From Carol's point of view, half of EVERY planet just vanished so she doesn't have any real reason to suspect Earth is the epicenter, so the pager is kind of a cheat in that regard.
actually she vanished too so it's all for naught
God, I can see it, post credits cuts to her phone going off and then falling to the ground as she turns to dust or whatever and the theater fuckin cheers
Did your theater actually cheer?
Aside from my second viewing where somebody went "Oh Thank God" when Maria Hill went, nobody actually cheered the deaths. People were more gasping or going "oh no way!"
People really love this shit, man, I dunno what to tell you

I get this is a touchy subject, but I was asking a legit question. I wasn't trying to be incredulous.

Oh, no, but there was a palpable excitement as we were exiting the theater that felt every bit as much at odds with my grim discomfort as straight up glee would have.

I mean, I'll cop to being excited as I left the theater as i really liked the movie, but I'll agree that cheering at the specific bit mentioned is pretty crass, and kinda weird.
What is likely to be the big plot in Cates and Shaw's GotG got revealed in Thanos Legacy
Thanos has a will.
Starfox says it could burn the universe to the ground and describes it as "a war wrapped around his heart."
Literally, as he had to carve it out with a knife.
I don't think Thanos understands what Wills are for
That's not where it should go!
I hit Agree, but then I realized I don't actually know for sure how wills work. Like I know you go to a lawyer and they make one or whatever and then when you die it goes into effect but I've never done it and have no idea what the process is actually like. For all I know that's exactly it. Kinda makes sense, in a way
I wonder if Carol getting her Binary powers is going to be a Thing in the movie. Because going Binary would definitely help her wreck two different alien fleets at the same time.
So is the next community mission available yet? I don't even want to look at anything added to the store because the "dig up hex cores anywhere in the universe" thing never freaking worked for me and I didn't find a single one after I left the special planet.
Cosmic GR #3 was basically a giant, violent, Looney Tunes episode with Cable constantly ducking back and forward in time to bring in new weapons and allies to fight off Ghost Rider, getting comically older and more Apocalyptic Future-y with each jump.
Suit looks fine, but im sure hoping she adds the sash at some point. It really completes the look.
Im happy if they keep things mostly in space, i enjoy Space Carol way more than earth fascist Carol
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Hank Pym is still a wife beater decades later, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up
For real though, I’ll be waiting for her to take an anti-authoritariantotalitarian side in a major conflict before I consider that aspect of her character undone
First off, that's not what fascism is. Second, that was a terrible story that is two years old now, can we please put it in the rear view mirror.
Yeah, she was just totalitarian.
Not even that, no. Totalitarianism refers to a system of government that outlaws opposition and controls citizens' private lives. Nobody was locked up or punished because they disagreed with the pre-crime system.

My favorite thing about Carol is how Marvel realized that they had a marketable solo female superhero ready to go and then couldn't figure out a single interesting thing to do with her for the past decade or more

Fascism is going to reflect the culture it's expressed in. It isn't a tightly defined set of rules.
Chincy you're kinda being unnecessarily dickish here dude

Also, can someone tell me if in Captain America Hydra actually helped people, or whether the people just think Hydra helped? Because one of those is fucking awful?

I do think sticking to dictionary definitions of complicated and sometimes shifting political terms is part of the problem rather than a likely solution though
Fascism is going to reflect the culture it's expressed in. It isn't a tightly defined set of rules.
Cody's showdy has a good tutorial, I thought.
Fascism is defined by a few notable characteristics. Cody used the 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism, as described by Dr. Lawrence Britt. Of those, you could make an argument for #2 and #12 being shown in the events of Civil War II. I don't think any of the other defining characteristics are even semi-relevant.

Wait
I mean, outside of the recent Starlin stuff which Marvel just ignores most of the time.

Edit: Fencingsax had the word I was looking for
Some real dictatorial suppression of what people can say fascism is here.
Yeah, she was just totalitarian. NBD
hi
carol is a fascist in the recent comics
Not even that, no. Totalitarianism refers to a system of government that outlaws opposition and controls citizens' private lives. Nobody was locked up or punished because they disagreed with the pre-crime system.
Explain how.
Cody's showdy has a good tutorial, I thought.
no i think you understand how to work a dictionary on your own
fuck that
there is absolutely no reason to tell people not to use the word fascist about someone whos a fascist

Sets them apart from what robots
Please do not frame a pithy post telling someone to read a dictionary as a noble stand against fascism.
There's a joke here about DC movies , but I just woke up and can't connect the dots
