        After I had Logan I decided not to reread it for a while. Sure it would read even scarier, now. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 09:36

- to be fair, they did kind of just start the show. - groiny Feb 7, 08:52

- Ya know - when he starts to get weak, he powers himself up by... - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:38
- My Miltank is my only perfect IV Pokemon (not that I care about this much) and I love her swingin’ those tig ol’ biddies. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 08:34
groiny: Iron Man 1 is still a huge movie moment for me. - MDH Feb 7, 08:32 1
- I agree with you on this at least. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:34
I just met someone named Isaias and wasn’t that pleased with my /r/UnexpectedFalco. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 08:25 2

        lol - no. But those were good times. -- nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:51
You want to know the worst part of Infinity War? oblique mentioned it. Chris Pratt. There is no movie if his character has 1 brain cell. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 08:13 29
- There'd be another reason Thanos wins without Starlord being there. But - Reagen Feb 7, 08:19 26
  - HOnestly, I'm not sure I get the "hot-head" from him as much as I get the idiot con artist. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Feb 7, 09:13
  - Also it's thematically consistent for the MCU - Max Feb 7, 09:09 1
    - (The real Marvel Martha Moment) -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 09:12
  - He's Space Rocky Balboa. -- nm - Max Feb 7, 09:04
  - this, and not only was he upset that his love died, but also that he promised her that he would not let Thanos get her - groiny Feb 7, 08:22 1
    - Exactly. Some like MDH might call it the Marvel Martha Moment, but with any understanding of the character it actually makes sense. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:24
  - Yup. He has not got where he is by using his head, at all. Always gut, always heart. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:21 2
    - Thinks with his gut, love/hate relationship with co-workers, obsessed with 70s/80s pop - he's Marvel's Rob Gordon. -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 08:39 1
      - His gut's got shit for brains, for sure. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:47
  - I'm on board with this. Still not a fan of that one piece of the movie. I feel like they could have done it another way... - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:20 16
    - "this character didn't act perfectly rationally to their best long term interests!" != a plot hole - Reagen Feb 7, 08:28 15
      - I get that...but for me as someone who'd never heard of Starlord before the first movie...I'm not sure I got that from the GotG flicks. nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:40 13
        
        Uhm, did you see GotG? spoils - Spawn Feb 7, 08:45 7
        
        Apparently I need to watch it again. To be fair - it has been a while. But... - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:53 6
        
        I actually get angry with how bad Thor 2 is. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:59 4
        
        A lot of it is quite good. - Spawn Feb 7, 09:13 3
        
        they needed to scrap that shit storyline, and go Warriors 3. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 09:17 2
        
        Well, yeah. But honestly, Thor ruins much. His story line in Ultron was the weakest part, as well. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 09:20 1
        
        it is hard when you are a god. -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 09:21
        
        The opening scene of GotG tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Quill. - Spawn Feb 7, 08:57
        
        well, I never read a Guardians comic, but consider.... spoils I guess.... - groiny Feb 7, 08:44 4
        
        Also... - Roger More Feb 7, 08:55
        
        And the arch of both GotG movies was all about spoil - Spawn Feb 7, 08:47 2
        
        Ok - THAT I got. :) -- nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:48 1
        
        The GotG are clearly the MOST *self-centered* of any in the MCU. - Spawn Feb 7, 08:56
      - come on, you know damn well that people always make right decisions!!!! -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:29
- Damned emotions! -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:18
- Yup.i wonder if he redeems himself in End Game -- nm - Amoxy Feb 7, 08:17
I....err....what? -- (link) - ty97 Feb 7, 08:06 6
- He's just THAT good of an actor, Michelle. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:36
- The comment "Black History Month: Day 7" is so terribly accurate. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 08:14 1
  - and this -- (link) - ty97 Feb 7, 08:25
- You have to forgive her, she hasn't recovered fully from the punches she took for Girlfight. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:13 2
  - She has always been a bit of a nutter -- nm - Epiphany Feb 7, 08:26 1
    - Dying in every movie does that to you. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 08:30
"PMO pressed justice minister to abandon prosecution of SNC-Lavalin" -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:04 13
- Finally, NWBR may have his white whale. If this is true, it's utterly damning. - Mop Feb 7, 08:43 6
  - On replying to the *real* IM, I'm not sure yet. I think it is Gerald Butts, the PM's right hand man in the most trouble. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 09:16
  - My bad. -- nm* - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:46 4
    - Am I downplaying it? -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 09:09 3
      - I'm sorry. I misread your IM and mistook your intent based on previous snarks. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 09:14 2
        
        *high five* Mop and NWBR, taking down the rich white man patriarchy, together! -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 09:17 1
        
