winter soldier is my favorite MCU film by a fair stretch, so if this is like that, omfg

considering all of the fan hype suggesting Snyder had reinvigorated the superhero genre with BvS after previews, I'm gonna wait until there's some critic appraisal.
still tho i think this will be dope

After a dozen films and a few tv shows, I think the MCU brain trust has a good handle on what parts of the print history are ripe for mining and which aren't (and fighting in the ranks is part of Marvel DNA going back to FF#1), whereas the DCCU brain trust (if there actually is one) is split between "run away from 75 years of rich Hero's Journey iconography" and "roll d20 to determine Batman's next move."

yeah the consistency re: Marvel's brand is pretty good. even managed to beat the Curse of the Threequel w/ Iron Man.

yeah but we have to suffer through IM2 to get thatlike how do you screw up Demon in a Bottle srsly

I'm seeing a lot of praise for Tom Holland/Spider-Man & Chadwick Boseman/Black Panther as some of the better parts of the movie. I'm excited!

xpost yeah weirdly the Threequel curse hit Iron Man in the second installment.
it's kinda funny how much of a big deal Mickey Rourke was not that long ago, with his career resurgence in the early 00s. they even threw him in that garbage Expendables flick. which isn't to say that he wasn't good in any of those flicks but I think IM2 creators banked too much on him elevating that mess.

this is the direction the Avengers team needed to go after a second straight group pic involving a city attacked by unusual forces.
loved Winter Soldier so I'm jonesing for this one

The opening scene in Washington is pretty perfect. Natasha rolling up in her car and asking Sam and Steve 'Do you know the way to the Smithsonian? I'm looking for a fossil' probably shouldn't work, but it seems so playful.

Also the fight scenes in Winter Soldier were the best.

Iron Man 3 rules. Shane Black was the perfect choice. Apparently he's doing the next Predator movie, which I am stoked beyond belief for.

feel like ppl should lower their expectations...while i was a big fan of Winter Soldier, feel like this is gonna have the messiness Avengers 2 had as they're going in to setup the Black Panther and Spidey reboot movies with this (not to mention Avengers 3.1 and 3.2 and Antman 2 and Guardians 2 and Doctor Strange and...), and it looks like there's even MORE characters in this one(..and i enjoyed Avengers 2)

the scene is actually from a dream sequence of Captain America, where right after Stark toussles his hair and then starts running his arm down the back of his neck, then he wakes up, disappointed

Small consolation prize, perhaps, but the new Ant-Man DLC for the Lego Avengers videogame has Luis as a playable character with new Peña dialogue.

The shaming of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” will continue apace — or better still, be forgotten entirely — in the wake of “Captain America: Civil War,” a decisively superior hero-vs.-hero extravaganza that also ranks as the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Very much an “Avengers” movie in scope and ambition if not title (the conspicuous absence of Thor and Hulk notwithstanding), this chronicle of an epic clash between two equally noble factions, led by Captain America and Iron Man, proves as remarkable for its dramatic coherence and thematic unity as for its dizzyingly inventive action sequences; viewers who have grown weary of seeing cities blow up ad nauseam will scarcely believe their luck at the relative restraint and ingenuity on display.

I haven't been this excited for a movie in forever, and I'm probably not going to be able to see it in theatres. There's no way I can avoid spoilers until it's on bloody Pay per view. So mad.

Movie opens May 6 and I'm having a baby sometime between now and then. Can't take a newborn, can't leave it home. Ugh.
― franny glasshole (franny glass), Thursday, 14 April 2016 00:13 (eight years ago) link
We totally took our babies to movies. They only wake up to eat, and feeding them makes them quiet and sleepy. Babies are the easiest to take out. Planes, restaurants ... they're self-contained and free everywhere. So don't feel bad, travel, go out, take that baby to the movies! And hey, congratulations.

Plus, if you're home, you can just go to a matinee where let's call it the rules of engagement are slightly different.

I dunno, I took my first two babies everywhere but for some reason a movie seems like a bad idea. But perhaps I will look into a matinee because (back on topic) this movie is going to be amazing.
