Please move on then. There are bigger reasons to break up with someone.

If you want to spoil a girl that makes 250k, by all means go for it.

The first mistake you made was going to dinner for your dates

Go on the least expensive dates possible, like a walk in the park where you talk or something like that. If she has a problem with that then you know youre right in dumping her

The first one was for cheap burritos. Which was 30$ total

2nd date was pricier but I dont mind paying because that in ways could be seen as the first date

Third date was games arcade with drinks and some food

It's kind of funny.

Not when its your wallet and youre spoiling a wealthy 30 year old engineer

Kaldrenthebold posted...

I paid for my girlfriend's food all the time we were initially dating cause I thought that was required? And now we're married.

Seems like a silly rule to have imo, unless you explicitly ask if she could pay. Communication seems to be lacking here, really.

Thats your relationship and Im happy for you. Self identifying as a feminist sort of implies to me you dont need a man and can carry your weight. Also we make similar amounts and are similar age. Why is it 100% me, this is coming from a guy who has had relationships in the past which were 80% me in terms of money. All I valued was "would this person pay" and a "thank you"

Scardude posted...

Before you do that. Maybe you should try to communicate this to her. Speaking as an engineer, she may lack social skills. She gets attention all the time but she may be practical in how she spends her money. If you can't do that much. Let someone else discover her worth.

Shes 30 years old. Ive been out with girls younger by 5 or more years. Im in the boat of let someone else discover her worth. If I have to tell you that you should at least offer to pay and say thank you, thats an upbringing or personality issue. She has multiple times talked about her career accimplishments and how much of a boss she is. I just thought that would translate to "hey I can do some", instead of "you do everything"

Not really. I shouldnt have to ask her to pay, she should at least offer or say thanks

Ive decided to move on from this. Ive had girls with far less resources offer to pay

DarkChozoGhost posted...

What's your plan here? You're apparently still talking. Are you going to break it off, or lead her on but slowly ghost her. You're an asshole if you do the latter.

Im not going to ghost her, I'll tell her Im not interested. If I did ghost her now, I dont see whats wrong. What has she done for me that I owe her anything. I picked the spots, did the coordinating, paid the dates and dropped her home all 3 times.

Sorry I should clarify the biggest reason shes a feminist, she said so herself. I would prefer to date a feminist but I thought that also meant she can carry her own, not pick and choose when shes a feminist

And I hate tate too but it was a topic she brought up without me instigating and wanted to make sure i wasnt a fan which I respect

There's something a bit wrong with Disney if they can't figure out how to make a Hulk movie for less than $500 million while Fox (a studio they now own) could make War for the Planet of the Apes with primarily CGI characters for $150 million.

I think their distribution rights being with Paramount is the biggest factor anyway.

Fucking avatar and endgame didnt cost that much

solosnake posted...

It really just depends how hot she is. Also how likely she is to put out

Shes solid 8/10 imo (pics were 9/10) but its all good.

I can tell shes more into me than ever. More texts, more emojis, convo flows better. We have inside jokes and all that now. It sucks because im down to financially care 70ish percent but 100, for a girl thats well off at that. No.

My previous relationship i paid i want to say 90% but thats because i was better off and she tried to pay even on the first date

Glob posted...

What you have said doesnt in any way indicate that shes super feminist. Hating Andrew state just suggests that her brain functions properly.

Fair point

She hates andrew tate

She owns a property in toronto

Engineer

Doesnt like the idea of zendaya and sydney sweeny getting naked in euphoria or emilia in thrones

Yet all 3 times the bill came she looked away or made no effort. My rule was if by 3 dates a girl doesnt offer to pay (doesnt even have to pay), im done with her or will only entertain a fourth date if its at one of our places

What would you do if theres no effort to pay by date 4

I thought 1 was a 6/10 movie

I will be checking out part 2

ClayGuida posted...

The Marvels is sitting at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes. Are fresh movies now bad?

