it was a pretty good warning sign when Edgar Wright backed out of Ant-Man, when they essentially used the outline he’d been working on for years at that point.  Even Branagh complained that he’d never do another when they meddled with Thor, and that was just the third movie in all of this.  I think Marvel realized the…

Eh, chances are pretty good all this was in motion way before he signed back on. Particularly with all the connective...ness?  I think he had a hand in setting all this up way back when, though, so he’s still to blame somewhat.

They were easily the best part of the movie--honestly I’d have HATED this if they weren’t in it, and I didn’t like it overall (just far too many flaws to overcome the good stuff).

I’m as big a Marvel defender as anyone out there, and I’m in the camp that it was more bad than good (and judging from other comments I like the first CM way more than most people).

I too was a big X-Men fan haha.  

Sorry but this simply isn’t true. “He was the big star with the proven track record of making enjoyable films that got non-comic book people interested in the movie.” is just not accurate at all.

Which, having seen it, is pretty accurate.  I thought it was fairly meh overall--too many exposition dumps, a more forgettable villain than most (which is saying a lot for Marvel) and choppy editing that, while making it short, also did not give many scenes much breathing room.  Thank goodness Ms Marvel and her family…

Has Max been the protagonist of any of the MM films (aside from the first, I suppose)? They sort of happen around him, really. They always struck me as westerns with an end of the world setting to them.

I mean, blowing dudes is one way to work out anger issues I suppose.  No judgement here (and certainly better than other alternatives)--you do you, bro!

Right?  There’s so many great parts to that film that the kids story just sort of gets in the way of it all.

I mean, if you knew it was him solely from the cape and didn’t know he was in the film that is pretty impressive.

it sort of sounds like you’re both saying the same thing?  

I think it’s just early in the effects, personally.  There’s a lot of time before this releases, and that is usually all spent in effects and editing.

hell yes it does—honestly I’ve had enough world-building for a while. This one’s built, so and I’m all for watching Miller have a fucking field day with it.

Nah you’re right and I usually don’t do this (and have much the same response for people in other comments that do this)—the click bait got me when I was in just the right mood lol. I sincerely apologize. Please carry on with your enjoyment of things—not that you wouldn’t have anyway, but what I’m saying is, who the…

yeah sorry Godzilla was the lead.

That picture looks like something that should have been killed with fire as soon as it was born.  That’s my guess.  Don’t think I’ve seen it, or if I have it was so long ago I’ve successfully blocked it out.

Depends on who ‘the fan base’ is—-Godzilla nerds (and whoo boy these comments should serve as proof that is definitely a thing—they’re just lucky “Godzilla Nerds” sounds cooler than it really is) are gatekeepers for all this shit and tend to be like people that love early Smiths but hate all the later albums, if you…

I mean, that’s basically porn, yes?

Haha yeah you are right because most of them are not good.  Sorry but the silliness of men wearing rubber suits is just too much to ignore for most grown ups.  Right?  Unless they’re all supposed to be silly, and then I’ll admit I missed the joke, or I laughed at them on MST3K.
