That seems really, really lazy. Now they just have to flesh out everyone's egos, add something dramatic, and tell Chris Pratt to tell a joke.

She's pretty powerful but she isn't defeating Thanos by herself. She isn't an end all be all unstoppable force. Also I don't think there will be any ego issues this time. They all will have the goal of getting revenge against Thanos. Finally Chris Pratt isn't in movie or at least probably not that much.

IT doesn’t seem like a major thing though... I think they highest was 10,000$ to a family... trust me if that is the highest they got then they aren’t even scratching the surface.

I agree. Trust me we all know it's going on. It will be interesting what the NCAA does now with all this new info and sworn testimony from a key witness in the basketball bribery and corruption trial that is spilling over now into college football too.

So it might actually be watchable.

I'm not a massive MCU movie fan (really I rarely go to the theater), but I'll watch it if it's the only thing on. Tony Stark's ego went from being a quirky shtick to an annoying af barrier to any progress being made in the story. And whether it's Parks and Rec or whatever else he's been in, I think Chris Pratt is overrated.

Your comment actually makes me not want to avoid the new movie.

It sounds like these movie just aren't your thing. As a life long comic reader I get excited to see these characters and stories come to life on screen.

Most people have heard the statement, "You can't teach speed." Another statement that appears equally true is you can't teach power. The things you can do is increase size and strength. Apparently, if you want speed and power you can only get that through recruiting. You can recruit guys who have speed then add size and strength and you can recruit guys who have power and add size and strength. So if we have guys on our roster that are slow they are likely to always be slow and if we have lineman that don't have any significant power the only way to fix that is to recruit the right types of guys.

From freshman through senior year, college football players achieve significant increases in strength and size, reports a study in the September issue of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, official research journal of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.

But even with modern training regimens, these athletes show limited changes in speed and power, according to the study by Bert H. Jacobson, EdD, FACSM, and colleagues of Oklahoma State University, Stillwater. They believe their results have implications for tracking the progress and development of football players by position, as well as for evaluating potential recruits.
How Much Do College Football Players Improve Over Time?

The researchers analyzed the findings of preseason evaluations of players from Oklahoma State's NCAA Division I football program over a seven-year period. Measures of size, strength, speed, and power were tracked across all four years of eligibility.

Evaluations were performed before the start of each football season, after summer training camp. The study included data on a total of 92 offensive and defensive linemen and 64 players in skill positions -- wide receivers and defensive backs.

"All strength measures improved significantly over the years of training," Dr Jacobson and coauthors write. For example, among linemen, maximum bench press strength increased by 18 percent from freshman to senior year: from approximately 350 to 410 lb. For skill players, bench press strength increased by 34 percent: from about 230 to 310 lb, with most of the increase in the first two years.

For linemen, body mass increased each year, while body fat progressively decreased. Skill players had a significant increase in body mass through the first two years; body fat remained low through all four years.

Strength Increases, but Little Change in Power and Speed: In contrast, there were no significant changes in measures of speed, such as 40-yard sprint time; or power, such as vertical jump height. Skill players showed a small increase in power between the first and second years. For linemen, there was no significant change in power. Neither group increased significantly in speed.
Partly because of sophisticated training programs, today's athletes are stronger, faster, and more powerful than in the past. The new study is one of the first to analyze detailed information on measures of physical performance in collegiate football players throughout their four years of eligibility.

"These data provide a theoretically predictable 4-year rate of change in anthropometric, strength, and power variables for Division I football players," Dr Jacobson and coauthors write. They believe their results will help strength and conditioning professionals ensure that these elite athletes stay on track in terms of developing increased size and strength.

However, the study finds little or no change in the key attributes of power and speed. The initial increase in power among skill players appears "negligible," compared to the large gains in strength; neither group shows improvement in speed over the course of their careers.

Based on their findings, the researchers suggest that recruiting efforts should focus on identifying athletes who have previously demonstrated superior power and speed. "These variables are particularly difficult to positively alter in four years of training at the college level."

So why can't athletes develop greater speed and power? "Theoretically, speed and power are variables that are greatly dependent on muscle fiber type," Dr. Jacobson explains. "With respect to fast- and slow-twitch fibers, people are born with a certain proportion of each and those individuals who possess a greater ratio of fast-twitch fibers are naturally faster."

While true, fiber types convert based on the training stimulus applied.

There have been interesting studies performed on this including a set of identical twins, one a marathon runner and the other general recreation.

The general guy was around 50/50 diver type composition. Marathon bro was like 90/10

The dudes who train explosively get explosive. It’s the principle of specificity applied
