I also despise the app-centered purchase of everything. I mean, sure, if it makes it easier for someone, have at it. But I don't want to be forced into adding apps to my phone because we know it's almost all spying on you.
Exactly. What if my phone isn't fully charged or I don't have it -- do I lose my ticket? Or what if I choose to buy a cheaper phone that doesn't allow apps? Then what?
Also, the theater is tracking your tastes and sending you data, ads, etc, and using your money to pay for that tracking. It's unlimited data plan that's paying for it. I can see doing it if you see movies all the time, but if you don't? Waste.
Also it's yet another reason not to go to the movie theater and just watch movies on demand. I used to love going to movies, now...cell phones have ruined movies for me.
[ETA: one other thing that just occurred to me -- my phone sends apps to the cloud when it gets too full. I'm constantly waiting for apps to download. So what if I buy tickets, then the phone sends it to the cloud and I can't access them when I go to the movie theater? Ugh. This dependency on tech will be the death of us all.]
It did make more sense to me that it would have been Carol interacting with it than Fury, both in terms of character development and Fury's past representation. That certainly doesn't help.
Weirdly in the movie it does work. Because I was thinking the same thing prior to seeing the movie and, in the comics -- the cat is Carol's and is called Chewie. Here, it's Marv-Vel's cat, and Carol gets along very well with it, but she's not attached to it -- so much as it attaches itself to her and then to Fury. (It's actually a Flerken, which is a dangerous creature that eats people disguised as a domestic housecat.)
I read that the writers shifted the cat to Fury, when it was discovered that Brie had a serious allergy to cats. (Actually, a lot of people do. If you have allergies at all -- you are probably allergic to cats, it's the dander.)
Carol isn't developed well here -- we get a good outline, and more than most, but nowhere near the character development we got in Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spiderman, and Black Panther. I found that to be disappointing. Marvel/Disney need to step up their game in regards to the female centric super-hero flicks.
We'll probably have to wait until the sequel to get more -- because you're right, Endgame is going to be packed as it is.
