Not actually part of the MCU but Into the Spiderverse is fantastic. I highly recommend it. It may be my new favorite marvel movie.

My kids went a saw it yesterday and loved it.

Did anyone see Captain Marvel over the weekend?   I really enjoyed the 90's grunge flashbacks.  It answered some questions and left some new ones  l don't want to type any possible spoilers.

Saw it, enjoyed it.

Give it a solid B+.

In my unofficial MCU tiers of moveis, I would put it solidly in the middle of the 2nd tier.

1st tier (in no order): Avengers I, Winter Soldier, Black Panther, GoG, Iron Man I, Civil War
2nd tier: Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Ragnarok, Homecoming, GoG2, Dr. Strange
3rd Tier: Ant Man, Ant Man II, Iron Man 3, CA 1st Avenger, Thor, Ultron
4th tier: Iron Man 2, Hulk, Thor 2

The biggest unanswered question for me is where was the tesseract from the 40's through the 80's?    How did Annette Benning's character come into possession of it?     The rest was just fun.     And I now like cats even less.

I may have to re-watch again as I saw a lot of theories on things seen in Mar-Vell's lab including a blue ring that looked like Howard Stark's model of an Arc Reactor that may answer some of the 40's through 80's question.

New trailer...

Ahhhhhh.... that's why they waited until now to release.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Go to Fandango and sign up for the alert when tickets go on sale.

1st tier (in no order): Avengers I, Winter Soldier, Black Panther, GoG, Iron Man I, Civil War
2nd tier: Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Ragnarok, Homecoming, GoG2, Dr. Strange
3rd Tier: Ant Man, Ant Man II, Iron Man 3, CA 1st Avenger, Thor, Ultron
4th tier: Iron Man 2, Hulk, Thor 2

In my opinion, I would put Ragnarok into the 1st tier because even though it was a bit to lengthy, it helped revive Thor. He was not being used the way that I would've liked him to be, but this movie showed off his true power and showed that he is more than his hammer, which I thought was awesome. Before seeing the movie, he ranked 3rd as my favorite avenger, but after seeing him go through everything that he did an then do ape in Ragnarok and Infinity War, it made him number 1.

Question: What happened to the girl warrior from Ragnarok, the one that was with Hulk?

Just saw Captain Marvel and just couldn't get into it. Didnt have much character development and just sort of jumped right in. The action was fun, and it had some cute moments but that's about it for me.

Out of curiosity, how many of the MCU movies have you seen?

And if "most" or "all" is the answer, did you feel the same way after Doctor Strange and Ant-Man (the only post-Phase I where a singular title/lead character is making his/her first appearance in the MCU)?

Captain Marvel has interestingly become my 16-year old daughter's favorite Marcel character.  Her and her friends went to go see it a second time over the weekend.

Every one, the mini movies and three of the netflix shows (jones, agents and daredevil)

I didn't care for Dr strange either to be honest. Ant-Man I loved, I feel like there's plenty of development amongst everyone in that. In Captain Marvel I just sort of found myself not really rooting for her, didn't have much suspense for me. Hey it's just an opinion though.

This is awesome. Guy never watched any MCU movies except Black Panther and is now watching them all and live tweeting it as he does. Great thread: https://twitter.com/chrismnovak/status/1111096414065569793?s=21

3 hours and 2 minute run time...that's not ideal.

Only took five hours, but secured two for Sat showing in some great seats

I was OOO this morning, got back to the office at 2:00 to a notification tix were on sale.  By that time, only decent seats available through the weekend was the Saturday 5:00 slot in 3D. 

So 3D it is, I guess.

FYI for future use, I go to Marcus exclusively so I have ticket notifications from Marcus and Fandango. Marcus came in about 4 hours before fandango. Got lucky and saw the Marcus email right away and got in to my theater showing first.

More of a commentary and movie going nowadays but nothing beats the $5 Tuesday movies and being able to pick my seats ahead of time has become such a game changer.

It's ideal for makers and sellers of catheters. I know I'll need one!

I guess I won't be able to return to this thread from April 26 until about May 26, because I won't be first in line (or among the first several thousand) and I won't want to hear the spoilers!
