  1. *spoiler alert*

    Yes, a spoiler is incoming.

    Not a big spoiler.

    But a spoiler, nevertheless.

    Well, maybe not a spoiler, just an observation.

    In Avengers: End Game, Captain Marvel was way way less important than Ant Man, and Ant Man is a really low bar. Tiny even. He’s a teensy weensy little superhero.

    1. According to one story Captain Marvel wasn’t suppose to be in Endgame. Kevin Feige ordered the directors to shoehorn her in at the last moment.

      Then there are some rumors that the rest of the cast did not like working with her. As in her being so full of herself.

      1. That would explain a lot, and amusingly…

        *cups hands* Small spoiler coming!

        *** inbound small spoiler ***

        *** heads! ***

        The writers had Captain Marvel busy helping all the other planets, completely off screen, so she couldn’t be around much to help the Earth and the Avengers with anything. She was far too important, and quite aware of her importance, to have any time for this parochial little planet and its silly characters. She does appear at a couple of key moments, though.

        I suppose, from a writer’s and producer’s perspective, and as they said in another movie franchise, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

    2. I’m avoiding spoilers but I expect Thanos will win and kill everyone, thereby precluding any future Marvel movies. Blink once for Yes, twice for No.

  2. I don’t know why that was so hard to comprehend in the first place

    It wasn’t. The Social Justice weirdos inhabit a world that doesn’t exist. Everyone is not only used to but enjoys women in movies and that has always been the case. She isn’t even a minority like she claims but the same is true for actual minorities.

    All I want is a good story but with so many actors determined to break the 4th wall so forcefully that it is impossible to think of them as the role they play rather than the person they are, it gets harder to support their projects. A lot of actors can’t act. They are just themselves pretending to be someone else. These types of actors, again nearly all of them, need to not break the 4th wall.

  3. I think Wonder Woman was much better, despite complaints that Gal Gadot’s performance was rather wooden (I disagree). She certainly isn’t as full of herself as Larson. About her only flaw seems to have been chronically showing up a little late for work. It was a minor irritation to the crew, because, really now, no one actually likes waiting for Gadot.

    I hear that her husband, Guy Gadot, is a pretty good egg.

  4. I am getting old and excuse me for a moment (Hey, you kids over there, get off of my lawn!).

    OK, where was I? Does anyone care about Ant Man, Star Wars since the Jar Jar Binks character are any of the rest of this?

    1. I’m really bored with movies about superheroes, which of course includes the magical Star Wars universe that can’t figure out which genre it’s in.

      I eventually watched the first Ant Man, just to behold a movie about a guy the size of an ant, and to see if anybody could pull it off without Rick Moranis (“Honey I Shrunk the Kids”, IMDb 6.3/10). They pretty well succeeded (7.3/10), which is way better than Matt Damon did with “Downsizing” (5.7/10).

      Avengers Endgame has a 9.1/10 rating, and if that holds it will make it the 3rd highest rated movie on IMDb, behind only The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather.

      Among my many problems with superhero movies is the comic book physics and usually fantasy universe they’re set in, where whole cities can get nearly wiped of the map, month after month, without anyone seeming to care all that much.

      On the other hand, they do typify conservative values of responsibility, independence, the importance of individual action, and truth, justice, and the American way. Yet they also contrast this with progressive values, such as the importance of uniting as a group and demanding that someone else solve the problem, and taking pointless collective actions such as huddling together in terror right before Godzilla stomps them. I suppose the survivors later praise Godzilla for the SUV’s he took off the highways, greatly reducing mankind’s CO2 emissions, which is a goal silly enough to be comfortably conveyed in a fantasy movie like “Waterworld” (6.2/10).

      I think M. Night Shyamalan did very well in making a different type of superhero universe that obeys most of this planet’s rules with his trilogy “Unbreakable”, “Split”, and “Glass”.

    2. Well, they are making billions so some people care.

      Disney just came out with their streaming service. They have a huge historic catalog but they also have Marvel, Star Wars, and a bunch of stuff from Fox.

      Netflix has very few new movies and has to make their own, which often aren’t very good but build their catalog.

      If the future Marvel/SW movies go off the SJW deep end would it matter to Disney’s business? As long as costs weren’t too high, they would probably still make some money and the movies would be more fodder for their streaming service. And any parent will need to get it.

      Since Netflix is trending the same way, there really aren’t any good options to watch that aren’t heavy into inculcating cultural Marxism. Unless other options show up and/or ubiquitous cameras leads to a self publishing style revolution, studios might not make as much money as they could but also wont be losing enough money to go out of business.

      1. “Well, they are making billions so some people care. ”

        Yeah, but how much of that is real? There are a lot of reports online of mass no-shows at cinemas for Larson’s movie, so who knows if someone was just buying lots of tickets to make it look good?
