Oh cool, sexism.

Captain Marvel has been a woman for years and before that she was Miss Marvel and she's always been more popular than the orginal Captain Marvel was.

The only reason I’m watching is because of her. She suits the role perfectly

arista

[It appears the backlash has been fuelled by Larson’s recent comments about the movie’s press tour,
in which she expressed growing concerns about the “overwhelmingly white male” proportion
of film journalists she has spoken to over the last few years. In an interview with Marie Claire earlier this year, t
he actor, who won an Oscar in 2016 for her performance in Room, spoke about utilising her role as the
eponymous superhero to campaign for increased diversity in the movie industry.]

This is for children so if they tightly bind her chests then I suppose no one would notice, as long as they padded out her arm and leg muscles?

Or hire a bloke but that may cost more

I don't see how this is controversial at all, currently the only higher-tier (in terms of power) Marvel female is Scarlet Witch... Where for males there's Thor, Doctor Strange, Iron Man (these days, as you can basically count the nanotech suit as equivalent to natural abilities), Hulk, Vision (technically). They need another female to balance out the team. I mean let's face it... Black Widow is low-key sh**. Sorry ScarJo.

Brie Lawson has been talking some rubbish to be fair, but that has little to do with the movie itself; Kevin Feige isn't Kathleen Kennedy, he won't let it be crap. Why are audience scores even available before the movie is released?

Apparently Rotten Tomatoes have actually changed that in response to this, and are no longer going to allow viewer reviews before the release date. It basically dropped from over 90% to under 60% because of her interview... Which obviously has absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

Reminds me of when a group of misguided LGBT activists trashed the IMDB score for "The 100" because they killed off a character that was in a gay relationship :think:. That went on for over a year and you could literally pinpoint it to that character's death.

Oliver_W
27-02-2019, 09:26 PM
Ohh I remember when that character died, people were bleating on about "LGBT erasure" or something, and it's like ... no. Characters are allowed to be killed, dawg!

Wasn't the thing that RT changed the "want to see" score, rather than reviews? People can be put off seeing a movie based on things the star says - it's a stupid reason to not want to see a film, but valid if it actually put them off it.

Yeah that's the first thing I was reminded of, the episode was one of the most critically acclaimed of the entire show too so it annoys me that the IMDB rating inaccurately represents that :laugh: Just glad they gave up the following season.

Similar thing happens with any Thandie Newton video on YouTube, the dislike ratio is bizarrely high. The Internet's full of nutjobs who need a bit more fresh air.

:conf2:No it's a totally different character.

To be fair, a character with the least imaginative name in comic book history.

"She's in the air force so she can be captain something! Like captain America!"

"Captain what though?"

"Err... Umm... *glance around the office*... Marvel. Captain Marvel. Whatever."

Burton's two Batman films he directed had starred Michael Keaton as Batman, Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and Danny DeVito as the Penguin


Batman was released in 89 and Batman returns 1992

I love both the Burton and Nolan versions equally

DCEU Seems to only do well in their solo films- Man Of Steel, Wonder Woman and Aquaman have all been well received by critics and fans, whereas Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Justice League have all flopped

If Shazam! is also a success, then the DCEU should just stick to solo films

Before Justice League there needed to be the solo Aquaman, at least one solo Batman, at least one solo Flash, and probably a second Wonder Woman. THEN Justice League probably late 2021.

The characters weren't well enough established as individuals for it to work as an ensemble.

Yeah that was their main problem- By the time Man Of Steel was released and began the DCEU franchise back in 2013, MCU had began phase 2 and their 7th film, Iron Man 3, was out. DCEU were trying to play catchup

They should have just done solo films for each of the JL Characters, and then brought them together rather than rushing

I dunno, I truly hated Man of Steel as well, it stung more because it was the first one. I legitimately had to stop it for breaks several times, I'm glad I didn't see that mother****er in cinemas.

I said Wonder Woman was okay upthread - I take that back, it's good. Even outside of the DCEU, it is good.

Yeah I still very much enjoy the extended BvS. The cinema cut was a headache though and I think that's all a lot of people remember... the editing was awful, it NEEDED the extra runtime that it had on home release to be a coherent film, but I get why they couldn't have a 3.5 hour marathon in cinemas. Although I have heard that End Game might be hitting the 3h mark which I personally am buzzing about :joker:.

The only overall problems for me were the downright irredeemable "Martha" scene. It is DUMB, they should have gone another way with it, left the name out of it and just had Supes saying "plz if you kill me you have to save my mother" and it would be otherwise the same scene (Batman realises that Superman isn't just this super powerful alien threat, but also a regular man with a family). Making it about their mums having the same name falls so flat :joker:.

Also ... sigh... Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. It was still a bad call, in characterisation and casting. He would have made a ****ing excellent Riddler playing it exactly the same. Luthor, they should have made a charismatic smiling-sociopath like Smallville Lex.

The film otherwise flows well (extended) and is stunning :shrug:.