62 may not be bad but it doesnt guarantee success. I should say bad or mid...i thought marvels was 62% worthy.

Pretty much every mcu movie with a 70% and up made money. 80% has been guaranteed bank.

If the hulk movie is good, itll make money

Torgo posted...

I think he's right, but it's because of the diminishing box office returns for Superhero movies in 2024 compared to the last two decades.

People get tired of things, I think people are tired of superheroes right now.

All of the superhero movies that tanked were bad

Too expensive for the biggest franchise?

I guess ill watch shogun instead

Age of ultron is a fire trailer

The echo trailer was deceptively good, fooled me into thinking the show could be as well

Knew ant man 3, the marvels and thor 4 would be letdowns with the mediocre trailers they had

CountCorvinus posted...

Werewolf by Night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLEFqhS5WmI

Wish they'd do more of this stuff. Werewolf by Night is my favorite thing in the entirety of the MCU.

I thought this trailer was bad but the special was good

Theres been so many great ones but the tops is the Multiverse of Madness trailer. That trailer had so much. Professor X, strange vs giant monsters, good visuals, tease of wanda turn

I think that trailer may actually have been TOOO good, it shot the expectations through the roof for people. For me the movie was awesome

Thr shitty thing about getting Pascal....he isnt doing another role better than oberyn martell

If the kids already exist, theyd have to go with them, however they get from 60s to mcu

Srk700 posted...

My guess is they won't have Doom, but if they do, I hope it's Madds Mikkelson. There was a rumor not that long ago that he could be making a return to the MCU as a different character, and he would make a great Doom imo.

If hes always masked, im down for it. Otherwise i dont want repeat actors

Pikachuchupika posted...

I can see how this movie is going to go. They're all from the 60s living their life. They end up getting powers, but by the end of the movie, they get sent to modern era because of something crazy happening. They also come back in time to grab the frozen Captain America and bring him to the present time as well. (:D)

Dont need that, can always throw old man steve into the quantum tunnel that turned ant man into a baby, teen and old man

refmon posted...

Looks like it takes place in the 60s

Must be an alternate universe 60s. No mention of them in the mcu and dr strange hadnt heard of mr fantastic minus the band

Pretty much

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/850a1757.jpg

Yes and so is shuri

Deadpool is in the void and theres a lot of loki variants plus renslayer there. I doubt they interact

https://deadline.com/2024/02/deadpool-wolverine-trailer-record-1235824277/

A little surprised, didn't think it would outdo no way home/endgame

I will say, for as much as i like deadpool...i dont want him in an avengers movie

Xerun posted...

Ok this may be hard on my memory with your rules

Ms Marvel
Kate Bishop
Yelena
Shang Chi
Kingo
Spiderman
America Chavez
Rocket

with Old Steve Rogers as their mentor.

I tried to stick to people with lower strength powers

Yeah kingo is captured. The eternals i wanted to use were captured or dead

CountCorvinus posted...

It's not a disembodied voice just because he was off camera. That was Blade in the MCU. If you don't want to put him or your team because you haven't seen what he looks like yet (spoilers: he looks like Mahershala Ali), that's fine but you can't stop me.

Keep questioning me and I'll add Morbius.

Morbius is also not in the mcu

Loki season 2 spoilers

renslayer was in the void with alioth, wonder if they cross paths

Aztex posted...

Why would they ruin Deadpool well X-Men in general with adding them to the MCU....

...hugh jackman wolverine has been in almost as many bad movies as good ones

Not a well thought out comment at all

Interestingly the only mcu character all but confirmed for this is alioth in the trailer

Ivynn posted...

HYPE

First MCU movie to be really excited about in a while.

When was the last time a movie was able to successfully keep a legendary spoiler like that secret until opening night? It's impossible in today's digital, leak-filled culture.

