*The New Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[BoredGuy]

Whatever old man.

Now now, I don't think anyone here would qualify to be on a team called the "Young" anything

Man

all o' y'all

I quite enjoyed the Marvels, agree the villain was undercooked though. But I didn't find the idea of a multiversal portal to be shoehorned in. The idea of portals being ripped into the sky was all throughout the movie, so the idea that she would get the second bangle and inadvertently rip a whole to another universe made movie sense to me. The X-men stuff was clear fanbait though, surprised they didn't put it in the early trailers (which were terrible and a big part of the movie's box office problem)

Thor 4 is in no way better than Ragnarok. Ragnarok is pure gold. I give Love and Thunder some credit, because Portman was great, and honestly I still think its one of Hemsworth's best, most emotional performances. But any movie that so completely wastes an actor like Christian Bale AND a character as good as Gorr is a major failure. They should have chosen either the Gorr or Mighty Thor stories and focused on one, not both. IMO it should've been Gorr, with Jane's story in Thor 5.

And Shinobi, man, really, no love for Iron Man, even in the first movie?? It's still in my top 10, I'll watch Iron Man 1 any day of the week. It's the godfather of this whole thing.

Bruh, I love the casting for Tony Stark and Iron Man 1 is cool and all, but for real, the first MCU movie to REEEEEEEEEEAALLLY hook me was Captain America TFA. Cap 1 made me a real believer.

The Iron Man and Thor movies are cool for what they are, but I personally just like Tony and Thor better with the other Avengers.

Why would you "happily watch" an MCU movie that you also say was ruined by Marvel? If you liked it enough to watch it again, was it really ruined?

It seems like you want to have it both ways. "I like this movie... but Kevin Feige ruined it"

Why would someone watch something that they liked but then felt that it was meddled with?
Because such films are like life. And what do we all know about life?

 

[Babillygunn]

I'm gonna tell you guys a secret, but don't tell anyone.

I don't really care for the solo Iron Man and Thor movies. Only care for those two when they're in the Avengers movies.

I low key love the first Thor film. I don’t really know why, but I absolutely love it.

But Iron Man…Tony Stark can sit on it and spin…I hate that character.

 

[Chris B]

Yeah cuz half of 'em ain't that young
And if it's an ongoing series they really won't be that young lol

Trilogy titles:

Young Avengers
Middle Aged Avengers
Old Avengers

Shockingly he's considered an improvement over the comic version.

Man, what a waste of Pedro Pascal that movie is. Maxlord is so freaking good, and then the rest is so bizarre.

Kristen Wiig doing her best Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman and body swap shenanigans.

 

[Babillygunn]

I liked WW84 enough. I actually like Kristen Wiig quite a bit, as well as Pedro, even if that wouldn’t have been my take on Maxwell Lord. But basically making Diana engage in what can easily be argued to be sexual assault since Steve was in another guys body was certainly a choice.

The Thor solo franchise is a mixed bag. I liked the first film, TDW was decent, I didn't hate it put it that way.

Ragnarok I didn't really like initially although my stance has somewhat softened on it since.

Love & Thunder is unwatchable though, one of the few MCU film's I'm unlikely to ever revisit in a hurry.

I'll go to bat for Pedro Pascal in WW84 any day. I thought his performance in this scene was one of the few redeeming parts of that movie.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah I kinda feel like nothing was good about WW84.

It was nice to see Waldenbooks again though.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

It always annoyed me how they never called the character Wonder Woman in those movies.

He and his son is so so so good. This gets me every time:

Walden and Borders were my happy places man.

Kids today don't know. Or read.

I guess “Godkiller” has a nicer ring to it.


In all seriousness, I love the first WW movie. But that nickname always bothered me.

Barnes & Noble is making a comeback though! Not that big box retail chains are a great thing either but… at least it’s something.

If only people bought Nook tablets instead of Kindle!

That's the problem with the world today.

Bring back REAL ASS BOOKS. With paper and spines and cool bookmarks.

My bookmark game is still unmatched.

[Shinobi Shaw]

The Fantastic Four is going to kick everyone's asses this summer. I can feel it.

However, that trailer for the new Final Destination movie WAS EFFECTIVE. That screwed with all my anxieties, I can't wait to get traumatized watching that one in the theater.

But I digress.

 

[Ninjablade]

Staying away from the Final Destination trailers to go in blind. Those are good movies to be surprised by the deaths. Not sure if this one can top the last movie, but if it even comes close, that's a damn good film.

Still a top 5 greatest twist endings ever.

I'm not giving you any spoilers, but man I am still shaking.

Definitely going to see that one in IMAX.
