suPERherO faTiGue! Aaaaannnny day now....

Wrong Bruce.

They would never do it because it's not as impressive as saying how much money a movie made but they should instead mention how many tickets were sold. These movies keep breaking records because ticket prices keep going up. 

I can only assume that there’s a heavy incentive to include as many links as possible in an article, because bragging about how you predicted that the latest Marvel movie would win its opening weekend (while kinda sorta ironically making fun of the fact that you’re bragging about it) is pretty sad indeed.

Everything Everywhere was great!

What I love is that critics of the MCU will parrot the Scorsese elitism/criticism that these aren’t “real” movies and just amusement park rides, but in the next breath claim the movies are too complicated with too much backstory for people to jump into. Which is it? Are they not real narratives, and just spectacle? Or…

“before you accuse Marvel Studios and Disney of bullying theater chains and bruce-forcing their way to that $185 million”

As everyone could’ve predicted (we got this one right, but we’re not exactly going to pat ourselves on the back for it),

Can’t wait for the “too cool for school” squad to start telling us how this is the end of all cinema.

I have enough love for both films.

She’s not a housewife! Grrr. 

I did find myself wondering “Are the Avengers just ignoring two gods having a Kaiju battle in a very public place?”

Also a nice nod to how representation matters.

It absolutely is. For her (and everybody else) superheroes are commonplace, but she was thrilled to find out there were Egyptian superheroes. Also a nice nod to how representation matters.

Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of room. I know there was an interview with the showrunner where he really wanted to squeeze in Kingo from the Eternals, but it would have been an odd fit.

Really surprised they didn’t do something with the notion of Egyptian gods and the fact that a character named God Butcher is coming.

In a way, the young woman excited to specifically see an Egyptian hero is an acknowledgement we are in the MCU world full of other heroes.

I guess you missed the two separate Rama-Tut (Kang the Conquerer) references then?

There was also a reference made to Madripoor.

I think it really helped Moon Knight remain standalone by a) having literally no need to incorporate any existing MCU stuff (everything on Disney+ so far tied into an existing franchise/character, for example) and b) setting it in two locales not really used in the MCU so far (Sarf Lahndan and Egypt).
