Right, but Thanos had a clear goal: “Gather the stones of great power.” We knew he wasn’t “good” so his villainous intent was clear even if we didn’t know what his endgame ( wink ) was.

spider-man no way home really broke everything.

tbh, i’d rather they go the Poochie route. Opening title scroll: “Kang died on the way back to his home planet. Doom rises.”

i mean the marvels was a flop. it happened. that’s what it looked like.

I realize I’m not stating anything new. But after Endgame, they stopped trying to make good movies with good stories and it just became “hey look it’s a cameo from that character from that other movie 20 years ago!! *applause break for hooting and hollering nerds in audience*”.

We need a long break from these movie…

I don’t think it was anyone who had seen the movie saying it was too complicated. I think it was people watching trailers and making the general observation on the MCU overall.

Which, I don’t really understand why there’s such a stringent group that refuses to believe people who say the MCU feels like homework now.…

Because there’s a massive gulf between “someone that went out of their way to not watch or absorb anything from any of the previous ones” and the average moviegoer who doesn’t watch everything the MCU puts out.

Yeah the 10 seconds I spend a day telling you that you’re stupid definitely justifies your claim that my life “revolves” around this.

You need your head checked.  There are countless films with women as the hero in action movies.  

I’m reminded of the viral tweet that Maddie Whittle posted back when the original film came out: “Any little girl for whom seeing CAPTAIN MARVEL has an appreciable effect on her self-worth, her ambitions, or her sense of what’s possible for her own life, is an unimaginative bore and I don’t care to know her.”

Where have you been in the last 40 years? Never heard the likes of Thelma & Louise, Aliens, Working Girls, Terminator, Jurassic Park (character Ellie Sattler is actually co-lead the movie, she ably saved the others bacons several times)? Just to name a few. Audiences never hate strong women characters.

The Mission Impossible movies only demand a tangential knowledge of the other Mission Impossible movies, of which there are a relative few.

The Terminator Aliens The Abyss Terminator 2 Titanic Avatar

James Cameron has made a 40-year career out of making movies with women leading the way, and audiences absolutely loved it. Additonally, horror audiences have loved Halloween and Nightmare and Screm, and sci-fi audiences have loved the Alien franchise and the…

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

The timing of the strike has nothing to do with what I’m saying. My point is Reilly considers himself an activist and Virgo tries to leverage an anticapitalist message; he’s getting paid by the worst post-capitalist offender and going after a fellow artist for basically saying “I hope there can be a resolution to this…

Feels a lot like people are trying to find the least generous reading of a nonstatement.

For anyone out there wondering if they’re biased, here you go. If you can read a statement that says “I can understand the positions of both parties in a conflict” and take it to mean “I am siding with the party that you are against” then the test is positive and you are indeed biased.

Throughout this this entire thread you’re still ignoring the fact that nearly 2/3 of the people who started watching the show thought it was so bad they couldn’t go on. I’m in the third who finished and thought it was so awful I hate-watched until the end just so I could mock it with everyone else on the internet. Are…

If you spend a half a billion dollars on eight episodes, and figuratively no one watches the last four, then you’ve wasted a quarter of a billion dollars. What is the point of spending millions on something no one* watches?

The io9 version of the story, linking to the Hollywood Reporter, said the Day 1 global audience was 25 million viewers. That means - at minimum - 9.25 million people watched the full series.
