I know a lot of it is valid criticism
But I feel like part of it, a small part, is this growing narrative about Marvel being on a down swing
Eternals kinda started it, Dr Strange fed into it, and now I feel like any Marvel movie will have a tougher time hitting the 90% mark on RT than they used to. We know reviewers love to get swept up in the cultural zeitgeist, it worked to Marvel's favor for the past decade, but it may now be turning against them
Cuz yeah, the idea that this movie was of a similar quality to The Dark World is totally ridiculous, imo
Love And Thunder now has the same RT score as The Dark World:
Because it commits the "sin" of being largely its own thing about its own stuff, probably. I mean, think about it: how much attention was paid to Eternals and MoM based on a hope that they would introduce mutants?
Its been awhile a superhero film got such mixed reviews.
I can say I enjoyed Dark World more. Loki, Cap cameo, Frigga funeral were all much more memorable than anything in L&T.Love And Thunder now has the same RT score as The Dark World:
Down to 64%.
