thor', he brought Waititi on board in the first place and they want to continue collaborating.

I think Hollywood's extreme cowardice regarding LGBT issues is because there are some international markets that still react badly to it. Fantasic Beasts strikes me as the most egregious example of this - Dumbledore was retroactively revealed to be gay after the original series was published and yet the prequel films about him basically ignore it. Capitalism is never going to effect social change, at best it will follow along after it has happened.

Killmonger is presented as a monster, but as a monster arising from Wakanda's unfair treatment of him (and perhaps its indifference towards the suffering of the wider world). I do think it's very deliberate that you can read him as a criticism of African Americans 'going too far' with anti-racism though, that's probably there to appease more right-wing audiences.

The Asgard scenes in Ragnarok were pretty incongruous but I haven't seen anything to suggest Waititi didn't have a good time making the film.

All indications seem to be that negotiations are ongoing. I agree with the take that the original leak was probably Disney trying to deflate Sony's threat of walking away by demonstrating there'd be a hostile fan reaction. Interestingly I've seen some rumblings that Disney wanted to bring Venom into the fold, which could be another point of contention.

Yeah, I think that's the only time I've really warmed to the character. They maybe should've played up that dynamic more. e: although I do think the implication that he learnt Japanese so he could drop some sick owns on yakuza members before killing them is really funny

I think the headline of that article is a misquote.quote:“I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”

I think Scorsese' comments are entirely reasonable when put into context. But everyone I've seen agree with him (or rather, the distorted headline version) comes across as a huge prick and that probably goes some way to explaining why 'high art' is so distrusted and maligned by the mainstream.

Snowman_McK posted:This is a weird take since Scorsese's movies are, with a few exceptions, pretty popular. He's not a niche director, he's achieved a fair bit of mainstream success. On some level I agree with Scorese in that Marvel films are action blockbusters, but I also think they make much more of an effort to "convey emotional psychological experiences" than the vast majority of blockbuster movies so it seems unfair to single them out.

I've found this entire manufactured drama to be more tiresome than anything and honestly this sums it up better than anything I've seen; everyone is arguing past each other because what Scorsese is saying and what everyone is working themselves up over hearing are fundamentally different things.
