Jimmy Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Seems like we have a properly established timeline for the next few movies at last. I'm really interested to see how well they do with Shang-Chi and the introduction of the "Ten Rings" as a whole into MCU. Eternals has generated quite some happy because of the star-cast bill.

Jason Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The Eternals trailer has finally dropped: Doesn't give much away but it has me interested, definitely remains my most hyped Marvel film right now. Unlike a lot of the adapted MCU stories and characters there's a ton of leeway and room for freedom with the Eternals as no one has ever really nailed down a consistent tone and theme for them, so I really don't know what to expect which is nice. Hoping they're holding back on the Celestials too, I need my live action cosmic entities Feige. NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The first episode was a bit of a slow burn and obviously setting things up, but it was brilliant, it opened up the MCU to all sorts of wacky comic stuff, I was a bit worried about this being a different Loki to the one we know, but they've eased those concerns quick. The production value here is also pretty insane, we've really hit hollywood production in TV now. NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 WandaVision was great. TF&TWS was great. So the fact that Loki wipes the floor with the pair of them should tell you how bloody good it is. Episode 4 was a belter, can't wait for for the final 2 episodes now. Also (major spoilers)... Spoiler There's one more piece of the Young Avengers puzzle, Kid Loki. Also it's pure speculation right now, but man oh man have they lined it all up to introduce Kang perfectly... NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I just saw Black Widow. It's a dull movie that shouldn't exist. Considering the fact that it's a prequel for a dead character, it's not like they could do anything interesting with it. But it seems like they chose to do the least interesting thing possible. Nothing about this movie works. There's never any tension, nothing ever feels like a life or death situation. Every action scene feels like bad choreography because you know exactly what's going to happen every step of the way. Character development is nonexistent, the plot is irrelevant and the forced Disney humor is more obnoxious than ever. In fact, it actively gets in the way of the movie. It is perhaps the primary reason why this movie sucks. Just when the characters are about to have a meaningful conversation, when there's a hint of some kind of emotionally charged scene and character development, they f*ck it up by forcing that signature bad Disney humor right into the scene, thus ruining it completely. And it happens again and again and again throughout the movie. Also the villain sucks and the fact that most characters speak with fake Russian accent makes everything seem even less serious. Especially since at the start of the movie most of them speak with perfect f*ckin' English. Unless you absolutely have to watch every Marvel movie, I'd say it's safe to skip. It adds nothing to the MCU and it's just a waste of time. Edited July 8, 2021 by Yokelsson Target13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMacLeod Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Just finished Black Widow and I liked it well enough but it had some pretty massive flaws. It felt like old school MCU where it was just a dumb action-comedy that happened to have some comic book characters in it. The kind of movie that's perfectly entertaining if you just shut your brain off and go with it, but falls apart if you take a second to think about. Spoilery character criticism follows: Spoiler Red Guardian and Yelena's personalities don't make any sense. Guardian goes from being a seemingly genuinely caring father and kind of a bad ass to essentially what Homer Simpson would be if he was a Russian caricature. And, yeah, I get it, 20 something years have gone by but it's heavily implied that he spent the bulk of that time in a Russian prison. If anything, his experiences should have made him harder, meaner, and more cynical, not softer, dumber, and more "comical". Yelena's kinda similar in that she spent the bulk of her life being mentally reconditioned and turned into a trained assassin or chemically mind controlled but as soon as she gets free of it, she's all jokes. Where did she develop that sense of humor? Basically, the two characters in the movie with the most humor also had the most traumatic lives. I liked both actors, though, and they were both entertaining and not nearly as annoying as the humor of older MCU movies. I just wish they could have found a way to make them make sense within the context of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthYENIK Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I liked it. It’s ten years too late, but it was a good Marvel single hero movie. I definitely would have leaned more into the spy aspect and make it like a full blown espionage movie a la Bourne. But it’s dumb to hate on a movie for my own expectations being different. There’s still some fun stuff in it, and I’m happy to finally see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I honestly just have no excitement for it at all, it came too late for that for me. I come from the comics where I adore the comic/multiverse stuff, so with the MCU now just starting to dabble in that has me really excited so a classic phase 2 style era MCU film just does nothing for me. I'll watch it at some point, but I'm way more excited for the Loki finale this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileshKumar Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 What was the finale episode Spoiler This was so analogous to Infinity War, Thanos (Kang) thinking that he does the right thing.

