You're a girl? Never mind...
It's funny, that line felt very fake and cheesy to me, but I actually liked it, it seemed like something Steve Rogers would say, but that's because he doesn't feel like a real person to me at all, so it works. I think the dialogue and character interactions are actually the strong points of the X films, Erik and Charles arguing on the plane was more engaging than most of the action in these superhero movies.
As that now famous article puts it:
"politically offensive as well as aesthetically offensive. She can’t have babies. She’s sad because she can’t have babies. There you go! Depth established! I mean, it’s disgusting. Defining your female character’s motivation solely around the Betty Crocker axis of “wants boyfriend” and “wants babies” is 100% disgusting."
Guys quit hating on the tornado! Once again Mr. Kent sacrificed himself to hide his adopted sons secret. His love for his family was important to him and wanted his son to live a normal life . Plus he wanted to save the family dog which I would have done myself . It was a beautiful moment of love for life!!!
On the whole marvel characters are more fun to see on the screen the dialogue is fun and interesting. DC characters are plain by comparison. I guess that's why villains and the Joker particularly and such big characters in the DC movies because their actions are unpredictable.
`I'll admit that I understand some of the complaints about Widow - and no, I'm not sending threats to Whedon. That's an extreme few. I've always been a fan of Joss and what he usually does with female characters and he's told good romance stories in his work before this. I recognize what he was going for, but I think the execution of the Widow/Banner relationship was very poor, and the farm scene was very much a case of intention = / execution. I remember sitting in the theater during my first showing, watching that scene and thinking "this is gonna go over like a lead balloon". That's what it did with me.
The execution of the romance in general was terrible - there was no build up to their attraction, he tried to make it an angsty/tragic romance and they'd barely gone past the flirting stage. And Natasha Romanoff does not work in a Buffy/Angel style romance. He wanted a Beauty for Beauty and the Beast, but Nat isn't a good fit.
I also think Scarlett and Mark do not have that kind of chemistry. And chemistry is important, because sometimes if the chemistry is strong enough, it allows viewers to engage in the couple, even if it's rushed/ill developed.
I was disappointed in the storyline for Widow, minus the flashback nightmare Scarlett Witch made her see. I think the Russo brothers have shown they're the best with the character so far - they enhanced her vulnerability in a way that made sense for the character. I also think they could have penned a more fitting romance story for her.

At the end of the day these are just movies about COMIC BOOKS. It's not Shakespeare. There's not deep philosophical meaning in any of this stuff, and for those that find hidden evils or ulterior motives somewhere you've just been putting waaaaaay more time into these movies than you should. I crack on Man of Steel because Snyder took a movie about a man in a funny red sheet so seriously I couldn't enjoy it. Like the Joker said, "Why so serious?"

I don't think the Joker in TDK just did things, that's just what he told Dent, but he also told Dent that he had nothing to do with Rachel's death, and that was a lie too. He's a liar and a manipulator. The final battle between Bats and Joker in TDK wasn't just a physical fight, although they were also fighting. People always focus on the Joker, but Ras Al Ghul in Begins was also an interesting villain.
See, in a just world you'd have done those things on your own.
1 billion.......wow, should've made 2 billion. Such a fail.
It was just executed wrong. I only saw it once so maybe my memory of it is bad, but I think Mr. Kent could've gotten away from that tornado the way they filmed it. If he couldn't walk, he could've crawled or something.
1 billion.......wow, should've made 2 billion. Such a fail.
**** the whole lot of them. Stupid *******s.
I feel better now.
The same way Widow is turned on by her fear of the Hulk, sometimes I just want a good slapping to put my ass in place
Wait... you're a girl too? Ms. Cilantropants?
He died saving a dog.
