The jokiness and comedic choices are just part of the series. You gotta go with it, or move on. A captain with a hangover during duty, improbable and a terrible model for a crew. But played for the joke. Characters who never “stop to think.” Played for the joke.

RE: So yeah. White Democrats. They’ll fuck us over just slightly less than the GOP.

Odd how Ms Union apparently overlooked the women of color who were assaulted by Weinstein. And there are women of color who have not come forward because they still fear that there stories will be dismissed or minimized.

I presume that anyone who is a firm believer in the Second Amendment, especially if they view it as a way of defending themselves against the government if necessary, would also be against the government demanding that encryption backdoors be mandatory.

In the hacking world, a backdoor is, by definition, low hanging fruit.

I dismiss most stuff like that. Also, it’s not my problem. The producers and executives have to deal with that. And if you look at Hollywood history, the actors and actresses labeled “difficult to work with” often do the best work and make the movies and tv shows they appear in much better.

I was neutral about Lady Sif and all the Warriors 3. I liked Valkyrie much more. I am sorry that the actress who plays Lady Sif didn’t get to appear in this film, but I understand it was because of scheduling conflicts.

I agree with you here, but maybe for another reason. I never cared about Ant Man. I barely remember him from the time I read comics. I would have been fine with a film about Wasp.

The movie is more efficiently paced with Agent 13's story minimized.

Comic books are soaps. They even share some of the same tropes (evil twins, for example). The only difference is that in comics, the “romance” involves a superhero and villain who just can’t quit the hero.

Yeah. The 600 million is an odd exaggeration. Justice League could have been better, it should have been better. Even with the personal tragedy that forced Snyder to have to leave the production, WB should have taken more time to develop and produce a better film. I don’t think that Marvel is perfect, but they get…

I’m seeing JL box office as $485 million as of November 27. That is under-performing. I will allow that “struggling” might be too strong.

Dammit. You just spoiled the end of the movie. Yes, Thanos’ mom is named Martha. Marthanos. ;)

The release of the Infinity War trailer now, while Justice League is struggling at the box office, is just cold. Just cold.

I thought I was pretty clear about this. Falcon and Black Widow are strong supporting characters in the Captain America movie. Their actions and point-of-view with respect to the protagonist are essential to the narrative. It’s almost like a throwback to old fashioned movie making, where you had a strong stable of…

Maybe it’s a trend that a woman-led movie often has an all male team. Maybe it’s just laziness.

I guess I kinda don’t care, in some ways. I liked the supporting characters in Wonder Woman, including Etta Candy. And the scenes on Paradise Island showed a range of women supporting their queen. Ghost in the Shell was a mess and none of the characters were very interesting. It would have been just as awful with a…

This is why Marvel executives get paid the big bucks, to figure these things out. But hell, based on positive audience reaction to the character, Marvel could do a Valkyrie film.

Sadly, Marvel knows that there are male comic and movie fans who demand movies which focus on the male character, and who look at superheroes as avatars of adolescent male ego.
