I don't know if this is the year to open a thread about the Marvel Cinematic Universe... just think of the symbolic resonance regarding the vulnerability of our cultural totems and the affects it has on our psychological health because Marvel Studios hasn't released a movie this year.
THERE ARE NO HEROES IN 2020!!!
A year we can't consoom... a year where the only major Superhero movie was Birds of Prey... Can this nation, nay the world, ever recover?
Why do you not like spiderman?I've said this before; but after the first Avengers movie, none of the crossover films have interested me in the slightest. Even many of the solo movies were unwatchable; the only ones I really remember enjoying are the first Iron Man, the first Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Everything else? I could have done without.
Heck, I outright despise the MCU's version of Captain Marvel and Spiderman, and those two are supposed to play big roles in the next phase; especially now that the guy who played Black Panther is dead. Honestly, the only film I'm even remotely interested in is the next Doctor Strange, and I probably won't even watch that one.
Mostly because his portrayal deviated massively from what I want in a Spiderman story. I don't want teenaged Spiderman, I want young adult Spiderman; and the less said about the other characters in this particular incarnation of his mythos, the better (seriously, young and sexy aunt May is just downright disturbing to watch). He also doesn't come across as a character in his own right; merely an annoying side character from a bad Avengers movie that somehow got his own series of spin-off movies.Why do you not like spiderman?
And I will respect your opinions. Some of them were not thr best but I enjoyed them.
Eh Tom Holland does pretty good and all. He did a pretty good job as Spidey. Honestly they do the story of him pretty well and they don't make him like he is in the comics.Mostly because his portrayal deviated massively from what I want in a Spiderman story.

Actually, that's the worst part of the MCU, in my opinion. Characters aging and dying does nothing but lock out further story opportunities. And Tom Holland is pretty much the worst Spiderman I've ever seen; I just want to punch his character in the face and never stop.Eh Tom Holland does pretty good and all.

The thing the MCU does better then the comics is characters age and die and stay dead.
Well to a degree.
But every vollian that has died has stayed dead, every hero as well.
Why if I may ask? he is very similaiir to early stories of Spidey learning.Actually, that's the worst part of the MCU, in my opinion.

I never saw the Amazing Spiderman movies; their reputation was enough to keep me away. I also never saw Homecoming and Far From Home, so I suppose I can't comment on their quality. All I can say is that the trailers and clips I saw on Youtube did nothing to make me want to watch them, or endear Tom Holland's version of Spiderman to me.Honestly Andrew Garfeild and the Amazaing Spiderman movies are the worst ones I have seen. His Spiderman was whiny angst ridden mess with badly written movies and lacking a decent villain to play off of.
The frist two with Tobey Magiure are good movies but there is a reason that they never made a fourth.
But both Homecoming and Far From Home are strong movies. They manage to keep the more light hearted joking attitude that Spidernan has while fitting into the Wide MCU Universe.
I do admit that a young Aunt May is dumb and they could have easily had the more traditional Aunt May. It seems like the the only reason for a young Aunt May is for a few jokes about Strak hitting on her during Homecoming.
I mean...that is kinda like how Spidey is in the comics early in his career. Watch the movies they are pretty good, and the villain of the first movie became said villain for a good reason. The second movie is pretty good and introduces some new stuff that is pretty cool.He just comes across as rather annoying and superficial in that teenagery sort of way.

As for aunt May, they changed her for the same reason they radically changed everyone else in Spiderman's cast; to keep them out of the hands of Disney. Because of the contract they signed, Disney would be able to claim partial ownership of the film rights to any character (besides Spiderman) used in his MCU films; therefore, Sony created a bunch of knockoff versions so that they could maintain sole ownership of the rights to the original versions of characters like aunt May.
My problem with IM3 is how pointless it ended up being plot wise. Like Extremis had so much potential and yet nothing was done with it.
Captain Marvel was a fine movie on its own merits, but the marketing campaign for it was just offensive and how Marvel was treated in Avengers was shit.
Hulk, well haven't seen that in like a decade.
Well they are going off current comics and have Ms Marvel being Kamala Khan. That is why, as most younger audiences would wonder why Ms Marvel is white unlike the comics.Once I saw Pepper go extremtis without going nuclear I was kind of expecting (and hoping) that she'd be this universe's version of Firestar. IM3 could have had the subtitle "Missed opportunists."
Captain Marvel was a decent buddy cop film but that's the thing she's the straight man of the team that needs someone to balance her out. She can't hold a film on her own...and bri can't hold anything period. Frankly I wish they had gone with the ms marvel from the 80s and cast someone like Bridgit Mendler

Captain Marvel was not that bad of a movie, Bri just sucks at marketing properly.
She plays CM decently well and acts like stuck up CM
She has always been. Certain writers make her an ungrateful bitch, others actually do a good job. Recently she has been iffy depending on which book she is in and how is writing. her solo series is actually pretty good.I guess I'm an old soul but I reember the days when she was marvel's answer to wonder woman (and not frank millers version of wonder woman)
Am I the only one here that gives the marvel film an A- or B+? my two least favorite fims are the incredible hulk and IM3 and I thought only IM3 was outright bad. Incredible Hulk was just meh.
