Ah, there's the crux, and where we disagree. Cap absolutely knows that it wasn't right to conceal his knowledge of who killed Tony's parents. But he's done it anyway. And it's clear that he (and certainly the audience) sees some legitimacy in creating a framework of accountability for superheroic actions. And even…

Kang loves the character, but can also say that this is all true. Although it's also fair to say that 'Civil War' shows him finally doing things out of psychological desperation that are not 100% good.

Well, allow Kang to say that those are certainly fair game if you can't get on board with the whole Captain America concept. It's certainly not the most challenging cinema you're going to find, if that's your criteria. You're certainly much more reasonable and well-mannered than some others on this thread…

They're all non-comics authors. You're the one being willfully obtuse.

Love Winter Soldier, but it certainly isn't the sophisticated mystery that people pretend it is. It's completely transparent from the first fifteen minutes who the bad guy is going to be, but the pleasure is in watching the impeccable action and the wish-fulfillment of seeing the ultimate decent citizen Cap go up…

Love the absolute take-down of the 'War on Terror' that Iron Man 3 represents, but holy hell you are wrong about Winter Soldier.

And yet you're here, instead of reading real books.

'I believe this belongs to you, CAPTAIN AMERICA.' Watching Rudd play Scott Lang playing a superhero is fucking delightful.

GODDAMMIT.

Yeah, Kang wishes those dudes would disappear into the woods and leave the rest of us alone, amirite?

One would hope that Grave of the Fireflies does that to everyone, or they're sociopaths. Heaven help us if they ever figure out how to weaponize that movie.

Not only that, but Doctor Doom would definitely put asses in seats. He's a dictator in an Iron Man suit with a side of 'Game of Thrones'. People will eat that shit up.

Yes, as much as Kang dislikes the idea of a 'grounded' FF, if your director wants to go full-Cronenberg with the property, just let him. At least that way, you have a chance at getting an original, quality film even if it strays from the source. Instead, the suits and Kinberg hedged their bets. And we got… well,…

You aren't reading very well. 'Mouthparty' used the 'not cool' designation and I simply threw it back at him. No one's saying it's 'not cool' to compare them. It is however highly dubious to equate them, which is what Mouthparty insists on doing.

Not at all. It's the 'not all crimes are equivalent' argument.

Translation: 'At a recent press conference, Simon Kinberg took a handful of thin air and attempted to manufacture bargaining leverage against Marvel Studios. It was adorable.'

Wait? You DO know what happened?

Uncool=comparing the man to serial rapist Cosby?

Kang finds Winding Refn almost cartoonishly overrated. Drive is an exercise in style more than a film— a great surface in search of a movie.

Don't. You. Fucking. Touch. Osha.
