That scene made me laugh inside ... remember the chatter when the first pictures released of her were in the blue/green outfit? Can you imagine if the first images were of that rainbow Tron outfit!?

I liked it a lot actually. Maybe I had lower expectations due to some reviews I’ve watched, but overall I found it really entertaining. The 90s references worked for me. They were there but not annoyingly so and I felt like they fit. Good soundtrack too.

I thought Brie was pretty good in the leading role and don’t entirely understand the complaints about her performance. She worked as the out of place character trying to figure herself out in my opinion.

The de-aging technology on Jackson and Gregg was amazingly well done. Crazy how good they looked.

The Stan Lee opening montage was great and also liked his cameo in the film with him reading the Mallrats script.

Also kinda liked how this film didn’t necessarily have a big bad villain. Yeah, it’s got villains but we didn’t get the typical final epic battle. What we got worked and was a nice change of pace.

The only minor complaints to me were the explanation of how Fury lost his eye. Just a bit silly in my opinion. I liked Goose but that was just kind of a lame reveal. Also felt like they should have saved the mystery of who she was and had that reveal to the audience at the same time she figures it out instead of before.

Overall I’d like to see it again and will add it to my collection when it’s available. As far as the complaints about it feeling like an early MCU film and not up to par with what they’re doing lately, that actually wasn’t a complaint for me as I like a lot of the earlier films as well truthfully.

I really, really hope they don’t go there. I do not want to see them opening up that can of worms, where they start getting into this multiverse shit, using time travel to rewrite the MCU’s history, or any other shenanigans like that.

You can hope ... but do you have any other ideas on how this is going to go down? (I don’t disagree, but I’m resolved to that unavoidable conclusion.)

These guys are probably my favorite film reviewers out there. At least in video form. I agree with a lot of what they said even though I liked it more than they did. I also feel like they gave Brie some fair criticism in regards to her comments that caused some “controversy” around this film. Basically just she could have stated what she said in a different way, and giving examples of recent films that were fairly reviewed by middle aged white men where they weren’t the target demographic.

The one thing I’ll say watching more reviews is that a lot of them kind of point out plot holes or kind of “huh?” moments that this film creates. What was SHIELD doing between the events of this film and Iron Man since there’s like a thirteen year gap, how did the Tesseract wind up with Mar-Vell, Steve Rogers kinda being retconned as the first Avenger, etc.

That’s would be cool. I’d also almost be interested in seeing more of young Fury. Almost to the point I feel like he could carry a film (he carried half of this movie really if you ask me). I’m curious what he and SHIELD did for the time between this film and the events of Phase I. We’re things just quiet all that time and he was biding his time or what?
