That’s called exposition, and when it’s obvious it’s being done it can be really bad.
Incidentally, I was just reading book 2 of a trilogy and rather than try to casually mention the events of book 1 here and there as a reminder—which a lot of books do—the prologue was a complete summary of book 1 written as a holy book from 1000 years in the future. It was a really cool way of doing it. Book 1 had chapter intros from the same future holy book, too, but have it as a big infodump was a great reminder of the story.
After seeing Dr. Strange and not understanding the entire movie engine because I don’t have Disney+ I stopped watching MCU movies. I’d love to go see this movie now that I know it’s out but why spend time and money watching actors in front of a green screen doing things I don’t understand because I didn’t watch multiple TV shows?
I feel like Disney already knew and was expecting this. The original Captain Marvel wasn’t very well received, and they seem to understand now that not everyone wants to consume every piece of MCU media all the time with the new “Spotlight” tag. I expect it’ll get a fast turnaround onto streaming.
I haven't gone to see any movies for a while now. The effort to go to a theatre and all that just feels not worth it. I'd rather wait for the films to be available on something I can watch at home.
This is literally the first I’d heard of the movie. If it’s anything like the other marvel movies, it’ll be overwhelmingly OK (not terrible, not great).
I want to see it, been looking forward to it, and will when it comes out for home viewing. But if already basically stopped going to theaters before the pandemic except for the biggest films, and the pandemic killed off the last interest I had in any of the disgusting expensive theaters near my home.
And now they’re raising prices for all the services… so we’ll see if when it gets to home viewing it it’s affordable enough to watch or not.
If I were an actor in today’s age, I would legitimately rethink ever working with WB at this point. Hell, even if I were a PA. This goes to show that if you make something with WB, it likely won’t come out.
Yeah but spending months of your life working on something for it to never be seen by people really sucks. Even if you get paid. You make a thing, you are proud of the thing and then the thing gets put in a box and no one else ever gets to enjoy that thing. Capitalism sucks
While that’s all true, there are a lot of productions where I assume basically nobody involved is actually proud of the thing they are trying to create. Like all those soulless cash grab movies that Illumination pumps out. I figure basically everyone there is just trying to collect a paycheck
