So I see it made less than the first


And I see more and more negative reactions being mixed in with every marvel release


One day we'll all see who the prophet is

It's the internet breh, people can't tell the difference. Something is either great or terrible, there's no room for in between or nuance

Cookie cutter is how i'd describe the mcu.

Rate this between 0 and10 literally means rate it 0 or 10.

I agree but while YOU understand that logic how many others do?

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

The real problem with the mcu is they are so busy trying to get the characters "right" that they forgot comics also contain interesting stories.

Arcs that have the imprints of different writers, with subtle depths. All the mcu films have no variation or depth. Its the equivalent of one single writer using the same voice to write every arc and character. Its boring and feels phoned in. Gives them a manufactured feel due to the execs having more power than the writer and directors.

These movies are so sterile and so safe that they are tedious at best. They should be encouraging writers to leave their own imprint, not forcing them to follow generic layed out set pieces filled with one liners.


These don't feel like comic book films with comic book stories. They feel like summer blockbusters with comic book characters instead of sly stallone.


They need to inject some goddamn personality already. I don't care if rdj embodies tony stark if the story youre telling isn't worth knowing.

And this entire statement is why I love Daredevil and Guardians so much. They feel irreverent and subversive to everything else that they do

Nah, wait until the second season and the sequel before you say that.

I'm 10 episodes into Daredevil and it is so much better than the entire filmography of marvel its not even funny. It took me about 6 episodes to really warm up to it and sink my teeth into but I'm already more excited for the netflix shows than I am the movies.


I need punisher and moon knight shows.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Nah, wait until the second season and the sequel before you say that.

Nah no need because I'm talking about two products right now: daredevil season 1 and guardians 1. If the 2nd season and the 2nd movie turn out to be same ole same ole, then that means I won't like the 2nd season or the 2nd movie but it doesn't diminish what came before it; I don't look at stuff like that. No matter how I feel about Dark Knight Rises, it doesn't change how i feel about Dark Knight at all. By that logic, I shouldn't like the first ninja turtles movie because of the 2nd and 3rd

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

So between stark just ignoring the arc of his character from iron man 3 and marvel retconning the mandarin twist, what exactly was the point of im3 other than more marvel filler?

the most frustrating thing about the movie to me. And to make it worse, he gets to the same point again at the end of ultron so you're right, what exactly was the point of it? It's as if they pulled a clone wars on it and retconned it from existence

Well the main critique of the marvel productions is that they are repetitive and bland, but these two are still new properties, and considering that all of the films/episodes are based on continuity, with the same tone present, its hard imo to love one and despise the other.
