@mikeflarkin they tend to do that

2019-02-16 18:40:25 UTC  

They forgot Blade in an instant

2019-02-16 18:40:30 UTC  

If this was in the first few teasers I think less people would be irritated

2019-02-16 18:40:56 UTC  

Not to mention Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor...

2019-02-16 18:41:09 UTC  

Ok, I will be back

2019-02-16 18:41:24 UTC  

Yeah that too

2019-02-16 18:41:26 UTC  

It's liek

2019-02-16 18:41:32 UTC  

BLACK PANTEHR THE FIRST BLACK HERO

2019-02-16 18:41:38 UTC  

Blade, Steel, That shitty catwoman movie

2019-02-16 18:41:41 UTC  

off the top of my head

2019-02-16 18:41:47 UTC  

and in the MCU, Falcon and Rhodey

2019-02-16 18:42:02 UTC  

leia = one of the earliest disney princesses

2019-02-16 18:42:04 UTC  

Now what they *can* say is that it's the first Black hero movie who's actually *african* set in Africa

2019-02-16 18:42:12 UTC  

That's a valid milestone to claim

2019-02-16 18:42:22 UTC  

But that's not what they were all sayin

2019-02-16 18:42:47 UTC  

interesting, I dont remember a backlash when people didnt like catwoman... shows you how much everythings changed

2019-02-16 18:43:48 UTC  

Cause superhero movies weren't big at taht time

2019-02-16 18:43:54 UTC  

they had a big push with the Superman and Batman movies

2019-02-16 18:43:56 UTC  

then it went to shit

2019-02-16 18:43:59 UTC  

I don't remember people crying misogyny when everyone hated that shitty JLo movie Enough

2019-02-16 18:44:01 UTC  

and then it came back again with Iron Man

2019-02-16 18:44:15 UTC  

Honestly even 10+ years later

2019-02-16 18:44:21 UTC  

That first Iron Man is a solid movie

2019-02-16 18:44:28 UTC  

I think that's why they made this universe work honestly

2019-02-16 18:44:35 UTC  

They gave us a solid, three act movie, totally self-contained

2019-02-16 18:44:41 UTC  

with only a hint of sequels after the credits

2019-02-16 18:44:49 UTC  

and then they played it safe and self-contained for a few more films

2019-02-16 18:44:51 UTC  

The only thing I wish they went into move with Iron Man was Tony Stark's alcoholism

2019-02-16 18:44:52 UTC  

Id say the first spiderman remakes brought em back

2019-02-16 18:45:03 UTC  

that's true wack you win on that

2019-02-16 18:45:10 UTC  

and only when it became clear that they could make it work is that they started having fun with the MCU

2019-02-16 18:45:17 UTC  

cameo crossovers and stuff

2019-02-16 18:45:25 UTC  

mind you the one I watched as a kid was pretty cool

2019-02-16 18:45:33 UTC  

that's why the MCU fundimentally works better than the DCEU

2019-02-16 18:45:41 UTC  

the DCEU went into it trying to make an extended universe

2019-02-16 18:45:46 UTC  

cant remember if it was an 80's movie.. or earlier

2019-02-16 18:45:56 UTC  

the MCU started with a small handful of self-contained movies that were only tangentally connected by Coulson and Fury

2019-02-16 18:45:57 UTC  

I still think they fucked up Nick Fury

2019-02-16 18:46:00 UTC  

and THEN they did the teamup

2019-02-16 18:46:22 UTC  

Nick Fury is not a wisecracking kitten petting goofball

2019-02-16 18:46:24 UTC  

Yeah, MCU didn't start off with the idea of making a huge universe, which I think is part of why it worked. Everything was self contained, you could watch one movie without having to watch the others
