Death to all capeshit

Exactly enough with that shit

Inshallah

The good news is by May everyone who was still watching has a convenient point to check out and maybe next year people will find a new blockbuster template to obsess over.

That's honestly what I'm planning on doing. May 2019, illness be done with capeshit and December 2019, I'll be done with Star Wars.

Yep, my friends will probably drag me to episode IX but if we go, it's out of a desire to watch the car crash than genuine interest.

Literally all the worst things put together, good find.

Wait Bohemian Rhapsody won best picture? Is this a joke lmao

Golden Globes, so yes it is a joke

oppression Olympics

And none of the nominees will make into the Oscar list except for maybe Beale street

Ay nigga dats da struggle aight? I wouldn't eggspect a whitboy like yew to undastand

borhaaaaaaap has a gay dude as the protagonist, who could have predicted this?

What good movies came out this year?

Hereditary is the best I can think of.

more like ryan coonler

Ebic gamer joke

Based Mustache Freddie btfos 'w*ke' capeshit even from the grave.

Looks like AIDS defeats African people once again

Bazinga!

Looks like people are going to have to admit how distinctly average Black Panther was.

They would hate that. The fact that it only got 3 GG nominations should've told them they were literally just throwing them a bone for ratings

all the capeshit stuff is average at best and terrible at worst. BP wasn't really distinctly better or worse than any of their other shit.

BP is just getting “recognition” because of the current political climate. I watched it on Netflix and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why retards on Reddit thought this was a cinema masterpiece

what do you think of the other marvel films?

I think they range from average to pretty good.

Ragnarok, Winter Soldier, & Spider-Man Homecoming were their bests imo

they're all kind of the same to me, tbh. you can clearly tell they set them up as two types of movie:

1: battle the big boss, with serious consequences and a bunch of stars (with premium quips, always)... see all the avengers ones akak this is the big one, all the chips are on the able yet again

2: plucky/fun side thing, with typically small stakes and a fun side character who is contractually obligated to quip on command.... see antman, ragnarok, etc

plus staple on some kind of tease (wtf ever happened to howard the duck??) after the credits to ensure the manchildren are frothing at the mouth to come back for the next one

It’s pretty jarring how they each differ in quality like the writing was spot on for Ragnarok but then Ant-Man and The Wasp comes out and it’s a total blandfest lmao

I think these movies in general are fun to go out with friends or take the kids to see but I think they’re just “average” super hero movies at best tbh

Also for the Howard the duck thing, Marvel Studios has a terrible habit of teasing their shit years before they actually do anything with the property. Fucking Thanos has been teased since the first Thor movie

I just feel like each movie only exists to set up the next one. hardly any of them do anything interesting or new.

from a money-making perspective, it's genius. but from a film-making perspective, it's dogshit.

Yeah but we KNEW going into it that they had a multi-movie, 3 stage plan for bringing Thanos in. I want my fucking "Howard The Duck" already!

Most people on reddit think it's overrated

Because a villain named Killmonger, whose goal was to take over the world using technology advantage as revenge for what the Jews I mean mayos did, is complex.

Killmonger wasn't complex he's a skin tone away from being a villain in captain planet or scooby do.

Black Hitler

But the Cinematography!

it's because they're fucking retards /thread

eh, it had unique visuals for the most part, and even some actual characters, which is way more than most of the genre can say for itself

still pretty boring though. Marveloid capeshit tropes and a dynasty drama? how am i supposed to care about that?

It had a couple of cringy jokes, but for the most part its one of the only Marvel movies that has control over its tone and doesn't break the drama with an awkward needlescratch every five minutes. I enjoyed it a little more than most capeshit for that reason alone.

But yeah, pretty boring. 85 on metacritic? lmao

It also looked atrocious by the standards of these movies and felt weirdly budget-constrained for such a massive blockbuster. Almost every scene was in 1 of 4 locations in Wakanda and the final fight was 50 people + bad CGI rhinos on a backlot.

The performances were the best aspect of that movie and even that really boils down to Killmonger since Black Panther looks constipated or tired for 95% of this movie. The massive amounts of hype over what is at best a thoroughly average capeshit movie really belies the fact that it's fandom is entirely political.

The original ironman before all the connected universe bullshit was pretty good imo.

Final act was kinda shit tho

Honestly super hero movies need to be like Logan. Gorey and no pg-13 shit. Start punching holes through people and I'll start watching again.

you do realize most superheroes are made for children right?

The comic industry tried your approach in the 90's and almost went out of business because they also forgot superheroes mostly appeal to children.

Avengers at best is average. Black panther was just hopelessly useless

it would be average, if the bar wasn’t so low

Why doesn't a black author just write an African themed fantasy? This movie clearly shows there's a huge market for it.

I might even see it

Honestly it might give fantasy the kind of kick in the ass the genre needs. Afro-fantasy could be fucking awesome with hyena-men and The Bush being something like 40k chaos.

I want my 40k fall of cadia movie already.

The effects would cost too much. It's like anime being created in live action, in that pretty much everything requires special effects.

