Yeah, this is probably going to be Chris Hemsworth’s Logan. There’s not a whole lot you can really do with Thor’s character at this point, so if you’re going to make another movie, replacing him makes the most sense. So, just to recap: Iron Man passed the baton to Spider-Man, Captain America passed the baton to Falcon (it’s okay to say that without a spoiler tag at this point, right?), and Thor will most likely be passing the baton off to Jane.

It still baffles me how they made such a blatant mistake like that. The best guess I can come up with is that they looked at Vision’s “eight years ago” line in CW (which itself is technically a continuity error, given that the first IM film couldn’t have taken place in 2008), and assumed he was somehow referring to the events of The Avengers.

One more thing I’ll say; can we please stop with the whole “bad guy has a vendetta against Tony Stark” thing? I get that he’s the flagship hero of the MCU, but all three Iron Man films and both Spider-Man films have had these kinds of villains. It’s especially annoying in the case of Spider-Man, because it makes him feel like an Iron Man supporting character, rather than his own hero. I get that part of the point of FFH is Peter learning to stop living in Tony’s shadow, but for the next one, can we maybe have a villain who has nothing to do with Iron Man?

It was...kind of unfortunate that Nick Fury decided to take a vacation while having Talos take his place. After all, if the Fury we saw in this movie had been the real one, chances are that Beck never would’ve been able to fool him, given that all Fury would’ve needed to do was run a background check that would’ve instantly proven him to be a liar. The entire movie literally would not have happened if Fury hadn’t decided to take a vacation when he did. On that note, was Hill also on vacation? Anyway, the movie was about what I expected. It was a solid and reasonably enjoyable little romp, but I can’t say it’s my favorite Spider-Man film.

From what I could tell by the clip, it seemed like he edited the footage to make it look like Peter flat out murdered an innocent man. I of course haven’t seen the rest of the movie yet, so I guess I could easily be wrong, but based on that clip, Jameson really comes off looking like a complete asshole.

Well, I accidentally saw the spoiler that J.K. Simmons was playing Jameson in this movie, so at that point, I went “ah what the hell” and decided to read up on the end credit scene for him, and I even saw a leaked clip of it. So, uh, is anyone else not a fan of the direction they seem to be taking with Jameson in this universe? I know that people are ecstatic about seeing J.K. Simmons back in his most iconic role, but from his one scene in the movie, he comes across as being just too much of a jerk. Sure, Jameson has always been portrayed as a jerk, including in the Raimi trilogy, but framing a minor for murder and exposing his identity to the world is downright scummy. I could never imagine the Jameson of the Rami trilogy doing something like this. At the very least, if they wanted to portray Jameson as an absolute scumbag, I kind of think I would’ve preferred if they got someone else to play him. As a side note, I kind of wish the MCU didn’t have such a casual disregard for the secret identity trope. Yeah, the trope is unrealistic, but so is the very concept of a superhero.

Has anyone else noticed that there's now a Washington Post article for the #SnyderCut movement? https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2019/06/26/more-than-year-later-justice-league-fans-are-ramping-up-demands-releasethesnydercut/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0896ad779e10 Does that officially make the movement mainstream?

I would say that Titanic had the most impressive run of any movie at least in the past 30 years. It was number one at the box office for 15 weeks, made $600 million domestically in a time when ticket prices were much lower, and movies didn’t benefit from 3D or IMAX ticket sales, and made $1.2 billion overseas in a time when China was nowhere near the powerhouse market for movies that it is today.

I believe so. Still, if you go by BOM’s numbers, the original run for the movie would be $2.754 billion.
