Eh, keep Snyder the fukk away from the MCU. The Russos did their thing in the last saga. Deserved the chairs for IW/Endgame after leaving a big footprint with The Winter Soldier. That being said, they haven't directed anything in this current saga. And I'm all for letting the new bloods like Destin Daniel Cretton cook with an Avengers-scale film cause I want to see something different this go-round.

The real issue is that they need to hone in on these scripts PRIOR to shooting. That's one thing Gunn preached about in his DC introduction that I appreciated, and it has been killing Marvel for quite some time now.
Action scenes have been killing marvel as well. This is why we need Snyder

Can't speak for the other nikkas but DDC's action choreography was fire in Shang-Chi.

Who's better Zack Snyder or the guy who directed Thor love and thunder
Snyder directed arguably the most disappointing comic book movie of all time. This isn’t about other directors, it’s about him flopping terribly running DCU or whatever they called it. I couldn’t think of many more uninspiring people to lead the future of the MCU

just saw it. typical mediocre ant man film but still better than the 2nd one. Majors was compelling but I wish hed use a more relaxed speaking voice. i get hes going for a haughy, arrogant, and aristocratic sounding Kang but sometimes his lines dont land as well because hes using a forced voice.

Kathryn Newton is a bad actress too. Her facial emotes were WOAT and her line delivery was shakey.

Ironically, Kane being portrayed by a black man is causing you all to be overly critical of him. If he was played by a white actor it would be more of a just wait and see mindset. But because Majors has the role you all believe he was willfully sabotaged because he's black. It doesn't make sense. Why would they make Kang the multiversal threat, hire a black man to take on the role, then purposely sabotage and handicap their next major villain because he's a black man, whom THEY hired? :dahell:

Is this bad writing, yes. But that's nothing new for the MCU as of late. Is it willful sabotage, NO! Some of you all are as bad as those reactionary critics like The Drinker and Nerdrotic with ridiculously conspiratorial shyt takes. Majors has gotten nothing but nearly universal praise for his portrayal of Kang, overcoming a mediocre script like it's nothing and drawing SOMETHING out of this movie. No one is hating this movie because of Majors. People are just tired of the Marvel formula and they pissed away all of their goodwill with the dud that was Phase 4.

Kang is also going to be a different sort of villain than Thanos. They are going to ATTEMPT to write him differently, which they should. I just hope they can pull it off. Kang is immensely powerful but he's also just a man. His advantage is the mastery of time and space. If he's out of those elements there is a chance someone can get a fluke victory over him. Thing is, we don't even know if he's dead. The other Kangs say he is but of course they want to believe that; he was so bad he was excommunicated by a gang of psychopaths and murderers. :mjlol: I think we will see more of that variant again, or at least learn his story.
