The Choc 1,578 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 With the exception of Iron Man 1, Guardians 1 and Cap 2 and 3 the Marvel movies are all just average. At least the ones I've seen. I haven't seen a few of the newer ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Wader 218 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Black Panther was weak and super derivative. Avengers = too much cheese, too many quips.Actually, those complaints apply to every Disney MCU film. Theyd actually apply to all of the MCU films. Disney have been pretty hands off MCU considering the sh*t ton of money its bad. There was literally no real change in the output when Disney took over, if anything they improved things but giving Feige more control. I don't mean Disney directly. I hate that shit. I'm just using them as the time the shift occurred. Not blaming them. Yeah that’s fair - just I didn’t think there was much of a shift, they’ve seemed fairly consistent the whole time. As Choc said, most are all pretty average. Though I guess the MCU do look a lot better considering just how badly DC dropped the quality post Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites
Jedigoat 366 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 The earlier Marvel films come across to me like the director has a lot more control and artistic freedom. That can get a film series in trouble, we all know, but watching a director's vision independently realized is far more satisfying than watching a 'boardroom of directors' movie, greenlighting the same origin story film every time for every character introduced.

Dark Wader 218 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 True, certainly seems to be the case with Ant-man/Edgar Wright. Link to post Share on other sites
Jedigoat 366 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 True, certainly seems to be the case with Ant-man/Edgar Wright. That would be a good point you make if he hadn't been shoved out and replaced. Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Wader 218 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That was my point, was agreeing with you - he was kicked out because he didn’t follow through on their demands etc. and wanted to stick to his own vision. Link to post Share on other sites

R.CAllen 697 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Feel like the following is the obvious joke about a film that's been delayed for three years based on a concept that's nearly thirty eight years old in a film franchise that is itself two decades out from the start but nevertheless — Old Mutants! They should've called the movie Old Mutants! (Also : they apparently managed to leap the hurdle of correctly spelling 'Sienkiewicz' in the closing credits but somehow goofed on 'McLeod'.)

Guest Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Middle-Aged Mutants? Link to post Share on other sites
Zathras 498 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 So I haven't researched it at all, but why isn't New Mutants in the MCU? Was it made before Fox was bought? Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,508 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yup. Feige's got his own plans for X-Men, but I'm sure they'd like to get at least a little return on this even if it doesn't fit. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,341 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It's not directly tied to anything. Like Deadpool, if it's a hit they'll jump it in. Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. Spam 1,840 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Anyone see it this weekend? Is it worth the Covid risk to see it in a theater? I like the idea of weird men in biohazard suits going into the theater to spray it down with AGENT COVID stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie 6,498 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I just finished it. Overall, my favorite X-Men movie. I loved that it was so different from every other superhero movie out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,341 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I need to get over being butthurt about not getting hired to write this. X-Men, horror content, 80s... it’s like it was meant for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie 6,498 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm sure you would've done a great job with it, but it's still pretty good as is. Link to post Share on other sites
