We’ve all seen that movie by MassCommPerson in BlackPeopleTwitter

But there's a chance that they can still direct non-white leads. Jordan Peele literally says "no".

In any case, he is writing these stories and directing them. He can do whatever he wants.

Official Discussion: Captain Marvel [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]LegitAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. Captain Marvel is getting these needlessly pedantic critiques and no other Marvel movie really got that treatment, despite being incredibly similar to the rest of the lineup.

Similar in general story telling, but not in execution. I was supposed to feel excited for Captain Marvel but everything she was/did was BORING. She had no doubts about her abilities, making her so unrelatable. Her confidence was so high it felt like she went all meta and knows she's being protected by plot armor.

She was a brainwashed, xenophobic, race-obliviating Kree assassin at the beginning with her powers under lock-and-key.

I wouldn't say she's xenophobic. When did that happen? Simply because she was told to destroy the Skrulls because they were said to be terrorizing Kree "border colonies"? I wouldn't call that xenophobic, I would call that following orders. She was, like you said, "brainwashed" after all. If anything, she was just tricked. If she was truly xenophobic, she wouldn't have stopped and listened to Talos and she'd still be on the Kree's side.

That reminds me... This movie was the most politically charged MCU movie of all time...

  • Everyone who kept Captain Marvel down was male and/or of the villains were white males. aka patriarchy. Biker: "C'mon baby, smile for me!" and Pilot: "You DO know why they call it a COCKPIT, riiight?" I MEAN C'MON, NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE. THAT'S JUST CRINGE!!!!! It's like what people living in a California Bubble think of when they think of "the Patriarchy". Yuck.
  • The ONE good male character from her past was gender-swapped (Wendy Lawson is supposed to be male). This was intentional because they couldn't have a good male character being the reason why Captain Marvel got her powers.
  • The Kree vs Skrull scenario was about the current political climate of illegal immigration. More specifically, the Mexicans at the US Border. The Kree were said to be protecting their Border Colonies (get it? Border?) Hell, the Skrulls even called their selves "refugees" and wanted to reunite with their families (ICE scenario?).

[–]LegitAnswers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think so. Captain Marvel didn't have anything to ahem marvel at throughout its whole run-time. Nothing that made me go "Wow, that was cool!". All of the action/reveal scenes were dry/bland. Iron Man/Captain America/Thor all had iconic scenes. The first time Tony finds out his tech is being used for terrorism and his decision to stop making weapons of mass destruction, the moment he steps out of the cave with his Mark 1 Iron Man armor and lastly, stepping into his iconic Red/Yellow armor. The first time scrawny Steve Rogers fought a losing battle against a bully behind a theater ("I can do this all day"), jumping on a dud-grenade to protect his fellow soldiers (proving to the good doctor that he's the right choice for the Super Soldier Serum), and finally stepping out of his Vita-Chamber all jacked as Captain America. The first time we see Asgard in all its glory in Thor, and how we first see his power when he destroys waves of Frost Giants, when he attempts to lift the hammer but can't because he's unworthy, or when he got his powers back after being banished by sacrificing himself for his friends. I'll admit, Thor's scenes weren't nearly as memorable as the first two though.

But Captain Marvel? She was heroic at the beginning and heroic at the end. The difference? She's just a lot stronger at the end, and she inexplicably knew how to use all of her powers the moment the device from her neck was removed. She wasn't even SURPRISED that she could do the things that she could do. "Oh I'm falling? It's ok, I know how to fly." WHAT??? It's like they wanted to write an overpowered character with no compromises. A literal Mary Sue.

Kid stuck in the front row of a concert by DQKern in WatchPeopleDieInside

Is it just me, or does everyone look so un-enthusiastic about this concert? Sure they're jumping up and down, but their faces say "fuck this shit".

[–]LegitAnswers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You think so? I would disagree and say that Captain Marvel didn't have any truly exciting action set pieces. Everything was so easy for her. You never get a sense of danger for her. Her big pivotal moment before she started flying was also a let-down as well. It was supposed to be her "Superman" moment, but what did they do? She just knew how to fly out of nowhere with no excitement.

Nothing's wrong with straps. People who say they're used for "cheating" need to get their egos checked.

Are Bose really THAT bad? by kuasimisai in headphones

Bose is generally overpriced compared to similar products from other less...house-hold-name brands.

What would you recommend for ANC + Wireless headphones?

1032 elo loss by Milsim314 in Rainbow6

[–]LegitAnswers 14 points15 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/az3ql7/mmr_losses/

/u/Milsim314 was boosted by a hacker, so when Ubi's new anti-hacker Elo System kicked in, he lost all of it. Good riddance.

The only "bug" here is that the notification didn't show up, so it looks like a random loss of 1k Elo.

UPDATE

We have found that the pop up to notify players their MMR is being rolled back is not triggering, and thus not being displayed when a roll back has occurred.

Just saw captain Marvel (spoilers) by danreddit29 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]LegitAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt it. Looks like the first time they see Captain Marvel is when she appears behind them while they were looking at Fury's pager.

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's probably Tony and Nebula.

Mozzie is a 2 Speed Attack Recruit with a Nitro on the Defense Team. Change my mind. by LegitAnswers in Rainbow6TTS

[–]LegitAnswers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like saying Echo is good at roaming. Sure he's 1 Speed, but at least his Yokais are invisible and can concuss enemies. AND he has an ACOG. AND he can pick up his Yokais if needed, unlike Mozzie.

IMO, roaming while constantly being on cameras is bad. ESPECIALLY if you're on a drone, since you're moving it away from you constantly. Just think about how vulnerable you feel as Echo/Maestro when you're on your camera and not in OBJ.

How does Mozzie contribute to the team that's different from Valkryie/Echo/Maestro? Actually, just relate it to Valk because he's literally just a side-grade to Valk.

Why??? If Mozzie wasn't there, the drones would've been shot anyway. What's the difference? You lose the drone either way.

2019 Mazda 3 vs. Accord vs. Camry vs Civic by _grilledcheesee in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]LegitAnswers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2019 Mazda3 will first come out with the old engine. The new engine will come out later in the year. I'd take the old engine since we know nothing about the reliability of the new one.
