The public is there to see Tony vs Cap, this is the one time I think where people won't care very much about the villain but yeah for Spidey and BP they gotta step it up for sure.

Yeah it seems worded poorly. Expendable tends to imply unimportant/useless. I think he's saying the movie treats him as expendable in terms of screentime, and that it falls flat once he leaves? Not sure.
And when you do, you best be leading that hype charge.

At the point the movie is at its most entertaining and never reaches that kind of high again.
he's really awesome, not crucial to the story, he's so good you miss him when he's not in the movie

This is reassuring to hear. I was worried Ant-Man was going to be relegated to a minor role, but this makes it seem like that's not the case.
Pretty sure they're just referring the actress that is playing a character on the Luke Cage TV series but not playing the same character.
OH SHIT!!! This is the bigger news here.

My reading of that is that Spider-Man is totally ancillary to the plot, but also the most enjoyable character in the film.
Mockingbird? It would make sense for her to jump to Cap's aid during the carnage.

*delusional* I'm sure it had everything to do with their work on Community *delusional*

I just need to see Spider-Man. I need it.
Well it's a Marvel movie so honestly I'm just expecting like 30 minute long sequence where everyone fights a bunch of faceless mooks before facing off the villain of the movie. Probably after they begrudgingly make up for fighting one another for most of the movie instead of the real bad guy. (I barely know what his movie is about).

If you go to twitter, you'll see that he loved the movie and other tweets indicate that he really dislikes BvS

More Spidey praise
If there's one consistent thing, people LOVE him

You can see their talent on that paintball episode of "Community". It was tense while maintaining a sense of fun.
Always funny to see the hype machine at work.
Astounding hyperbole POSITIVE = holy shit this going to be amazing movie of the forever; complete trust
Astounding hyperbole NEGATIVE = must be a troll; not to be trusted
Never trust early reviews either way.
A lot of these early reactions are from enthusiast blogs, so they may be kinder to a genre film like this than some of the other critics, especially those with an axe to grind with regards to the superhero genre.
So basically how Age of Ultron was a big "fuck you" to Man of Steel?
They were very positive but still tempered, lots of "it's great in spite of its size" type of comments. Some gushed but many were merely very positive and there were warning signs that it would feel overstuffed

If the russos nail the character dynamics then we're on the right track

Marvel had to know it would play well. They're screening this way early and letting critic talk on Twitter.
I honestly think they're aiming to depress Batman v Superman's third weekend sales.
That said, sounds good.

I'm positive that guy didn't see the movie. Look at some of the other dumpster tweets he shat out.

T'Challaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! My body is fucking ready.
I know people are mostly hyped for Spiderman but for me I'm fucking stoked for Black Panther. I've seen Spiderman too many time. I need someone fresh.
Black Panther is the main reason I'm watching Civil War. Thank fucking God for Boseman.
I'd almost pay for you to do this. Almost.
People always forget about this kind of thing.
Of course you shouldn't. People haven't had time to think about what they saw, it's just raw impressions.
Yeah it shows
I think you're going to be surprisedGood advice but I was already at maximum hype. This is like rich and creamy sustenance
What did he mean by this?

All I came here for was Panther

It actually did. Feige sought them out after seeing the season two finale they directed.
But I hate Spider-Man 2.

Alright, headed to bed now, I think.
If any more hot takes roll in please post them and I'll add to the OP in the morning
One of them has an egg avatar. Not exactly the same crowd (not that we should take these ones too seriously either)

Well The Boss might best it this weekend so it's not like it can be pushed much lower

Crowd impressions and critical impressions are usually very different.

They are shown to fans right? Correct me if I am wrong.
To be fair, a lot of those are fan reaction rather than critic reactions like we're seeing here.
These weren't industry folks
I reckon having Arrested Development on their CV didn't hurt either, for Easter eggs and all the rest
