Contentious C Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Well, "figured out" in the sense of "let's do the same villain several movies running", just like every single-character origin story movie is "protagonist versus funhouse-mirror-protagonist". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.. their overall track record on villains still stinks. But they've certainly gotten better recently. Thanos, Killmonger, Hela, and the Vulture were all great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yes, Killmonger and Thanos were both great. About the Doom stuff. We may not be seeing that. Reportedly, Comcast is set to crash the party on this Disney deal with FOX. They are discussing $60 billion CASH. No offer has yet been made but this shit might get really interesting.

Wait, what? The villains of the last five Marvel movies were Ego, the Vulture, Hela, Killmonger, and Thanos. How were any two of them the same villain?

Contentious C Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Meant to say "same style". The 'person with a terrifying plan who is convinced of its righteousness' trope has been overdone lately, and it could even be extended backwards to, oh, Ronan and nearly everyone since. Hela would be the lone exception there among decent villains; Darren Cross would skip that trope among the not-decent villains. This thread's beginning to remind me why I shuffled off the coil of Internet Talkings many moons ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm pretending Jamie Foxx as Electro never happened. As we all should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Feige said recently that Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel will be introduced to the MCU, sometime after Captain Marvel comes out. That's fucking exciting. I look forward to Fox News losing their minds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I saw it a second time on Friday and I was surprised by how fast it went. It didn’t feel long the first time, but it seemed to go by even faster the second time. I’d happily go see it a third time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 My favourite moment in Avengers: Infinity War. Thor arriving in Wakanda set to the Avengers Assemble main theme, reactions to his arrival, laying waste to Outriders and "Bring me Thanos!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
