Come anticipate CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR with me

Might have been! Maybe the surprise was just that he ended up in the trailer.

Haven't they confirmed, like, 50 superheroes for Infinity War? How many are we up to so far, across the various films?

#teamantman

hey they've animated spidey's eyes

these trailers should start with the sound of a bucket of toys being dumped out

This movie is totally going to end with Thanos watching earth in his little whatever, laughing, and saying something like "what a bunch of fools, let them fight while my evil plan finally comes together!"

or spiderman eating a gyro with thor

willie lumpkin sharing a caesar salad with misty knight

I still haven't seen Ant Man.

You wouldn't.

ha.

Ant Man is... pretty good?

hoping for Michael Peña cameo in Ant Man scenes

Yeah, I'm sure they'll probably try to squeeze him in. He was a hit.

he'll be going to town on a mezze platter with aunt may in a post-credits sequence

Thanks for the new DN.

haha yr welcome

comes across as more of a euphemism in your DN and o my god i'm gonna be sick

given how old spidey sounds here, i'm guessing aunt may will be played by... brie larson?

Marisa Tomei. Yes, seriously.

The Spidey costume looks too smooth compared to the rest.

Surely you meant to say "Academy Award Winning Actress Marisa Tomei".

i would go to town on her messy platter

jesus christ does every one of these movies have to pose some sort of huge existential threat to humanity?

kinda how superheroes work, tho hoping for this one to be more internal-facing instead of NYC getting whack-a-moled again

not really, why can't it be like a guy in a big mouse costume threatening to rob the first municipal bank?

Spidey looks like Japanese Spider Man

Better than Turkish Spider-Man...

The three Iron Man movies and Ant-Man didn't have existential threats to humanity, just some corrupt arms dealers. Neither did Guardians of the Galaxy, technically, though I guess existential threat to another planet than Earth isn't really that different?

the norton hulk movie didn't either.

Nor did the first Thor movie.

So, "every one of these movies" = 5 of the 12 movies released so far.

Still, a failure to heed the wise words of Nigel Kneale:

"I didn't want to go on repeating because Professor Quatermass had already saved the world from ultimate destruction three times, and that seemed to me to be quite enough."

Constant threat escalation has been probably the main narrative problem in Marvel's comics for the past decade or so. It's hard to maintain a range of tones when you're always all BLACK BLACK BLACKER EVEN BLACKER NOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. I'm hoping that Secret Wars has lanced that boil for a while and that Infinity War will do likewise for the MCU. I assume that most of the individual character movies in the ramp-up will feature fewer world-demolishing threats.

afaict from the trailers there's no existential threat to humanity in this very picture right here. it's about ~friendship~ man.

I was going to say that this movie appears to be about the fallout of living through escalating existential threats to humanity rather being about a threat in and of itself but it seemed like everyone involved was really enjoying the conversation

^^^^

surely DC's guilty of this too?

who is doing spidey's voice there?

xpost Yes, DC is definitely guilty of that, too, but I'd argue that their main narrative problem is not knowing what the fuck they're doing.

Spidey's voice is presumably Tom Holland, no?

151 minutes

that's a lot of civil war

I am assured _____ ____ appears as an actual villain

I'm going to be sorely disappointed if they don't manage to sneak in at least one instance of Cap accusing Stark of feeding the rich while he buries the poor, or Hawkeye exclaiming, "Ain't that fresh."

Yeah, I read about _____ ____. Wish I hadn't. I just need to stop reading the nerd press altogether.

I'm glad there might be another act not spoiled by the trailers, at least

right you are about holland

I love how Thor just fucks off once in a while. He's like Superman with no real affinity for earth and a home planet to return to.

he's fond of midgard but let's be real, there's more important shit sometimes

or Hawkeye exclaiming, "Ain't that fresh."

What's so civil about war, anyway?

i didn't love it but it's still fine. i don't really get why tony and steve *have* to fight at the end, it's all too idiot plot

but iron man 2 is still the only flat-out bad marvel movie, i think.

Dr Strange. Awful.

Didn't think winter soldier was any better than avg for marvel tho

xps no the REAL Civil War was the friends we made along the way

Winter Soldier was basically Marvel's Bourne movie.

But better because CAPTAIN AMERICA

^^^

deal, I'll watch it again this weekend

russo era marvel makes it obvious that punching is the only way to solve any problem.

(punching was also the solution in the whedon era, but he managed to hide it well.)
