Captain Marvel was boring and bland, and Brie has the charisma of a potato.

But the biggest reason the movie was shit was the character's arc and the central message. "When men try to get you to control your emotions, they're making you weaker. Let your emotions flare up out of control and you'll be all powerful!"

I know, I know, silly comic book movie, but these things have themes rooted in the actual human experience. This movie explored the eternal difference between men and women and came to the most retarded conclusion possible.
It was also stupid because they kept nagging her about 'showing emotion' but her wooden performance barely displayed any emotions during the entire movie. Like telling a fucking tree to stop being so emotional.

There've been thousands of shit movies before those. And thousands of shit movies afterward.

Watching a disappointing movie is one thing. Probably happens fairly regularly if you're watching movies regularly.

Trying to desperately to stir up some kind of fake outrage over some alleged SJW conspiracies or fake narratives about how they allegedly failed commercially because some actor/director/gaffer/whatever dared to criticise the president are just laughable, kindergarden attempts at Breitbart-style fake-politics.

Do you even check the other movie threads you fucking twit? We shit on all kinds of movies for all kinds of reasons. Those two were brought up because they are part of the two giant franchises that the Mouse is trying to run into the ground by failing to meet the hilariously low standard of absolute mediocrity.

to be fair to the cheese thief, i dont know if she had shown human emotions it would have made any damned difference to the movie anyway. it was written so generically, paint by numbers pacing. it was destined to be lame. we didnt even get a good villain. the scary looking aliens werent even the bad guys, they had to subvert expectations to make it so the only white guy was the baddie. wow, what a fucking twist you did there.

Not many of them that made ~$700M less than the movie that preceded it...or caused the next 2 movies made in that universe to do much worse than expected, too. There's so many reasons Last Jedi was shit that have nothing to do with SJW or political shit, it's actually irritating when that sort of stuff is brought up regarding it, because it gives people an out to claim it's the only reason people say it was trash, when it was not.

Color me excited. Lead is in a pretty funny Canadian show called Kim's Convenience, which is on Netflix. Not at all PC which helps.

An old tweet from the lead actor of shang chi comparing that cardi b slob's music to watching a homless guy yelling in the street. The responses were the predictable kind. You racist sexist, how dare you. The usual.
Another positive reason to watch this movie then.

Punisher was badass too. Really only Iron Fist was trash.

I really liked Luke Cage at the start. Season 1 > season 2 though for sure. Actor who played him was likeable and to this day I still have "Long live the chief" in my default playlist because the intro acts at the club were pretty cool.

I actually didn't like Daredevil very much, but Punisher was really solid.

Yeah, Luke Cage was generally good, except that final fight of season one against Spandex Man; man that was bad. Oh yeah, and that unnecessary villain swap halfway through season one. Still generally enjoyable.
