I don’t know--they hate me there. But based on my high school days...yes, probably.

Also, he got to play Han fucking Solo.   That’s not nothing to nerds like me.

haha fuck I forgot about him in Cocaine Bear--he is a funny dude.

Ehrenreich was pretty brilliant in Oppenheimer (and was not bad at all in Solo) and Routh was pretty much destined to be a TV star, if we’re being frank.  He’s enjoyable enough, but he aint Daniel-Day Lewis.

I mostly agree, though not sure you can blame the directors for much of anything, given Marvel pays them a ton of money, gives them huge exposure, then tells them the movie they will make and will still go edit it later without the director’s input.  There’s a reason some directors turn them down--Edgar Wright, of…

Captain Marvel definitely suffers from the Superman problem though to a lesser degree, I suppose.  There’s a point where a character is so powerful they’re a little boring, frankly.

lol what was she --15-16ish when she rated it? Because there’s definitely an ‘against the establishment’ age where I’d have posted negative reviews on shit I actually liked, just to be contrary....or you know, impress a chick or something. What I’m saying is any reviews by damn near any teenager should not be held…

Pretty spot-on, for the most part—though I think every Marvel contract has long-term options automatically written into it, at this point. She’s likeable for sure, so I am genuinely curious to see if she comes off that way in other projects.

100%, though her family is a close second.  And then the cats.  And then the other people in this movie. And then the villain, which apparently is how Marvel intends it to be.

Go on Twitter or whatever the fuck it’s called now and defend this movie. You will not make friends at all.

I’ve read it twice now and even followed some of the links, and I’m still not sure how anyone involved isn’t an utter waste of space. I mean, at least the one girl is making money off less intelligent folks? P.T Barnum has yet to be proven wrong.

What it proved to me is that most any movie could be four hours long if half of it is in slow-motion.  At least somehow the effects were finished for the years later, online version...

I mean, it was a turd that might have been slightly better with less editing, somehow. Those music cues were fucking terrible, so if he had any hand in that then there is zero chance more of his input would have made this better. As bad as it was, it just got...boring in the last half. Also, he must have been involved…

Honestly it does, as he’s not the initial target.  The story is not bad at all, honestly, you know...with the usual caveat of both ‘for a comic book’ and ‘for a video game’.  But yeah, as Mid Boss says, don’t overthink it.

You know what a turtle is?  It’s like that.

Ayer is all “CALM IT DOWN--THE BOTH OF YOU!!!”

I’m sure I’m projecting a bit, as I’m a huge fan of his and have seen him many times live, and I fucking hate it with a passion.  I’m sure he likes the money it brought in being one of his bigger hits, so I can’t blame him for not being harder on it.  It’s a terrible song, though, no matter who sings it. 

You joke, but really it’s accurate--you shouldn’t need to remember anything for a prequel.

Billy Joel hates that song and calls it the worst he’s ever written (arguable, of course)

I think one of the biggest issues with any Netflix show is the model they created does not really work that well for programs designed to go on for a while.  Binging hurts TV, even  though everyone seems to love it.  But you watch a show you love in a week....and then even if season two comes on a year later it feels…
