He probably hasn't. Doesn't appear to be a comic book fan. He also only watches art.

As much as I love The Winter Soldier movie - it isn't art. I would argue that there are some cinematographic pieces of art, and the music/writing is artistic, but that's about it. There aren't any particularly outstanding performances by individual characters. It's a great movie, though. On its own, you don't really know what's happening. Who is Captain America? Who is Bucky? Who is Nick Fury and SHIELD? Etc etc etc. I also think Warhol's soup painting isn't art. Screw that derivative .

I want to both "like" and at this post, so here's a thumbs-up:

Okay.

I said "don't quote me"!

Oh, so the actors performing art is the director's art? Okay.

Also, you don't know that a majority of Ragnarok was improvised...?

You can say that a piece of poo is "art" - but it isn't. The comic books that the MCU derives from is art. They're original concepts that sometimes told meaningful stories. As much as I love the MCU, most of it is not art. It's great escapism entertainment. The acting by some MCU actors is definitely performance art. You could consider some of the cinematography art, as well, for sure. The films themselves are a culmination/inclusion of some artworks. The overall product isn't, though. It's a weird, fine, line.

I think there are some other bloviators that can contribute...

Is anyone else looking at that Crisis on Infinite Earths Box Set coming out this month? It might be worth waiting on, because I know that Earth's Mightiest Box Set released earlier this year was recently on sale for 60% off at IST (instocktrades).

I know, right!? The gift exchange is even better than the grading contests IMO. It's literally the only time of year I buy and receive gifts for/from anyone.

I'm guessing you just accepted the refund because you consider yourself a 'good' seller? I personally would reject any buyer's remorse return requests. Especially with the latest fee stuff by eBay/PayPal. I think there have been at least 2 other threads regarding this same topic.

6.0 IMO.

3.5 IMO.

3.5 IMO.

I have to agree. I don't think 8.5 is accurate.

2.5-5.0 IMO.

I don't think a "clean" removes fingerprints, but don't quote me on that.

He could (if you know what I mean)...

Everything you've typed here is woefully misinformed and hypocritical.

Well, that's not me. A well-written character of any "minority" or whatever label is A-okay to me as long as they're well-written. I prefer not to get excited, or bothered, by those kinda things. I just don't like when they focus on some sort of uncontrollable characteristic to force a moment. I thought TLJ did it way too much. Especially for a movie that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away...

Oh, I know this. My dad is, well, a decade older than you, but I'm in a business run/flooded by 40-55 year-olds (most of them into comic movies and sci-fi like Star Wars and Star Trek). I know he's Solo to you guys. I never heard anyone say they're not going because Ford didn't star in it, though. That's a new reason to me. There's a massive difference between inclusion and exploiting. TLJ wasn't inclusive with good reason - it was exploitation for profit. Is there a logical reason that Purple Hair Lady was granted a sacrifice while Akbar was killed off-screen? Not that I can think of. Why Vice Principle Strong Woman instead of Leia? I didn't bat an eye with Boyega as a new and main character. Why? Because his character, in TFA at least, was well-written. It has nothing to do with anti-inclusion, but rather, anti-exploitation. Big, massive, difference man.
