  1. I think the movie could have used another 10-20 minutes to flesh some things out (Carol vs the Supreme intelligence, Monica finding out that Carol did actually visit her mother and the fate of the singing planet) but I honestly had more fun with this than with most post-Endgame MCU movies (maybe with the exception of Shang-Chi and No Way Home) so it's an A from me.
  2. Or maybe because comic book superheroes are more ingrained in American culture?
  3. Aren't American critics more favorable towards superhero movies in general?
  4. My go-to example of a movie that is so fast-paced that it becomes nonsense is The Rise of Skywalker. I remember walking out of the theater and thinking "this is not a movie". The Marvels is not that.
  5. I think it could have used a few more scenes here and there to flesh things out but I didn't think it was disjointed either. It's definitely not a cut up mess like some have suggested (I saw one critic comparing this to Josstice League which is just absurd).
  6. So if we discount the Ms. Marvel post-credits scene (filmed for The Marvels) and the aforementioned Quantumania post-credits scene (scene from Loki S2) then the only post-Endgame post-credits scenes that have been paid off are from the end Black Widow (sets up Yelena vs Clint in Hawkeye) and both of the WandaVision scenes (Monica gets recruited by Nick Fury and Wanda messing with the Darkhold).
  7. And as I said, Monica still calls her "Auntie Carol". Then again, that's what makes it hot...
  8. Thunderbolts is no longer coming out in 2024. Deadpool 3 might not make it either.
  9. Right on. You can be sad/angry/confused that the critics' opinion doesn't align with yours but that doesn't mean there's a conspiracy.
  10. I have to admit that I don't know the name of the director of Black Widow. Did she even do any interviews for the film?
  11. I don't think there's either a pro- or anti-Marvel bias among critics.
  12. I'm actually one of those people who ended up really liking the movie so I'm hesitant to claim that the people who praised the movie were full of shit.
  13. If you've been following social media reactions for even a short time then it was pretty obvious that they were not glowing. Understanding how they translate to reviews requires reading between the lines a bit.
  14. In light of the strikes and the delays I wouldn't be surprised if they push back The Kang Dynasty (and Secret Wars) another year.
  15. And now they're probably also worried about promoting any characters originating in a Disney+ show. If we're just considering movie characters then we have Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Shuri, Yelena and FalconCap (and movies starring the last two might bomb before the next Avengers)..
  16. Monica: "Auntie Carol, what are you doing in my bedroom?" (yes, Monica still calls her "Auntie Carol").
  17. Just got back from seeing it and I honestly loved it. It really doesn't deserve to get lumped in with Quantumania or Love & Thunder. I'm legitimately sad that critics are trashing it and that it's going to bomb miserably.
  18. https://thedirect.com/article/the-marvels-captain-marvel-2-reshoots-d23
  19. I think BadOlCatSylvester is implying that a lot of projects are about to get cancelled in light of The Marvels bombing.
