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.

yeah that’s kinda what i was aiming at with scare-quotes ‘experimental’ but v otm

also would really like to read more discussion on the kirby/lee roots of the character seeing as it's still roughly the same formulation at the heart of the current presentationtwo white ny jews named a black african superhero "Black Panther"a few months before Seale and Newton formed the Black Panther party? can that possibly be right?*lights the sic signal*

yeah this totally...like i just...can't watch fucking comic book movies anymore, i last tried w/wonder woman but just lost interest a quarter way through (and it's probably a fine movie)

That’s why I liked Thor: Ragnarok so much as Taika Waititi seems to have deliberately put stuff into the film just to fuck with the standard presentation(casting Jeff Goldblum to be Jeff Goldblum, deliberately writing a Kirby-CGI rock monster part for himself with his native accent, the “shoulda brought more pamphlets” bits, etc)
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Friday, 9 February 2018 21:42 (six years ago) link
remember back when we didn't really have a "standard presentation" for these things

...no?
― WilliamC, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:54 (six years ago) link
I mean, on a basic level for Marvel junk the answer is "before they made Iron Man" because their productions have a somewhat enforced consistency in tone. DC has slightly different problems.
The big comic movie thing that made it clear to me that there's been a big shift in formula over the years was WB thinking Bryan Singer's attempt to seamlessly reboot Superman from the past franchise, when comic book movies were not really using that template, fell flat.
― mh, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:10 (six years ago) link
at this point we're yet another decade past and a Christopher Reeve style of Superman would probably seem fresh and intriguing

pointless (BUT INTRIGUING!) question: is Michael B Jordan the first actor to cross over from a non-canonical Marvel movie into a Cinematic Marvel Universe film as a different character?
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Friday, 9 February 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
Not entirely if you think about Josh Brolin's upcoming May here.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:35 (six years ago) link
xp: Chris Evans did it too, and also crossed over from playing Human Torch in a non-MCU Fantstic Four movie.
― JRN, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:37 (six years ago) link
oh yeah, i forgot about evans as the human torch... also jordan as human torch!xp I know Brolin is Cable... who was he in the noncanonical films?
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Friday, 9 February 2018 22:39 (six years ago) link
Well what's the definition of noncanonical? MCU = Thanos; Fox/Marvel = Cable.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:40 (six years ago) link
i guess i thought deadpool was canonical. didn't realize it wasn't... except now it is! wheeeeeeee
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Friday, 9 February 2018 22:42 (six years ago) link
it's maybe canonical in the Fox mutantverse
which still has absolutely nothing to do with the Avengers
― mh, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:46 (six years ago) link
so they still have to kinda flip a switch and say deadpool is part of disney? that's presumably the plot of deadpool 3: the canonsolidation
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Friday, 9 February 2018 23:43 (six years ago) link
it’s really doubtful they’ll combine their projects, it’d be a soft or full reboot, or right before both ventures die in a fire, they’ll combine everything for no reasonthey pushed back the new mutants movie until next year (??) so maybe they’re considering cutting all the fox x-men references out, doing minor reshoots, and making that the first marvel movie universe one

No spoilers but... Michael B Jordan is a distractingly good-looking villain.
Also the best MCU villain so far, with apologies to another Michael (Keaton).
