I honestly didn't mind AoU. Not among the best but not disappointing imo.
Maybe that's why I don't hate it.
It felt disjointed and thrown together. I think a lot got lost in the editing room floor. For example in the theater we missed a lot of potentially important info with Thor's jacuzzi and how that related to waking Vision.

I am one of the biggest Whedon fan boys out there and this movie broke him, mind and body. It was pretty scary to read how much it effected him. He fought Disney like crazy to keep those scenes in and was not able to get his way.
I agree. That horrible Batman/Superman movie was made 50% better with the extended version. It was shocking how much better it was.
Opposite for me. Was disappointed coming out of the theater, but has gotten mildly better upon multiple viewings. Still near the bottom of my personal rankings though.
That seems odd since without that scene you lose the impact of Vision picking up the hammer later. Makes no sense.
I think that was one of Whedon's points in why he fought to keep the scene in. However, in winning this battle he was forced to lose many others in which scenes were chopped.
I liked Norton’s Hulk, too. But it didn’t continue the story from Lee’s movie, it just ignored it. In the opening of the movie, it shows Norton’s Banner getting gamma exposure that was an homage to the Incredible Hulk from TV, much different than what happened in Lee’s.
That's what I meant. They started him in South America. Didn't hit all the details of the movie but that was a Marvel movie and terrible one. But they didn't dismiss it outright. If for some reason someone watched that one before watching IH07, they wouldn't be lost.
Just a side note to anyone familiar with the Captain Marvel backstory (comics), this movie will drive you insane. The changes to Mar-Vell, the Rambeaux story line....there's a lot of stuff that'll be kind of insulting to any decent comic nerd.
Take the final "s" off of your spoiler quote on each side. Otherwise it shows
Yeah sorry, I immediately deleted the post once I saw I messed up. Lets try this again:
I read all of those when they came out. Didn't bother me at all. The entire storyline would be overly complicated and probably pretty boring. They cut it down to a digestible story focused on the character they wanted, and fit it into the Avengers arc. It worked just fine. This is like Game of Thrones nerds complaining that the TV show isn't true to the books.
They didn’t dismiss it but they made it clear, at least IMO, that Hulk had nothing to do with Incredible Hulk. They included glimpses of a new origin so that you could see they weren’t to be considered in the same storyline.Insein said:
Yeah exactly. It isn't like they care what the 40 year old white man thinks anyway about this, it isn't made for him. /sCapella said:
Jeez dude. The “let’s get Alita to win over Captain Marvel” shtick is quite literally alt-right Proud Boy girls are gross 15 year old reddit troll BS. I can’t believe you’re on board with that.
Last I looked Alita had a female lead. Good grief dude, buy a ticket to "Greta" or "Green Book" or "Madea's Funeral"....whatever. Anything except putting money in Brie Larson's pocket.
Read your own post above. You’re the one going out of your way to buy a ticket for one movie and sneaking into another. Now, unless youre 11 and want to catch a cheerleader slasher...it’s very odd behavior.
There are people that are curious about the movie, but really don't want to reward Brie Larson. There's an option for them. That's not Antifa hitting people over the head with bike locks crazy. It's a very simple economic protest. Putting it in the realm of alt-right is an over-reaction at best. In fact, using the funds to back a smaller picture (like Greta) helps those films continue to get made.
Hasn't this been his M.O. on these boards for like a decade plus? I seem to remember similar stuff from him way back when, like during the Bush years.
Why Alt-Right love for Alita? I'm seeing some of the Facebooks posts condemning Larson and they'll all popping for Alita.
I can't say that I've read all 63 pages of this thread, but is it all like this? I came in to post a review and see what others thought of the movie, and there's guys talking about some weird mix of politics and self appeasement.
you're advocating not just a protest but a type of theft to further a completely ridiculous political view about a freaking comic book movie. who, exactly, is taking things too seriously?
No, pretty much only started when you showed up. You can't possibly be serious about all this. You're shock-jocking this thing, right? Just give me a wink and we can go back to pretending you are serious
Oh, I get that. It was a throw away line at the end of a review, didn't think it would blow up like it did. Kind of seemed like people went zero to sixty and blew it out of proportion.
If I'm attacked, I defend myself. I know I should be the bigger person and just ignore it, but it's tough.
Totally down with that. Sorry I missed your hidden Q the first time
