Wife: How was the episode?

I more-or-less expected the heel-turn, but I expected it to not be, “Oh just kill every man, woman, and child in King’s Landing for no goddamn reason.”

Which fans are you insulting?  

I thought it was widely established that Hulk is *just* this side of indestructible, and Tony is 100% squishy human. 

At that point the plan wasn’t to use the gauntlet to snap again. It was to get it away from Thanos and return the infinity stones or whatever. That was a last minute audible for someone to use it that way.

It comes across as a For Me It Was Tuesday until you realize that 2014 Thanos literally has never seen her.

Exactly. The general public accepted the Trolls movie. The general public accepted Wreck-It Ralph and Inside Out. And the general public has accepted Sonic in other forms for 30 years. The idea that the general public needs the military and an origin story to ease them into basic cartoon logic is baffling.

I dunno, Detective Pikachu seems to be going straight in assuming people will be able to figure out the concept.

So I do agree with your concept, except that Sonic already looks so mind-bendingly insane that you may as well Goof everything around him up by an extra 70%. We might know what kind of movie we’re in for then. As it stands the tone is all over the place in this trailer.

It’s bizarre how so many Hollywood adaptions are prequels to the stuff people actually like about the property.

The final shot is Carrey looking proper Robotnik with weird mushrooms in the background. Like, can we just fast-forward to that? Just make that the movie.

Kids love Sega Genesis references.

30 years from now, there’ll be a Rogue One type sequel where the lone survivor of the family killed by that bench plots her revenge against an old and weakened Professor Hulk.

Natasha better still be alive because the disrespect shown to her death in this movie was INFURIATING

Before the movie a staff member came in and asked us make sure we didn’t bring up any spoilers as we were walking out as there would likely be people in the lobby waiting to see the next showing, at which point some dipshit shouted out “IRON MAN DIES!” followed by “JUST KIDDING, HE DOESN’T REALLY DIE.” I’ll give him…

this is a scene that would’ve been worth filming

I’ve often given this team of writers and directors credit for making pretty smart choices about how to subvert audience expectations and stay true to the characters, give the crowd huge moments without it purely being pandering (didn’t quite escape that trap here though, but hey it’s the final movie, it’s a love…

That was SO INFURIATING. Tony gets an entire speech and funeral and (kind of) grave stone but Natasha gets....Hulk slamming his fist really strongly? WTF

This is a universe with magic so you can kind just say a wizard fixed it cause who gives a shit?

Yeah, I didn’t like that, either. It was as though they got half way through the film and everyone was like, “Wait, is Killmonger...right? Like, is he the good guy now?” So they tossed him some stuff to make him a total psycho.
