This much preamble to understand a villain who is appearing for the first time in the series is an excellent example of why people are falling off the MCU.

It feels like they should have made a movie where we got to see, you know, all the cool shit that got Carol her reputation as The Annihilator. They skipped the best movie in the trilogy - like if Captain America went from period-piece origin story directly to Civil War without making Winter Soldier, but still had Cap…

But what about “THE MOMENT THAT cHaNgEs EvErYtH!Ng”?

I’m not sure what you’re so bothered by here. Variety reported that DaCosta left The Marvels while it was still in post-production to work on a new project. DaCosta confirms she left The Marvels when it was still in post-production to work on another project, but defends that decision as being justified by Marvel’s…

Uhh... “everywhere” else?

I’m looking forward to coming back here next week to rub your nose in the fact that The Marvels is 100% going to bomb.

So cool that they made the villian’s character a woman too! Such a brave, interesting choice that no one has ever thought of.

I can’t imagine how bad this must be for the avclub to give it a C.

I always thought this was a song that a 15 yr old girl singing in a mall would write. Turns out it was grown men originally.

Can I get a little love for Soft Cell’s version of “Tainted Love”?

VFX probably won’t be done until the week after it’s been released in theaters.

Honestly appalled that Disturbed’s cover of The Sound of Silence wasn’t on here. The vocals alone make you shiver. 

these are also good:

“Final trailer for The Marvels really wants you to think there won’t be any jokes”

They are fucked and this trailer shows it. Frontloading it with clips of other better movies to build hype by association. And it doesn’t even work at building any hype - that first chunk with the Avengers nostalgia gives way to a quick sketch of the threat, setting the stakes, the music gains intensity and builds to…

The music even does some little homages to the main Avengers theme.

It all seemed quite rushed. Sam turning on Emma seemed really quick. And the people in The Woods just deciding to start killing everyone surprised me. Did I miss Cate telling them all to go on a killing spree?

Thank You For Joking

You think The AV Club is a newspaper?

They’re free to go protest for womens abortion rights in the west bank. They can expend the energy protesting for LGBTQ rights in Lebanon or Saudi Arabia. They can use the energy to shout about child marriage in public the UAE.
