Not all the same But nice try Excuse me. I have had many cats before Ringo in my avatar & since. None have ever sprouted an array of tentacles the sarlacc would be envious of to devour 3 grown humanoid beings & a power stone. We have seen what happens to lesser beings that hold a power stone in contact with their bodies-they explode. Goose doesn't even smoke a little. Goose is like a tardis or that MiB marble. We dont really know how big the dimensional space inside of him is, but we know it isn't anything that fits in the concept of a regular feline. It's more the tone of the scene that ruins it. Yes, the cat is an alien monster, but they play it for laughs. And it is clearly there to subvert expectations in a playful way. It's like "Waiting for Nick to lose the eye? It was a cat! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" That was obviously want they were trying to do.

Weirdly enough, even though I think the Fury’s eye reveal was super lame, I don’t think I’m going to forget it. I truly can’t recall how Xavier becomes paralyzed in First Class. All I can remember is some shot that keeps him walking but surpresses his powers. So you remember a cat pawing out Furys eye in a throwawy scene but not Xavier getting a deflected shot to the spine in the climax of a highly dramatic conclusion to the cuban missle crisis? Okay... All because I find it to be more memorable doesn’t necessarily make it better. But yeah honestly couldn’t remember that. Probably because people get shot all the time in movies. Not many people get their famously patched eye scratched out by some alien cat. I didn’t like it but I’ll never forget it.

Hence the highly dangerous status on the Kree device. That was not a cat. So is this funny? insideedition.com/man-who-lost-limbs-after-he-was-licked-dog-says-hes-happy-be-alive-45740

If you think otherwise you weren't watching the same movie.

It was meant to be funny and it is funny. Is this going to become another dance off thing that we never hear the end of?

Haters complain about the dance off, overzealous fans complain about the Mandarin switch and the cat scratch. I like the Mandarin switch and while I don't love the cat scratch, it certainly doesn't ruin Fury for me.

I think the main difference here is that the mandarin reveal was a plot twist, the dance-off had a tactical purpose, whereas the cat-eye thing was just a random occurrence. I mean, all of them were done for comedic value but the first 2 served a purpose to further the story. The cat-eye scene was pretty much just a random accident that didn't do anything for the story. Had the cat taken out Fury's eye in the midst of a battle people would probably react better to it.

Most of the complaints I've seen about the cat scratch are that it was just a cat scratch (and yes it wasn't a cat) instead of some badass combat injury. Whether or not it affected the story is irrelevant. In the context of the film it's fine but you go back and watch TWS and some of those badass scenes involving his eye now reference a gag from another film. Like I said, they could've come up with something better but it isn't that big of a deal.

I'm totally indifferent to the eye scratch thing because it really doesn't matter to anything. I disliked the Mandarin twist but it didn't ruin anything and I don't go around the internet harping about it.

Instead you go around the internet harping about others harping about it. And anyway if you don't want to read anyone harping about it you've come to the wrong place.

Why did the cat scratch his eye out? 'cause reasons? Hate to admit it but Norman does have a point. There was next to no reason for the cat to scratch out Fury's eye. It was perfectly friendly with him before and after that incident.
