Yeah, this was just ok. Nothing about it was really offensive. My favorite part is easily the end Red Hulk fight/sequence.

The fight made me roll my eyes. Not even Steve Rogers could go Toe to Toe with Hulk but Sam covers the blows with his shield and wings and gets his ass repeatedly knocked backwards, legs digging into the ground and his legs aren't snapping into a thousand pieces?

They explain at the very beginning of the movie. His suit has the Black Panther suit power ups, it's vibranium which absorbs energy.

The 4 day weekend thing is a big fucking lie. it was out for almost an entire week. Nothing comes out on a Friday anymore. It used to be Wednesday nights, all day Thursday and then the weekend. Now they have "special screenings" on Mondays and Tuesdays which also gets pumped in with "the weekend". these people are full of shit.

To reiterate, Ant-Man 3 opened with $106M the same weekend with two years less inflation. That finished at just $214M, or a barely over 2 multiplier (US lifetime / opening weekend).
The interesting question is if Cap Falcon even tops Cap America 1's $176M total (with nearly 14 years less inflation), though on the bright side, it has already topped the lifetime box office of The Marvels!

Even nogger tech doesn't give him strength to hold his ground. It would say "absorb energy", but he would still get punted like a soccer ball. It's the dumbest shit explanation.

Yes, Sam is the better Captain America, because Steve was given the serum, whereas Sam is just a normal man!
... that was given a suit far superior to nearly all heroes out there, solely due to the color of his skin?

We saw BP have essentially all his powers (from eating the flower) without his suit, so falcon + suit ≠ BP + suit. It's kind of a dumb thing to get hung up on though. Both Stark and Rhodes are established supers with only suit tech and nano suit tech has presumably only gotten better.
This kind of argument is as old as comics though. Trying to compare and scale powers from normal human to reality destroying beings isn't an exact science.

It was a good movie in its own way. Lots of WWII mostalgia bait, and Peggy Carter's tits.

It was not all day Thursday. That was the early screening day, but theaters aren't airing all day long -- there is a big difference between Thursday and Friday for a new release if the official release date is Friday. Any special screenings are also quite limited but they do occur. There's also nothing special about the accounting here -- all movies operate the same way. You're just making shit up if you think the showing count for Mon-Thursday evening compares at all to the actual Friday. You also don't seem to realize the four day weekend isn't talking about Thursday to Sunday, but Friday to Monday since that's a holiday Monday. As usual, your box office knowledge is a hodgepodge of facts and your hallucinations.

He never said that, he said they were basing the look on Metropolis.Iron suits didn't exist before metropolis?
I think there's about 1000 years worth of them predating that.

You confirmed what I said, but you deny it. Just dickyboy things. 4 day weekends is not just 4 days. I never said Thursday to Sunday. That came out of your ass. 4 day weekend always includes Monday. But in Hollywood, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all gets encapsulated in the weekend box office or in this instance, 4 day weekend. So two Mondays can be involved in this 4 day weekend

And what exactly is your point? The miniscule advance screenings before Thursday amount to hardly any revenue. There's only been a few films in the last few decades where that wasn't the case.
It's been like this for all films and has been for decades. You try to act like it's some type of conspiracy or tricky accounting when everybody who knows what's going on completely understands it. So any comparisons are totally fair. In this case, the pre Thursday screening amounts to at best a few hundred thousand. Thursday previews were 12 million. And it should be noted that any trade publications will also call out the difference between the 3-day and the 4-day holiday weekend. Once again you simply aren't familiar with things and think there's something untoward going on when it's all standard practice. You weren't making the same kind of dumb attempt at a gotcha when something like Deadpool 3 or Top Gun were doing the same thing.

The point this entire time is that a 4 day or 3 day weekend is nonsense because it's more than Friday to Sunday/Monday. it's a cumulative of the entire week. The amount is immaterial. It's the fact that more days are involved here. And pre Friday showings make a big difference as it adds to the weekend. If you want to talk about weekend showings, is it too much to expect only weekend showings be counted? It's also stupid to say weekend box office on Sunday morning because there is still Sunday showings. The numbers should be talked about on Monday.And what exactly is your point?
