You know when you really get down to it. Captain Marvel isn't a good movie especially given the fact its literally just a remake of The Long Kiss Goodnight which also starred Samuel L. Jackson.

Ha ha! The fact the MCU stole the plot from a 90s film.

The Long Kiss Goodnight aka the original Captain Marvel and better version.

I mean, no, it was a good movie actually, and you're just wrong but okay.

 

[Rizen]

The closest analogue I can think of for Renamon is Lucario. Both legitimately very popular characters in their franchises despite coming after their franchise's respective peaks, and also both very popular with furries.

Can confirm. The biggest furry I knew was a Lucario player. No joke.

Wademan94 osby once I finish this episode of Star Trek I’ll set the roster down in its finality and then post it.

Look it up, you'd be surprised how much Captain Marvel mirrors The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Like you said, this will have an affect on the events of Quantumania. But now, I kind of see why Moebius was highly passionate with jet skis.
I know that we have yet to see Richard E. Grant's character as of yet and I have a feeling he is casted as probably one of the timekeepers.

I wonder if Mobius will get to ski one last time before his life ends…and since Kang’s lover/partner Ravonna is leading the TVA…**** gonna get crazy

Scrapped the idea, too many options on the DC side

do what DC does and add more Batman characters

You ever think about how the Switch is already 4 years old?

I also realized how much Sonic the Hedgehog heavily mirrors that of Howard the Duck (1986). It wouldn't surprise me if the director and writers took the plot from that film.

Not that it's a bad thing anyways because Sonic the Hedgehog was a good film.

The same with Legendary with the MonsterVerse regarding the Heisei Gamera Trilogy.

 

[Noipoi]

I thought Captain Marvel was a big fat okay.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Oh yeah, I went to Knott's Berry Farm with my sister the other day and decided to try a claw machine for the first time and won myself a little prize.

Maybe it was because I was sleep deprived but I legitimately popped off over this. I had way more fun with it then I should have.

I think his point is Captain Marvel is still a good movie even if it borrows plot elements from the 90s, which is likely intentional given how hard it goes with the 90s theme.

I would agree, the movie had really great characters, an inspiring message, catchy songs, and pretty decent humor/action. It was a blast to watch it at the theater with my mom (and the only MCU movie she was a vocal fan of). Helps that it addresses some topics that MCU doesn't usually touch, like individuals questioning authority.

And what's your actual point? That doesn't stop it from being a good movie. Joker ripping off Taxi Driver and King of Comedy while claiming "inspiration" didn't stop it from being a good movie either.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

needed more personality for Carol, but I’m sure The Marvels will fix that right up

thats just what all the Captain related series/movies love to focus on the most

Uhh....

 

[Metal Shop X]

I don't think something is automatically bad if it take alot of inspiration from 1 or mutliples medias.

I say it all depend at how the artist tweak/changes some details to make something new out of it. Using new characters to change up the story, making some characters pretty close to their inspiration, but putting in brand new setting that force them to act differently in places, etc..

It's really hard to be truly original these days, so remixing the now millions tropes we have those days until we find the jackpot can work well too imo.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

In honor of their friendship, there should be an episode of Star Trek: Picard where Jean-Luc gets stuck in a Holodeck that is running a Lord of the Rings simulation and he goes on an adventure with Gandalf, with Ian McKellen reprising his role.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Regardless Captain Marvel IMO is one of the MCU's worst films, you guys have the right to heavily disagree, I'm just in that minority.

Again taking from other films can work. As I mentioned Joker, Sonic the Hedgehog and the MonsterVerse films did that exactly.

 

[Noipoi]

Three of the best animated movies ever (Iron Giant, Lilo and Stitch and HTTYD) are very obviously inspired by E.T.

And they’re awesome

Alpha (2018) is also basically just How To Train Your Dragon but with a wolf! :D

I don’t get how you could call it that. Imo it’s just like every other marvel movie. Hype if your into the character, meh to everyone else.

 

[osby]

Uhh....

Hence, "usually".

I have some issues with how that movie kinda sweeps the morally dubious stuff SHIELD did under the rug by going "well, that was all HYDRA"
but that's a different story.

What I love about seals and sea lions is they're basically merdogs/merpups/water dogs. ^_^

You probably know this but Toothless' design was based off of Stitch's face being both franchises were done by the same creator (Films only of HTTYD which was based on a book series).

That's not true, the Age of Ultron was meh for everyone.

The amazing thing about Godzilla vs. Kong is it's a mishmash of the following.

-Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (Zod-Doomsday, King Ghidorah-Mechagodzilla)
-Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar (Hollow Earth subplot and gravitational anomalies)
-King Kong Escapes (Kong being brought to cold environment and being used to find energy source)
-King Kong vs. Godzilla 1962 (Title and battle between titular monsters)
-Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris (Godzilla going "rogue" subplot)
-Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 1974 (Mechagodzilla in the film and alien origin, Godzilla "teaming-up" with mammalian kaiju)

 

[Opossum]

The funniest thing about Age of Ultron in retrospect is that Whedon clearly expected Ragnarok to be much more angsty and somber than it actually was, based on Thor's vision.

Y'all know what happens when you assume...

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Marvel is hyping up something with Spider-Man and something called "SpiderManBeyond"

wonder what it's about

but nice news aside...here's some unfortunate and terrible

There was a problem fetching the tweet

he found a way to ruin his life for a bit...and definitely killed off any plans for a Drake & Josh reunion

That's not true, the Age of Ultron was meh for everyone.

actually...not anymore...now it's underrated thanks to the helpings of it extending out long-term storylines despite having to sacrifice Ultron

It wasn't a good movie imo but that's not the reason why.

 

[Rizen]

Speaking as an original content creator, creating something truly original is hard. Everything's been done to some extent. See the seven basic plots of literature. You're pretty much forced to borrow a little.

With that said, movies could definitely put more effort into being creative. There are so many remakes and just plain uninspired plots in cinema.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Dayum speaking of Marvel. Just two months away until Black Widow. Two years since the last MCU film thanks to COVID.

Wonder how it'll hold up. As I predicted before, I'm expecting a timewaster at best but only because of the repetitive Marvel formula and tone at this point.

Unironically, I would love to see a live action Toy Story, but only if they animate the toys using actual replicas/toy models of the characters and not CGI.

So like a live action/stop motion Toy Story.

I think there’s a fan video of someone doing that.
Other than the human/animal characters, it’s basically using the real life versions of the toys and having them act the scenes like Marionettes. I think they did at least the first film.

Do you guys think there will ever be a MCU movie or series that will be set between Infinity War and Endgame?

From what I had read from the social media reactions, its mostly been positive. Not sure if I am willing to go to a cinema to watch Black Widow and instead might consider getting it on Premier Access on Disney+.
