And now set to release in “fuck you, it’s February”. When stinkers get thrown out to die.
Comment on ‘Captain America: Brave New World' bombs at test screening

I failed to see what the point of this (and the TV series that set it up) was and it seems like their isn’t one.
With the development hell and such bad word of mouth this far out, it is lining up to be their biggest box office bomb so far.

I’ll from now on say Fuck you February when referring to movie releases.
“When’s Subpar Superhero: The Search for More Money coming out?”
“It’s set to release in Fuck you February”

All credit to Red Letter Media for coining Fuck you, it’s February.

(and the TV series that set it up)
And here’s my problem with everything Disney is splooging out these days; the interconnectedness has very rapidly gone from being a fun feature to an obnoxious ask on our time.
The last season of The Mandalorian actively annoyed me when I realised that a bunch of the action between it and the previous season had taken place during the Boba Fett show. I didn’t bother with that because it looked dull, meaning I had to go away and find out what I’d missed.
You watch any of the movies now and there’s some element of them that you’ll miss if you haven’t watched a selection of attached series and three previous movies.
Mate, I’m not doing fucking homework just so I can give you ten more hours of my life.

The point really is “it’s another movie”. Same point of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark World. Having these types of movies makes sense. “Good guy fights bad guy!” isn’t a bad comic book movie premise, and I think sometimes people assume superhero films have to be bigger than that to be good.

I liked the series, but mostly because of Bucky and more backstory for Zemos.
Captain A is a hard character to play or write because he is so one dimensional - he is good, no what ifs or buts. Chrias Evan did a great job, but you also need a good villain that carries the story. And without great writers, its hard to make something fun and entertaining.

More Zemo, please - he was the best thing in it and it’s criminal t here’s a Thunderbolts film without him in it.

I hope he’s in it as a surprise character

Me too.
I’m hoping that The Sentry is the main threat and that the Black-ops Avengers realise they are massively outclassed (as really on Hulk or Thor could go toe-to-to with him) and they have to get sneaky to bring him down. Now that would require some kind of mastermind and I wonder where they could find one…?
