I guess a generation raised on "they hate our freedom" would think that's a realistic world view and that masses would flock and fight in support of it (Thanos' army in the flashbacks).

It still holds the record for longest film at #1 in theaters. It was in theaters for 40 weeks.

I remember breaking up with this girl in high school and thinking "well at least she can't drag me to Titanic now."

Then we ended up getting back together a few months later, and it was still in theaters, and I was like "poo poo."

It's a flat shot of what was presented to be a killing blow to the film's big bad villain. There's zero drama in the screencap, and it lacks any sense of struggle or conflict; it's just a dude staring at dude who is kneeling. There's no sense of depth, no contrast, etc., etc. Basically everything poo poo with Marvel's "house style" — it just looks boring and static. There's nothing cinematic/dynamic about the scene.


It's even worse in motion tbh. The forest makes for a boring backdrop, much like the airport during the big fight in Civil War.

Isn't there supposed to be a massive battle happening a few yards away too?

Disney's laying the seeds for a Marvel v DC crisis-style crossover.

The Disney Marvel/Disney Fox merger will be a test run for the lead up. Captain America/Cyclops team-up will beget a Captain America/Superman team-up.

This'll all happen in about 10-15 years so all the performances will be de-aged cg mocap.

I don't think it's a fair comparison to say that movies are on the same level of necessary as phones, cars and society. You can totally opt out of watching movies if you wanted to.

I don't want to opt out of watching movies I enjoy though. I'm lucky because I live in a city with dozens of small arthouse theaters that CAN program lesser known movies into their schedule, but I'd imagine the people living in the sticks where there's one or two megaplex theaters that only show studio mandated movies are poo poo out of luck.

Disney already proved that they're not afraid to throw their dick around either in regards to bullying other movies out of the theaters they want too. Tarantino was set to premiere The Hateful Eight at the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles and Disney basically paid the theater to break their contract so they can snake the date out from under Tarantino.

Like, the first act of Predator is about Ahnuld and co slaughtering a South American guerilla camp. John Rambo tears bloody swathes through Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Burma. I can think of, like, one action movie that values human life in any reasonable way and actually follows through on it, and that's Terminator 2, a movie where fans constantly bitch about that aspect even if they like the movie (because, shock, it goes directly against the usual tropes they expect).

Just because I whisper "hell yeah" when Arnold chucks a knife into a guerilla's stomach and says "Stick around" does not mean I can't acknowledge the fact that him and his guys are committing war crimes.

I can easily see one of the heroes in a future movie borrowing the quantum time tech go go visit Stark in the past and get some cutthroat capitalist advise on how to crush their enemy while monetizing/weaponizing the outcome along the way. Hell, Strange could do that without the tech.

Prove Steve didn't tell Peggy.

This is a dumb line to go down for the sake of making arguments and stirring things up versus having worthwhile discussion on the issues with the film, of which you normally give good food for thought. Of which, did you watch the movie yet or still operating from discussion/spoilers? I also haven't seen Revenge of the Nerds.

If he did tell her, then it says a lot about Peggy that the man she physically and emotionally knew in her life is still locked in a block of ice and she's completely cool with it so she can live a happily ever after with his alternate timeline displaced doppelganger.

In Revenge of the Nerds the protagonist of the movie disguises himself as his jock rival and performs cunnilingus on the jock's gf while she thinks it's the jock. When the protagonist reveals himself to her, instead of shock that she's just been raped, she commends him on his pussy eating skill and then they fall in love. In essence, Endgame ends in much the same way, except for the explicit pussy eating

(prove Steve didn't eat Peggy's pussy in the past)

You'd think they'd learn by now considering the thing that crushed Hellboy 2 was being released a couple weeks before The Dark Knight.

Then again, the new Hellboy was doomed from the start. They should've never tossed Del Toro and Pearlman's pitch for a 3rd one to end their storyline.

It took me a while to find SMG's original post on this in the Endgame thread, because I assumed there must be more nuance, and...it's a pretty bad take, yeah.

Like, yes, Cap isn't the same Steve Rogers she knew in WW2. But why would he need or want to withhold that truth from her? She fought Nazis who used a space-cube to make magic weapons, and went on to found a shadow-government agency dedicated to crazy sci-fi poo poo. The man she loved was turned into an Adonis using "vita-rays." She probably wouldn't be scandalized to learn that an extra-dimensional version of him traversed spacetime to go out for coffee.

On this point, it's pretty condescending to assume Peggy's too stupid to understand who alt-Steve is and lacks the agency to choose him regardless.

It's pretty callous to assume Peggy would be fine with leaving the person who she physically and emotionally cared for in a block of ice. Thawing him early won't stop him from time travelling in the future because like the movie says, you can't change the future. So again, why would she be fine with leaving the version of the person she's emotionally connected to in a block of ice? Imagine you slipped into a coma and immediately after, a you from the future shows up and fucks your girlfriend, then tells her that the version of you that's in a coma needs to stay in that coma or else it'll damage the future, so then your girlfriend builds her whole life around your duplicate. Then you wake up in the future, after she's spent decades with this doppelganger, and has now known him longer than she's known you. This is the making of a loving horror movie.

Are you confusing him with Armond White? I remember some goon accusing Armond White of making fun of school shooting survivors and SMG did the usual "Well, no, what's being said is..." and examined White's critique instead of jumping to some preconceived conclusion, but if you guys can cite/quote past posts instead of empty half-remembered accusations, it would go a long way to giving you a semblance of credibility instead of just being another goon jumping on a goon pile.

Yeah, but the rape discussion was born out of the possible implications that the movie presented, not because of some secret rape agenda.
