I'm Irish, I can hold grudges with the best of them when warranted.
Hahah I thought Irishmen just kind of duke it out and then forget about it?

Guess you haven't heard about the many examples of Irish grudges, such as the issues between Ireland and England that have been going on for generations. There are still many Irish that haven't forgiven the English for taking over Northern Ireland. Luckily my heritage is from Southern Ireland, but still in the blood. Michael Collins is a distant cousin of mine. If you know anything about the IRA and the fight against the English you know that means something.

Haha I have heard of that but I was thinking more along the lines of smaller day to day interactions amongst men. Not an ongoing centuries long feud between nations.
I didn’t know who he was is but looked it up and that’s impressive.

We Irish don't do small, its all big all the time, haven't you seen St Patrick Day celebrations. A long feud against a rival country or a friendly one on a Disney fan forum, its all the same.
Yeah there is a great biopic film about him starring Liam Neeson as him and Julia Roberts as his love interest Kitty about the early days of Ireland's fight for independence if you're interested.
Anyways we've hogged up enough of the thread, back to talking about Avenger's Campus.

Sounds like the feedback they got was similar to mine… if they re being honest about that part.

Maybe, but as I said such a waste. This is a downgrade in my opinion as Spidey don’t walk. To have him walk instead of being lowered betrays the character.
Guess we’ll see what the changes are, maybe it won’t be as bad as I’m thinking. But if it is I’ll be filing a complaint with Guest Services.

Maybe, If I remember.
I’m not planning to file a complaint with guest services but I am disappointed. The animatronic stunt thing is cool, but I feel like gliding down upside down on his “web” is the iconic thing that Spidey does and on the dozen plus times we watched it, people generally seem to enjoy it. I could live without him running down the line high giving people, but maybe that’s in character for the MCU Spider-Man who constantly needs validation?
I liked the opening parkour as well, and I don’t think it was at all as easy as he made it look (or maybe people saw it in a day he wasn’t doing flips) but I’d believe it’s hard to find somebody who wants to do that in full body suit in the sun several times a day (even putting aside the disorienting nature of being on a high ledge). Oh well, at least we got to enjoy it in its heyday.

I can live without the tumbling sequence, but him starting on the far side of the building talking over comms to Mr. Stark and then lowering himself down on "webs" are definite highlights on either side of the stuntronic.
Here's hoping they stay...

Just wanted to also tip my hat to Disney Irish and mickEblu - the sparring and debates are such a big part of keeping the DLR threads fresh on here.
Michael Collins is a soft, pro-treaty sell-out with the blood of the Irish Civil War on his hands!!! (just kidding) but it is funny to use Michael Collins as an example of irishmen holding grudges since he famously made perhaps the biggest compromise in the conflict?
PS - the green beer style Paddy's Day is also more of an Irish-American phenomenon than something that's really a big deal outside the touristic zones in Ireland
Great film! It was pretty controversial within the UK when it first came out. Have you ever seen "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" starring Cillian Murphy? Absolutely tragic but SO well done. Really great depiction of what happened after Michael Collins signed the treaty
Ayo! My family is from Munster so I'm right there with you. Our most famous relation, Terence MacSwiney died on a hunger strike in prison, but his funeral was a big deal! We also had a relative infamously pioneer the use of dynamite bombing which is....toughGuess you haven't heard about the many examples of Irish grudges, such as the issues between Ireland and England that have been going on for generations.

Indeed that Irish Catholic willingness to suffer in silence and never forget whom has wronged you goes for the Troubles and Disney fandom: I still haven't forgiven Eisner and Pressler for plopping DCA across from Walt's magnum opus.We Irish don't do small, its all big all the time, haven't you seen St Patrick Day celebrations.

Lol thank you and fellow Catholic here so I can relate. Although the last 15 years or so we’ve found ourselves going to Christian churches but still doing all of our sacraments in the Catholic Church. Kind of an interesting dynamic.

Thanks, I try to keep it lively in here.
We might be distant relatives then, as my relations all come from Cork. That would be wild if we're related.
Hey now, you're talking about my cousin there. Just because someone would try in all ways for a peaceful resolution to a conflict doesn't make them any less of an Irishman. He fought when all peaceful ways failed.
Yes! We may be silent but we are fierce when needed, and hold onto that grudge forever if needed.
Honestly I always thought green beer was weird. I'll drink it, don't get me wrong, but always thought putting green dye in beer just to make it seem like you're Irish is weird.
No, I haven't watch that or Peeky Blinders, both are on my list. On other Irish related films, I also need to go back and watch The Quiet Man, I haven't seen it in a long time. My grandparent would put that on when I was a kid and I always fell asleep to Maureen O'Hara singing.
Team Cork! Where we drink Murphy's and NOT GuinessThanks, I try to keep it lively in here.

I think I need to go back and watch Michael Collins, it's been at least 10 years and Liam Neeson is just a treasure.Hey now, you're talking about my cousin there.

100% agree - I've actually only been to Dublin proper on St. Patrick's day weekend and would really like to go back when it's just a normal day and see the Book of Kells + more
Had never heard of this film - tossing it on the list as well!
In any case, now returning to the regularly scheduled programming: do y'all think we'll see new entertainment + walk around alongside the new attractions?

I drink both actually.
Good movie and while obviously sensationalized its really well done and from what I've been able to find pretty accurate.
Sadly I haven't actually been to Ireland myself yet. My grandparents and aunts/uncles have all been, but I haven't stepped foot on the Emerald Isle yet. I plan on going soon, just need to set some things in my personal life up first.
Its a good classic Irish film, and has John Wayne in it.
I hope so, one of the things that AC has going for it is the entertainment.

Whoa @Disney Irish exactly what I recommended last week. Weird. Can you share that complaint to City Hall with us?
