Captain Marvel: The MCU's First Failure?

I saw it today.
It was pretty good.

If I were to offer any rewrite suggestions, I would say that Jude Law's character and Ronan should have been combined into just one character. Tighten up the script a bit.

If you're being serious, then it's no wonder you like STD.

That's mean. Even for you.

I'm not one who enjoys puerile humor. I think you need to learn your juvenile traits behind once you hit 18, and boys need to stop giggling at farts and balls once they are of legal age. It reveals more about the filmmaker than it does anything else, because it says that's the level of intelligence he expects his audience to engage his films at.

Avengers Endgame tickets on sale.

My prediction is that Endgame will make like 3 billion dollars. The Avengers (2012) made like a 1 billion, Infinity War (2018) made like 2 billion, and this will make 3 billion.

Doubt it.

So on someone's 18th birthday, they're just supposed to stop by protocol?

Once you hit a certain age, you gotta start acting like it and be an adult, you know?

[Makeshift Python]

It’s almost as if the TRANSFORMERS films were primarily aimed at children...

It's not such a black and white thing. "You're a legal adult, therefore you should be past taking such lowbrow entertainment as something that you should be subjectively detached from."

Besides, there is a plot in Transformers 2. I didn't even think it was so bad. All that stuff you mentioned were more like questionable stereotyping and loudness of suggestive content. I'm literate to their problematic nature, but it's not as if their sole purpose is to actually generalise people so overtly. It gives accent to the caricatures through recognizable behaviors from the world.

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

That being said, the Transformers movies suck.
