#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Ok... It should be noted that Apocalypse in this film has the exact same plan as Ultron did. Destroy the Earth and build a new one in its ruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,020 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's true, yeah. But Ultron has a benefit of service twofold purpose: establish himself as a manifestation of Stark's destructive ego (thus making him a villain) and being yet another attempt to destroy Earth by Thanos. Apocalypse just wants to destroy because... reasons. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 You seem to be overanalyzing these MCU films. Just you seem to find deep insights in Civil War, a film that is more on the fence then any one of these so far.... Perhaps Alex is right about you?

crocodile 8,020 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I like Marvel films because they're good products, always reliable. Like McDonalds. And they seem to be made with respect for original material. They do talk about some serious stuff sometimes (for better or worse) but they never asked to be "taken seriously". They're always fun. Civil War was good because it's well paced, well told film that made me care about whatever might be happening on screen. I don't dislike Apocalypse and Batman v Superman because of some external "Marvel love" factors. I grew up with all those characters (reading comics since the age of 6). They're just not very interesting and/or well told films. In other words, I was bored watching them. Didn't seem like they presented a complete and relatable world that would make any sense to me. Bryan Singer made three good X-Men films but it seems he's got nothing else to say, other than making it bigger and repeating himself. Characters have no arcs anymore. Magneto's story ends with the end of first act. After that, he's merely a plot device. Apocalypse is neither scary nor interesting. And Jennifer Lawrence is just plain bored, now just rehashing her The Hunger Games role for no reason. Enjoyable bits and pieces here and there, sure. But that won't do. It's not even that terrible, just really flat. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,020 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 X-Men was a much more restrained and character-based film. It wasn't as cartoony as Apocalypse. That's why it doesn't bother me. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Magneto has one, but otherwise you are more or less correct.

crocodile 8,020 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Look, I'm not saying the film was terrible. It was entertaining in parts. And yeah, it feels more like comic book X-Men than ever. But I'm more used to a more grounded version that Singer established with his first two films. So this one felt really overstuffed and underdeveloped.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 True, in that was it resembles Civil war and BvS. Who would have figured Deadpool to be the best superhero flick this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it sends the wrong message to a certain group of people. If we constantly see images of perfect people we start to believe that it is the norm. If we constant see images of women being harassed and ... well you know what I am getting at. In my city we have a campaign on TV (and with posters in the streets) about women-friendliness informing people that in we have a certain code of conduct towards women.
