There are good EPs in seasons 3-5 but they're all weak as fuck as a whole.
Julie Taylor WOAT, her storylines were always crazy annoying/weak while Landry got thrown in the bushes smh
Hahahahah that would be great.

sitting in a theater, waiting for Gone Girl to start.
GAF has dispatched assassins to kill you where you sit for being on the phone in the movie theater.
My friend was next to me watching Breakfast Club with T.I. on, and then I saw it in the Antman thread.
Had no clue :lol.
I loved it.

Either you tripping off some bad ecstasy or you might need to get some freon added to your AC. Happened to me about a month ago,
I wish Key and Peele could buy the rights to their old characters.

I dunno, Cyborg is pretty fucked. Regular folks have no idea about this guy. Black Panther brings a lot to the table.

"Does Black Panther signal the beginning of a terrifying new white-hating regime in Hollywood?"
White people are scared of a disease that is in less than .00001 of africa. Imagine they see a first world nation that tells the USA to suck eggs, we can do it better.

I bet they fix Captain Americas shield off screen, and will just have Tony Stark drop a line about knowing where to get the stuff to fix it.
Cyborg will have been in three movies by the time his comes out. He'll be fine.
The entire concept of Black Panther is going to be repellent to mainstream audiences. I wonder how they intend to market it.

You're in for some shit.
Why can't none of these young dudes fuck people up like old men like Keanu, Washington, and Neesons?
I disagree completely. The concept of GOTG was a massive hit to mainstream audiences. How is a super bad ass black dude going to turn them off when a humanoid tree and talking raccoon didn't? The attitude towards a BP movie is so self defeating and I think that is stupid. BP has been featured in multiple games and cartoons and the idea that you can't make a movie about him because it will scare white people is stupid. If it is a Marvel movie, it will make money. BP is a bad mother fucker. Get a bad mother fucker to play him. Give it the same hype all the other movies get. It will be a success. The mainstream audience for a Marvel movie is EVERYONE.
I'm over this idea that GOTG was this super out there concept. Rocket and Groot are aliens. Audiences get aliens. Talking dogs, birds, trees, robots, bugs, toys, fucking toasters. Audiences will roll with that shit.
You know what audiences don't seem to roll with nowadays? Black folk. Or at least, movie studios don't think so. Sure, Black Panther been in things, but never in something focused entirely on him that has the same reach as a summer blockbuster.
Do I think the movie is destined to fail? No. I can't predict the future so I don't try to. But I do think it's going to be a tough sell to those "I can't relate" types that struggle or flat out refuse to engage with anything starring a person of color.
Face it Tiger..

Seriously. GoTG was a pretty safe movie imo, the only thing not safe is that the source wasn't as popular as the other marvel movie sources but that doesn't really matter in hollywood. It still starred a white guy that can pull people in, had that marvel level of humor, and yeah audiences get aliens.
GOTG not only is a weird concept, but is a property that I would wager more than 95% of people going to see the movie had never heard of and never read a single book of. There is no way that Black Panther is a harder sell than Guardians. Movie studios don't think audiences will roll with black folk. Until that black folk is in a big time Marvel movie. Black Panther is not a hard concept and the idea that people won't go to it because it is about a black guy is silly, in my opinion. Maybe some indie black super hero. But a Marvel Studios black super hero is money. It's not a hard concept and there are a lot more than just white people going to these movies.
