Also, the Mandarin doesn't use magic. It's alien technology. One of the reasons I really wanted them to take advantage of that in Iron Man 3 was that it would have had him having to confront someone that embraced something he feared.

I’d love to see them make good on that tease in the Marvel One-Shot with Ben Kingsley and have the real Mandarin show up.
No, the theory exists because some people simply can’t accept that great numbers of people don’t like what they like so clearly there are “nefarious” forces at work. This the equivalent of Johnny Depp blaming critics for the failure of The Lone Ranger.
Don’t worry. If Universal Studios is any indicator, Disney will level this ride in favor of some flavor of the week garbage like Frozen soon enough. #RIPJAWS
After being a lifelong fan of the ride, my friend eventually got the break of a lifetime and became an art designer/Imagineer for the Disney theme parks and was working on the most recent revamp of the ride when they put the Hatbox Ghost back in. He said it was pretty shocking to see the disrepair the ride is in when…
It’s almost like people can tell when they won’t like something. For example, I have never seen any of the Twilight films but I do know I have no interest in seeing it. You don’t need touch a burning stove to know it will burn you.
I’m a DC fanboy. As far as I’m concerned the DCAU is the best superhero stuff ever produced, Batman’s my favourite character, I’ve read almost exclusively DC comics until very recently. I tell you this to let you know that I am most definitely not a part of this alleged “Anti-DC groupthink” you are so paranoid about.…
No. Groupthink is someone who did like it saying they didn’t to keep the group in harmony. And it’d be impossible anyway since there is no “group” here and we’re all just individuals who disagree frequently.
Yes, Marvel has been repetitive. But
A: There’s no conspiracy. io9 rates Man of Steel, mostly - and you’ll see that if you don’t just rage but actually read. I love Marvel and DC, but overall, Marvel is making better movies right now. It’s not something to get angry at fans about.
A lot of people, particularly those really into film, don’t think the same movie twelve times in a row qualifies as fun and entertaining.
Seriously. He’s killed since day one. No one ever pretended he didn’t.
That still doesn’t change the fact that MoS and BvS are shitty movies and you’re a pretentious dudebro if you think they’re faithful to anything in the comics.
It doesn’t change the fact that unlike Snyder, the Russo brothers, James Gunn, Joss Whedon, and every other director who’s been involved in the MCU understands how character development, editing, basic storytelling, and telling a faithful adaptations work. It’s not that we’re anti-DC, we’re anti-shitty movies. Your…
Obsessively attacked for trying something different? You can hand out participation medals if you want but it’s not the thought that counts. They tried something different and it didn’t work.
The MCU films all having a “traditional structure” =/= making the same movie over and over.
The the DC movies didn’t suck, they wouldn’t get hate.

Except that we always knew Cap was a soldier. Anyone who’s sold you on the idea that Cap never killed anyone (at least in any modern interpretation of the character) may also try to sell you a bridge, beware.
I’m so over people being outraged over this. Honestly in the grand scheme of things this doesn’t matter. Asian actors are slowly getting bigger and bigger roles in American productions. I’m pretty sure when the screenwriters wrote this movie they had one person in mind for the role, and that was Tilda Swinton.
