Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

There's nothing "fair" about crediting the hostility even a little. You should not deprive yourself of enjoying a film because of them. By doing that, you hand them a victory. They want people to do what you are doing.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yeah, all of this is bullshit. There is no rating inflation, there is no box office inflation, all of it is nonsense conspiracy theories that do not deserve any attention. Just ignore all of that. If you don't want to watch the film, fine, but don't let stupid conspiracy theorists be why.
Personally, I thought it was great, the best solo MCU origin film yet.

“Then came the accusation of bot usage to over-inflate the audience score. It was worse hearing how journalists were admittedly faking stories to protect the movie, especially when the whole box office stuff was being discussed too.”
None of that is true. You really shouldn’t give credence to angry misogynist conspiracy theories.

So anyway,as I was saying
A marvel directed Transformers movie would be awesome,though I'm wondering which generation they'd use,they'd obviously use Optimus Prime,maybe use a different set of transformers from the ones aleady used in the movie,Bumblebee maybe
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverThere is absolutely no credence to anything the "anti-sjw" people have said about captain marvel. From the very beginning, it was a disingenuous attack motivated entirely by either the idea of marvel finally having a female-led film for the first time and/or their personal dislike of Brie Larson for silly, immature reasons.
If you don't want to watch Captain Marvel I don't think anyone here would begrudge that in and of itself; I'm sure the movie is perfectly fine and I think it's great and important that women can finally get a Marvel film with a message and narrative they can strongly identify with, but I'm not necessarily in a hurry to go see it myself since I'm suffering from Marvel fatigue a bit. That being said, the controversy should have nothing to do with your decision since it was built on a foundation of lies, resentment, and misogyny.

Just got my ticket for opening night for Endgame. Ended up going to the 3rd screening since that was the first one with decent seats still available. Technically I could of gone to the first one, but that would of meant frontrow seats.
And I'd much rather get preassigned seating and wait for a later showing then have to wait in line for hours on end.
I haven't actually finished Punisher yet. My usual watching partner has less time available to watch so we've been going through it slowly.
Enjoying it so far, though it's suffering from two-plots-one-season syndrome like the second half of Daredevil S2 did; like the Hand and the Blacksmith, there doesn't seem to be any actual connection between the Jigsaw and Pilgrim plotlines other than Frank Castle trying to solve both, and where I currently am Pilgrim hasn't even appeared in a few episodes because it's been purely Jigsaw-focused.
Everything else is still on-point though.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

I have tried to be fair and see their side of things by looking into why news articles are being derided for bias and how Disney had been personally involved regarding the ratings being adjusted. Then came the accusation of bot usage to over-inflate the audience score. It was worse hearing how journalists were admittedly faking stories to protect the movie, especially when the whole box office stuff was being discussed too.
It...was a mess. I chose to wash my hands of the nonsense and just move on. If anyone here liked it, I’m happy for you.
I’m just content to judging the character herself when Endgame finally arrives.