Jason Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Well, Loki is an absolute must watch show if you care at all about the MCU. Not only is it good, it's game changing for the MCU. Spoiler And after all that blue balling with the teases for him and despite people saying they wouldn't introduce him in the final episode cause it makes no sense, they only went and did it, and they did it brilliantly, they didn't even have to name him in the show once. Everyone knows who he is now. The multiversal war being real and all being because Kang's a power mongering son of a b*tch is perfect. Really really looking forward to seeing how this plays it out in the MCU. Love that these shows can have such a gigantic impact on the MCU as a whole, something that was sorely missing in the old supposedly MCU shows (AoS etc). A TV show just set up the MCU's next major villain man. NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I wish I knew what some of you are smoking if you think that ANYTHING post End Game is good. I'll grant you that Spider-Man: Homecoming was decent, but it's still seriously flawed compared to most earlier movies. There's a lot more to storytelling than production value and CGI. Each of these Marvel shows has been nothing short of writing and storytelling disaster and character catastrophe. Loki especially. I've never seen someone misunderstand and disrespect an established character to such a degree as what these imbeciles have done with Loki. Not to mention insulting the audience's intelligence. But hey, if most people like it, I guess they didn't insult anyone. I just overestimated people'l critical thinking ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 As someone who has seen a billion different versions of Loki in the source material this show is based on, not only is the show bang on f*cking accurate, it's also pretty tame for him. They could go way, way further lmao. Speaking of misunderstanding and misuse though, the phrase "critical thinking", that's gotta be up there with "literally" as the most misunderstood/misused word or phrase of the last decade. darthYENIK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, yeah, I can very easily say that each show/movie post Endgame has ranged from good to great. Third, I find the notion that each show has been a “writing and storytelling disaster and character catastrophe” to be frankly hogwash, in many respects, especially compared to many (and I do mean MANY) comic book LA projects in the past that that would actually apply to.

The only Loki that matters here is the MCU Loki from The Avengers and all the previous movies. You know, an established character with a pretty well developed personality. And they changed that personality. In fact, they decided to ignore it and to ignore his character development up until The Avengers. Loki has been reduced to an absolute idiot in this show. He has gone from a smart and formidable villain with a clear vision and who's actions and decisions are always calculated, to an illogical cretin who can barely form a coherent thought or fight his way out of a wet paper bag. MCU Loki and Disney+ Loki might as well be completely different characters. On 7/15/2021 at 8:00 PM, Dbzk1999 said: First, it’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Is this The Guy? Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Looks like MCU fatigue has finally kicked in for me. Although I really enjoyed Wandavision I can’t bring myself around to finishing Falcon and winter soldier and even though I really want to watch them I can’t bring myself around to start Loki or get out to watch Black Widow either. I have absolutely no interest in watching the Eternals at all. I’m probably going to take a break from any and all MCU until the next Spider-Man comes out.

What are you talking about, “they changed that personality” or “ignore his character development”? The very first 2 episodes of the series clearly continues off that personality NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 By far away my most hyped Marvel movie/show since Endgame, trailer looks great and they've nailed the look for the live-action Celestials.

Lonely-Martin Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I found The Falcon and Winter Soldier a bit boring/underwhelming to be fair. As the show went on, I was tuning out more and more. I never really cared about the characters beforehand as nothing more than sidekicks and the show didn't increase that like what WanderVision did much more. That show made me laugh but also care more about both Vision and Scarlet Witch. Loki was ok, but it's not a character I fully enjoy either so was hard for me to care, and I found Owen Wilson really hard to care about, even watch in that show. I liked the 'Cyberpunk/Blade Runner' looking episode though, great looking ep. Not seen Black Widow yet, I do like the character (and the actress playing her, wink wink). Plus I don't mind getting a story from before Endgame etc. But I'm not touching a cinema for a long time it seems, and I'll not pay 15 quid to rent when I can spend the same in a couple months and own it on disc. I'll wait but look forward to it though. I hope The Eternals gives the franchise a bit of oomph though to be fair. Reading above when another mentioned MCU fatigue above, it is something I can see happen. Especially for the more casual viewer, of which I'd say I am really as I never read these comics - Though I am and always have been a comic book movie fan of course, I've only read Sin City and The Simpsons comic, lol. Just easy to see there's too much and get overwhelmed or lose track to the point of just giving up as other shows/movies come out. Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff, but with the way it's going and splitting between cinema and streaming, I can see myself lose track of things easier as I don't remember to watch the latest thing asap, plus I can't stand watching these series 1 episode a week so end up waiting until the series is complete then watch, naturally being active on the web, it's near impossible not to get the odd spoiler. I gave up with Agents of SHIELD for example as I just lost track and didn't fancy rewatching it over. I hope I can keep up, but there's so much good entertainment and my wide range makes it harder. For instance, I've got the new Bond coming, Candyman, A Quiet Place II, and Halloween and more that I know will demand my attention asap too. I'm really excited to see them that this stuff just ends up on the 'it'll wait' pile. New Venom looks good though. But Tom Hardy rarely fails to entertain, so that's a sure thing. Sorry for the ramble. Edited August 20, 2021 by Lonely-Martin Autospell mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
