Ha, yeah there’s definitely a “big superhero action finale,” but I think we’re more forgiving of this one because the directors stage it as eye candy while they focus on the Cap/Bucky conflict. No one was really worried about the guidance chips (or whatever,) we just knew that the rest of the characters needed…

Winter Soldier is the absolute crown jewel of the MCU. Breihan's right in that its reputation as a spy thriller is a little overblown. It's very much an action flick with some spy elements, but WHAT an action flick it is!

I hope to own a Yellow Dog one day.

Pretty sure Quincy Jones is the type of man who reciprocated oral sex with his partners, so he's got that on Kahled, too. 

He’s tied* for first place in the “Worst Things About the Movie ‘Cats’” Awards.

I think this article falls into the "let's examine a secondary aspect of this story" category without minimizing the central issue. 

That's it, everyone. The internet gas achieved its purpose. Shut it down. 

“I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.”

I’m sure most black people already know this, but I’m gonna say it out loud just for the record:
