I love Snyder-bashing as much as the next guy, but BvS was pretty successful financially. It's still #13 of the biggest opening weekends of all time (#8 when it came out) and that's in spite of being released in March. Critically though, yeah, it deserves the criticism.

I was pretty much convinced after one viewing of Batman V Superman that I did not want to ever see that movie ever again. I don't know exactly what it takes to make something like the Guardians of the Galaxy work as perfectly as they did, but somehow they never got too silly or too bleak, they stayed on the narrow path where the audience can accept them as real characters. That's an incredible feat and not many film makers can pull that off.

The trick to introducing the X-Men is mutants would have always been there, there are lots of them, yet nobody has encountered a mutant in the MCU.

I suppose the solution would be to introduce mutants as a new thing that's starting to emerge and then they can deal with the fear and discrimination as it would have happened today, and I think I just talked myself into that concept.

I mean, according to general 'culture' gay people didn't exist until about 1985.


You could just have that they were in hiding and more and more Mutants are being born with every generation, attribute miracles or strange phenomenons like ghost sightings, UFOs, spontaneous combustion, crop circles, big foot, etc, etc to them

Heh, that reminds me of the convo Iceman's parents had with him in X-men 2. The way I see it, there's three ways of acting towards somebody who is a "mutant". 1) Deny there's a problem and avoid that person indefinitely, even if they are family, 2) Accept them for who they are, or 3) Awesome! You can be an Avenger now!

And the beginning scene is the conservative cultural pressure causing him to self harm.

I was freaking out a little this morning because I went onto Fandango and there were showtimes for Endgame but it looked like they were all sold out but a part of me was like uhhhh.... wut? Anyways I took a closer look and went to Friday, Saturday and Sunday's showtimes and that's when it hit me. As much as I'd love to see Avengers Endgame sell out tickets that fast and that far in advance I realized there's no way that every single showing could be sold out by now. Sure enough, when I clicked on one of the showtimes it said "Tickets coming soon, be sure to check back later!". So while I will feverishly continue to obsessively and compulsively check on the status of ticket sales over the next few days, this is an obvious sign that they are almost ready to start selling tickets. Get your credit cards ready, ladies and gentlemen.

Literally was just checking my calendar to see when Endgame tickets go on sale to make sure I hadn't missed it yet. Your post made my heart skip a little.

I can't believe we're less than a month away.

Just to be sure I called a local theater manager and he said the date of the exact time for selling tickets is confidential so he couldn't tell me the exact date. All he could tell me is that it wouldn't be the weekend and it would be sometime this coming week. I'm guessing that means Tuesday. Might mean earlier though so keep an eye on Fandango in the meantime.

one of the benefits of being a foreigner (besides being cold as ice and hot blooded) is that the english-language showings aren't even close to full. i went to captain marvel on the monday of opening weekend and there was maybe ten other people in the theatre.
