Re: I'M ALIVE!!! :D Part 26 - Steve

You can rant :)

I remember Sam Wilson, yeah. Mostly I remember him as the guy Captain USA met while jogging xd.

  • "No self-respecting Black man would wear their (America's) symbol".

I fully support that. It's not my place to criticize any Black Americans for how they feel about the country that kidnapped them and kills them on regular basis. I do understand that this also home. But that is definitely how I feel, and I'm not even Black. Or American. Respect to the writers for having the courage to bring that up. It sounds like they dismissed it as part of their "happy ending" and that the guy's ultimate character arc is "I forgive you, white people" - which, uh... questionable. Especially in a movie made by white Americans for other white Americans, that feels very self-serving. But I'm speculating, maybe it's nothing like that.

  • It avoids the psychological complexities of human trafficking by using comicbooks science.

But that's the interesting part!! It's to be expected from a Marvel movie, yeah, but that's why I don't watch Marvel movies anymore, and forgot the ones I did see practically in their entirety. They always seem like there's just nothing behind them, just a bunch of Ubermenshen in colorful capes flying around to "save the world" and very predictably winning every time whith no effort. I know there's a bit more to it, but, still.

Spy plots are something I've been looking for recently, so I'll keep this one in mind. And yeah, from the sound of the it - when well done, it could be a really good movie.

GotG were definitely the most memorable one! I guess introducing talking racoons will ensure that. But you could easily see that the movie doesn't take itself seriously - which did well for them - and gave some hilarious lines. "Why is..." felt like generational lingo for a while. Not so much anymore, and I'm sad to see it go.

Deadpool being vulgar and "politically incorrect" is dissppointing. You'd think script writers. And while the vulgar part can be up to taste, "politically incorrect" is a euphemism. That's not something Im willing to accept anymore.



Thanks for the rant! Genuinely.
