Look at who’s at the backseat!

I don't usually like tie-in ads, but that commercial had some cute moments!

Look at who’s at the backseat!

That's a great ad, for both Avengers and Audi.

This is kind of obsessive. Not sure I've ever watched a single film that much, especially in such a short timespan.

Without looking at the article, I'm impressed that Bob Iger watched that movie... that many times.

 

[kvz5]

That’s 9.5 full days of his life he’d never get back but hey as they say “you do you”.

You beat me to it!

Uh huh... Maybe for you. But for others we know that there was a 33 year gap between Supergirl as a feature film and Wonder Woman. Many find it heartening we are seeing these characters in the forefront in such a frequent manner and not in drips and drabs over the course of decades. In the age of super hero films being so big within the pop culture an the culture at large some actually care about showing that the super hero ideal belongs to everyone. This is no longer a novelty, no longer characters as merely background characters or love interests for male leads. I get it... You GOTTA be that guy. You just have to chime in on anything that reeks of "the multiculti/diversity agenda" for ****s and giggles. You do you. Others actually have good reasons to care, and applaud that four decades after Princess Leia there's a plethora of female characters taking prominence and shown to be the heroic equals of their male counterparts to inspire and thrill young and old alike. Sorry if that's lame. But then, I'm pretty confident you didn't bother to even watch a fan video made by someone that obviously loves super heroes and their worlds and wanted to put together a fun and inspiring tribute. Showing passion for the very thing this online community that you've chosen to take part in? SOOOOO LAAAAAAME.


PS: Before you or anyone else starts in... No. It's obviously not some misandrist piece of propaganda but then there are those that will willfully mistake anything that says great and accomplished women deserve the same respect and admiration that great men take for granted as some kind of conspiracy to create some fascist gynocracy. I feel sorry for people like that.

off the top of my head...

Alien, Terminator, Resident Evil, Halloween, The Hunger Games, Scream, Underworld, Twighlight, Kill Bill and let's sprinkle in that modest movie, frozen.
Tv - Buffy, Charlie's Angels, Wonderwoman, Cagney & Lacey, Golden Girls, Roseanne heck even Ru Pauls drag race has done wonders for women.
Gamer - Tomb Raider.

You see, everyone has an agenda and see's what they wanna see, but don't let that stop you.

In the new Spider-man Far From Home trailer, he actually says the name Captain Marvel. So somehow she got that nickname and now it's her hero name.

CM has a May 28th digital release and June 11th Blu-ray release:

In the new Spider-man Far From Home trailer, he actually says the name Captain Marvel. So somehow she got that nickname and now it's her hero name.

I've noticed recent CBM's seem less bothered to tell the audience how they got their superhero names as far as the public are concerned. I don't think Wonder Woman was ever named in her film, either. While Shazam certainly said his own name enough in order to transform, I don't recall anyone ever calling him that in-universe, and he was dubbed with plenty of other names in that movie. There's almost this meta-understanding that the audience already knows they're called that, and the people in the universe just started calling them that as well.

As for Carol, I like to think she started going by that name throughout the cosmos as an homage to both Mar-Vell and Fury, as she seemed rather charmed by his incorrect pronunciation of "Mar-Vell" (and his reasoning for it). And of course, her rank was Captain.

I suppose it's possible Fury refers to her as that at some point in Far From Home before that line occurs, and that's where Peter gets it from, but I doubt it.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I could also see it being a line that's used only for the trailer but will be something entirely different in the actual film. Marvel always seems to add lines for trailers and TV spots that wind up not being in the films.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

This is random, but Carol's final costume in Endgame is damn near perfect. Too bad it likely won't be used for her upcoming sequel.

 

[Thome216]

Yeah, if they are dealing with Ronin in the next one, then it'll be another period piece. But I'm okay with seeing her in the older suit, as I like them both equally well.

And hey, did we ever get an identity of the Avenger who has been a Skrull all along?

 

[flickchick85]

I didn't like the reversal of the the colors in her final costume, but I liked that she had the sash.

I like that it's more formfitting/streamlined. Either color scheme works for me, though.

On a related note, there's a new CM-centric TV spot from Endgame on this site.

I hadn't noticed it was more streamlined, but based on that TV-spot, it appears you are correct. That aspect does look better. Reverse the color scheme back and it would be perfect, imo.

Carol definitely looks better with a mainly blue suit. The one used in Endgame is a callback to Mar-vell's original red and blue suit from the comics.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Eh... this variant is still plenty blue, but to each their own.

Yeah, that's mainly why I don't like it as much, lol. I see that color scheme and think Mar-Vell, not Carol. It just feels wrong on Carol to me. Plus, it makes Carol's sash blue instead of red, and throughout the years and incarnations and many costume changes in the comics, that red sash is like the ONE thing that's mostly stuck around since her creation.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Purists!!

 

[flickchick85]

That said, I like how the blue on the legs there kinda mimics the look of her high Warbird boots.
