Your right this thread as become almost like a online class talking about the problems of modern film/tv writing :whoo:
really this is the culmination of everything we kinda don't like about today's blockbusters, especially mcu

  • Mid-tier CGI leading to ugly worlds
  • humor that takes away from the stakes
  • Characters with magically gifted or advancing skills (mary sues)
  • Enemies that don't really feel like a threat
  • The climax turning into either a fist fight, a ship crashing, or both
  • The general feeling that the story it is feeding into is more important that the story you're watching
  • obvious edits / story changes from the original plans for the movie
  • franchise IP that is a part of a greater franchise that is trying to create a new franchise
  • ugly costumes (the power rangers suits)
It was 'mcu problem' bingo, and has issues that hold down other blockbusters as well

these problems are especially annoying when it's the first of the films and they have hopes of making a universe but it flops then we dont get anything. too busy trying to build into the bigger story without trying to make a good s solid stand alone film

So is this the biggest falloff for an MCU movie?

It's one of the biggest fall offs for any movie. A 69.8% second weekend drop followed by what looks to be a 60%+ drop in its 3rd weekend.

Like I said earlier, they can still salvage Kang and Jonathan Majors did his thing but I don't wanna see that writer again, I don't wanna see Peyton Reed either
