I loved Captain Marvel and of course I especially loved Goose.
I thought Fury took the loss of his eye pretty well, considering. Maybe it's because he knew he should've just used some hydrogen peroxide.
I knew they'd bring James Gunn back. Surprised it took so long.
Still haven't seen Into the Spider-Verse.
Finally saw Venom. I enjoyed it a lot, much better version of Venom than the Spider-Man 3 Topher Grace one. Also, Eddie and Venom are totally in love and if you haven't looked at the fanart... yeah, maybe you shouldn't.
Venom is the GODDAMN BEST.
But so is Into The Spider-Verse, for different reasons. It's so, SO good.
Just got back from Captain Marvel. I really enjoyed it.
As someone who came of age during the 90's I loved the music and the other little shout outs. Stan Lee's cameo was perfection.
I did tear up a bit at the opening animation.
I was really not expecting
sympathetic Skrulls.
CGI Fury seemed to work better than CGI Coulson, for me. I agree that the latter was more uncanny valley. Maybe it helps that Samuel L. Jackson has such a prolific film career, giving them more source material to work from?
Edited because "the" is not "that."
We saw it last night, and I didn't expect to tear up at the opening tribute to Stan Lee.
I legit punched the air and whispered "Fuck YES" when
she just shot Jude Law with her powers. And while I get the narrative reasoning behind her sending him back to deliver a message, I am a bloodthirsty creature and really wanted her to just stomp his face in.
But I know, Marvel movie, so
it would never happen.
The music was great, but I agree that "I'm Just A Girl" over the big fight was not the choice I would have gone with. And the closing credits once again reminded me that while she's a terrible person, Courtney Love writes catchy songs.
I saw Captain Marvel last night and absolutely loved it!
The scene where Captain Marvel
repeatedly getting up was perfect.
I'm sorry people didn't like the song choice because, I could have watched
the fight scene with "I'm Just a Girl" playing forever and ever. I loved that song so much in high school, and thought it was a perfect choice.
I wanted more
Phil!
I watched it and I loved it. I liked it a lot more than Wonder Woman because it didn't hit my trigger point of someone needing important information and the people who are supposed to help don't give enough information. Also people trusted that she would know what she was doing. There was also no romance which was nice and a change.
Yes, to all of this!
Jude Law's
character was an asshole. His whole thing. And at the end when Carol had destroyed the nuclear warheads and the ship and she came back down and he pulled out his weapons like he had a chance to fight her I felt like "of course he thinks he has a chance". Matthew made a comment about how it was stupid and I said it was mediocre white male entitlement. Then acting like he made her and she had something to prove to him.
And yes to all of this as well!
When Carol told him
that she didn't have anything to prove to him (I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote), I cheered!
More thoughts and burblings later. I wish I could sneak another showing while ltc is at school this week, but my theater doesn't have shows that end early enough.
I just saw Captain Marvel for the third time. It gets better every time I see it. I think I was too keyed up to fully enjoy it the first time, and I get more and more out of it every time I see it.
I saw Captain Marvel for the 2.5th time (I was late to time number two) with amyth. It really does repay repeat viewing.
Apparently A: Endgame is gonna be over 3 hours long. Yikes. Maybe they'll put an in an intermission for pee break?? They did for the IMAX showing of 2001: Space Odyssey and that one was only 2 hours and 45 min long.
Ugh. Of course I'll go see it in the theater but I'll be grumbling all the way.
My feelings about that runtime can be summed up by this Vulture article: Good Lord, Avengers: Endgame Will Be More Than Three Hours Long
I just feel like three hours isn't that long for a movie anymore? Or, it's long, but normal long. Like Vulture says.
