Captain Marvel (2019)

I think it was a temporary YouTube problem. A certain other video was also showing the same behavior. Now it's back again, even though the event is over. Ah, it's now a recording of the event, no longer live streaming.

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

It was cool to see Henry Simmons and Natalia Cordova-Buckley show up on the Red Carpet in support of their cast mate. I hadn't expected to see them. Makes me excited for season 6! :D

Yeah, for a second I thought maybe they had cameos. But then I realized it was the wrong millennium! And that they were showing up to support the MCU & CM, as you say. Also, to plug AoS S6 a little ('s alright!). :techman:

I actually spotted Simmons in the background during a previous interview and I initially thought "Nah, that's not him, it's just some security guy," until I saw Cordova-Buckley was there, too.

Chloe Bennet and Elizabeth Henstrige showed up for a brief interview follow briefly by Ming-Na Wen and the guy who plays Zeke. Interestingly, I never saw Clark Gregg on the red carpet.

I really think we would not be seeing these threads predictably shoot off into 50-100+ page dumpster fires again and again and again if the mods were more sincere in their dedication to civility rather than feeling entitled to selectively indulge in petty online drama. And there's an obvious difference between having an opinion and lobbing an insult. There is also a trollish passive-aggressive streak at play. For instance, Locutus' avatar image seems intended to troll Trek purists. I've seen him use that avatar in its larger form to deliberately mock them. You can't whack a hornet's nest with a baseball bat one moment and then put the referree hat on and expect them to not try to turn around and sting.

IMHO, if a mod is playing "off-duty police officer" they should be smacked down by the on-duty police officers when they start swinging below the belt. I see no evidence of this. I'm not even sure there's a mechanism for mods to issue warnings or ban other mods. Also, mods can't be put on ignore, so there's no getting around that being a mod offers the perks of immunity and a bully-pulpit, both of which may be the reason why some choose to volunteer in the first place.

I'm not going to belabor the point but this is my collective observation after having been here for many years. I know damn well questioning things like this risks being given a warning but like I said, if there's any interest in preventing flamewars (which is what mods are supposed to do) then it would pay to listen to some feedback.

No. This is NOT the place to try getting around the rules. If you have a complaint, you should be well aware of where to go to make it.

Everyone please cease this sidebar and return to the actual topic of the thread.

Good heavens, this is all self-pitying drivel. People have other opinions than you. So far as this forum goes, the only mods here are- Neroon, Spaceman Spiff, and Timby. Any other green band clan are just posters here like anyone else.

If so few people agree with your opinion, maybe, you might consider whether your opinion is less than optimal?

Oh, cool, I missed those! I'll have to go back and watch the recording.

Chloe and Elizabeth are at about 24 minutes, followed immediately by Ming Na. Samuel Jackson shows up at about 50 minutes, which I saw the first time I went through it, but missed Clark Gregg showing up at about 54 minutes, so I must have stepped out of the room at that point.

I've seen mods take punitive measures against each other. Generally speaking they tend instead to discuss differences off the radar but it isn't unknown by any stretch of the imagination.

Just don't ask me to trawl through years of threads to find links.

I'm more Trek purist than not, and I find it funny and spot on. Maybe you need to treat this stuff a little less seriously?
