    Gotta say, when I saw the pic earlier today on Facebook my first thought was "man I bet Chincy is loving this"

    Seeing his reaction was heartbreaking

    You will find I am far and away one of the most positive on it

    I think the helmets are really atrocious but mostly like the suits

    Most of the people who follow twa have been much much less positive than that

    Went and saw Civil War, and the difference in the audience reaction from when I saw BvS:DoJ was palpable. People were cheering and clapping at every cool moment and introduction, it was like the opening night for Force Awakens all over again. Just pure positivity in the air, and despite being probably the most serious and relatively dour of all the Marvel stuff, it never strayed too far from being plain fun.

    It's a little hard to parse out how I feel about Civil War compared to other MCU films

    The word "effortless" comes to mind, this movie juggled so many different plot strands so perfectly, much better than Age of Ultron did

    I think I may still prefer The Winter Soldier though

    Those power ranger suits look more like iron man suits than mass effect to me probably due to the glowing chestpiece.

    Thing is I always associated power rangers fighting to be very acrobatic with lots of jumping and kicking. Which looks like it would be really hard to do in those power armor looking suits?

    depends on what we're talking about in terms of cgi/practical effects

    Also I don' tthink the chestpiece is glowing but I'm not sure, I thought it was lensflare/glare

    Yeah definitely gonna have to see what the film's action scenes will look like to determine if the suits will work with the action.

    And looking again at the design I not only definitely see the mass effect influenced design in it but the chestpiece looks like some kind of prismatic stone or something deeply transparent that reflects the light source from within.

    That's where I'm at with it

    I might put it at the top of my list of "what's the BEST Marvel movie"

    But I don't think it displaces Guardians or Winter Soldier for "what's my FAVORITE"

    I am gonna take proper Civil War discussion to the main thread but I am just gonna chime in with the chorus of voices saying Black Panther and Spider-Man were absolutely perfect in every way

    Incredibly excited for their movies

    I think ultimately, the thing that's gonna keep Civil War from being the top of the top for me is how heavy it is for most of it

    Maybe that will change with some distance, but I can't see myself rewatching it a bajillion times like most Marvel movies

    It's 2 and a half hours long and really seeps itself in some dark shit

    It has SEQUENCES that are really fun, but you can never really forget about the weight of the situation

    None of this is a negative, it's just inherent to the story they tell

    I wasn't going to see Civil War till next week because of finals. But then the network in the animation labs crapped out, and after I started working in the computer lab the campus was evacuated for a fire...sooo

    Looks like Captain Marvel will be introduced into the MCU earlier than her own movie, as the Russos accidentally name dropped her when talking about characters in Infinity War Part One.

    Apparently Kevin Smith suggested that Ice Cube should play John Stewart

    My guess would be that shows up as part of Earth's defense efforts against an invading Thanos similar to Smith's role in Independence Day.

    Well they specifically said Captain Marvel, not Carol Danvers, so I would imagine she gets her powers at some point in the film if not already having them by the beginning

    I'd be down with Infinity also serving as Carol's origin story

    or maybe it'll be a bit like Spider-man where they introduce him as a pre-existing entity to generate buzz then give him in his own movie

    Yeah, that won't confuse anyone.

    I am actually really interested in how they are going to handle Danver's origin story. Is she going to get her powers in Infinity war or already have them? Given her origin, it would be weird for her to already have them this whole time, and not have been introduced before (Given the whole tahiti thing).

    yeah I think she'll probably get them in Infinity War

    like, she's already in the Air Force so it makes sense that she could be involved in some way there

    get zapped by a Kree thing

    get powers towards the end

    solo movie is about how she adjusts to having powers or something

    returns in Infinity War 2 and makes everyone eat photons

    If she gets her powers in the movie I would say it would be through something Thanos has or does, maybe accidentally through the use of the infinty stones.

    Or maybe she just gets warped into space somehow and then her own movie is her origin story set somewhere in the universe.

    But yeah, I saw Civil War. It was great.
    I loved Spidey, really interested in if he can carry a solo movie.
    And yeah, Black Panther owned and is in way more of it than I thought he'd be. :+1:

    DEADLINE: When do you start these Avengers films?
    JOSEPH RUSSO: We already started them, a couple months ago. We had to. We start shooting in November, two movies back to back. So we need two scripts ASAP, and we probably started working on them six months ago.

    The Russos said they were going to use her but wanted to wait so she got a proper debut in AMatW instead of getting shoved into the already super crowded melee of Civil War

    So probably just training and fine tuning the suit

    It's Entertainment Weekly though, they excel at making that stuff look extra weird and bad. I wonder why any of the studios lets them make promo pictures.

    well, likely they get the stuff from the studio/publisher. At most they choose which shots to use, and maybe crop them or something

    also I definitely see the mass effect thing people were talking about in that shot

    Also, it'll be interesting if Carol gets introduced in Infinity War given Fiege specifically mentioned they wanted to intro her in her own film.

    If I had to guess, I imagine how well Spider-Man and Black Panther have gone over in Civil War have made the idea a viable concept now.

    I'm actually going to get to see Civil War twice in a row on Saturday?

    My wife and I have a third who wants to see it with us, so we got 3 tickets for an earlier time (matinee prices! Yay!)

    But I still have my reserved seats at a later showing that day in literally the best seats in the house, and like hell am I giving those up, so I'm just going to essentially walk right out of one theater and right into another with a different buddy
