OT: All things Marvel/MCU (Spoilers)

[Amorgus]

Thor Dark World was the worst. Black widow is right there, although I think that movie just suffers more from being released 8 years too late. 2014ish...it would have been fine. Just anti climactic to have the the main protagonist already dead in MCU and a guy in a floating city as the big bad when we just dealt with Thanos. Underwhelming.

If you want to champion the artistic styling of Strange 2, ok sure, certainly unique to the MCU there.

Spoiler

I think it's mainly Wanda's story I didn't like with Dr Strange 2. She got Daenerys Targaryened with her under developed heel turn. Also...what's up with 838 Mordo...no story advancement there. And no other cameos from any other heroes, for a sequel...I'd hope for more.

Spoiler

Wandavision already Targaryened her. You really can't come back from enslaving a whole town, especially with the Darkhold in her hands at the end of the show. By the time she started slaughtering people I was glad they had the balls to go to with what I thought SHOULD happen.

Plus we got the first glimpse of Reed Richards, 90's X-Men Xavier (!!!), a chance for everyone to point and laugh at Black Bolt after his crap show got cancelled, and at the end Clea shows up from the Dark Dimension to sting the sequel.

yea in Wandavision she went down the I'm the bad guy, this is wrong, ok I'll stop and try to heal. And basically, repeated the exact same pattern in Strange 2 like no lessons learned. Half measure storytelling. Should of had her lose in WV, but be full heeled, or just have the bigger bad manipulating her in DR 2. They've done better...the rest of the chars, (aside from Clea) are just 838 throwaways...

Visually, it's probably good to see in the theater.

I thought new Dune was a whole different level in the theater vs at home.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Out of all of the MCU movies it was certainly one of them.

 

[Rebels57]

Finally saw Multiverse.

I have A LOT of thoughts.

Overall I liked it a lot. I thought the plot was fantastic, but the execution was inconsistent. Lots that I loved, some that didnt work.

Didnt help that the sound quality in the AMC theater I saw it in was ass. It was way too low and only playing in Stereo. Seemed like someone f***ed up a setting on what A/V Receiver they are using. I almost got up to complain and wish I did. Never felt "immersed" because of it.

Spoiler

Super pumped to have Krasinski as Reed Richards and the X-Men now MCU confirmed via Stewart's Xavier

I think I'm one of the few who thought it was nice Krasinski was Richards, but hope he isn't Earth 616's Reed Richards moving forward. I don't think Krasinski fits the role, truthfully. What do you think?

I absolutely want Krasinski as Reed Richards. I think hes perfect. Hoping Emily Blunt is Susan Storm as well.

My coworker finally saw it and also went nuts when the 90's X-Men cartoon theme started playing.

Aside from the questionable CGI which I hope they are going to fine-tune prior to release, I think it looks different and fun. Should appeal to more women and girls as well then some of the other series' so far, which makes sense consdering it's She-Hulk.

3/4 of the CGI in that trailer looks like it should be cut-scenes in a video game engine. I mean wow, the level was just not realistic at all. It's coming out in August? That's not too far away.

I'll take watching it on my calibrated 77" OLED over the Theatre and it's crap picture any day.

Yeah, it's gotta look better than that when the series drops or it's going to get torn apart online.

I think you need to go to better theaters lol

Don't get me wrong, they have me beat with regards to sound, but I'm a bit of a picture quality snob. My tv blows the theatre away even though it's far smaller.

 

[TB87]

The new Doctor Strange was excellent. They took the story EXACTLY where it needed to go (plot & tone-wise). Raimi clearly had a blast making this movie

 

[trostol]

short wait for Strange 2...coming to Disney on the 22nd

I'm hoping I like it more the 2nd time.

 

[Rebels57]

First episode of Ms. Marvel was really good. Can tell the team working on this is all-in creatively.

star wars needs to steal them then

I really think Disney/Marvel is doing itself a disservice by pushing out so much content. I am a big fan of most comics they put out but the movies/TV they put out not so much.

It's getting to be like what had me stop buying Marvel comics. I never bought them much growing up, didn't really have extra money to spend. When I was in college was when the first X-men movie came out and I graduated and there was a comics store maybe 2 blocks from where I was working so for a lot of my 20s I did buy comics. Then you had Civil War and that was when it really started where you had Marvel attempt to tie the cross-over events narrative into like dozens of other titles in an attempt to get those other titles read. Then Marvel continued that with like Secret Invasion, Annihilation, etc... and I think at that point for a time I read the comics online because there was like a good deal, but then that went away and I just stopped completely.

You can see it happening with Star Wars as well. There's something like 6 or 7 tv series/mini-series event things in production. Not including future seasons of Mando, Boba Fett? and the currently airing Obi-Wan.

Yeah. The comics I don't mind as much because it is more spread out and less of a time investment. Agree with Star Wars too, and with that it just seems like they are trying so hard to force the nostalgia stuff down your throat. The Madnolorian was epic...it didn't need Boba Fett or any other retreads. I can probably think of other examples too. I'm a sucker so I still watch (haven't seen Obi-Wan yet) but not everything has to tie into everything else.

I was fortunate enough to join an online viewing party of Morbius because nobody should try watching that shit alone and sober. What a trainwreck.
