There are soo many heroes in Marvel you don't need to recast characters. The X-Men phase is gonna start and it's going to become Iron Man who?

I don't know about that, since a lot of the early casting like RDJ casting and character were such a damn good match. Same with Hemsworth, Evans, Johansen, and Benadryl Cumberbund as Dr Strange. Not to mention, I don't think they can bring back the writing/story/production quality we had in the first few MCU phases....

Combine with the fact that the movie industry has changed. If they're going to be profitable, they're going to have to learn to make the movies with less budget. That's just the reality of the degree that covid killed the "average moviegoer" outside rare outlier films like D&W.

You'll be able to ask AI to create a movie for you long before Disney gets that genie in the bottle. Consider the source.

Not even that, both characters are flawed in similar ways in the comics. Sentry was portrayed very faithfully here. I also didn't have any problems with "newborn" Adam Warlock. Gunn knows he flubbed the character, but wrote himself into a corner introducing him in GotG2.

Agreed on both accounts.

But getting back to Sentry, people complain they want characters "true to the comics" and not this "mcu cuck woke bs" or whatever else they are calling Sentry....and this is literally how he is in the comics. Sentry's powers fluctuate based on his emotional stability. That's why Void was so powerful, his emotional state is just nothing and feeling empty with nothing else impacting him. No hope, no love, no nothing. Sentry could very well be the most loyal the MCU has been to a character from the comics, aside from the regular Avengers. The only place they strayed was Bob wasn't in a sentry program, he broke into a lab looking for drugs and took something labeled "Sentry Project". Pretty trivial, really.

As far as this movie...it was "okay". Far and above the best thing since End Game, but that's a pretty low bar. I saw it for $6 and I was okay with that as I had nothing to do that day anyway. I've not been a fan of anything Bucky related since the Winter Solider movie, the rest of the cast is whatever, though I like Red Guardian.

I'd rate the movie around what I paid to see it. A 6/10. It was a welcome change though from recent movies.

Took 3 kids to see it today. I liked it...probably won't ever watch it again. This movie felt less like the "Marvel formula" than most of the movies since Avengers. It had less humor in it and overcoming the villain with psychology rather than brute force was...a change.

Yelena was good, but missing most of her charm from Black Widow and Hawkeye...but probably made sense if it was intentional since she was "depressed" or "looking for purpose" or whatever.
I had to look up where I knew the assistant from...Miracle Workers. She did a good job. I just don't care about Ghost or Captain Asshole, and I don't like Dreyfus as an actress.

think in the capfalcon thread, i thought this was going to pass bnw. mainly because after opening weekend it constantly did 10-20% better than bnw. compared to fall guy which open same weekend in 2024. after its 4th week fall guy went on to make $15m. thunderbolts got removed from theaters much faster and after 4th week, lost to fall guy every day and only made $11m. during its 4th week estimates still had it around $194-200ish domestic.

Is that adjusted for inflation or just raw numbers? Seems like it should be a bigger turd than this.

I was only curious because the reviews have been mostly positive. I've skipped most of the marvel stuff since Infinity Wars.

It's a good Alzheimer's disease simulator. 2 minutes after watching it, you forgot what it was about.

I don't know what it is about her, but I find Florence Pugh totally unattractive.

It's the smug asshole attitude.

Conventionally, she's gorgeous, but her personality repulses you and when you can't stand a woman, you associate it with her face being punchable, erego, uglier.

She's short and squat with no tits. Not conventionally beautiful at all. She's kinda uggo. 6 at best. Looks like one of them squat Mexican women. Like Arnold Schwarzeneggers baby momma.

Is her bra on backwards in this pic? Or she's like an owl and has turned her head around 180 so that's her back? Right? because if not, then we need to face the fact that I probably have a nicer rack.

Yeah, I don’t know much about her personality. To me, she’s just physically unattractive, like in an uncanny-valley way where something feels off.
