    Apparently the directors, writers, designers and FX folks behind Black Panther and the next Avengers movie worked pretty closely with each other to make sure the films matched.

    Damnit, I need to catch up on Agents of Shield.

    And continue praying that they get at least cameos in the background of Infinity War.

    If Spiderman and Pun-Pun/Double D don’t mention eachother even though they’re in the same city, I don’t think AoS would show up. I would love if they did though. Even just in the background for a second to validate their shared existence.

    Yeah, it's a nice thought, but probably more likey for a meteor to hit the earth.

    It's not really so much that it's unlikely for a meteor to hit the earf

    It's just that it keeps not happening

    It's... pretty much a certainty at some point.

    Technically, meteors hit the earth all the time. We just had one in Michigan a couple of weeks ago.

    Wait do you mean to tell me Rotten Tomatoes is useless all of a sudden because random people on the internet are intentionally screwing with the random internet person rating not like the good old days when there was a pure random internet person rating oh wait

    The critics score is fine, it's the audience score which can be gamed.

    Hahahaha...

    Oh, wait, are you not joking?

    Nope, not joking.

    RT has that problem common to any aggregator: the sum of its inputs isn’t any more worthwhile than the inputs themselves. There are a lot of trash movie critics out there but at least RT makes it easy to drill down and see their articles (as opposed to the fan reviews.)

    Disney doesn’t care because the audience is locked in; I doubt much of anyone interested in seeing black panther is looking at RT and going “yeah but it’s only 50% fresh”

    hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
    that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

    I stopped watching the BP clips after the first one so I don't get spoiled. But I still have questions.
    So the two girls are in a car that's being shot at by some bad guys with machine guns. The car is bulletproof. Ok so far. Then one of the girl gets on top of the car to throw a spear at the bad guys. But what's protecting her from the bullets there? She's not in the car anymore. Shouldn't she be swiss cheese seconds after stepping out?

    The guys doing the shooting are ex stormtroopers.

    I think its just a rule of movie. Something like "Success or failure of any action taken depends on whether success or failure makes the scene more cool, dramatic, or funny for the genre of movie that the action takes place in, irregardless of logical sense."

    Yeah but Imma take my cultural phenomenon advice from somebody with a moral compass that flawed with a grain of salt.

    Don't get me wrong, I am way more excited for this than I've been for anything since GotG2, and I very much hope it is, but--

    Chloe Bennet's paycheck is part of the same franchise as Black Panther, no need to reach further than that for why hers isn't necessarily the most objective opinion on the subject.

    If RT cared about review integrity they probably wouldn't have created a review aggregator at all.

    EDIT: though obviously review aggregators and their use and purpose is somewhat off-topic. Hey how about those literal seconds of new footage of Infinity War?

    Rule of cool.

    Within the limits of the tone of the movie. Ragnarok and Winter Soldier both had scenes where the rule of cool applied, but Ragnarok's stuff would look goofy as hell in Winter Soldier, whereas Winter Soldier's action wouldn't even have registered against Ragnarok's wackiness. The MCU guys usually have a pretty solid grasp on what sort of movie they're making, so I'm not too worried about a scene sticking out as being really stupid looking.

    Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!

    I liked the part where Iron Man and Dr. Strange did a Team Special move.

    True, but her being bias by being at Marvel means she shouldn't be listened to without a huge grain of salt. RE: Hugh Jackman, his opinion is worthless for whatever movie he's in or apart of - yet part of his job is selling that brand, like Chloe's.

    I wouldn't say it needs a huge grain of salt, just that she's got a vested interest in not saying a MCU movie is poop from a butt. It's not like she's Cavill talking up BvS while Affleck is sitting there wondering if there's a nearby bridge he could jump from. Her statement is all-in on BP, so the fact she didn't go with something more measured counts for a little something.

    Though calling something a cultural phenomenon ahead of time is basically daring the universe to strike you down. Or at least make you a bad meme for a few years.

    One of the stranger memories I've held on to is of Sylvester Stallone on Oprah shilling Judge Dredd.

    But I'd actually forgotten about it until just a few years back when I saw him on a talk show...shitting on Judge Dredd, and my brain made the connection.
