GerateWohl 4,370 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Watched The Marvels the day before yesterday and, wow!, they managed to reach another lowpoint. What a piece of crap of a movie. The aim here was obvioulsy to make a "fun movie". But even "fun movies" must be taken serious by the makers to work as a story and a movie. They obviously feel more and more inspired by Scorseses theme park criticism. Oh theme park movies? Great idea! This wasn't a movie. This was a theme park ride. And not a good one.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The thing about these superhero movies of late is that they got lazy. Movies like Quantumania, Shazam 2, The Marvels, Madame Web, they were all lazily produced. Despite their massive budgets, their filmmakers didn't appear to be as worried with the quality. It's telling that Disney/Marvel execs thought they had a massive hit that audiences all over the world would love with Quantumania, only for the movie to receive godawful reviews and crash after its first weekend. I dunno, maybe superhero flicks were always that lazy but the hype around them was so huge that we were willing to ignore. Or maybe for each poorly produced blockbuster there used to be more critically-acclaimed ones but these days there aren't that many "great" movies to balance the crap. Or maybe it's both. Fact is: audiences are tired of lazily produced superhero blockbusters. If the genre is to survive, they'll have to produce more than Disney Channel-quality flicks like The Marvels or poorly done stuff like Madame Web.

Popular Post Tallguy 3,398 Posted February 20 Popular Post Share Posted February 20 Before Endgame there were several films considered the "lesser" MCU movies that were still among my favorites. The two Ant-Man films probably fit that bill. So I would be the audience member most likely to be OK with A-MQ. And it just made no impression on me. Same (on both sides of the fence) with Doctor Strange. i.e. Huge fan of the first film, really let down by the second one. (DS: Multi-Verse of Madness had a lot of things going against it that I felt Thor: Ragnarok did. This was almost certainly not where they were going at the end of the last film.) Another strike against DS was Wanda literally moving Heaven and Earth for her fictional kids but not a peep about Vision? WandaVision did everything DS was trying to do better. And then you had the Russo films that ran like a Swiss watch. The opposite of lazy. I still call Spider-Man: Homecoming the best Spider-Man ever. enderdrag64, Yavar Moradi, Once and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,398 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Ok. We loved The Marvels. Better than Guardians 3. Way better than Ant-Man Quantum Mania. It felt like a nice comfortable upper-mid level Phase 3 movie. Which my goodness how I've missed those! I think the thing that surprised me the most was that with the central gimmick being characters suddenly switching places that they managed to keep the geography of the scenes intact. I had a better idea of who was where than in some James Bond movies. (YES I'm still ticked off about Quantum of Solace.) Some of it felt like a Guardians movie without the bodily fluids. Sorry, but the song planet was one of my favorite things. Somehow when they were trying to save all of the Skrulls and couldn't it actually felt like a LOT of people were dying. I still need to finish Ms. Marvel, but Iman Vellani is charming as all get out. The two end credits spots are the most I've been excited for a post-credit scene since I can't tell you when. Glad I saw it. Sad that I didn't see it in the theater. Good grief, I spent more money on Ant-Man! I spent more money on Shazam! That's SO unfair. EDIT: Oh! The score! The score was OK. It's funny, Pinar Toprak's score was also OK, but it made more of an impression on me. And her theme was missed. If it was in the film someplace I didn't notice it.

GerateWohl 4,370 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 At least Moon Knight didn't have a completely failed ending like almost all recent Marvel movies and TV shows. Most recent Marvel content is better when you skip the last episode of the tv show or the third act of the movie (Loki and Ms. Marvel had ok endings, I think).

Nick1Ø66 4,718 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 All the MCU films are made this way. I mean, maybe there was a bit more freedom on the first few, but by and large they're all very tightly controlled, producer-driven films. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, it's worked very well for Marvel, and there wouldn't be the continuity they've had without it. There's a reason it's the only truly successful shard universe. They just used to be a lot better at it. Groovygoth666 and Edmilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what he meant with that, the thing that the MCU has done the most since its beginning is going outside what was established in the comic books... lol. Sometimes it works (Thanos and The Vulture are more interesting and complex than their counterparts in the comics) and sometimes it doesn't (like the horrendous take on the Taskmistress, I mean, Taskmaster). https://screenrant.com/mcu-characters-not-comic-accurate/ Though it would be interesting seeing Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds being brainwashed into becoming the Hobgoblin just to mess with Holland's Spidey, like what happens in the comics.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Note. The ONLY version of Shalla-Bal that was a Silver Surfer was in the Planet X/Univese X series, where she literally existed for a whopping 5 panels and a cover, had 2 lines of dialogue, and then was killed. She served exclusively to define the reasons why the real Silver Surfer did what he did in that storyline. She later shows up a few brief times in the Universe X storyline, but it is either brief flashbacks or in the Realm of the Dead where she meets the now dead Silver Surfer.

Jay 37,369 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 My guess is that this Fantastic Four movie will take place in an alternate dimension (just look at the buildings on that 4-4 Day card). During the course of the movie they'll end up in the main MCU universe and then stay there for all subsequent movies So maybe Julia Garner plays a version of the Silver Surfer in that orig universe that doesn't come over, and then someone else will play the main MCU Silver Surfer in a future movie. As an aside, I think that Julia Garner could make a pretty good Rogue for the MCU X-Men. MaxMovieMan and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
