@johnny_utah @lordofthegray No argument here that Stark is basically a villain (we've covered that a couple of times, actually). While Rogers is a hero, there are subtle issues with his origins that, as you say, do not hold the same water in a modern story. Sam Wilson is the perfect successor, however.

Despite being the quintessential MCU hero, the character of Captain America comes with troubling subtext that ruins the franchise's story. https://t.co/JvCxeGXrTk

@johnny_utah @lordofthegray True about pre-serum Rogers being a hero, but the example the serum sets is exactly why characters like Stark feel morally justified in hoarding their tech (i.e. their powers). As a result, there's an in-universe narrative of "worthiness" that causes massive problems.

Now (finally) watching: The Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition!

Those who've seen both, how does it compare with the theatrical cut?

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

It only took 28 years for Heat to make it off the watchlist! Turns out, it's pretty good...

in honor of 'Scooby Doo' turning 21 years old, here's a thread with all the adult jokes/deleted material that would've made the movie even better:

The combination of escape room and horror movie sounds like a slam dunk - but a predictable plot and wooden script hold it back. https://t.co/nS1nBT7OOU

Not too long ago, we rounded up some of the most awful movie taglines ever. It turns out that there's more - and they're all truly terrible. https://t.co/WPcrbCMZZq

Though The Last Jedi continues to face intense criticism from fans, it's actually secretly the best film of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. https://t.co/s0gWb7Ldno

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Let's Be Cops really is as simple as its title suggests. Still, could its brainless premise conceal any hidden depth and comedic potential? https://t.co/2HsFgQSotC

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Some movies actually come with terrible hidden messages, adding a layer of unfortunate or unintended subtext to otherwise harmless stories. https://t.co/hQFZJXsXld

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Somehow, the forgotten Kindergarten Cop sequel manages to be so stupid and insensitive that it's actually unfunny enough to feel insulting. https://t.co/rMz0TR6n6C

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

A Quiet Place Part II builds competently upon the success of the original, but it's lacking much of the heart and tension of its predecessor. https://t.co/Ujmcw53wiL

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Dropping subtle hints at upcoming story points is a thing of beauty, and it's something that all of the best foreshadowing does perfectly. https://t.co/p7PLnCQfNZ

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Despite excitement over a new Star Wars movie following Rey's future, the sequel is already doomed to fail by the franchise's past mistakes. https://t.co/UoQyuiUwgL

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Renfield may be a perfect mix of horror and comedy with more gleeful gore than you can shake a stake at - but does it have appropriate bite? https://t.co/He8laLuLFO

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

By using the dumbest plot twists imaginable, these movies made sure that they will forever stand out as memorable for all the wrong reasons. https://t.co/EtUPzz0fen

There are many qualities that make Batman such a popular superhero. However, one of his biggest strengths was actually a lie all along. https://t.co/77VuSGlbHX

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Honor Among Thieves adapts Dungeons & Dragons for the big screen, but also brings its fantasy to life with surprisingly solid comedic edge. https://t.co/tapDa4vtaQ

[Corner of Film @CornerofFilm]

Video game movies may not have the best reputation, but they aren't always terrible - some of them actually manage to be entirely watchable. https://t.co/5NLvGfa67x
