Gen Z are saying the Spiderverse movies clears the entire MCU

[TheNig]

Yeah, I'd trade all 22+ mcu flicks for 11 more Spider-verse tier movies today.

With zero hesitation.

And I enjoyed the Cap films and the Black Panther movies. Some of the best comic films for their time.

But Spider-verse is head n shoulders above imo.

That should be where these films go in the future.

Highly stylized animation with more reserved budgets.

Can do way better action pieces without the terrible cgi live action requires people look past.

I almost agree with you but I can't see myself giving up the first Iron Man, Winter Soldier, or Infinity War.

And I honestly feel like both Spider-verse movies are better than those three but man... I don't know.

The bold isn't what I was implying at all.

Using DC as an example, The Flashpoint Paradox is a classic and technically better than any DC film ever but only contrarians harp on that comparison because you can't truly compare...not because Animation is lesser, but because it's a different medium with different limitations, potentials and advantages. The Spot is a character you couldn't even begin to make look good or function properly in live action.

The MCU's entire appeal is comic to live action adapatation. The OG Avengers wouldn't have hit the same if we weren't collectively in awe of those characters coming to LIFE in a way we hadn't seen before.

By the time we get to Spider-verse films Marvel has made what seemed rare or impossible into routine on that front. Everyone is trying to copy the formula, including Sony with it's off-brand shyt and L&M decide to take a different route and it payed off in a huge way.

By the end of my post I wasn't sure if you were disparaging animation or not but I shrugged n pulled the trigger regardless so I'm glad I was wrong.

And you're right, but I'll say that for myself, all those mcu flicks could've been animated from the start and I really think that it still could've been a behemoth success.

Matter of fact, in a world where mcu removed the useless stigma that animation gets hit with, I think Spider-verse could've been a billion dollar debut from the getgo.

These films weren't winning Oscar's anyways, so why suffer the limitations of live action jank when the preferred medium was right next door all along?

And props and agreed, Flashpoint is the best stuff DC has ever produced.

It’s crazy, I literally just watched these shyts
last night for the first time and this thread got made.



I fukk with them.

 

[The_Sheff]

Nope.

Only true for the two first Avengers flicks and then Civil War through Endgame, with some monsters sparingly placed between those like GOTG 1/2.

Civil War. Black Panther. Infinity War. Endgame.

And Spider-verse clears all of those all the same.

What do you mean by clear? Nothing that happened in the theaters with Spider-Verse matches what the theater experience was like for any of the MCU flicks you mentioned.

Cultural experiences are always hard to quantify for people who weren’t there. These gen z folks don’t know what it was like to see people crying coming out of Infinity War. Legit crying. Black Panther had black folks showing out in the theater. Endgame last 3rd had the entire theater rocking. It was amazing.

And Marvel did it with the B and C tier characters!

It’s like when people today try to diss Avatar and how much money it made. If you didn’t see it in the theater you will never understand.

Yeah... That's not true cuh.

Everybody in the theater I was at for the second Spider-verse movie went thru about three or four emotions because of the ending. The only other time I felt like that in a theater was the end of Infinity War.

 

[Diunx]

Ngl, I got mad as fukk that after over two hours the second movie ends in a fukking to be continued, will wait for streaming for the next one.

Breh, I saw damn near every Mcu flicks in theaters.

The only ones that were events tbh, were Avengers, Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame.

Yep, the first avengers movie, IW and endgame were true theater experiences.

Word?

Word?

Yep.

 

[010101]

they should get that animated crushes live action when it comes to comic flicks video game adaptations the fantasy genre in general*

 

[valet]

Have a hard time believing this
Most Gen Z grew up on Avengers, Marvel. My niece and nephew 17 and they would never say this. And they love Spiderverse.

 

[perfectblack999]

If the next one is one par with the first two it’s a serious candidate for GOAT comic book movie series

Bruh it's not even close.

A good portion of Americans (from all generations) know who Thanos is off cultural relevance.

I'm having a hard time even remembering who the villain was in Spiderverse 2.

It's not even close.

Now if you're talking about quality of the movies, maybe. Spiderverse 2 was top-tier and sure the MCU laid a few eggs, but in terms of cultural relevance, nah.

They aint lying
