I hated the aesthetic of the film, somehow both garish and muddy, with way too many dutch angles. Visually, it reminded me of Cat in the Hat, but at least Cat in the Hat was so bad it was kind of fun to watch. Thor was just a bhor. And I had no interest in the story, the characters, or the setting. I'd say I didn't

Got to go with Thor. It's that dreadful combination of being both bad and boring. The worst part is is that 15-minutes in I was ready to just leave and skip into another theater for something else, but I was somehow convinced that I had to sit through the rest of the movie so I could follow the MCU storyline. I can't

K. I like when they take risks with characters, especially a character that has been done so well before.

Cute. Did Gunn?

Here's a quote from Gunn. Please explain what he's talking about.

Read my comment. It's pretty self explanatory. A better question is what Gunn is talking about. Read his full comments if you need background info.

But Deadpool did the exact same thing with its trailer. Please elaborate on the distinction.

Squad looks like the kind of risky auteur driven movies Gunn is looking for. If he's throwing shade it would be a little hypocritical. The main criticism I've heard of Squad is that it looks too 'weird' or 'dark' or that the Joker or Deadshot deviate too much from what audiences expect. Shouldn't we praise the movie

That also describes the trailers for Deadpool. Right?

And that movie was awful.

I bet Gunn could lecture her about the importance of making movies as 'risky' as Ant-Man…

If SS was as cheap as Deadpool and starred c-list actors, sure. It's great to shame studios for being risk averse. The budget on Deadpool is an example of that aversion.

James Gunn is one of the biggest narcissists in Hollywood, and that's really saying something. I love that he uses Ant-Man as an example of a movie that takes risks. I wish Edgar Wright would respond, but I suspect he's too busy making movies to care.

Chance the Rapper wins.

I don't think it's that difficult. There are lots of ways to do it. What if after the events of Winter Soldier, Cap was treated like Edward Snowden and was forced into exile? What if he actually suffered consequences for making the decisions he made? What if the Avengers had to save the world independently,

I don't watch Agents of SHIELD. I tried a few episodes but didn't think it was worth my time. If the TV show explained something I needed in order to appreciate a movie I spent $12 and 3 hours of my life to see, that's another problem to consider.

I didn't notice a big change. They still manage to show up at the end of Age of Ultron for a lazy (and literal) bit of Deus ex Machina as if nothing has happened. For me that rendered the dramatic ending of Winter Soldier meaningless.

Cool. The quality isn't irrelevant to me.

Fine. Let's just ignore the fact that Disney promotes shitty story telling and instead have a semantic argument about whether or not having a near monopoly on geek culture means that Disney could be considered a monopoly in an internet comment.

If that's what you need to tell yourself in order to justify your defense of Disney, have fun with that!
