Title: Anyone See Black Widow Yet?
Post by: SGOS on July 10, 2021, 08:07:01 AM
I will go, but I'm not in a rush.  Audience reviews are good, but the one star reviews are all in agreement about why the film fails.  The good reviews just seem like Marvel fan boys hyping their own predetermined enthusiasm.  At one time, I thought Marvel was going to save the movie industry, because they found a connection to viewers that Hollywood had lost.  I still think that was true, but toward the end, Marvel seemed to missing it's mark.  They were still the most important thing happening in the film industry, but feeding on momentum, rather than creativity.  Buy, yeah, I'm going, because... because... why?  Because it's Marvel, I guess.

Saw it last night.  So much kevlar and PVC.

While it wasn't a game-changer like Doctor Strange or Infinity War, it was a solid action flick and gave Black Widow some much-needed fleshing out.  This movie is a long time coming - it should've come out before Avengers, imho.

Also, some of the plot may be difficult to parse if you haven't seen Avengers Civil War or Endgame.  There's even a small part that tied into Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which surprised me.

Don't forget what the standard of super hero movies was before the MCU. I mean, it's not that there weren't any good super hero movies before, but...they weren't as good, and they were highly inconsistent in quality. If a Black Widow movie came out in the mid-2000's, it would have been a boring, low budget movie no one believed would work. Even now, while Marvel movies have set a new standard, we still get movies like...

Yuck.

The MCU was also the first to implement a huge expanding movie universe, built up for over a decade, with different super hero characters each getting their own movies before coming together at the end of a wave. Many have since attempted to do the same, and have failed. Usually because they lack the patience to do it properly. Looking at you, DC!

The problem now, though is not with the quality of super hero movies, but with the concentration of them. Jesus Christ. Marvel releases enough of their own projects to keep one satisfied, but now everybody wants a piece of that pie. Movies with original concepts and stories barely get any attention, while movies relying on nostalgia to bait in viewers rake in tons of money. So it's kind of a double edged sword. Marvel has started a trend. One which doesn't appear to be dying anytime soon.

But no. I haven't seen Black Widow yet. Before Covid, I used to go with friends. Now I'd probably end up going by myself, and that just doesn't feel the same. Maybe I can coordinate my schedule with my brother, but my sister and brother-in-law are always busy. I've heard the movie is good, but the timing of it seems odd. If you've seen End Game, you know why I say that. I've never really found her to be the most interesting of characters, so the idea of a movie centered around her never excited me. Apparently, the people in charge of the MCU felt the same way, since she was one of the two members of the original Avengers lineup to not get her own movie before. Well, three if you count The Hulk, since they basically replaced him, and the Hulk movie doesn't seem relevant to any other movie, so its canonicity is questionable. But yeah. I'm mixed on this. I'll see it at some point, but I'm not in a hurry to run and see it.

They ARE inconsistent.  Joker was one of the most fascinating films of last year.  Maybe the most fascinating, including all of what Marvel did, but totally out of character for DC to put out such a brilliant piece of work.  Of course, this is just opinion.  What I liked about it was that Shazam was that DC wasn't trying so hard to be taken seriously.  It was just screwy fun.

Considering the fact that Black Widow died, her origin story seems more like an afterthought.  Even years ago, there were a whole bunch of characters that just appeared out of nowhere when the Avengers came along.  I remember being bothered by these unannounced members of the team, and they all felt like secondary characters after that.  How about Hawkeye?  Doesn't he need an origin story?  Probably not.  Like Black Widow, he was not that interesting of a character either, but some back story would have helped a lot.  The Red Witch was the one exception to the format for me.  I always thought she could have been used more, because her powers were forces to be reckoned with and unique.  While she was not given an origin story, at least her origins were explained back during Captain America, so in my psyche, I could accept her presence easier.

Then along comes Captain Marvel with a beautiful origin story, and sets a new bar for super powers, but she's hardly seen again, except that in the last 10 minutes of Infinity Wars she appears out of nowhere, and turns the tide of the battle.  She actually replaced Dr. Strange as the most interesting character in my mind, and then she's gone again.  OK, I understand she may be part of Phase 2, but Brie Larson won't be there to play the part (so I've heard, but PLEASE tell me I'm wrong), and I think she was critical to the development of that character.

Yeah, that was kinda bad.  I think it's because the writers made the mistake of making her too powerful, so they couldn't use her in other stories because she could almost effortlessly solve those conflicts.  So they could only cram her in Endgame along with almost every other character in the MCU.

QuoteShe actually replaced Dr. Strange as the most interesting character in my mind, and then she's gone again.
Eh...I don't think it was interest in her exactly, but in the Kree/Skrull cosmic side of Marvel finally getting fleshed out.  There are some hella interesting characters and conflicts that got rolling because of the Captain Marvel movie, esp Secret Invasion.

I wondered about his before, but hadn't thought it all the way through.  There would have been zero tension in Infinity Wars if she was there from the start.  The only purpose of the other characters was only to figure out time travel and "get the band back together," a fun plot line to be sure, but even that would have been useless without Captain Marvel to avoid just another replay of End Game.

