Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm still not sure why such poorly written navel-gazing was made into a movie, but then, poorly written navel-gazing is what modern Marvel does best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 aka Avenger 2.5. This looks good. Im actually more excited for it than Avengers. They finally got Black Widow's hair looking good! I hate the soccer mom cut that Whedon always has her in the Avengers films. She tends to look decent outside of those but she looks best here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 27, 2015 Members Share Posted November 27, 2015 It does feel very soapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 27, 2015 Members Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't mind soapy - it's just all the silly contrivance and meaningless emo misery I have little time for. But maybe it will be better than the comic. At least the Marvel heroes of the screen are limited enough to where they can't kill off some bit player last seen in 1975 to try to make us have a sad.

Members Skin Posted December 21, 2015 Members Share Posted December 21, 2015 This is actually a super hero film that I am most interested in seeing. They got the trailer right for this one. I was never a big Captain America fan but Winter Soldier was a nice surprise, and fostered enough good will to make me want to see this when it comes out.

Members Taoboi Posted May 6, 2016 Members Share Posted May 6, 2016 DEFINITELY better than the comic event it was spawned from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 7, 2016 Members Share Posted May 7, 2016 Felt like Avengers 2.5 but Im not mad bc AoU was a dissappointment and this was way better than it. Better use of the characters and the plot was great. #TeamCap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 7, 2016 Members Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've mostly heard talk about how disgusting the Steve/Sharon stuff at Peggy's funeral was, but then those fans already disliked the pairing anyway (as does Chris Evans, I have a feeling).

Members Cheap21 Posted May 8, 2016 Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 I just knew you were gonna hate on something. Steve and Sharon lack chemistry but that was a very minor part of an amazing film. This wasnt a love story and they most definitely werent given one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 8, 2016 Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 Oh if I was going to hate I'd say a lot more, judging by some of the comments I've heard. That one just stuck out for me because it seems so crass to use a popular character's funeral as an excuse for the MCU's latest romance (which no one even seems to like) to mack, especially as it's the man she loved and her niece.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 8, 2016 Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 well thank god they didnt move forward with Black Panther and Black Widow. That would have given you material to go off on. I dont think anyone would have liked that either. The MCU films are good but romance isnt something they do particularly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 8, 2016 Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 I actually wouldn't mind that - I don't think I would have minded Black Widow/Hulk either if it had been written better, but it was not. I thought some of the interviews said they were still going to continue the relationship. I hope not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 8, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure Peggy has died before. The issue of her failing health, twilight years and possible demise was always a factor in the Steve/Sharon relationship in the comics. I think she died again a few years ago.
