Fair points. I haven't seen it, but I imagine it's likely the script is still at fault for Love & Thunder. Waititi's an overrated writer.
Shang Chi and No Way Home were good movies, and I personally liked Eternals.
Nah, that's not the problem. The problem hasn't been a greater sense of auteurism in the style and tone. The problem has been the scrips, which are still written by committee by writers chosen by Marvel.
Yeah, the two are not alike at all. Marvel stans will never criticize, Star Wars stans are always criticizing. Except with Rise of Skywalker. They refused to admit how bad it was.
Right, but I'm pretty certain Cinemascore & RT user score diverge all the time. On top of that, both have in the past diverged from the actual box office. As in, a movie with a low-ish Cinemascore has good legs and vice versa.
I think it's been so long since Batman & Robin people have forgotten what it looks like when you lean too heavily into farce/comedy/camp. Thor isn't Ant-Man or Guardians of the Galaxy, he oughta be taken a bit more seriously than what Waititi's been doing.
Have to disagree. The motor chase through Malta was well-done, so was everything from the plane eject sequence to the end of Claire swimming away from that giant ostrich thing.
