I got bullied for liking Marvel as a kid. After this film, I can’t blame them 🤷🏼‍♂️

As an Indian, I am astounded at the Muslim Pakistani immigrant girl being named Kamala. Kamala is an inherently Hindu name, it is one of the names of our goddess. I have never once seen a single muslim girl called Kamala, and there's no reason why there should be one. That's like a Texan right-wing Christian patriotic white family calling their son Ahmed or Salman. Kamala means "like a lotus" in Sanskrit, btw, in case anyone appreciates random knowledge nuggets. Cheers! Edit: if I was a cynic, I would say Marvel was trying to attract both Indian and Pakistani demographics under the same "immigrant" consumer group, and failed spectacularly.

Surely this must have happened in the writers room at least once : - But wait, they're using their powers at the same time again, shouldn't they swap? - Hands up who wants to fire Steve.

that awkward moment when more people want to watch a 5 hour breakdown of a movie than want to watch the actual, shorter movie

As a woman i appreciate your piece condemning the practice of "this will be great becus muh gender". I'm beyond sick of being stained by association.

I think that the best compliment I can give to this channel is that I am more willing to spend twice the runtime of the film watching some person on the internet's opinion on a movie than the movie itself.

I find it delightful that Platoon was able to make a 5.5 hour review of a 90 minute film, because the movie was JUST. THAT. BAD.

Monica Rambo is an unstoppable force that just travels the MCU finding female characters that have committed unspeakable atrocities that have nothing to do with her and declaring that they are now forgiven and that their arc is complete. Meanwhile the people affected by said characters are denied any justice or closure.

Disney'll never understand what you sacrificed for them, Platoon. I salute you!

I think that if Sisyphus was offered the choice between rolling the boulder and watching "The Marvels", he'd walk up to Hades and tell him, "Yeah...can I have my boulder back?"

I'm a gay man and i cannot relate to 99% of gay characters i see on the screen. That's why i believe most gay characters are not written to be relatable but are just self insertions of the person writing them. I can't believe there are women out there that can watch The Marvels or She-Hulk and in any way, shape or form relate to those characters on any level. The Hollywood elites are completely out of touch with reality.

"No Rambeau you can't absorb that kind of power! It just tore a hole in spacetime!" "I'm not made of spacetime"

Secret Invasion: A man broke a promise to me when I was nine. He said they would look for a new planet for my species. So I get to genocide all humans and live on nuclear winter Earth. Also we kidnapped a million people, stole every thought from their minds, and somehow still live in slums. Marvels: so there is this Skrull colony on this non-Earth planet...

These writers have taken the boys' toys, forced the boys to play with the toys how the writers want them to, and are now discarding the toys in boredom because the boys no longer want to play. This is schoolyard tripe parading as serious media.

I guess the Mary Sue thing really got into the heads of the Disney execs and they said "if we turn Carol Danvers into a genocidal monster, no one will be able to call her a mary sue anymore." Which, fair. I guess I gotta give you props on that one, Disney.

The ideal of putting Carol in a zero sum scenario to give her a problem that her powers can't solve, is also laughable because she doesn't care. She doesn't have a moral compass and is completely cold towards pretty much everyone. Loss just rolls off her like water on a ducks back so I can't see the writers being able to give her an important decision that will make her actually care about something.

I could listen to Platoon eviscerate terrible TV and film for hours and never get bored.

Speaking of Wanda: "She almost took down Thanos on her own. Nobody else came close." "Oh, I'd say Captain Marvel came close." Was that fight televised? How does this mook even know who Captain Marvel is? Did he, then NOT see Captain Marvel get punched into space? Wouldn't you say that THOR came pretty close.

I also just realized, because of the Multiverse rules eatablished in MoM, Monica's presence in that universe should eventually destroy it... Who's willing to bet this will never be brought up?
