[Remus]

Yup. This was how people grew up before the teletubbies.

OY!

Err, what ?

Let me show you how I grew up as a kid, it may explain why I can't stand poorly written movies.

You can add star wars in that time frame, since it is around then that I first discovered the old trilogy.

Thank you, now I feel old !

In hindsight, one may say that Star Wars WAS made for kids, the kids born in the 80's that is.

He's more than 12 years old, easy .. and dresses, horribly. Where's his Nine Inch Nails shirt!? Honestly

Captain Marvel reacts to preppy Captain Marvel reaction video (and yes I did listen a minute or two) ...

Too much griping about feminism for me, I thought his review was bad.

 

[Remus]

Dang. You can't get a better source than that.

Yes, for the kids of the time maybe.

AS Maolagin kindly stated before

Ep. I - decidedly for kids, because Lucas had small ones by this point; but it turns out Lucas knows eff-all about kids' movies, so it turned out awful

Definitively not for today's kids then, since clearly he doesn't understands them.

 

[Stigbob]

12 years old's were the same then and now.

Dude, That is ad ominem.
Captain Marvel reacts to preppy Captain Marvel reaction video (and yes I did listen a minute or two)

Sneaking into films underage is practically part of the national curriculum.

lol. (It said 12A in my theatre) Anyway let's just say it's comic book.

Maybe ask this guy (politely) if he'd like to borrow the other guy's mint condition superman t-shirt. eep.

Heading in to its second weekend, Captain Marvel is an unmitigated financial success. Carol Danvers had the biggest March opening ever, the 2nd biggest worldwide opening for any superhero movie and the film has already passed the $500 million milestone

Captain Marvel obliterated the most optimistic forecasts, rocketing to $153 million domestically in its opening weekend. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) was an international hit as well. The movie earned $302 million overseas for a worldwide opening weekend of $455 million according to Deadline.

Captain Marvel’s opening weekend is extremely impressive — especially if viewed independently of Black Panther’s record-breaking box office. Captain Marvel’s debut easily eclipsed the domestic opening weekends for Marvel’s other solo superhero debuts like 2016’s Doctor Strange($85 million) and 2015’s Ant-Man($57 million). It also beat the ultra-successful team-up sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($146 million).

[h=2]Trolls brigaded Captain Marvel with a bad-faith boycott. Fans responded with 455 million reasons not to listen to them.

[/h]If you were Marvel, what would you do?
Pander to the alt-male Extenze-market crying?

Seriously now. I'm an average guy, but the insecurity they're pumping out must make me some kind of tripod compared to them. Never seen so much whangxiety in my life.

"Oh the movie will fail!" "Marvel will lose millions!" before it airs.

"Oh the Coorps must be buying tickets up!" when it does well.

Now we've reached "Oh the theatres are empty at 3 pm on Wednesday! Ignore the data! "

Ya, right. They have all the prophetic power of this guy:

If it makes a billion profit without the trolls, who needs them? Evidently, nobody's listening to them, and they aren't getting any dates either.

Interesting perspective:

Possibly I'll never know as delivering it in a depressed monotone made me stop listening.

Who isn't smiling enough now ?.

 

[Winterwalker]

IMDb give a weighted average vote 7.1 / 10.
Getting strongest score (8.2) from under 18 females, weakest with 30-44 yr males (6.9).

Of these I wonder which are more like to be; (1) a would be media critic with a branded vlogger setup and/or (2) youf (under 18 is also the strongest male demographic at 7.5)

Also saw a list I won't reprint that showed consistent good viewer ratings across conservative (with a small c, god fearin') leaning polls with Rotten Tomatoes sticking out as a more big C (right winger) hangout.

All showings today are sold out now. Just a few seats available tomorrow.

At this point, you seem to be the only one who cares ... even Youtubers don't care by now.

SPOILER

Supreme Intelligence is ABUSIVE to our girl, telling her she's over emotional and that will make her weak. I've seen people say "if only Brie Larson did show emotions here" and she does, later but not while Supreme Intelligence is undermining. The Kree are trying to retain control and have Vers is wound up tight.
