Captain Marvel

Reader mode
So early reviews are out. Everyone is super happy who has seen it, and apparently there are 2 end credit scenes and a tribute to Stan Lee in the film.

I'm not sure if some of the viewers who saw the early screenings went just a bit too far in what they were allowed to say, but:

Supposedly something really bad and heartbreaking happens in one of the two credits scenes, something unexpected that changes everything going into Endgame. Also, the fact one of them says that "Thanos is f****d" means that she definitely survives the snap (though that was kind of obvious anyway, at least now it's 100% confirmed).

EDIT: The former of those is likely wrong given what else I've read recently.

Wandered in to this thread thinking it was about Shazam and wondered why it would have a tribute to Stan Lee, and then realized I was dumb.

Because they're redpilled? This kind of thing is just an expansion of the kind of coordinated mass flaggings you see on YouTube, imo.

I haven't seen any coordinated mass flaggings on Youtube, then again I mostly watch historical documentaries on Youtube in my spare time.

I'm betting these trolls are just right wing losers like those who got James Gunn fired by Disney last year.

Rotten Tomatoes Changes Audience Rating System - IGN

Rotten Tomatoes has made the change in response to troll's leaving bad reviews for the film online.

Why exactly are troll's doing this? This makes me mad as I'm looking forward to seeing the film, next week with my nephews.

They don't like women or minorities? Black Panther dealt with the same thing with mass review bombs (and a lot of overt racism) despite being extraordinarily well regarded in the real world. It's not just SJW critics loving it when it becomes Marvel's highest domestic gross ever. And not close for any other single character movie. Hell, it more than doubled up Guardians - and people found Guardians hilarious and saw it multiple times. $700 million domestic is an insane number.

Ironically, all the rating bombs and negative publicity are getting people even more interested.

It also achieves the exact opposite of what any otherwise-legitimate fanboys buying into this stuff want. Disney - who owns both Star Wars and Marvel - is not going to give in to "bigots." Disney summarily executed Roseanne's show even though that had real costs attached to it. Creative criticism being swamped in "we hate the female lead" or "why are there blacks in Star Wars" or "lol, Man-Ape indeed, 2/10!" just means Disney says "fuck all those people."

I'm pretty sure Disney mostly says, "it's bad for our brand."

Oh it is mostly about money. Although, don't underestimate how much diversity and a modern, don't have a hostile workplace mantra lead to corporates who naturally abhor this behavior.

"Defend brand" and "certainly don't or be perceived as giving in to shitheads" is mostly the same thing for Disney. They want four-quadrant, maximum demographic reach, merchandising into perpetuity entertainment.
