I will agree with that article P-C linked, where an unfortunate number of reviews that dismiss Black Widow as eye-candy and/or question why Scarlett Johansen is in such a "meaningless" role.
Personally, I think Widow was an essential part of the movie, both for her contributions to their endeavors, and as a foil to Cap's idealism. (She also got most of the best lines, though Falcon and Cap had some good ones, too.) I also loved the bit where Cap goes back for the
thumb drive to find it missing and Widow steps up behind him popping the gum it was hidden behind.
I said this on Facebook, but I feel it strongly enough to say it again. It's nice that Marvel is filming so much in Cleveland, so I don't have to go back there to visit in person. I did a certain amount of "Hey I used to ride my bike across that bridge" while watching this movie. Of course, during Avengers I was playing "Spot the spots where I'd go when cutting school".
That was in my white-font, but I failed at indicating there was white-font.
Oh, oops. I didn't realize there was white font. It's sneaky that way
It's insidious. Like root beer, and the Federation.
Whitefont is murdering me. I can't see it until Thursday because I promised to wait for my friend. aigh. Maybe I'll go see it anyway. nnngh
I can't see it until after my next payday.
You guys spend lots of money seeing it multiple times so it will still be here - okay?
(It would be the 3rd weekend. . . )
I think it's safe to say it'll be in theaters for at least a month.
I do have to wonder why Steve thought
hiding the jump drive in a vending machine with a giant window was a good idea. Are villains not allowed to carry small bills in the MCU? "The secret McGuffin would be mine if only I had change for a 50. Curse you, Captain America!"
Goyer Reveals WB Doesn’t Have A DC Gameplan.
Well, that's interesting.
“I mean, it’s too early. I know that Warner Bros. would love to make their universe more cohesive. There have been a lot of general conversations about that, but it’s really, really early. I’m not sure. It’s just been vague conversations so far”
Yeah, Marvel wasn't saying it was too early when they started plotting. This is why they're pulling it off, and you guys are taking about talking about it.
Is hte Marvel Comics universe more cohesive than the DC one? I don't know DC well enough. I know the Avengers and the X-Men run into each other all the time, and Spider-Man swings through (heh) wherever he wants.
Then again, Superman and Batman are besties.
