It's not a Marvel movie, for the purposes of this thread.

Garfield has superpowers.

Eating lasagne and not liking Mondays are not superpowers.

Eating lasagne and not liking Mondays are not superpowers.

Unless he means Garfield Logan.

What annoyed/annoys me is Yondu and his silly arrow. I actually think the arrow is cool, but for it to work it need hardened killers to stand still for about thirty seconds while he gets it to do a nice round trip to get everyone. It was daft in the first one, but he killed largely stupid drones. To them take out at least vaguely competent people just seems a bit stupid.

But Groot can talk and perform complicated fighting moves, but yes, spaceships and stuff.

Did anyone see who the beings were during the first warp jump?

No, there was one before that, I thought.

So this thread is useless if you haven't seen every single Marvel film and want to avoid spoilers

The single hardest aspect of the setup to believe was that their engineer guy--who seemed to be some kind of utter fucking tech genius given that he could integrate earth and alien tech in about five minutes near the start--was happy just creating weapons and being told what to do by a bunch of assholes when people like Stark would be falling over themselves to offer him a job given the ability he displayed throughout.

One problem that comic books (and by extension comic book movies) have always had is that you have all these geniuses running round inventing these amazing technologies... Which they then use to rob banks or fight crime or try to kill Superman. If they just got a real job and sold their inventions they'd be billionaires and would make everyone's life better.

Seriously, think of all the possible uses for Peter Parker's web fluid, and he uses it to swing round the city and truss up petty crooks.

There's another thread for people who do not fit that criteria, and an abundance of threads you could create to fill any gaps in the current offering.

I wasn't criticising, just observing.

The new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok looks fucking amazing. They've gone all in with the 80s prog rock album cover aesthetic and it's absolutely not taking itself too seriously.

Spider-Man was pretty great. Mostly for the supporting cast though. Keaton was ace.

The only things I was a bit "hmm" about was Hela, who I thought was a bit two dimensional and a bit dull, and I think Thor beat Hulk too easily in the gladiator arena.

And what happened to Loki? He was nowhere near as funny or good as a good guy.

1 - Hulk (not Thor) won the fight comfortably because he’s Hulk.

Hulk would have continued to pound him because Hulk.

Hulk was pretty much unconscious. I fully agree that Hulk should have just been turning him into a smear on the floor.

meh. i'm sure it'll be another movie where the fate of the entire universe hinges on the titular heroes which of course means that there's no stakes whatsoever because the heroes can't possibly lose.

i'll still watch it anyway, obviously, but unless all of the "old guard" avengers die at the end I'll consider it a disappointment.
