Just drop it man, you don’t owe them anything and they haven’t earned your time. The multiverse is such a boring concept to be made the foundation of these phases. Try other TV series, and books that are higher quality, and maybe older movies if there are some classics you haven’t seen.
No, it's like if Justin Bieber released 8 albums a year that all sold more than anything else and dominated the charts., blocking out all the other music, making producers stop making new interesting music.
It's definitely a struggle. Most of these new heroes pale in comparison to the OG Avengers. Shang Chi and The Eternals were both painful to get through. Haven't even bothered with Ms Marvel yet. Spider-Man has been the only bright spot and that's only because I watched the older Spider-Man movies as a kid. Even the plot in that movie was dumb and made Dr. Strange out to be an idiot. Someone take his powers away please.
Yeah, we all have different taste. The fact that a lot of people think Snyder is a very good director should make you think that maybe, MAYBE you don't like a lot his movies but we do. Just different opinion.
And it is seriously infuriating to read "he is so shit, he don't know how to make a movie etc..." Like their opinion is everything. Man I've never seen a director getting that amount of shit from random people.
I think Army of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, MoS, BvS and ZSJL were all freakin amazing.
Critically acclaimed won't happen because "oh dear Lord he didn't make Superman a boy scout from the start, he knows nothing and is an insult for DC" and "OMG Batman is killing!! Because I don't want character development and I don't like different ideas this is shit, booooh Snyder"
And when I seeManaByte who doesn't miss a single opportunity to write shit about his fans or his movies, even if it means reporting fake news, I just don't get it.
For example The Batman was long, quite boring, Pattinson is ABSOUTELY not convincing as Bruce/Batman and the story uses great scriptwriting facilities (seriously, Alfred is not dead? And Batman too when that bomb explose right in his face?) that nobody's talk about for some reason. Am I gonna go to every Batman thread to shit on the film or on Matt Reeves? Nah, I let people who enjoy it talk about it and don't care for the rest.
There is TONS of fans explaining why BvS (for example) talked to them, why they liked it and why it was so powerful. Just watch a video (agree or not is another thing of course):
Btw, BvS who is apparently a failure, made more money than The Batman... In fact with inflation, BvS would go over the billion mark. But, I don't see people reporting on that, or criticizing the box office of The Batman. Why?
Anyway I've seen DC with Snyder, and without him.
Well, please come back Snyder.
its gonna be a real slog then.
The fact that you had to take my words literally and explain that Marvel doesn't release 8 movies a year shows how absurd it is.
Some of the movies are great, some solid, some ok, and some terrible, but the way people gush over them is the same way girls gushed over boybands in the 90s, or the twilight movies, some of these movies are so cheap and silly yet people cry when they watch the trailers. It's overloading my cringe meter. It's like being around people who think ed sheeran is a sex symbol and taylor swift is badass.
What else? Between capeshit and china-pandering, hollywood has fallen from something that I used to care about to now it is like F tier entertainment, far below TV or video games. Yeah maybe they produce 1-2 movies a year I actually want to see, but that is far far far far below the amount of TV shows or video games that I want to experience.
TCM to the rescue.
I don’t think Marvel is to blame here but rather the rise of quality TV has made a shift in entertainment.
The fact that a company like A24 can make such crazy, batshit films (“a couple adopt a human-like lamb!” “Here’s some money!” “A middle aged woman getting audited is flung into the multiverse!” “You’re greenlit as well, have fun!” “A bunch of young people fuck and a sexually frustrated old lady decides to murder the shit out of them!” “I’m out of checks, is cash okay?”) and is doing just fine completely counters the naysayers who act like Marvel has total control over what films are made today. Like last year, was Dune like a MCU film? What about the horror films? No Time to Die? West Side Story? The Last Duel? The Green Knight?
It’s like anime fans who bitch about isekai, or moe back in the day. Yeah, 10-15 isekai anime come out a year these days….along with 200 other anime series in 2021, like holy fuck were we spoiled for choice, yet ignorant people be all, “there’s nothing to watch but isekai!” For fucks’ sake. And the movie industry is no different, tons of movies come out each month. If somebody honestly can’t find a decent amount to enjoy per year, I don’t think that’s the industry’s fault.
(to be clear, I’m not calling anyone an asshole, but the cynical part is mostly on point to me)
Besides, in terms of big films, one or two genres usually “dominate” throughout the decade. Westerns back in the day. Gun-based action films. Disaster films in the mid to late 90’s (the most uninteresting IMHO). This shit isn’t new. And superhero movies tend to be more diverse than those genres, I mean how many westerns are going to be in space or fighting in WW 1 or 2, etc.?
Same man same!
Some of them. Why does it need to make 150 million?
Secret Wars in one film
Listen, it's pointless to list a bunch of random movies. I don't have a comprehensive list of movies to compare to the Marvel era vs the pre-Marvel era, and neither do you. There is not much meaning in pursuing that angle.
I feel like both DCEU and especially recent MCU movies have huge plotholes, but seems like the DCEU movies just get a lot more internet hate. It's almost like the console wars where the Sony army is just a lot more effective in building up anti-MS sentiment and defending their own camp.
I mean Marvel is not solely to blame. China takes a big portion of the blame. The block busters need to be dumb enough that they can cross cultural boundaries. Comic book shit is definitely dumb enough. I'm sure if they could find a property even dumber than comic books (if such a thing even exists?) they would use that instead.
Could be split down the road into 2 parts.Secret Wars in one film
AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY Will Be Helmed By SHANG-CHI Director Destin Daniel Cretton!
San Diego Comic-Con may be over, but the big Marvel Studios news is still coming, as it's just been announced that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.comicbookmovie.com
Ehh I liked Shang chi but this is a pretty big gamble for marvel. Then again, they’ve been taking gambles on directors since the beginning and it’s payed off for them.
AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY Will Be Helmed By SHANG-CHI Director Destin Daniel Cretton!
San Diego Comic-Con may be over, but the big Marvel Studios news is still coming, as it's just been announced that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Again, why pick some random bad movie, and say it's worse than the MCU? Why are you talking about Underworld? I don't see the point, are you saying that these movies wouldn't be made today? that Marvel cockblock them?
sol_bad
and
ManaByte
to answer those questions?
The only Phase V shit I care about is Blade and Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3.
But is Blade going to be a movie or a streaming series?
I really hope it's going to be a movie so it'll have the quality of such but it more or less looks like it's going to be a series.
Did they ever say?
Where's our resident Marvel fanboys like
Edit: Agatha might actually be good. I like all the magic using stuff and I imagine cameos from Doctor Strange will show up plus I love the name Coven of Chaos. Plus, maybe Mephisto hint or two?
