    I don't understand how the "Kang" dude (Jonathan Majors) is getting cancelled left and right and dropped from projects for "allegedly" smacking his G/F (which she has recanted from what I can tell), yet this guy who is on film numerous times assaulting women, and holding a family hostage is getting a free pass from Hollywood and the media.  Is it because he wears a dress?

    Check your pronouns he goes by crazy right now. Seriously no way DC keeps him after this movie, bring me Wally please....

    Okay, well regardless of the chronology of my post before or after. your post or whether or not I read your post, I'm telling you I made MY post with only the Majors girlfriend altercation in mind. Even then, the multiple women coming out is still hearsay at this point, reliable hearsay, but still hearsay. Disney can still sit this out until the last minute. The process is still playing itself out and doesn't yet equate to Anthony Rapp accusing Kevin Spacey of sexual assault when Rapp was a minor.

    Talk about the worst time to come out....

    Oddly enough, I've been watching Youtube interviews with the big wrestlers of the past. And it is very entertaining when they share the reverence for Andre the Giant's demanded respect in the ring, all the behind-the-scenes drama (rumors of Macho Man sleeping with someone legal-age daughter), and how Ultimate Warrior was treated as an outsider for a long time.

    I first heard of that a couple of years ago.  I believe there's something that happened for Vince not to sign Macho Man again.

    Riri is Ironheart.  Kids are smarter now.  The notion that a middle-aged drunk playboy can be a master of computer science is probably the unlikely scenario now.  Tony was supposed to be 21 when he took over Stark.  So not that different a story.

    Yeah that's definitely not true.  Go into any general level high school class in the U.S. and you'd be shocked.

    I don't think it's geared towards kids but it has a teen movie vibe and as a nearly 50 year old it just doesn't appeal to me.  All movies don't need me as an audience but it definitely helps to pull in the 40 - 50 year old male audience when you are talking about a comic book movie.

    I have no clue who their market is supposed to be.  The best I can guess is teenagers.  I don't know any teenager who's excited about this or any of the uhhhh.....heroes in this. If their smart they'll knock this all the way back a month before the next Avengers movie and hype up you need to watch this as it will go along with the Avenger movie. Oh dang never mind they did that for the first Captain Marvel already.

    Yeah I dunno why Disney / Marvel is so stupid. They are aiming this trash to kids but kids don't know any of those characters( and why would they we don't know any of those characters). If a film is cool with the teenagers then also kids want to see it. Otherwise make a film with known character like Super Mario.

    Better idea for Disney. Save money and don't make these films and use that money to buy Sony so you will get Spider-Man back.

    Please no, Disney has too many characters than what they know what to do with (see the current state of the MCU).  I'd rather Sony keeps making horrible Spiderman movies than watch the MCU turn Spiderman into whatever Thor has become.

    As expected if Gunn is still leading it. He is going to be stretched thin in his new role. He really needs to develop a protege or two to keep some of these other/less important projects going.

    You called it. It's going to be close to over 2 years before we get a sequel to Peacemaker season 1.  That's is dumb.

  8. Took my nephews to see this yesterday and found it to be hilarious. I enjoyed the movie the entire time though there were a couple of little things I didn't like but they weren't that bad.  This was the first movie in a while were the crowd clapped at the end (though half of the crowd was under 13).  If you have a child or just want to watch something funny with a good story go and watch this.

    Come on. Don't you want to know which of them experienced The Decimation which then when they came back they ended up in the Quantum Realm and that is where they received their powers from some random Stark Industries reactor that was accidentally transported there by Ghost somehow? As long as the entire backstory comes from Luis, I'm down with that.

     

     

    Man they messed up in the last Ant Man not having these guys at all.  This was comedy done right.

    Good point about the origins.  Hopefully that part will be relatively short because we have seen it before.  Also - Susan Sarandon?  Not sure whether she helps much with any "new direction."

    I'm interested where they're going to go with her being Ted Kord's sister.  I've seen some theories that people think they're going to have him be dead in the movie but we'll find out he's time traveling with Booster Gold.

  11. The trailer doesn't look bad to me but it doesn't really stand out.  I think with all of the superhero origin stories we've gotten this kind of thing so much now that's really hard to stand out.  I do think it will have decent comedy but I'm just hoping we aren't going the Thor or Shazam style of nothing but comedy from him.  I know in the later Jamie Reyes adaptations the Beetle is always ready to try to fight or annihilate something (makes for some funny dialogue between the two) but it doesn't seem to be the case in this trailer.  I'm guessing they didn't want to be called a Venom rip off or something, but I hope we get a couple of interactions like that in the movie.
