The MCU thread

Grew up with the 90s cartoons (X-Men, Batman, Superman) and read enough comic books, so would have been let down even if these movies were good.

I firmly believe that the MCU is the Star Wars of our time. There's a lot of memorable movies to come about the past 10 years. A lot will even be remembered by minorities of the film-watching public. Decades from now a ton of nerds will remember the Dark Knight trilogy and how it was a lot better than the DCEU(or not. Opinions differ). The Martian will be a favorite among NASA fans. Folks will vaguely recall that a movie about a deaf girl banging a fishman(A Shape of Water) won best Picture at the Oscars.

But even the folks who go to the theater once a year will know about the Avengers and the MCU. They won't know all of the heroes, certainly not by name. Chances are that they'll only have seen a few of the movies, and not in any particular order. But they will know who Iron Man and Captain America, the Hulk("He has a non-Hulk version, too. That doctor guy. Bill Banning or something") and maybe Thor("That guy with the long blond hear and the hammer. Played by Chris Whatshisname") are, and that they killed some generic aliens on a soundstage that was supposed to be New York.

I'm astonished how good these films have gotten. They're not just superhero flicks anymore. They cross genre boundaries. Thor: Ragnorok was practically a comedy, complete with slapstick. The Guardians movies are musicals, complete with a Mary Poppins cameo and Footloose references. Ant-Man was a heist movie. Captain America: Winter Soldier was a political thriller. Thor: Dark World was.... something. The point being these movies cover a lot of bases. And taken as a whole they're a cinematic achievement that sets a high bar. It'll be interesting to see how long this superhero shchtick lasts. I thought it would last a decade, tops. I was so, so wrong. Given how great Infinity War was, I'm glad.

My MCU order, for the record.

Avengers (Civil War and Infinity) related and other stuff. No infinity spoiler (or maybe minimal ones!)

I need to see how much 4 reverses time. I know where getting Spidey 2 and BP2. I just hope that all that emotion we felt wasn't pointless with the ending. Some of that emotional payoff needs to be there when you go on a MCU binge by the time you get to Infinity War. Otherwise, it doesn't mean that much in the end. Right now Civil War is my favorite. With Infinity War being 2. That being said, the culmination of 10 years of buildup. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

I think it’s a safe assumption that the “dusted” group mostly if not entirely gets reversed, with the ones done in by Thanos’ own hand staying dead, as they really should be. There’s one particular character I want to stay dead and simply never return, even though I liked them. The post-credit scene seems to hint at the ace up their sleeve in the follow-up film, but I really hope they don’t ass-pull their way all the way to the start of the film. I’d prefer they just stick to what happens at the finger-snap. 

But yeah, as of now, I’m in love with how they ended it. I just hope it keeps this momentum. 

Honestly I think the best way to get out of what they did at the end of Infinity War, IE reverse what happened, is to include their own sacrifice at the end. Sacrifice one of the surviving Avengers in order to give another one of the Avengers the opprotunity to 'fix' things. That way you can get the emotional cost. Only death can pay for life, etc etc etc. Hell this also plays into the whole thing too considering sacrifcing themselves is something the Avengers were adamant about not doing in Infinity War to begin with.

Anyways:



Also this:

You have a point, the superhero genre is definitely very diluted. 

I take the good with the bad, & IMHO the bad Marvel movies have been pretty rare. Also, those are all LEGENDARY action flicks. Back in the day, when filmmakers had a SPINE

That compilation is missing my favorite Winter Soldier scene, Steve's chase of Winter Soldier:

And you said a few threads back that Manners are of great importance to you uh calling everyone ( also everyone at the Marvel studio i assume ) who likes/love the Marvel movies cocksuckers is not really talking of great manners.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW. YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