However, one of the most exciting things for me in that last movie was to see her brief appearance at the beginning where she doesn't even flinch with Thor's attempt to intimidate her, thereby winning him over.  But then I almost forgot about her until the end where it looked like the Avengers were going to suffer one more humiliating defeat, and she appears just in the nick of time smashing space ships and artillery before she puts an end to the nonsense on the ground.  When she appeared at the end, I almost felt like I got a call from the doctor telling me I didn't have cancer.  OK, slight exaggeration, but you get the point.

I like the way Marvel capitalizes on Titans.  Not sure why Titans are not gods.  Thor is a god, and in my idiosyncratic hierarchy, Thor by himself should be able to stop any Titan in his tracks, no matter how many stones the Titan has.  Oh well, I don't really need to understand it all. 

I'm going to see Black Widow at noon today.  I'm doing the 3D.  From what I've heard the XScreen format sounds even more gimmicky and may even be a distraction.  The idea behind XScreen is sound, but they are doing it on the cheap, kind of like today's Imax on the cheap.  Maybe I'll check it out, but not today.

I think the reason Black Widow went after Hawkeye had less to do with who he was going after and more to do with what he was doing to them. He became an assassin, killing bad guys without mercy.

And when she tracked him down, she was pretty casual and relaxed.  He didn't even know she was there until she was practically in touch range.  She's clearly way above him in terms of power levels, even though they're both non-supes.

I enjoyed watching Florence Pugh after seeing her in ‘Midsommar’.  I'm not into most horror, but that movie spooked me psychologically and gave me bad dreams.  Black Widow was OK, but not one of Marvel's finest, and it still seems mostly irrelevant to me at this time.  It was also a repeat of several recent women gone deadly spy plots, with some Marvel magic thrown in.

I was having the same thoughts while I was watching it.  The worst horror is the kind that sticks closer to home, and includes things that could happen.  Put a monster with four arms and big teeth in the scene, and it includes an element of absurdity, almost humor.  But real people doing hideous things to others can actually happen.  The use of drug tripping in Midsommar added a psychological element, because I always wondering if the characters were just tripping or this was actually happening.  And it causes us to relate to the horror on a personal level, because probably many of us know how hard it can be to discern actual reality while on a bad trip.

In Greek mythology, the Titans are the original pantheon of gods before the Olympic gods overthrew them and took over.  Titans are formidable, even compared to the power of a (Olympian) god.

In Marvel comics, Titans are just Eternals/Deviants who lived on Titan (Thanos is their sole Deviant, iirc).  Marvel power hierarchy is kinda complicated (https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_super/2/27620/3093153-5524754984-marve.png) but here's the super simplified version:   A few ludicrously powerful beings (One Above All, The Grand Tribunal, etc) > Abstracts (Eternity, Infinity) > Celestials (that armored giant leveling the planet in Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill's dad in the sequel)) > Eternals/Deviants (Thanos) > Asgardians (Thor, Loki) > normal humans

And yes, the Infinity Stones make a HUGE difference.  They're sometimes viewed as mere powerups or very powerful tools, which is incorrect.  They're the fundamental foundation of the universe, and the universe changes to match the stones.  By possessing even one stone, you are directly tapping into a fundamental aspect of reality and can do anything within its sphere.  Imagine being blind your whole life (everyone is born blind) and suddenly being able to see with perfect clarity, even over large distances.  You could look at the moon and see the flag on its surface, look at dim galaxies and see their individual stars.  That rush of information, of insight - that's what it's like to wield just one infinity stone.  Possessing all of them would basically break a normal person from the revelation, but if they adjusted (the experience alone is life-altering), they'd be right up there with The Living Tribunal.

In Greek mythology, the original god was the earth. The sky, her husband, came from...somewhere. He rained his jizz on the earth, giving birth to the Titans. One of those Titans, the time god, cuts the sky's balls off and becomes the head god himself. But the weavers of fate predicted that the time god's son would do the same to him that he did to his own father, so he ate all of his children. But he actually didn't, because the time god's wife actually gave him a stone instead of the child. So the stone child grows up and rips the time god to pieces, spreading out the parts so the time god would never be whole again. And because the stone god killed time, he's basically set for eternity now. He spends his free time fucking literally everybody except for his wife.

Nah, that's not quite right.  But that's a real character from the comics.  Sort of a Commie Iron Man, who eventually defects and periodically helps Iron Man fight Titanium Man, who is a much more brutish and ruthless Commie Iron Man.

One thing I really enjoyed in Black Widow was the two sisters making a mockery of how you're supposed to look when you land on the ground after jumping from the top of a building.  The first time I saw a superhero do this, I thought it was quite dramatic, but then every one of them had to do it, and now I want to scream at them and warn them that they're going to pull a muscle in their groin, and end up out of commission for a few weeks.

And don't get me started on superheroes watching over the city from the edge of some tall building.  Marvel is not above overusing such a cliche', but I'll give them credit for also making fun of their own nonsense at times.
