The Naked Fun in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[DarthSkywalker]

I liked Yelena in Black Widow a lot. I liked that entire cast of characters. Easily the best part of that movie is that core group.

Yep. Blah script, but really enjoyable cast of characters.

 

[kguillou]

I really loved the first half of Black Widow, the half that felt like a female Jason Bourne movie. Then the second half kind of got silly and reminded you "oh yeah, I'm in a Marvel movie." lol

Thunderbolts* clip is nice. Tepidly interested because I can feel in my bones that Feige's worst instincts are going to ruin the back half of what'll be a really good first half of a film.

Makes me want to rewatch Hawkeye. Kind of crazy that that show singlehandedly saved Yelena for me, as I very much did not like her in Black Widow.

Hmm, a smart ass youngester who won't stop bugging their cooler older family member. Hit too close to home?

Based on some rumors that I’ve read of what happens in the third act, it’s not your typical CGI fest and I think everyone’s going to be pleasantly surprised.

Supposedly, it’s a pretty trippy sequence of characters entering The Void and confronting their past traumas, and the short snippets we’ve seen in trailers we’ve seen of Yelena crashing through one wall and then falling into what looks like a room at a Black Widow academy and Bucky hitting a person in a chicken suit with Bob standing in the background are most likely part of that.

They really are trying to do something different with this film.

Since when are my older family member cooler than me?

Red Guardian was the only bright spot of that film, but I'm not going to continue to go down the road of how much I hate that movie. NB is trying to be more positive these days

Even ripped off Darth's talking in the third person.

[SwordOfMorning]

Not a movie that really winds up working but it is deeply funny watching Florence Pugh completely steal the movie from Scarlett. Just a wild upstaging at every turn.

 

[Chris B]

Thunderbolts is still my dark horse. I'm not expecting it to do gangbusters at the box office but I think it'll surprise everyone quality wise.

I'm hoping it's good. It has a lot of characters and actors I rather enjoy. But every time I see a trailer/tv spot it reminds me the third act is going to Marvel. And I'm so tired of those kind of third acts.

Same. I'm hoping they do something different since this particular team line-up can't go mano o mano with the Sentry in a fight.

 

[squeekness]

Eternals was the only MCU film I hated. It was beyond dull.

I feel the same. What a waste.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah Eternals felt like a punch to the gut, especially with all the talent involved. Great director, great cast and it was all just squandered on a mediocre movie. It was like if the entirety of Ocean’s 11 was spent putting the team together.

I know a lot of people hate Love & Thunder and Multiverse of Madness, but I mostly had fun with those movies (the latter more than the former). But Eternals was just a dull slog with so many characters that I felt nothing for any of them and I saw the plot twists coming a mile away. Such a disappointment.

I really like Love and Thunder. I love Madness.

I know Eternals, The Dark World, Iron Man 2 and Brave New World are generally on the lower tier of the MCU for most people but none of them are as embarrassing as Quantumania.

Same reaction to when Sam married a woman.

He saw that and was like "To hell with this, I'm getting on a boat."

Fair. On the flipside, only Quantumania has Newton.

[Mysteryman]

Remember when Marvel's worst was The Dark World.

For me that was ,THIS MORNING!

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Quantumania is hands down the worst MCU movie.

How a movie that had so many interesting actors in it, fun characters and so much potential and just end up the way it ended up was just astonishing. So boring and so...



And on the contrary: I still very much like Ant-Man & The Wasp. I'm sorry but that movie had heart and it was fun.

 

[Sithborg]

Ant-man 2 is a 90 minute movie stretched to 2 hours.
