saspa 04/23/22 10:20:25 AM #1:	I was bracing myself for the inhumans of the mcu movies, but it certainly wasn't that (nothing is, not even DC's garbage) But lol they put in an awkward sex scene with the ikaris and gemma chan? In a pg disney marvel movie? They haven't done sex scenes since 2008's Iron man when Marvel hadn't even been bought by Disney yet. Disney has been so afraid of showing any deeper act of physical intimacy that this is shocking, no wonder it has a rotten score on RT xp. How odd that they gave Chloe Zhao free reign while reeling in/firing others like edgar wright or james gunn for a time. I love how their suits make them power rangers I don't know why people dislike the movie or why it has such a low rating, it's not offensively bad or anything. It's definitely not the shudder Inhumans of the mcu movies. It does have the same problem of trying to introduce comic characters that "have been there all along" (difficult to translate characters at that) but still done at least better. Captain Marvel was able to get away with it by both setting it in the past but also putting her on a bus for a while and the fact that it's just 1 person compared to an entire power rangers team. It's still a messy movie but eh. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg <cite>saspa posted [p:964506240] in Finally sa...

saspa 04/23/22 10:32:14 AM #6:	Phatso's suggestion to mind meld and become a unimind was funny. Besides contributing to the power rangers vibe, it reminded me of something from DC I once saw in Young Justice, the new gods all merged into each other power rangers style and transformed into 1 super new god with all their powers combined And they even have their own evil superman who flies and shoots lasers just like whatever those DC movies are doing. Hell they even name dropped superman... So superman exists in that world. So much of this movie makes me think it was clearly DC inspired. The director they chose should be more suited to DC, not Marvel --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg <cite>saspa posted [p:964506444] in Finally sa...

It basically exists in this weird spot where it doesn't do anything amazing I thought it was goofy, but the wrong kind of goofy. The aforementioned cringey sex scene between two wooden characters with no romantic chemistry felt like I was watching a different movie and was definitely goofy. - The whole hilariously heavy handed "man look at these humans killing each other smh so much war" was another lol moment for all the wrong reasons. - The pixie redhead stabbing gemma chan and them afterwards being like "ah what the heck I forgive you, now you get to be a real boy!"

The problem is that the writers wrote a script climax which forced the heroes of the MCU to behave in a manner inconsistent with their previously shown behavior in prior movies. Like the Chitauri invasion in the first Avengers movie, or Thanos. World-ending threats bring out the Avengers. Yet, in this movie, the writers just expected the audience to disregard that. To say, "Sure, we've seen the Avengers come out to save the world in every Avengers movie that ever came out. But yeah, we totally understand that they'd wouldn't do so for this world-ending threat for... reasons." Hell, this doesn't just apply to the heroes, but for all heads of state as well as SHIELD. You'd expect that if a Celestial is breaking out of the Earth itself, seismographs would be recording chart-busting earthquakes world-wide. So the reaction of heads of state would be similar to other 'end-of-the-world' movies like Armageddon or Deep Impact. Especially if SHIELD says, "The Avengers aren't here to save us right now."

Tom_Joad 04/24/22 9:38:23 PM #27:	The point is that you can't make a movie in the MCU that involves the end of the world. Not without a really good explanation as to why nobody else is getting involved. Dr. Strange, for example, did face an end-of-the-world enemy. And the script-writers were smart enough to shift the battle OUTSIDE of our reality (for the most part). Which was a really well-done way to communicate to the audience that the rest of the MCU wouldn't know about danger. Further, with the timestone, Dr. Strange reversed time to remove all the damage caused from his battle with Dormammu. That's how you write a story with world-shattering stakes that doesn't involve the rest of the MCU. --- Hell, with the earth's crust split at the end of the movie and with the infant Celestial's hand literally sticking out of the earth's atmosphere, a large portion of the earth's population should be dead in the MCU. Either from the earthquakes, from the shattered crust engulfing entire cities, or from the worldwide tsunamis destroying coastal cities for large parts of the globe. The movie literally end human civilization on Earth as we know it... and it's treated as a "Eh, no biggie." For Pete's sake, the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs didn't do as much damage to the earth as what was show in that movie. --- "History shows again and again that nature points out the folly of man.

Which was a really well-done way to communicate to the audience that the rest of the MCU wouldn't know about danger. Further, with the timestone, Dr. Strange reversed time to remove all the damage caused from his battle with Dormammu. That's how you write a story with world-shattering stakes that doesn't involve the rest of the MCU. --- Hell, with the earth's crust split at the end of the movie and with the infant Celestial's hand literally sticking out of the earth's atmosphere, a large portion of the earth's population should be dead in the MCU. Either from the earthquakes, from the shattered crust engulfing entire cities, or from the worldwide tsunamis destroying coastal cities for large parts of the globe. The movie literally end human civilization on Earth as we know it... and it's treated as a "Eh, no biggie." For Pete's sake, the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs didn't do as much damage to the earth as what was show in that movie. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
