  1. TBH IDK WTF it is. That's what I thought, but I've seen posts everywhere that say it takes place around 2017.
  2. Almost nothing in Captain Marvel is "tight" (if it wasn't for stunt-doubles her suit would be quite loose on the back-end ) or "efficient". It's simple - I'll give you that. Simplicity, late-game, in a complex cinematic universe? Didn't add to the big picture. Her simple, dull, MacGuffin-powered character sucks. Had they actually made a complex character with development, it may have been well-received. Characters like Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel are no good for great storytelling. Maybe they can kill each other off in the future. Compelling characters need weaknesses. An example of "efficient" visual storytelling: In Iron Man - his Mark II test flight exemplifies a weakness in the armor's initial design(s) that ultimately helps him defeat Iron Monger. A cool piece of showing-off that influences Act 3 by way of experience rather than assumption. For whatever reason, Marvel has choked (so far) at any opportunity to make a compelling physically/specialty-powerful character. Jane Foster ain't gonna break that mold, either, sadly.
  3. The entire premise of this movie is garbage IMO. Had it been a pre-Avengers prequel, I still wouldn't see it in theaters, but it'd make more sense to me. A post-Civil War Secret Avengers BW film makes no sense to me. Whatever "ramifications" clearly wouldn't have lasted, so it's ultimately pointless.
  4. Perfect example. You and Chuck (among others) like to make accusations about people, without evidence, when you're backed into a corner. The same old SJW/PC "you're a racist/sexist" without any substance. You're simply 100% incorrect. It's odd that someone tries to be "PC" while being objectively wrong. Bizarre concept if you ask me. Any character can be any race and any gender. Said character will be accepted if s/he is portrayed well and/or within a good story. Black Panther is and was. Captain Marvel isn't and wasn't. And before you try the sexist angle - the first 2 hours of Wonder Woman are great. And massively in-part due to Gal Gadot. It's okay to be wrong. It's okay for other people to have differing opinions. It's okay to recognize that there's garbage in cinema and in this world. Accept the fact, gracefully. Nothing matters - and that's okay.
  5. Surprising? No. However, based on the fact that in Infinity War; 1. Tony Stark hadn't buried the hatchet with Steve, and; 2. Romanoff was clearly working with him, it just seems like an all-around bad idea. I'm also a fan of closure.
  6. If something is priced well, I don't bother negotiating, as has been mentioned. If someone is selling like that, then I'm not gonna make myself look like a b-hole by trying to steal it from them when they're being very fair themselves. When Batman: Damned was going for $60+ on eBay, and a listing popped up for $40 OBO, I just bought it. Fairness should earn fairness.
  7. Welcome to the boards, Nir. What's wrong with New 52!? Or was it because you just didn't like the reboot? I'm personally a big fan of New 52.
  8. If she saw Captain Marvel, then I can't really debate her opinion... Overall, though, she's delusional.
  9. Pics aren't really good enough for me to estimate...
