  1. Justice Con Youtube Panel Starting tomorrow, this kicks off via Youtube like the Comic-Con@Home panels.
  2. It really is sad how the entire Sif and the Warriors Three turned out. Mainly the men, and how they were handled in Ragnarok. Lady Sif could pop up in the Loki Disney+ show and hopefully lead to something long-term.
  3. I'm impressed with the level of thought and attempt to be more reasonable went into this post. Congratulations! Captain Marvel as a film definitely connected with a certain portion of the movie-going audience. No question there. And it definitely benefited massively from the Infinity War-Endgame connection, along with years of buildup to all the related events. No question there on all those influences. Was it a politically divisive film? Not at all. If anything, the story played safe to the common MCU themes and approach. Even if it was the first solo female-led film. Yet for years there have been strong female characters throughout these productions. To include: Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) To assume this was the final production to make female MCU characters stand out misses all these fantastic contributions over the years that also stood toe-to-toe with their male actors. These actresses clearly conveyed independence and strength. There is just a portion of the audience that saw this film that even outside of those that took offense to Brie Larson's statements did not appreciate Captain Marvel like those that did. It's okay. The world won't end. And the sequel may address their concerns.
  4. See, where you attempt to accuse someone of Gish Gallop (overwhelming someone with irrelevant arguments). Yet what you apply is called 'Fallacy Of Incomplete Evidence' (cherry picking). When certain portions of data support a debate opinion, you apply just that piece and discredit other data sources. It's also called the fallacy of selective attention. So if someone presents the Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score, IMDb reviewer scores or other sources - you discredit that and use the Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score. Even though who is controlling those results have been talked to excessively in news sources as being influenced by blocking critics from participating in future early screenings. Which Disney has applied before, and got caught at when it took it too far to influence a news site from reporting on its labor practices. The controversy over Disney blacklisting the LA Times, explained But that's just confirmed news and details. Better to cherry pick data when it supports your beliefs - but then accuse someone of misrepresentation when they appear to reference the same sources. I guess this must be that 'analytical credibility' thing some speak of.
  5. Umhhhh...okay. So Infinity War and Endgame had no strong influence on the box office results? Right. Some of the biggest films in history, and a franchise link not commonly seen before.
  6. 'My claims are more factual than your claims - because I said so!'
  7. TODAY: Big box office results and Rotten Tomatoes scores are a clear sign of satisfaction and film quality. Don't you get that? YESTERDAY: Hey, even Transformers made a bunch of money. And who would rely on Rotten Tomatoes for a benchmark nowadays? Such steady counterclaim debate techniques. It must be consistent with that thought process.
  8. But...but...some loved this film so much they went to it over 100 times. No way that has anything to do with wild behavior.
  9. How dare you besmirch this classic treasure that of course was beloved by all - it exceeded one-billion dollars (*). * Disclaimer: Not factoring in films I strongly dislike which then will be held to a different satisfaction standard, to include wild box office success calculations which will include excessive marketing cost estimates, Metacritic predictions of doom and studio additional costs that are far from factual but of course you will have to trust in we know better than they do.
