CBM: X-Men '97; Deadpool and Wolverine trailer

I liked Cap 2, but I thought the climax on the helicarriers was extremely underwhelming and unoriginal. Maybe it was a budget issue, but the scale of the destruction was laughably small. 3 aircraft carriers were blown up and fell 3000 feet out of the sky and yet somehow landed in the same spot in the Potomac where they were launched.

I liked it, honestly. MOS and 9/11 gave them plenty of motivation to limit the destruction. I had no desire to see an apocalyptic version of DC.

That doesn't work for me, the scale of the climax is completely wasted without the threat of the destruction. If they aren't going to follow through, they should find a more creative an original way to end these movies rather than just blowing up larger and larger shit at the end

problem with MOS wasn't the destruction, it was that SUPERMAN himself caused most of the destruction, with like, no regard.
 
The threat of the destruction? SHIELD was completely destroyed. Torching some buildings on the Potomac wouldn't have added to that.

If Agent Hill had rigged the helicarriers to destroy themselves in a way that did more damage outside of the SHIELD campus, it would have been the same problem.

The triple helicarriers were extraneous from the plotline of Shield being destroyed, not to mention being a reductive set piece from the Avengers movie.
 
Can we just pump the brakes on the disappoint of the lack of realism from a movie about a super soldier who was frozen for over half a century and his best friend who was also frozen and genetically enhanced?

disagree; superman made zero effort to contain their ridiculous fight damage. The argument could be made that hill should've had the carriers fly out over the ocean or something but come on.
 
Pretty interesting that in both Thor 2 and Capt 2 that the "hero" is really not prominently featured in either movie (Loki, ScarJo, etc).
 
Hydras infiltration of Shield and the threat that implied was the true climax, not flying around the heli-carriers trying to put in a huge microchip in some conspicuously accessible console, that was dumb Transformers-esque PG destruction porn. I'll be disapointed if every Marvel film from now on ends with a half assed Death Star action sequence.

I can agree with that.
 
That being said, it was still a damn good movie. I can dig Captain America as Jason Bourne
 
Who is the burnt up guy gonna end up being? They showed that he's still alive and kicking. There's also an article on Grantland about him being a "That Guy"
 
Crossbones. Or Darth Vader. Who knows. Disney owns both.

Thanks. But if consciousness can be reduced to a thumb drive why did not more Kryptonians do that and live forever as holograms.

b/c plot holes!
