The cat and Fury were the best parts of the movie easily. I did not mind how he lost the eye. It is actually kind of realistic. 9/10 times something like this happens and it is not badass at all. However, people will begin to make up their own stories around it to make it seem fantastic. That is what happened here and I found it funny. Without all of the cat and Fury stuff, this movie would not have been nearly as good.

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. Admiral Ackbar has spoken The actual scene may have been dumb, but I loved the scene with Coulson after where he mentions the eye and the Kree torture. That is what made it funny. People are just making up badass stories about how Fury lost his eye because he will never say anything.

No. That is ridiculous. I mean that 9/10 times when someone has a 'badass' injury, it was really something stupid like an eye infection.

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. No point at all! And in all honesty Fury didn't seem that put out by it!
Watch it turn out to be something stupid like Fury comes back and has the means to defeat Thanos because of something in his eye that the cat put there! I'm calling it right now! I swear to god if that happens I will fucking leave the theatre right in middle of Endgame!
And while we're on the subject: Where did the cat come from? He just happened to be walking around in the army base! Did it belong to anyone? Did anyone know it was an alien? Did anyone ever inquire about it? If I lost my cat I would! WTF?

If anything he's the 10th. They should have ever explained what happened to his eye. Just leave it alone. Why ruin it with this silliness?

Goose was originally Mar-Vell's flurkin, or however you spell it. It must have been kept around as a pet at Pegasus for the six years after she died.
I agree that Fury's nonchalant attitude towards Goose after losing his eye stuck in my craw but I got my mad out about that already and having seen it again and finding most the jokes just as funny I'm going to let it go. One of them, Fury waving Goose around and being irritated it didn't attack made me laugh even harder this time as I missed the look on SJ's face the first time around.

I liked it and after realizing I didn't remember it as well as I thought in a thread where I was uncertain she showed much arm strength and thought the missiles were in space when she destroyed them (Taylor was right they were in atmosphere but the scene jumped straight to space after and that's what I remembered) I figured I better see it again if I was going to discuss it--I felt kinda silly about that. It's not like I can pop in the Blu-ray and check.
I went to an 8AM showing which is only $6 around here, what's six bucks?

Yeah, I wish I could get the $6 movie. I'd see ALL kinds of shit. I was in NYC when Ant-Man premiered and I saw it opening night in Times Square at some theater that had something like four floors, I'd never heard of such a thing. I can't recall exactly what I paid for my ticket to the IMAX showing or whatever they called their best screen, but I remember thinking that's how they pay for all these floors!

Sounds like you were at the AMC. They charge $23.00 nowadays for IMAX showings. Yep.
And you hadn't even gotten concessions yet.
Beautiful building though.

That's about double what you pay around here.
Regarding concessions I don't recall those being as bad as what I paid for a 10-12 oz diet coke on Broadway. My brother thought his connections (he went to acting school in NYC and 'knew a guy') could score us tickets to Hamilton which was the hottest ticket in town, but that didn't pan out so we to see Les Mis instead. I think I paid eight or nine bucks for that little soda.
I loved seeing the city again, I saw it when I was a little kid and all I really remember was how filthy it was and how unhappy the people looked. However the last two times we went each time we managed to get disoriented and were trying to figure out how to get where we were going and some nice polite New Yorker came up and directed us to our destination like he was paid by the city to keep us silly mid-western tourists from getting too lost. I was also very impressed by the subways and how they'd have guys playing music in those halls or whatever you call them. Good music too, it was like walking in a dream, a very pleasant experience. An awfully impressive city now, I enjoyed it immensely; I got a warm glow when I saw the little Hell's Kitchen hotel we stayed in on "Jessica Jones" I think it was.
Kinda expensive though!
