Good ones are like Denis Villeneuve!=p Not to mention, Thor 2 was already a low bar so any director who mostly made decent to great stuff would had a far better chance than a not so good director.

Im glad that Marvel let Taika go ham and do his thing.

Subpar Spatula has already chimed in. What does Ahasverus have to say about this abomination of a film?
Sounds great!
So glad they let Taika do his thing, just a shame they didn't let Edgar do his
yup still salty about that

If every comic book movie tried to be like Logan we'd be back in the early 2000s
I'd bet they get Wright back at some point now that the committee is gone.
Needs more Christ allegories.
Oh no thats a bad Miek, but who cares I am hyped as fuck
They are till they aren't.
Taika haven't directed a movie I didn't liked yet, and it looks like it will keep that way
It could be because Ike Perlmutter isn't involved in Marvel Studios anymore. Now Kevin Feige just reports to Disney.
I'm down with it. The best Marvel movies so far have been ones that embrace the the oddity of the situation like GOTG or IM3.
Only one I felt that did the serious story right was WS. Hell, best parts of the OG Capt. America was the first half.
Also, Tessa gonna be eating.

After Guardians actually
That went above expectations after people got tired of them rehashing Avengers. Therefore they take for granted that any Marvel movie that doesn't feel like Avengers all over again is "way more than a comic book movie". Last year you had Doctor Strange at like 100% RT while you had people saying stuff like "only movies like Titanic have gotten this kind of unanimous praise" or "I knew it just look at the trailers, it's not just a superhero film it's kind of like Inception and The Matrix" when Doctor Strange is actually one of the most average movies ever

Agreed, Dr. Strange was average as heck. Not sure why people hyped it so much. Maybe Cumberbunch hype?
But IM3 is one of the worst...

initial tripping-balls scene (outside of cumberbatch's tiresome yelling), mirror dimension stuff, time-rewinding setpiece are all pretty visually/conceptually neat but yeah the actual story and acting are garbo
You shut your porky mouth. Shane Black gave us the best film to grace the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If I was in charge of Marvel Studios I would have given Black the keys to Infinity War.

I would love it if every superhero movie had a Loganesque tone, but I never expected Thor: Ragnarok to be that once the trailers hit.
Hope one day the MCU movies will get in line with the Netflix aesthetic and tone. I'll be very happy when that day comes ^^

It's not even the best Iron Man movie.

Someone who gets it. IM3 ain't the best but it's definitely up there, movie is flames (no shitty extremis pun intended).
Kept forgetting Karl Urban is in this movie. Thing keeps getting better and better. Taika is a good time - What We Do In The Shadows was better than it had any right to be, and we're looking at the first good Thor movie now.

It ends on a really high note. That can do a lot for people in terms of excusing its extremely rote plotting.
It really was the worst. Absolutely hated the direction.
And Iron Man is my favourite character of the MCU.
Kinda of missing the common link here.
Because they all star Jeff Goldblum?

Yeah well I need to wait to see what my boy has to say about it before I buy a ticket.
I'll also not tolerate IM3 slander. It's a top 5 MCU film.

High note or low bar?
You liked Avatar, didn't you?

Iron Man 3 is Top 1.

Dude stank in it. Maybe if they let him keep his accent he might have been alright. But what we got from his lead character was a bad impression of Dr. House if he got superpowers
I can't imagine this is the dude that is gonna replace stark as the Avengers lead when RDJ leaves
I want it to be known that I don't want any part of this.

Well, yeah. Both Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 3 are top five. Avengers sure ain't.
He's pretty dull in Doctor Strange but I'll see how he is in other appearances. Most of these actors don't have the immediate appeal of a Hugh Jackman or RDJ. Like, some of these Thor Ragnarok impressions are saying Hemsworth finally found his groove and this is his fifth outing.
Plus, having Black Panther be the new face of the MCU would be better.
That ain't got shit to do with my point.

Iron Man 3 is the black sheep of the MCU. It stinks the place up.
It's the smell of true class, you peasant.
Cause you don't have one?

Dr Strange might be decent, but its forever tainted for me because I saw it on Election Day.

I was just thinking the other day, but remember the time that the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in over 100 years?
No, because Trump was elected president a week later.
