A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
You never know, a lot of people predicted GotG would flop, being based on obscure characters with few ties to the existing Marvel movies that not that many people care about. I'm wondering if Kevin Feige is an actual wizard at this point.
It's not that I don't think one could do an Ant-Man movie, either Hank or Scott. It's just the stuff that's come out, assuming we're not looking at foilers, makes me give it the biggest side eye in history.
To hell with a Black Widow movie--give me a Captain Marvel movie competently done.
Eh, I'd rather have a Black Widow movie. I like MCU Nat bunches and loads, and she'll have been in four movies without a solo go after A2, which just seems wrong for the main female character in the MCU.
Hank Pym isn't the main character though.
And he's not even building Ultron so I'm not entirely sure why they're intent on having an Ant-Man movie. They have so many other options!
If they introduce Cassie Lang, though, that would be cool.
Exactly!
Eh, I'd rather have a Black Widow movie.
But Scarlett Johanssen sucks at the role, and the production seems to have no interest in making her better. If her lame physicality and sloppy stunting were to lead a movie...no, I think Marvel should start again with someone competent, and produce it like they're impressed with her the same way they're impressed with their male heroes.
Gamora and Amy Pond didn't suck, so it's possible. But Black Widow has been bad consistently, so I have little hope for more spotlight fixing that.
I love her in the role, though.
I thought Gamora was underwritten but adequately played, though not ZS's strongest work. Thought Gillan was great as Nebula.
Huh, whereas I thought Gillan was miscast in the role, she really didn't work for me. Concur that both women's parts were under written, though.
I would love to see a movie of Hawkeye and Black Widow meeting--or where it's a big part. It'd have to be a flashback, though, I don't think Marvel's going to do prequels.

I'm with you. Gillan didn't get much to work with, but she did well with what she had.
