Or maybe it’s true Disney secretly put down millions of dollars to cast a superhero movie entirely with black people (and Andy Serkis) so that they could secretly reveal that the Black Panther is... Jimmy Garoppolo

Anyway, one last trailer or ad or whatever

the reviews are like OMG

Why is this coming out in February? Just curious as I thought January and February were used as studio dumping grounds for shit they expected to bomb. Has that trend changed?
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:47 (six years ago) link
that trend has changed a bit, but it is also Black History Month
― rob, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:48 (six years ago) link
Ah, good point.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:49 (six years ago) link
also since marvel moved to three movies a year i think the surefire blockbusters get the summer/autumn slots and the 'experimental' one gets the early-doors slot
― i gotta be a gazpacho man (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:50 (six years ago) link
also Ms Marvel is scheduled for March (2019), so...
― rob, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:50 (six years ago) link
just to spell out what Marvel et al. think makes something "experimental"
― rob, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 22:51 (six years ago) link
kind of surprised by that metric that Ant Man came out in the summer
must have been an off year

If the Captain Marvel movie comes with a soundtrack by Sonic Youth feat. Whale, I fear I will be officially unsurprised but also, without fear, unofficially very stoked
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 02:16 (six years ago) link
Seriously though it’s going to be weird and good not bad
sonic youth, what fucking year is thisimo that whole gif is retroactively defunct from both the past and future, some nice albums and gigs in the decreasing space

Have you studied the known facts of the Captain Marvel movie― El Tomboto, Tuesday, February 6, 2018 9:05 PM (yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Sorry, I was being a little opaque. My point was that BP is coming out during Black History Month, and CM is coming out during Women's History Month. That timing rubs me the wrong way given how irritating it is that it took like 17 movies to get to one whose lead isn't a white man. I think it calls attention to the single-digit-ness of these films within the franchise while kinda also patting themselves on the back for being brave (hence their status as "experimental" in bg's rubric), but I guess it's not objectively offensive and hell I don't work there, it could be a coincidence.
Personally, my only problem with these two movies is that Marvel waited so long to make them that my enthusiasm has waned after a couple total duds and a growing fatigue with the genre.
― rob, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
yeah that’s kinda what i was aiming at with scare-quotes ‘experimental’ but v otm
