1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Captain Marvel

[subzro]

IN MY OPINION BP was mediocre to fairly decent at best. 7/10. Not even the top 5 MCU movie. I understand if some people are “moved” by the nearly all black cast, but that doesn’t make it a masterpiece of a movie still. Call a spade a spade. The Oscar nomination for best picture is a joke.

"hysteric identity politicians"

Cmon if anybody bought in to that, the movie wouldn't have succeeded where it did.

I admit BP didn't really blow me away either (mostly because I just didn't find his superhero powers all that unique or interesting to watch), but clearly the movie had a huge emotional impact on people because of what it represents, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Just because it didn't have that same effect on me doesn't mean I feel the need to minimize it as being just some "PC woke nonsense".

Why am I reading black panther movie critiques in a Captain Marvel figure thread?...

What you think of the movie, I don’t fk’ing care. I’m here for Hot Toys Captain Marvel.

O rly?
So you are saying that someone posting on the internet ... can only post their own opinion? What a surprise.

You do realize this is a racial slur, right? ESPECIALLY in the context of the conversation we're having??????

So, is this thread going to be merged with the CM movie thread soon (or maybe the BP movie thread)? It seems talking about the Captain Marvel action figure has been abandoned...

IMO some like to make their opinion sound like fact...........IMO

Huh? Are you kidding me?

Getting back on topic...so the CM figure looks pretty good, amiright?! I do think the likeness can be improved based on the early photoshops right after the full reveal. However, I like the way it has turned out so far. I’m in for the deluxe. I also agree with others that we probably won’t see an Endgame release since the movies are so close together.

Someone brought the Titanic wins, and while that movie is not my cup of tea either, it is at least lacking any pretentiousness of social commentary.

Your kidding right? Titanic was RIFE with social commentary! It was a film about class structure of society and the reality that poor people face in the society of riches. Most people who died on Titanic were lower class!

They literally showed a rich girl jump classes and get shot at for it! They showed poor people behind bars drowning while rich people complained about the crowding of the rescue boats with different class people.....

I was cautiously optimistic based on promo photos; the videos from Secret Base look even better -- knee-pads on the suit don't look awkward as I feel they do in some promo photos, sculpt looks better...but there remains the nagging worry that drop-off from prototype sculpt to production item will be greater than usual, as many of us are not thrilled with the production sculpt of Black Panther.

Realistically, I'll probably pick this up at some point, but haven't been moved to pre-order at this point.

Whoop, whoop! I remember that!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_a_spade_a_spade

Read the history section specifically.

"The phrase predates the use of the word "spade" as an ethnic slur against African Americans,[9] which was not recorded until 1928; however, in contemporary U.S. society, the idiom is often avoided due to potential confusion with the slur.[16]"

Sounds like stupid "contemporary U.S. society".

Yes, you are absolutely right! I haven't seen it in more than 15 years probably.

I'm really worried about the boots and the armored head. Hoping they reconsider and do a two piece head/neck and two piece boot. Some of those promo pics she has flat feet in flying poses...please HT, just don't, don't go backwards.

I think I saw on Justin's YouTube channel that she *does* have 2-piece boots, which is a good selling point. Agreed on the head/neck issue.

While I love the look of the toy I can't help but feel this is something I can pick up upon release if the inevitable Avengers Endgame one doesn't look as good. I figure she'll have the same costume so it'll come down to which one has the cooler accessories. Still, this toy looks so cool, just gotta hold off for now.

 

[DCFett]

Awesome! Time for a good ole fashioned neck campaign!

I doubt they'll make an Endgame Captain Marvel. Reason why is that we didn't get a Civil War Spider-Man.
