I haven't watched it yet. I may or may not enjoy it. I won't just let my sentiment for DC cloud my judgment. After all I condemned SHAZAM here even when everyone was praising it

I guess Winter Soldier did not just have the complexity and maturity of Shazam


Wow, comparing a CBM about an enhanced soldier to a CBM about children with superpowers.

Define risk. MCU Phase 1 was a risk. AntMan was a risk. GOTG likewise.


The MCU phase 1 was not a major risk. This is just a Disney formula that was introduced into marvel. Same thing was done into star wars. If you want to talk about risk, then you mention Sony's venom. That was a huge risk doing an antihero movie. I also agree that GOTG was a major risk.


I think Infinity War proves that being "monotonous" can be a strength more than a weakness. Otherwise, it should have flopped tonewise if all the characters being juggled were all tonally abstract from each other. See BVS for reference.

Lol, being monotonous is no strength as overtime people already know what to expect. That's why Disney has to add a dead and buried tony stark in a dead black widow movie because they are afraid that it might not do so well. That's is one of the disadvantage of being "monotonous" over time. As for BVS, we all know that it wasn't the best

In as much as the MCU has a formula, i could still argue that,

First Avenger= war movie

Ant Man= heist movie (like Ocean's Eleven)

Winter Soldier= Bourne-esque spy film

Guardians= space adventure (like Star wars)

MCU movies in my opinion are various genres that just happen to be CBMs

At the end the so called spy, space adventure, war movie ended up being comedic. That's why they are now considered as theme park movies.

i support you for what they did to hulk. because i deserve a rematch with thanos angry angry

Am glad that you finally agree with me on this.

Hulk deserved a rematch with thanos in endgame, and even if he still gets beaten by thanos, he would be regarded as strong and brave and not regarded as a coward.

Unfortunately, Disney had other plans

Vic2Ree:

Did you by chance read the original 60s Hulk comics? Ragnarok's version of Hulk was easily the best film version to date. A lot of people loved him. The way he started punching himself in the quinjet was kind of emotional to be honest. It was if Banner and Hulk were punching themselves, a great way to relate to Stan Lee's original ideas surrounding one's self worthlesness.

At the end of the day, to each his own. But its pretty weird to take one person's opinion as justification for the supposed objectivity of yours. It's called confirmation bias.

Okay

My apologies if the comparison irked you. I'm just bored of every Joe talking about the "MCU" and I'm just wondering what the "DCEU" has done that makes it any more better.

Like I said, you have to define risk. Marvel in 2008 had only their unknowns to make movies with. Just look up on the history of the first Iron Man. Not to mention RDJ was one of the most derided actors at the time.

being monotonous is no strength as overtime people already know what to expect.
Homecoming wasn't much different tonally from other MCU films. But no expected the Vulture to turn out as Liz's dad.

At the end the so called spy, space adventure, war movie ended up being comedic.
So? That's just a recurring feature. It's still different genres or inspirations.

A movie where the actor played the character to perfection that you would even begin to believe the actor is crazy for real,a movie that will question your psychology,a movie that systematically and slowly depicted a perfect decent into madness is what you say is overjoyed...

1. hahaha is hulk smart before?

2.1. Drax was not popular before GOTG, but now he is popular, so Disney did not destroy his character
2.2. Thor popularity and comicbooks sales has increased after her movies. so Disney did not destroy his character.
2.3. Thanos became the best villian ever before of infinity war and endgame. so Disney did not destroy his character
2.4. Spider-Man this must be a joke undecided, so Disney did not destroy his character
2.5. Loki another joke, so Disney did not destroy his character
2.6. etc, so Disney did not destroy his character
Hulk was not smart, but he was not stupid either.

Did you just say Thanos is the best villain ever? grin cheesy

OK. If you say so.

This is as a result of Sony's idea NOT Disney. Disney rarely do such
I'm pretty sure the 2015 contract required that Disney had FULL creative control over Spiderman films in the MCU while Sony handled distribution. Do you have evidence that a Sony executive initiated that plot twist?

Anyways, what of Nick Fury's appearance at the end of Iron Man? Or Thanos at the end of Avengers 1?

I am glad you agree that it is a recurring feature. When something/feature reoccurs, it is also know to be repetitious which still means monotonous and buttress what I have been saying
I still fail to see how any of this is bad though. Humor is a very trivial detail in MCU films. If anything, it has only kept fans more engaged with the subtle references, easter eggs and whatnot.

I guess that answers the question then. You're clearly not a fan of the Hulk. But if that's the case, how then do you judge his portrayal in the movies as being bad if you're not too familiar with the source materials?

So the hulk of avengers could not be controlled?

The hulk in Ragnarok was mindless?

You seriously need to check what the meaning of mindless beast is.

Thanos is nowhere near the greatest villain of all time. Even Dr Doom and Norman Osbourne is better villain than someone obsessed over a woman in the marvel universe.

Cheap copy of Darkseidgrin grin grin grin

So because other actors have performed as good as phoenix did in this movie automatically means that the movie is overhyped..can you hear yourself?

Bring yourself out of your body and listen to yourself...

Wow factor grin grin the movie is R-rated bruh if you can't understand R-rated movies and grasp important captivating stuff then don't watch it....nobody gives a fvck about your own opinion either even the movie critics are eating their words so who the fvck are you?

According to wikipedia, Sony retains creative control over spiderman movies NOT disney. You can check out the attachment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Homecoming

Anyways, what of Nick Fury's appearance at the end of Iron Man? Or Thanos at the end of Avengers 1?
And it was getting predictable because we all knew that Nick fury will appear at a point. Thats another disadvantage of being monotonous.

There is nothing wrong with humour, and i undersatnd MCU needs humour to keep fans happy, but making everything a joke or humorous is an issue.
