Captain Marvel

This is exactly what I thought when the first trailer for Wonder Woman was released. There are few parts of the editing and effects that aren't polished until the release of the movie itself.

It's about who's getting hit than who's doing the hitting. You're failing to ask why it's acceptable for Captain Marvel to hit an old lady on a bus. Is it because Captain Marvel is a woman? If Wonder Woman or Black Widow hit an old woman on a bus in a trailer, we'd be like- WTF?! I'd say that elder-abuse is just as unacceptable today as male brutality! It's because we know the old woman's a skrull that it's acceptable. The studio knows that fans are well-informed now and made the bold choice to put that in the trailer ... and I think that's marvel-lous.

I never asked that question because I already reached the exact same conclusion that you did because the trailer implies it so god-damn heavily. I'm just not sure why you brought Hateful Eight into it because there's no "hero hitting evil creature in disguise" involved - it's quite literally a man beating up a woman and, as I noted, he's not a hero.

This is the comic book movie I'm looking forward to the least. Ever.

Considering what other comic book movies are coming out these days, that's a bold take.

Considering how much I hate Brie Larson's face, not bold at all.

Check out that Dark Phoenix trailer.

I didn't feel any sympathy for Daisy, and I don't think we were meant to.

Which only underlines how you can't compare the situations.

I don't feel sympathy for the skrull Captain Marvel is hitting either.

100% more cat.

Still meh on this. I think it will open around Ant-Man & Wasp / Dr. Strange numbers.

I think somewhere in the middle of these and BP

If you're referring to Black Panther, that is a really wide margin there pal.

Tbh i cant actually remember the opening numbers

OK, forgot BP was astronomically high
It'll be triple digits anyways

I like this trailer more than the last.

Of course it'll be big, I mean, considering Captain Marvel was called into action by Fury because of the outcome of Infinity War, people are gonna be stoked enough to see where this one is going as a lead-up to Avengers 4.
