I will see this for Agent Coulson.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
Wow...I thought I knew more about Captain Marvel, but I guess I don't.
Like the trailer.
I’d i had to bet money on it, I’d say it’ll either be good, or not good.
I have a feeling that Captain Marvel will go through some soul searching before ultimately prevailing against the forces which seek to destroy her.
There may or may not be a Pulp Fiction reference.

Honestly, that trailer looks awful. Ugly lighting, poorly cut, Larson's voice is weirdly girlish and lacks charisma....

Honestly it didnt really do much of anything for me either, but it is just a teaser and I apparently dont know much about CM.
It does a good job not giving away anything, and just teasing characters. My favorite thing to do now is go into a movie completely blind. Worked so well for Hereditary, Upgrade and I plan on doing the same for Mandy (Panos Cosmatos).Quoting Skitch (view post)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying I'm not seeing anything enough to judge.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
TELL ME!
I have no idea. Maybe something to do with the pod-racer engine looking think on the left?
Not my own theory, but the ladder on the right with the crate on the edge look like and A and an E, respectively. Which I guess could lend to thoughts that this next movie could be called "Avengers: Endgame" (directly referring to Strange's line at the end of Infinity War) or "Avengers Eternal" (the Russos having previously refuted that the title was "Avengers Forever" but that that was a fairly close guess).
Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
That was my take as well, that the ladder was forming an "A" for "Avengers". Hadn't caught on the little E, though.
There's a nasty turd in the bottom right corner.

I think the most interesting thing about that trailer is that they're dropping the name "X-Men" out of the title, and just calling it "Dark Phoenix". I appreciated them for doing that with Logan, and I appreciate it here, too, so actually showing their audience at least that much respect.
But other than that, I dunno, there's just nothing there that really looks all that interesting? *shrug*
Eh. "Dark Phoenix" will make it read like a horror film on the marquee.
I'm skeptical because (a) I always am and (b) they tried this story before and did that ever suck.
(Also, this is another X-Men story about mutants fighting mutants. Formula is a little worn after so many films.)
How about an X-Man where there's no fighting and instead it's a social drama about mutant oppression? Just give someone $30 mil to do it, see how it works. They have the deep pockets.
But see, that's precisely what I like about it, is that despite this, the studio is still showing they respect their audience's intelligence enough to know the difference. I appreciate the little moments here and there where studios actually don't treat their audiences like complete and total idiots, rare as those moments may be these days.Quoting Irish (view post)

I want this more than mutants fighting humans. I was expecting this to be darker.Quoting Irish (view post)
This doesn't look very satisfying, but I really liked the line: "You're always sorry Charles and there's always a speech". Almost like the movie is saying we know we've done this before, but....
To be fair they never tried this story before. They just shoe-horned the concept at the end of a film that was about something else, same way they just threw Doomsday at the tail of Batman v. Superman. A fucking waste.Quoting Irish (view post)
As for mutants fighting mutants... that must be 90% of the comics. In fact, only God Loves, Man Kills comes to mind as a story that's purely about humans vs. mutants, and that was already sort of done in X2.