Yeah impossible sadly

Anyways this trailer did a good job of mixing the deadpool story, the fox lineage and the mcu intro. Marvel lucked out on deadpool 2 ending on time travel stuff and an easy way to integrate

Looks amazing

Marvel has let me down with everything after guardians 3 (even loki s2 for me). So this needs to hit

ItsNotA2Mer posted...

I give zero fucks which piece of plastic sold more than the other. I do care about people randomly making shit up and passing it off as facts.
Just keeping you honest.

In the scale of sales these consoles make, 3 mil is essentially a tie. Again back to 5 foot guy talking shit about a 4'11 guy

ItsNotA2Mer posted...

Facts don't matter at all, amirite?

Its not that serious, i didnt search it up. Its super close. If that 3 million helps you sleep better, go for it

No

Lebron could defend and was athletic

Luka is a better shooter

ItsNotA2Mer posted...

According to who? I think it was more like 3 million.

1 million, 3 million. Tiny amount for a generation

Its like the 5'0 guy making fun of the 4'11 guy for being short

boomgetchopped3 posted...

Doesnt this happen every generation? MS has been the loser for a quarter century now.

360 and ps3 ended up within one million of each other

There was a period between 2005 and 2010 where it looked like xbox couls compete with playstation and actually tried in the gaming space.

Don mattrick destroyed them

Guys

Captain marvel looked fucking gorgeous on the singing planet in her suit

loafy013 posted...

Did you watch the after credits scene (or maybe it was the mid credits one)? Her character is looking to be a major factor in the MCU.

Where she ends up location wise doesnt mean shes a good character

TMOG posted...

It's looking like the Young Avengers are going to be the next iteration of the team, so if I had to guess at the lineup, it would probably look something like this at the moment

* Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel
* Kate Bishop / Hawkeye
* Riri Williams / Ironheart
* Skaar
* Eli Bradley / Patriot
* Cassie Lang / Stature
* Peter Parker / Spider-Man (although they don't know he's Peter of course)
* America Chavez

Of course, this list is subject to change based on future MCU projects between now and then, as well as anybody I simply forgot about. I was going to include Shuri / Black Panther but she's actually almost 30 in-universe so she probably just qualifies for the Not-So-Young Avengers instead lol

Had Kid Loki listed there as well but then I realized they could easily just bring Spider-Man in without knowing his true identity, and re-learn about Peter Parker after he's on the team. He seems a lot more likely than Kid Loki tbh

The young avengers will not be the next avengers, thats mcu suicide. Theyll be their own thing...but you can have them as your avengers team. Though at this point Eli is just some teen

CountCorvinus posted...

Blade is 100% in the MCU. Like you said, we heard his voice. That's him. He's on my team.

Leaders: Madisynn (as the new Ghost Rider) and Blade
Members:
Elsa Bloodstone
Man-Thing
Moon Knight
Nico
Werewolf by Night
Wong

We had to have a director tell us he was there. Voices dont count, we dont even know what he looks like and who knows if his movie even happens

Its fine, it just got the beating at the box office that quantumania deserved....though quantumania lucked out by not having to launch after quantumania

A few rules

-they have to be in the MCU universe right now (no deadpool, tobey/andrew spiderman, venom, wolverine, even monica rambeau)
-they can't be occupied in another conflict (Dr strange was last seen in the dark dimension, half of the eternals are captured by a celestial). So they have to be on earth or freely be capable of getting to earth
-they can't be dead so no iron man, t'challa, black widow, wanda (she is "dead" right now)...technically you can pick steve rogers but just be aware he is an old man
-netflix people can count I suppose since they say it is canon now
-they have to been established as a an actual character. Blade hasnt been, he was just a voice. The black knight hasnt touched the sword yet. The fantastic 4 havent been introduced

Sam Wilson captain america as their leader
Namor as their anti hero
Thor for familiarity
Spiderman
Yelena (having a widow has worked well for the team)
White vision
She hulk
War machine