Afro-fantasy is already a thing, but it hasn't seen big, mainstream success. That's mostly because it's a very niche market, and, to be frank, a lot of it isn't well-written. For every Wild Seed, there's five Malika, Warrior Queens.

I don't think it helps that a lot of the people writing afro-fantasy aren't actually African. They're largely African American, and don't have a strong connection to African spirituality and culture, and so end up writing romanticized, Westernized versions of African culture in their fantasy stories.

Like going back to Wild Seed, what makes it neat is that the author, despite being born and raised in America, did a lot of painstaking research to make the novel read and feel like it's rooted in African folklore. That's pretty rare in the genre, most of it is pretty clearly written by someone who has never been to Africa and has little to no experience with actual African tribal beliefs.

I was kinda sad that Wild Seed's sequels (Pattern Master and w/e the other one was called) really drifted away from the afro-fantasy angle. Not that they were bad, but they definitely didn't feel as unique.

It was enjoyable, but nothing special. The Killmonger dick sucking does annoy me though.

All capeshit is average, prove me wrong.

Imagine sitting through an awards show in hopes some shitty movie you like wins an award

unironically this on-top of your moving being some capeshit garbage

Could be worse. Just replace movie with video game.

They give awards to videogames? Theres a show?

I'm pretty sure this is at a video game award show

Because nothing says serious commentary on the human condition like Marvel movies.

But Black Panther had...Black people in it!

It was a good movie but, not best picture contender.

Eh...it was ok. I watched in theaters and wasn't blown away. I was surprised Disney was pushing so hard for awards. It seems...odd that BP was the film they chose to stump for.

I agree, it was a decent film. Though I wasn't aware Disney was campaigning for it.

Yea, they were putting out "for your consideration" for the oscars and stuff. It's insane.

It was thoroughly average even by capeshit standards and any awards nominations it gets is 100% virtue signaling, especially in the realm of visual effects.

Blade didnt get a GG nomination :(

Too much Wesley Snipes for the people at GG it would seem

Wakanda isn't real.

You take that back you racist fuck

no u.

Superman is real tho

um no sweaty

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakanda

Ahh! Ya got me! Good shit. lol.

yes it is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberia

my sides

What is it with black people and woke whites obsessing over this movie?

Says the mayo. OUT NAO!

the Mouse did an amazingly good job paying shills to spam it endlessly as the first black superhero for the woke crowd, and even got southern Baptists to drive their congregations to the movie under the guise of it being "empowering".

By the time everyone saw it and realized it was maybe 1-2 rungs above the Thor sequel in terms of quality they were too publicly invested to admit it and doubled down on it being a cinematic masterpiece.

yikes y’all this really confirms that the golden globes are a racist dogwhistle for alt-right white supremacists

imagine caring about this shit. absolutely cancer.

but it was the first movie to ever have black people in it! how can it not have won every single award?

non-deconstructionist capeshit should never be nominated for anything

Because its a pretty terrible movie

It was a pretty good summer blockbuster, not an awards contender.

I can't wait for awards shows to end, how can people even watch that garbage?

White people caused this.

Modern civilization, yes. Sorry about WWI, our bad.

>Sorry about WWI

Sl*vshits aren't white.

That's because it was a bad movie. Literally barely watchable. The only thing that made it acceptable was Martin Freeman, but Winston Duke was kinda funny too (notice that he has a mayo name, so he's one of us).

If we're gonna talk about how ungodly overrated Black Panther was we're gonna need to mention how Infinity War was not sad on any level.

Space man “killed” all my big franchise characters with planned sequels :::(((

Not to mention Thanos is a god-awful attempt at a pitty villain.

When the villan is a better actor than the supposed star your movie is going to suck dick.

I enjoyed Die Hard. And Wall Street. And The Matrix. And Schindler's List was a riot.

What the hell are you babbling about?

Villians are almost always cooler than the good guys.

Why can nobody spell "villain"?

Because we're retards and it's not a phase.

capeshit

winning awards

That's not this works

People are genuinely surprised that Black Panther didn't win any awards?

Black Panther isn't even the best black superhero film and that's hardly a contested fucking lineup.

The graphics are bad, the plot predictable, the action scenes are enjoyable and the last fight was utterly bullshit. The main villain is black hitler, his name is fucking killmonger, you'd have to be so dumb as to confuse 2 black men in their 20's with 1 white dude in his 40's to somehow see that as complex.

People aren't judging the movie based on it's quality, they are propping it up because they are retarded "woke" morons.

That what annoys me most black panther isn't woke. It praises fascism, it praises dictatorships

nah mate its woke because black science lady called bilbo baggins a colonizer, remember?

we need a black ethnostate!!!

oh wait we already have a lot of them. and they're all shitholes

Only way it had a chance was visual design, rest of the movie was meh

Bohemian Rhapsody wasn't even good. I guess you can make anything and name it "Bohemian Rhapsody" and people will cum their pants over it.

"My preferences weren't validated! Grrrrrrraawwrr!"
