Brainiac5 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 1 hour ago, JennaJ said: Yeah, Incredible Hulk and IM2 may look like comparative weak links in retrospect, but I don't remember anyone doubting the MCU's future because of them. the MCU didn't have a string of critical/WOM/Box office flops. Even the weaker movies were still generally well received. Nothing like the Dark Universe (which already had false starts with Van Helsing and Dracula Untold, even if we're not meant to act like those exist). Van Helsing was suppose to be part of The Dark Universe? I never knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the monsters are the heroes or protagonists then does that mean humans are the enemies / antagonist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will be a Suicide Squad situation, "monsters" against a Bigger Monster (if it ever happens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Tran Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It was after Iron Man 2 where I heard a lot of mixed reactions on the MCU. Thor was lukewarm, Hulk was meh and Cap was mixed although a lot of folks have changed their opinions on that one over the years. That said, Avengers was still something that literally everyone wanted to see and was excited for. The mixed reception obviously didn't hurt Avengers at all.

Or something unique for a change and let the monsters wipe out humanity, we root for the monsters to win since they are the protagonists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly because it was the first movie to do it. The mixed reception to some of the earlier installments was easier to forget because of that. Curiosity factor played into it. Fast-forward to now and franchise characters teaming up for the first time ain't nothing new, and certainly less impressive than it was, especially if their solo movies before that are turds.

People don't appreciate enough the fact that marvel went on with $230m budget avengers and then the success it got. This is also the reason why ca:tws and gotg success is so special. I think dark universe will continue, but they do need a iron man of theirs before they get to avengers. They'd already filmed Avengers by then. It was filmed in the Spring/Summer of 2011. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they have good reviews and WOM I feel the ceiling on team ups has been reached. I'm not saying "super hero fatigue" I'm saying these films need to be different than those that came before them. To be clear, I have Infinity War ~$425M and Justice League ~$300M, if JL has great reviews then $375M Edited June 14, 2017 by Johnny Tran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Whatever mixed feelings people may have about the actual films the MCU definitely nailed the casting of pretty much every superhero.
