Mentioning Guardians might have been counter-productive because that is probably the comic adaptation that is the least faithful to the source material. Honestly, knowing myself, I would have enjoyed it less if I had read the comics prior to watch the film.

Maybe we don't like the same elements of the comic. I'm not purist enough to wish they had kept the Shakespearean way of speaking that Lee wrote but they did give the character a sense of nobility that the first two films tried not to stray too far from.

How? Not being a dick, I'm just curious.

I can only judge what they show us, can I? If the marketing wants me to think the movie has that tone, I have to trust that's what it is.

I don't like this. I mostly like the first two films, flaws and all, because they got the cast and characters right (something WB's films struggles with). I thought the pieces were promising even if the films didn't quite deliver. If you add Cate Blanchett to those pieces, my expectations will go up.

Most of Quebec's swear word began as religious words but morphed into their own different things over the years because the people swearing no longer go to church and often have no idea what the word they are saying is supposed to mean or sound like.

The reviewer said he didn't care about his family, I just said he did. I don't think it excuses anything at all.

Your points are all good but what he is saying is that "Thor" isn't a mantle, it's a name. "God of Thunder" is the mantle, and if Marvel wanted to give Mjolnir to Jane Foster, she would be Jane, Goddess of Thunder. She should not be called Thor, even if she has the powers of Thor, dixit Mjolnir.

Actually, it's easier to compare Iron Heart with War Machine: both can be considered Iron Man clones, neither are called Iron Man, but Iron Heart was sold as the new Iron Man. It was completely unnecessary unless the whole point was to create good press, which it was.

Diversity has always been part of Marvel's DNA. The first Black superhero, the first African-American superhero, a blind superhero, a bald superhero in a wheelchair, etc… Speaking of the later, Giant-Size X-Men #1 turned the X-Men into a comic with and about diversity, and was super-popular for a very long time. The…

I don't think Rick is a monster. Wait, let me re-phrase that: Rick is definitely a monster but he's not as bad as he says he is. He has shown multiple times that he cares about his family but that he considers sentimentality as a sign of weakness. That he would lie when confronted about it is completely in-character…

Keeping a grudge of this intensity so many years after the fact does not make her look good whether she initially had a good case or not. Worse, it makes her look like someone who would be difficult to work with, and the fact that it's always been her vs the rest of the cast would tend to confirm that.

I did not know Liz Allan was in the film. I knew about Thompson. As for Leeds, I didn't know that's who that kid was supposed to be and frankly, I have good reasons. Leeds is a journalist in both main continuity and the Ultimate Universe and he doesn't look like that at all. So no, it still doesn't feel like the…

This doesn't seem enough for me. If the ark of the film is that he has to prove himself by defeating the Vulture without the suit, that solution is only temporary.

This movie does nothing for me. I accepted an awful lot of changes to the cannon with TAS because I knew the films couldn't repeat the Raimi movies. Yet, Homecoming looks like it's going to deviate even further and I can't recognize the comic I like anymore, no matter how good Tom Holland is.

It's good that Cooper Draper Pryce gets credited but it's a fictional agency. Shouldn't the real writers who wrote that scene also get credit? And money?

He didn't "best natives at their own game", he punched a dragon. This isn't Karate Kid and Danny Rand isn't the best martial artist of the Marvel universe, he's just the one that punched that dragon.

The race of the character should not have been an issue at all. Danny Rand is white in the comics and although martial arts were born in Asia, people of all races have been good at it. I would have been okay if the character had been changed as Asian but when people starts using the word "racism", that's where they…

I think we're in agreement: they had many different possible options to avoid that problem. This mess is entirely their own doing.

The stupidest thing about the show was pointed out by Alan Sepinwall. Apparently, the fight scenes don't look that great because the character wears no mask, therefor most stunts has to be performed by the actor, not stunts double.
