They care about the number of people they expect movies like this to bring in, not what those people came for.
Firstly the french vampire thing was a joke about Tommy Wiseau (I don't know his original nationality.) Secondly anyone who actually seen A Wrinkle of Time would know that is flat out bad. To imply it was only given bad reviews because the wrong audience watched it, feels a bit disingenuous to the fact that people from every group and background more or less thought it was trash or at least mediocre.
I used to like this guys MTG content, i think it was decent. Then someone got him banned from MTG events, then he went to this fucking ranting political bullshit. I unsubbed really fast when that happened.
Sure, but her saying that she's more interested in the reviews of the intended audience makes sense to me
Afaik it was never: GET OUT WHITE MALE REVIEWERS REE.
They specifically wanted to increase the number of reviewers to include more women and minorities. While not excluding any of the existing white male reviewers who were already invited.
I don't even like marvel movies that much and i still liked captain marvel, whats going on?
What? No he wasn't. Kilmonger wanted to start a literal race war against the entire world. The conclusion of Black Panther was that powerful, privileged people/nations should do what they can to assist those who are less powerful and/or privileged than them without considering themselves to be inherently better. Kilmonger saw all black people as being the same, "our people" but Wakanda is not America and Wakandans are not substitutes for black Americans. Kilmonger was just as racist as the people he claimed to stand against, to the point where he generalised his own race as all being the same.
I still remember when my younger brother was talking about one guy in his history club who was apparently trying to convince people that Kilmonger was justified in committing genocide (my brother phrased it as something else at the time, something along the lines of "taking down white societies") and that the movie shouldn't have protrayed him as the bad guy.
I wasn't really sure how to react to it back then since I didn't know anything about the movie or the main villian, but after reading about the movie and its plot online, I'm feeling pretty fucking pissed that there's people out there who actually hold that sort of mindset, potentially including my younger brother who I know has some white guilt views.
I haven't watched the movie and have no idea if it is good or not, I hate "Captain Marvel" because it was the most obvious case of Disney as a corporation influencing the comics. Carol represents Disney treating the comics as nothing more than advertising for the upcoming movie. Since 2012 Carol has just been Disney's little reminder to the readers that future movies are more important than telling good stories. Same thing with the Inhuman's Push, same thing with the Xmen murder attempt. I honestly hope the movie is great because maybe it will justify Disney's meddling to the readers.
muh culture war
Even if you didn't like it, it was just an average Marvel movie. The people who are really getting butthurt are toxic fucks that just claim anything that remotely involves women and their struggles as SJW or part of some feminist agenda.
Seriously, the hate this movie getting is absurd.
movie was not that bad tbh, it started pretty strong and dropped a little as it went on but overall wasn't a terrible movie
i've yet to see anyone trashing on it put out and legit point that isn't "it's a woman!!!!!! sjw cucks!!!'
Uhh, as someone who isn't the target audience of a Disney super hero movie, I found it to be alright I suppose? I'd say my over all feeling about it would be disinterested but mildly amused. It wasn't a cinematic master piece but it wasn't like, absolute dumpster fermented swampy arse juice either.
But like... that happens now, never mind in the 80's
Carol Danvers is a TERM in the comics right now and this is her sixth reboot in less than a decade, so I sincerely doubt the connection is as fresh and clean as you're supposing it might be.
I've heard that her modern incarnation is a TERF a couple of times, but can't fathom current day Marvel doing that on purpose to someone they're pushing so hard; Leading me to believe there must be at least one very amusing tale of writing incompetence waiting to be told here. Got any of that to share with the class, or a place you could point me to to find it?
I actually thought the movie was enjoyable. Your standard Marvel movie. I knew what I was going to get and I got it.
The supposition that Disney Cin is directly in bed with Marvel pub is completely tenuous, and in fact it's the opposite. The reason is simply Disney has no idea how long this train can be ridden, and they want material that might fit in later, not now.
As for Danvers as a moonlighting semifemifascist, most of that occurred under Christos Gage's writing. You'l prolly have to look for scans because the writing was so bad marvel actually rewrote issues for collecting in Trades and Online libraries.
I’ve enjoyed this movie way more than Black Panther, which imho has style, especially the Wakanda scenes, but the plot wasn’t really that interesting. I liked this one because the Nick Fury - Captain Marvel duo worked really well.
Everything surrounding this character has been and continues to be just so fucking obnoxious and i want her to go away so i wont have to even accidentally hear about her anymore because its always just a bunch of bullshit that follows along.
idk, I thought the character we saw in the movie was great
I don't follow comic books at all but it seems like the movie has turned her into the strongest character in-universe? It's hard to give examples without spoiling stuff but she seems almost super man levels of power with no clear weaknesses.
The reason she has gotten so many reboots is because comic fans don't like her but Marvel can't call it quits, they need Captain Marvel to be big because Disney needs her to be big, If it were any other character they would have just called it quits, at least for a while.
They don't need to be connected at all, and the fact the comics version is a literal space nazi is not something the kinematic unit would ever entreat, much less acknowledge.
The only comic property that's received a 1:1 treatment that made any money ever were both made by Robert Rodriguez for niche audiences, and I sincerely doubt were gonna see "commie killer" captain america or red and blue superman or 'sometimes black people scare me' Hal Jordan anytime soon, or ever on the big screen.
Yeah and I'm not saying it was entirely out of place, I just personally found it a bit cringy. I just found that part of the film really in your face with it, which is fine but it felt out of place to me. I'm unsure if it was a combination of the acting, lack of sexist undertones at other times so it'd be a pacing issue, idk. I just personally found that one bit cringy.
