‘Captain Marvel’ never quite takes flight

“Captain Marvel” isn’t a bad movie, exactly. It seems, at this point, that Marvel’s moviemaking machinery is incapable of producing a genuinely terrible film. There’s no “Batman v.

‘Captain Marvel’ throws back to the ’90s with optical illusion posters designed to make you hate yourself

TwitterFacebook

The Captain Marvel marketing team is back on the nostalgia hype train with the release of five “Magic Eye” posters. 

These 3D optical illusions were first made popular through the Magic Eye book series known to pretty much any ’90s kid with a library card, and now continue to haunt those of us who could never see their hidden secrets in the first place.

Eminem is also mad about Netflix cancelling Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’

TwitterFacebook

Although not entirely unexpected, Netflix’s cancellation of Marvel’s The Punisher and Jessica Jones has struck some nerves.

Particularly not pleased about The Punisher being cut was Eminem, who wrote a caps-only tweet admonishing the streaming giant for its decision.

Although, credit to Eminem, he was still polite enough to end his tweet with a “sincerely.”

DEAR @NETFLIX,

REGARDING YOUR CANCELLATION OF THE PUNISHER, YOU ARE BLOWING IT!!

SINCERELY,
MARSHALL

‘Captain Marvel’ first reactions: A fun, ’90s adventure with a brilliant Carol Danvers

TwitterFacebook

You may believe the hype.

The much-anticipated Captain Marvel had its premiere on Tuesday night, and the first audiences to watch the film have described it as unlike any other MCU film they’ve seen before, and weirder than you’d expect.

The main take away? Well, as Mashable’s Angie Han put it…

#CaptainMarvel: Well, Thanos is fucked.

— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) February 20, 2019

Other critics and viewers thought there was a strong, nostalgic ’90s feel to the film, and yep, you bet it’s going to be a lot of fun.

#CaptainMarvel has a great ‘90s sci-fi vibe w/ a tone unlike any other Marvel movie, really. It’s retro & trippy, mysterious & dorky. It’s funny in surprising places & badass in all the right places. It remains entertaining because it’s always changing. It’s got the right stuff pic.twitter.com/o7AvqYY63x
