So, how many people are supposed to know Spider-Man's identity in this?

Everyone is looking at the huge ring in the sky to the right of the bus, he jumps out the left when no one is looking. 

I meant Dr. Strange, it seems like he's revealing his secret to a lot of the heroes.



Around the Network

I need some more Scarlet Witch action! Where's my "No more Mutants" moment? Trailer looks fun. Proxima Midnight looks disappointing. Gamora might get a lot of focus this movie.

One thing I noticed is that Spider-Man is hardly in the trailer.

He makes a couple appearances and of course the ending, but it's really crazy to see how far Marvel has come. Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Panther are now their premier characters.

Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man series really brought down the character.

He actually shows up a lot in the trailer for a new Avenger.

I'm sorry, say what you want about superhero movie or whatnot, but in my book, Avengers are the definition of action movie.

This is not a Netflix show where nothing happens, but fight non stop. And from this trailer, A3 seems to step up on the others.

Offtopic : Lately, I've seen two totally over-the-top, non-stop no-fucks-given action movies : 'Hardcore Henry' and 'White House Down'

Pure 13 year old boy trash.
Please come back and save comic book movies Christopher Nolan....

Don't worry, some day you will grow up and understand that movies can be fun instead of just relentlessly dour and 'realistic'. When that day comes, we'll gladly be here for you, welcoming you as one of us with open arms. 

You know, one of us. Someone who isn't an edgy teen who thinks that happiness is for posers. 

As for me, totally just got my tickets for opening weekend. Well, thursday night. Pre-opening show. Gonna be a laaaate night. 10:45 PM, 2 hours and what, 37 minutes? 

He's not entirely wrong, though. The MCU is basically consists of silly, lighthearted movies who rely mostly on special effects and foreshadowing to attract its target audience: mostly children and teenagers. It's basically the same thing Star Wars did in the late 70s and early 80s, though I'd give George Lucas the advantage of coming up with the story on his own instead of mining comic books for plotlines, and successfully using archetypes to give it that timeless appeal instead of being bound or influenced by market analysis comitees.

That's not to say those qualities makes those movies necessarily bad; on the contrary, I think they can be a positive force, since it's good to have something fun and idealistic on cynical times such as ours, like The Hobbit did on the 40s, and Star Wars just after the Nixon era and during the Cold War.

Your assertion of every other more realistic and thoughtful movies as "dour", though, showcase you are in mostly for cheap and quick rewards with the flashy stuff of those movies, so ironically maybe the lack of "growing up" is on you instead, since those traits are commonly associated with the incomplete neurological development of children and teenagers.

Wait, are you honestly trying to say that me not liking 'dour' movies means i'm 'only in it for the cheap thrills'? I mean, what a reductive thing to say. 

I prefer Marvel over DC because Marvel tends to not only do the silly and fun, but also touch on very mature themes with respect. Batman v Superman tried to talk about accountability  in war time, but Civil War did it much better. The Dark Knight Rises tried to talk about politics and wealth disparity and did it reasonably well, but that movie wasn't fun at all. The winter Soldier had a lot to say about politics, and it was still fun. Iron Man had a lot to say about weapons manufacturing and war profiteering, and that was still fun. 

You (and Loy310) seem to be treating this as though you can't have both. Like, a movie can't be serious if it's also fun. Like, you either have to be goofy or dramatic. Believe it or not, you can have both, and I happen to like a movie that balances both. 

Movies like Batman V Superman were poorly done, lacked any sense of fun, and came across as dour. The Dark Knight Rises was devoid of anything fun (almost three hour of movie, I don't think I smiled once). I don't go to the movies to be bored, I go to the movies to enjoy myself. It's escapist fantasy. 

Does that mean I hate serious movies? Hell no. I watch war movies, I watch indy darlings, I watch all sorts of movies, but a movie has to have something to appeal to me. it has to be fun, or it has to make me think, or it has to make me feel emotion. Christopher nolan's movies don't do that, in fact his running theme across all his movies seems to be that technical mastery is  important and that emotions are bad. I liked some of his movies (Batman Begins, Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and sort of Inception), but I've hated some of his movies too due to how little investment I have. Interstellar I've seen twice, I understand the science, but it's still boring. dunkirk is the most masterfully filmed war movie ever and I nearly left the theater no less than half a dozen times due to how little I cared. The Dark Knight rises, as I said before, has virtually no joy in it and I didn't smile once. 

It's incredibly disrespectful to see people like you automatically assume that just because I like movies that make me smile, that it also means I don't like movies that make me think or feel. It's sad to think that there are people out there that assume that just because something is palatable for a 13 year old boy that it doesn't also touch on themes and elements for adults. 

It's that sort of reductive reasoning that reminds me how little I respect most people. it's very hard to respect someone who has no perspective.
