Rumor is there is a lot of fan service in this one and the runtime is high. I have high hopes and think the trailer looks great.

Marvel Phase 2 begins in May. Lets hope Iron Man 3 starts things off as well as it did Phase 1 and the culmination is as good as Avengers.

Looks like yet another 'Arabs are Evil' propaganda movie.

Guy Pearce isn't an arab and neither is Ben Kingsley. The Mandarian character is originally Chinese. Your outrage is based on ignorance.

Edit: the people in your screenshot look like indians to me

Arabs, Muslims and/or Arab-looking people are almost always portrayed negatively in American cinema, especially action films.

It'd be a lot easier to digest different thoughts and ideas if you had an open mind.

I could complain incessantly about controllers and gaming systems that aren't even out yet, but I choose to focus the limited amount of time and energy I spend on this message board on other, more meaningful things. And you get all Grumpy Cat like clockwork every time I do. It's pretty awesome, actually.

You are a moron.
1. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment.

2. a person of borderline intelligence, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69.
You're a lock for #1 and I wouldn't bet against #2.

The tropes and stereotypes that movies use are far from limited to arabs. Ask any Italian. Who is your favorite movie villain? Chances are, he's white. White dudes are the villains in Hollywood movies more than all the other minorities and cultures in the world combined. Like I said earlier, your outrage is based on ignorance.

Keep fighting the good fight though. The world needs people like you to watch out for these types of things. I am totally serious too. However, I think you should just be a little more focused before casually throwing out some of your opinions. You come across on this forum as someone swinging a bat at every pitch hoping to hit something out of the park. I have never once doubted your intelligence or sincerity as a person, but you do come off as a little too eager much of the time.

Yes, white people are frequently the villain in movies and hardly ever the hero.

And in American cinema they are American and in French movies they are French. Weird how that works.

Go white guilt somewhere else. Koreans are the most prejudiced people on earth. Go bug them. Next, hit up Japan with some trolling. You come off as a complete moron (because you are a moron) accusing the melting pot of the world as being racist when it's nowhere even remotely close to being as bad as other parts of the world. Take your shit international. Please volunteer yourself as a human shield in North Korea. It would impress us all immensely. You'd have a chance to become a martyr. (look it up)

Spang reminds me of this friend I had for a year or so who was from Brazil and moved to Utah and assumed that since I grew up mormon that I was still mormon and was republican. No matter how many times I told him I wasn't part of the church anymore and was definitely not republican he'd still argue with me, or actually mostly argue with himself, over and over about the same issues as if I was republican. It didn't matter what I would say, he would just carry on with his rhetoic to the point that I just didn't even listen anymore. Eventually he went away.

And it was! Not like TENFOLD better but still more enjoyable and I was (mostly) entertained by the end. The opposite of how I felt after watching Star Trek: Into Darkness.
