Very interesting.

Same thing happened with GoTG3 when the score started out in the 70s but eventually finished in the 80s.

I'll be there at 11:15am tomorrow. Thank you Veterans.

I read a few pages back someone quoted a review that super boilerplates the film into "women fighting over jewelry(bangles)".

The whole of the Infinity Saga was fighting over possession of colored jewels. Does it matter mostly men were fighting over those? The thinly veiled sexism in that Reviewer quote is noticeable.

Not just colored jewels, but a big pimpin' gauntlet to boot!

Super hero squad made fun of that. Doom to thanos. Your infinity gems are like my infinity shards but mines more of a men's weapon!" Thanos got offended and spends the next few min trying to explain to doom the gems look just as much like men's weapons. Lol.

That show made fun of everything marvel. They did a full episode making fun of paste pot pet's name alone!

The Gems should have been embedded into sword hilts, then there'd have been six Infinity Swords (so manly!) and Thanos would've had two gauntlets to house three swords on each hand like a godlike Wolverine!

[Scott Taylor]

The only thing I've seen people collectively agree on is that Iman/Ms. Marvel is great.

My sense from the trailers was that. Plus she was really great in her show, better than the other two were in their stuff. Iman acts with a certain joy that is very charismatic.

A rainbow pimpin gauntlet. Plus Thanos was purple. Faaaabulous!

It's not indifference it's hoping it fails so it will convince the accountants and greenlighters at Marvel and even DC and even other companies that might venture into movies like this or bigger budget movies with diverse casts.

To NOT do it.

As fair as most of that echo chamber is concerned Black Panther, Shang Chi and Cap Marvel's box office was Disney buying up all the tickets.

No form of logic will convince them. Like if that was even true wouldn't Disney have done that with A Wrinkle in Time and Strange World let alone Prince of Persia, Tomorrowland and Treasure Planet?

Even if this movie bombs-getting another shot especially after a Marvel Universe restart should be expected.

Cap Marvel still made a billion with the first movie. Justice League, Green Lantern nor Flash did that. Guess what they will get another shot. Fantastic Four is getting another shot.


This culture war is causing too many issues. Because some folks can't accept progress.

Unironically, that Washington Post review of The Marvels actually proves EXACTLY what Brie Larson was saying about some critics.

[Jared]

Didn't the Post critics also hate Eternals and Quantmania?

What's really being proven is that nobody is afraid to bash Marvel anymore. For a major trade, something like that Variety article would have been unpublishable even a year ago.

Quantumania and some of the Disney+ shows really let the damn burst. Scorsese must feel some vindication today.

Fighting over bangles woudl be fine...if we didn't just have people fighting over ten rings, and people fighting over Infinity Stones. Many of thr Stones were fought over in individual movies before we even got to Infinity War!
These kind o powe MacGuffisn have become a tired plot devide for Marvel, there's no good reason for them to still be doing it right now.

Forbes has been bashing Marvel since Age of Ultron and said it was over when Civil War came out FWIW.

Obviously Civil War was a bad call, but Age of Ultron does seem to have been reappraisal somewhat downwards 8n recent years. I suspect a lot of thst is because of Joss Whedon.

You're misremembering things. AoU was widely criticized when it first came out too. People were let down compared to the first film. Disney even considered it's performance to be "disappointing," despite it making over $1 billion dollars.

But the idea that critics wrr somehow afraid of speaking I'll of the MCU is completely false. It just so happens most of them liked the vast majority of films coming from the studio. No conspiracy theories necessary.

They had a ridiculous run of movies no studio had seen before.

The law of averages strikes again!

[The Kid]

Honestly, I think critics have just soured on these types of movies. I don't actually think Ant Man 3 is any worse than Ant Man 2 but critics that were more likely to give a thumbs up to the more 'meh' movies in the past have switched to giving a thumbs down. In other word, movie critics seem to also have fatigue

[Nathaniel Gray]

It was fun, not great, but I enjoyed it better than Captain Marvel. The mid credit scene made me smile and very happy.
