Yeah i mostly buy digital copies of films on the likes of ITunes these days.I stopped buying MCU movies after Endgame as that is where the franchise ends for me.
Man, that's scummy. Wouldn't expect anything less from the Mouse House. And piracy continues to be more and more justifiable as time goes on...
I watched about 40 minutes of Infinity War the film upto now is in IMAX so I am guessing the whole film is, I am a bit of an IMAX junky so would happily buy Special Edition Boxsets or whatever of these films. Not Captain Marvel though lol
What's wrong, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns? You weren't impressed by the stunning and brave and strong yet female Ms. Danvers? ;-)
I don't see the problem to be honest..? At least these IMAX versions are actually available to watch, not sure if we'll ever see the IMAX Skyfall again...
I don't mind Brie to be honest, I just thought it was too much of a retcon and not a particularly good one.
But Disney are only making the IMAX versions available on their streaming service,not on disc.That would be like WB only releasing IMAX-less versions of the likes of the Dark Knight Rises,Interstellar, or Tenet on disc.
Those Nolan blu-ray releases are terrible. The shifting aspect ratios constantly switching within scenes is so obnoxious that I actually prefer watching them on streaming as that’s the only way to watch them in 2.39 from start to finish.
I watched a bit of IRON MAN’s IMAX version and it’s the same deal. Switching aspect ratios within scenes. I’ll stick to watching my iTunes digital copy rather than Disney+.
As for the MCU films, I stopped collecting discs after DOCTOR STRANGE, even sold off the rest on eBay. I’m very OCD about completing collections of films, but I realized that the more movies they put out the less shelf space I have. I’m very picky about buying discs, so I decided I would just watch MCU streaming from them on.
@Fire_and_Ice_Returns, the movie certainly left me cold. Left the theater curious why I even bothered. They sort of suckered me by me thinking it would have more context to lead into Endgame.
Or like MGM only releasing the IMAX-less version of Skyfall on disc. Which is what's happened, and has happened with many other films too.
Unlike those, this is actually a release of the IMAX versions: you can watch them by paying to see them, much like buying a DVD. I don't get the problem.
Me also I even waited at the end of Infinity War in the Cinema to see the Fury scene when he used the pager to contact Captain Retcon, I was duped.
In Endgame I felt Captain Marvel took away the Hulk getting a win back v Thanos in the final battle and much of what she did ie destroying the ships, Thor should have done that.
I equate Captain Marvel to Hulk Hogan's title win at Wrestlemania 9, Brett Hart lost the title to Yokozuna then out of nowhere and having nothing to do with the fued Hulk Hogan turns up and challenges Yokozuna for the title and wins it in like a minute.
I thought it was rather good when she turned up and did that. I think if Thor had done it it would have been a bit of an anticlimax and we'd be wondering why he hadn't done it earlier.
I disagree I think Captain Marvel put characters that were more central to the story to one side, with Thors character arc during Endgame he should have got that moment rather than Captain Shoehorn.
If no-one but the main characters of that movie had been allowed to do anything in the final battle then it'd be a lot less fun. And bear in mind, unlike characters like Spidey or Star Lord, Marvel actually had been alive all the way through this film. I don't really get your issue with it.
Spiderman had a large role in the overall story as did Starlord they had huge roles in Part 1.
Captain Marvels characters redundancy was illustrated by the fact Endgame literally had nothing for her do do during most of the run time of the film, her presence was shoehorned in.
@mtm, the problem is that some of us, myself included, prefer tangible media rather than what's streamed. I'm not a fan of the all digital world we're turning down.
Neither of them were in Endgame though: Marvel was. She wasn't 'shoehorned': she turned up to help save the day, just like the rest of them.
It's like complaining about the films being available in the cinema though. You don't complain that you can't own it when they come out there.
It's available to watch: watch it if you want to, if you don't want to then don't.
I get that this isn't supposed to be a story or character driven movie, but the action scenes weren't compelling to me either.
Should I watch the other Avengers movies and give them a chance?
I guess we won’t be seeing Tom Holland as Spider-Man any time soon.
The problem with The Avengers 2012 is that it looks like a TV movie, cinematography wise. One thing that I notice now is that this is where Marvel Studios started really using the bad humor. As for recommendations, I would avoid the others, as you need to see the other movies. And Age of Ultron is more of the same thing as in Avengers 1, but with the dialogue being puns and one liners. Thanks a lot, Joss Whedon.
People like looking for more reasons to bitch about something they hate so they can feel even more justified.
Yes I am struggling to see the issue.
People: I want to see the IMAX verisons!
Disney: Here you go, you can watch them in your house here if you pay us
People: But I don't want to watch like that!!! I want to pay you so I can watch them in my house but from a different black box under my TV to that one!!!
I do agree that Disney is a slightly sinisterly large corporation, but that doesn't actually mean that everything they make and supply is terrible and cynical and evil. Internet folks like to describe everything they do in those terms and it's a bit childish. I saw someone saying that Indiana Jones' jacket having a slight change to the buckles was clearly Disney seeking to maximise profits from selling replicas (rather than any other logical explanation like the costume makers just happening to construct it marginally differently), and that kind of thing is just idiotic.
Doing things Disney's way limits the ways you can enjoy the content depending on your personal circumstance, which I find frustrating. The issue is that the people that make these decisions imagine everyone lives in a place like Silicon Valley and treat internet like everyone has the most optimal kind. There's a lot of people who would prefer owning a whole season or series on disc to watch at their leisure and at any time, no matter their internet connectivity, instead of having to watch the content only through a service that could go down at unscheduled times or have video that buffers to an annoying degree. Just popping in a disc eliminates all the hassle, and is content available at any time, without limit.
Maybe I'm just an old man, but I don't think that preference is crazy or ridiculous.
That's not a good example, in my opinion. You know that whatever movie you see in a theater will be available soon in that format in just a few month's time, whatever way you want it. What Disney is doing is withholding content behind a paywall to boost subscriptions, limiting the availability of that content. I'd much rather pay for a single disc release with the movie I want than pay the same or more in price every month to attempt to stream that content with all the disadvantages and tedium involved in it depending on your circumstances.
Try again.
I'm with you here. Relying on a constant, steady internet connections gives me anxiety. :)) And I'm living in a place where the internet is very stable and reliable!
As far as digital content goes, my preferred method is downloading it (I think you can do this when you rent from iTunes? It gives you the option of downloading the content so you can watch offline, if I'm not mistaken?).
To @mtm's point, though, at least Disney+ offers some way to watch the IMAX content at home; it's better than nothing, surely.
My apologies I misread a comment.
Seriously though, those IMAX versions are just gimmicks. Same just like Snyder’s 4:3 preference.
I can see why people would want the IMAX aspect ratio at home I suppose, but for me, don't really care.
It's not 'withholding content': they don't have to sell anything to you, it's not being withheld: you pay the money and you get to see it. It's a transaction for a service, not a right which is being taken away from you.
Yep.I didn’t bother seeing Captain Marvel at the cinema before Endgame because of Brie Larsons idiotic comments in the press and online “ I don’t CARE what a white forty year old thinks of A wrinkle in time! It wasn’t made for them! “.
Watching Endgame,she played no real part in the story other than bringing Stark home from space and joining in the final battle ( and participating in that cringe “ girl power ‘ moment during the final fight ).
I watched Captain Marvel later on Disney+ and fell asleep during it.