        Trudeau has denied the report. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 09:21
- This is interesting because said Justice Minister was surprised and not pleased to have been demoted in last month's cabinet shuffle. -- (link*) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:06 5
  - And considering she was the highest-ranking Indigenous minister, many First Nations groups were unhappy with the switch. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:11 4
    - SNC-Lavalin has a record of corruption. A former CEO plead guilty to bribery. Last week. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:16 3
      - The PMO also has fingerprints over the goofy "leaking" case against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman's, former #2 in the Cdn military. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:20 2
        
        Somebody who thinks that the Canadian justice system could be politically interfered with is watching. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:21 1
        
        [Fin.] -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 08:22
For me, I'm usually checking if I'm gonna hit my head. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:04 1
- I like to do it for different reasons. With doorways it's usually to see if I can reach it without jumping. - Krusty Feb 7, 08:16
Hug your daughter -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 08:01 4
- As often as I can. -- nm - 45 si Feb 7, 08:03 3
  - *perks up* awwwww -- nm - Tiffany Trump Feb 7, 08:43 1
    - *grabs ass* -- nm - 45 si Feb 7, 08:43
  - *weeps* -- nm - Tif Feb 7, 08:18
There was a particularly good Trunk of Funk in Craig Charles Show last week (the whole show is great and always puts me in a good mood) -- (link) - LMS Feb 7, 08:00
I mean, Marvel/Disney has built a cross franchise group of characters that people enjoy and enables them to use some story telling short cuts - Reagen Feb 7, 07:58 34
- No, but they burned some of the goodwill with IW. - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:12 31
  - 85% at RT with a 91% audience score - that sounds pretty good. -- nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:17 18
    - Do I need to spell out that I mean me? Or is that concept too hard to be grasped in a this sea of GFBism? - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:22 15
      - "They burned some goodwill" - that's what I was responding to. Or did you not mean goodwill with the audience? nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:32 1
        
        I know I only look like a string of letters in a screen, but I'm also the audience. They burned some with me. Ergo. - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:34
      - no, but MDH says below that the general audience did not like it - groiny Feb 7, 08:23 12
        
        Take it to MDH. - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:25 11
        
        so the RT score is not accurate? - groiny Feb 7, 08:27 10
        
        Are we really using an internet audience score as proof? I mean fanboys swing these things in seconds. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 08:30 7
        
        i -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 08:33 2
        
        I'd use the box office - and IW was leggier than other recent Marvel movies, though not quite as much as Black Panther (spoils, I guess) - Roger More Feb 7, 08:36 1
        
        that is just the fanboys seeing it 500 times!!! -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:37
        
        well, what metric are you using when you say the "general audience did not like it"? -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:31 3
        
        The normal everyday movie goer. Non Marvel fanboys. The theater I was in reacted so poorly to the movie for example. - MDH Feb 7, 08:33 2
        
        That's 'cause it was an uppity DC cityfolk theater - decline Feb 7, 08:57
        
        I have 4 people in my house, 3 of them are "normal movie goers" and they all loved it. - groiny Feb 7, 08:50
        
        It is accurate, as much as those things are. It's also not 100% (or 100%n minus me and MDH). - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:29 1
        
        This IM. I hate seeing a movie that I don't end up liking. No one wants that. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 08:30
    - silly Jim, the general audience HATED IT!!!!! -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:20 1
      - Well - 9% of them, I guess. :) -- nm - Usnavi Feb 7, 08:20
  - My understanding and I haven't seen yet Aquaman kind of rebuilt the house - eag Feb 7, 08:15 5
    - I seem to be the weird one that thinks it's better than Black Panther, so what do I know? (NM) - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:27 4
      - *head tilt* -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:28 3
        
        I said this many times, actually. - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:31 2
        
        I mean, I liked Aquaman well enough, but my concern going in, ended up being one of my main issues with it - groiny Feb 7, 08:33 1
        
        Yeah. - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:37
  - LOL - groiny Feb 7, 08:13 5
    - They really did. You just don't see it or want to admit it. Look I'm not hating you like Marvel. The fact it brings so much joy to you is great - MDH Feb 7, 08:16 3
      - RT disagrees. The MCU universe changes, and that is good. Otherwise we would have more people complaining that "all the movies are the same". -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:20
      - I can fully admit that not every Marvel movie hits. I am critical of 2 of the Iron Mans, and Thor 2, and Guardians 2. - groiny Feb 7, 08:19 1
        
        And those are the same movies that are kind of low on my list too -- nm - eag Feb 7, 08:22
    - LOL - Marlowe Feb 7, 08:14
- DC had Justice League out there without origin movies for the current generation of JL superheroes -- nm - budice Feb 7, 08:02
- if you consider that with IW, they had multiple directors collaborating on the movie, to get their individual stories to mesh..... -- (edited) - groiny Feb 7, 08:00
