    It's really inconsistent. I forgot if they explained it in the first movie, but in the comics, you retain your body mass when you shrink, that's why Ant-Man still packs a grown man's punch even when he's tiny. But for some reason it also makes inanimate objects easier to carry? Eh, let's call it Particle Magic starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
    It's also why he needs to wear a suit. Because the oxygen molecules would literally be too big for them to inhale.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Do we still believe in hype?

    A Marvel movie that's getting praise for a complex villain? SHOOT ME.

    I haven't read that, or watched any new trailers lately, but what MCU movie released in the last 10 years didn't get glowing reviews before release?

    'Astonishing,' 'iconic,' 'will save blockbusters'...

    The fact that the praises come with a side diss of previous Marvel movies is pretty funny though.

    Maybe this is the push I need to finally hit play on Fruitvale Station. Side random: Ryan Coogler and I share birthday, replacing Drew Carey as the previously most famous person.

    Ant Man & the Wasp will be the first movie I see in 3D since the last Ant-Man. Was one of the few movies that handled that well. The first was one of my favorite Marvels and this one looks even better.

    It seems kinda appropriate that the most praised thing about Ryan Coogler's new film is his muse who's been in all of his three features.
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    Michel B Jordan's Killmonger is getting the most praise in the early reactions. He's starred in all of Coogler's films. Their pairing is clearly working on some level.

    Wow

    Given the massive success of the audience review rigging on the Rotten Tomatoes site for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and due to the sudden rise in those disgruntled with Disney business practices among other factors especially due to the corporate manipulations which created falsified bad press for the DCEU, I feel that it's time to strike back at all those under Disney and bring down the house of mouse's actions for paying off the critics that hurt DC Comics on film and for other parties affected by them.

    I'll be making events like this for Infinity War and the Netflix shows etc so we can rally together to truly make a difference. Share this with your friends and all potential sympathizers.

    P.S. If you want to spread spoilers to Marvel fanboys, use this event as a platform to inform us of targets!

    Yeah, The Last Jedi amplified the conspiracy. Fanboys found the critical acclaim of the movie as the proof they were waiting for that critics are not honest.

    Doesn't the critical reception for Wonder Woman sort of negate that, though?

    I think this depends on what they mean by "paying off."

    The junket-whoredom on display during both the "Last Jedi" and "Black Panther" premieres was really something else.

    I dunno about dishonest but it's been a loooooong time since I thought critics, as a group, were credible.

    To both of these points: this is definitely a thing that you can argue and it's true in terms of access influencing goodwill. It is, however, something else entirely to believe that the majority of working critics, including the paper journos and not just film bloggers, are part of backroom deals to tank other companies' superhero movies. It's not the MCU love but the "fake negative reviews" part that carries it to conspiracy-land.

    Well---and I'm cribbing a joke I read on twitter---payola isn't necessary because most critics are half in the bag already.

    Conspiracy theories are dumb but this might be an instance where there's a kernel of truth buried in the bullshit---and the critics can't admit it, which makes the whole thing worse.

    I can’t wait for the first white reviewer that dislikes Black Panther to be accused of racism.

    My favorite is the one where Kubrick and NASA faked the moon landing.

    Sometimes I wonder what people will believe 100, 200, or 1000 years from now. Will America's trip to the moon become a myth akin to George Washington and the cherry tree?
