Mine is that the Disney+ shows should not have any impact on the movies, that they should just be on their own.
Not very engaging and hard to care about the characters. They put so many characters and fight scenes that it’s hard to care about a any of the even if they technically killed half of them.
“Hot take”
Is this some blogger again looking to score content?
Multiverses and Alternative Universes are very lazy plot devices. I wish the Marvel Universe would do ballsy choices and stick to them. Like keeping Iron Man dead. You decided to kill him, so keep that choice.
Meh. We have the Trump cinematic universe now, and it has scarier villains.
Endgame is one of the worst movies of all time.
Finally I see this opinion somewhere! Everyone was raging about how it was the best movie ever and I was just “meh” right after I walked out of the cinema.
All the defensive I’ve seen basically boil down to “It’s the biggest most important movie ever, it can’t afford to waste time being interesting”.
The first 30min or so were good. When everyone’s depressed and before they launch their rescue mission
That it’s shit
It’s always been garbage. Not this multiverse or after im3 or whatever. The movies have always been trash.
I feel the same way. I don’t mind anybody liking them, but I just don’t see the appeal. To me they’re so tremendously boring that I can’t stand watching them.
We need a new movie where the guy denied claim of life to CEO plays the anti hero
That was the first two thirds of The Batman.
Always has been meme?
Not really. Most of the earlier movie Batman villains were rather over the top villains that may have an axe to grind but were depicted as more outright evil.
The Riddler in the The Batman honestly comes across as more of a hero in the first two acts of The Batman based on who he is targeting. All of the Riddler’s victims are causing massive harm to Gotham and the city’s political system seems unable to really address it. This includes Bruce Wayne’s complicity in the corruption of the city by being a derilect chair of the charity that is supposed to be improving the city.
If you end the movie when Batman and the Riddler are in the jail cell, you would be hard pressed to identify the Riddler as a villain; he is just a kind of vigilante that Batman is. It isn’t until the Riddler attacks Gotham as a whole when the Riddler actually becomes a villain.
So…The Spectre
The only hot take for these types of surveys is: i don’t hate them.
What ever the subject is doesn’t matter. When you ask a group for input on their “hot take” devolves into a forum to shit on whatever the topic may be.
So my hot take is: I enjoy some of the movies while others I do not.
Right answer.
They have good movies… for kids.
The MCU has run out of steam after they got away from the A list heroes. It’s not that B- or C- list characters can’t do well, it’s just that it takes a talented writer/director to do it with a good movie, and Disney/Marvel just isn’t capable of getting that consistently on their own, they’re too safe & corporate. They’re just trying to recreate what made the original MCU run successful, but we’ve already seen that. I don’t know that there’s necessarily “superhero fatigue”, though trends in movies & pop culture come and go, that’s inevitable, but for me it’s more been “bad writing fatigue”, I’m just sick of their lazy ass shit writing, it’s insulting and I’m tired of being treated like that by the MCU.
When the MCU started I don’t think people considered Iron Man, Captain America, Thor as A list. They were just the properties they weren’t able to sell off yet. Doing these movies was a big gamble. They needed to succeed so they put their best effort into them and it paid off.
The MCU did great with Guardians of the Galaxy, which were C tier at best.
James Gunn did great with Guardians of the Galaxy. I’m not sure many others could’ve pulled it off as well.
I’m not sure how much credit Disney should get for that compared to James Gunn, considering they fired him and he was able to turn Suicide Squad into a hit as a result.
The Marvel universe is mainly there to create possibilities to make more money, not to tell a good story. Granted I have hardly seen any of the movies/series, but after Avengers I never saw a reason to. Marvel realised Avengers was good and now they pulled out as much stuff out of the universe to fill a seemingly endless stream of “storytelling”.
Stan Lee was a cunt.
I used to think he was Stanley until I saw a credit scene in the early marvel movies 😂
… I mean, that’s kind of the joke. He was born Stanley Martin Lieber.
TIL
Big loud bang bang movies that do nothing more than dumb down their audience further. And the superheroes weirdly and conveniently save the status quo of an awful world over and over again.
I enjoyed the MCU up until Age of Ultron. The movies are almost all from the same mold, just with different names and look and that was true even before the first Avengers film. But it was new back then. The newness has worn off and it’s way past time the MCU evolves, or retires.
The exception are the Guardians of the Galaxy series. They are better made films that actually made me feel invested in the characters. The beginning of Guardians 3 is probably the best scene in the entire MCU.
Age of Ultron is where I started to check out too.
The last MCU movie I watched was Black Panther (the first). I enjoyed it well enough compared to the recent fair that I decided to go out on a high note.
Really? That awful CGI final act from black panther is so distractingly bad
By that point all the CGI was cringe AF, I can’t watch giant battle scenes without my minds eye seeing all the actors pantomiming on a massive green screen set. Really, one or two impressive practical effects and I might have stuck around longer.
At least BP had a couple new plot elements and wasn’t just the same movie with different beam colors. Not really new elements, but new for the MCU anyway.
Dude, it was just the lion king but worse. And tchalla character goes backwards, he was so cool in civil war (another overrated movie) but he’s punkd so hard in his own movie
For me, The Black Panther lost my interest when a super advanced, technologically-driven state decided that the best way to choose a ruler was to have two guys punch and kick each other.
