When people complain about “aimless” or “no direction” they’re basically admitting King Kevin trained them too well.

Yes, that’s literally what people said

People endlessly complain that Marvel constrains it's directors too much but then immediately complain when said directors get to do what they want?

Are people complaining about too much Waititi in here?

[Borobudur]

74% score with 7.0/10 average rating? I can tell a small group of passionate positive.

I've only skimmed the reivews, but is that the actual complaint here?

[eXtacy]

7.0 average rating suggests its % more likely to go up then down on RT

 

Mom had a 6.5 average with 78%

[Lucas]

74% & 6.8/10 average with 65 reviews now.

 

EDIT: MoM was at 82% at this point.

People complained about things with Eternals, Strange, and now Love and Thunder about specific things that the directors do a lot in their other films.

That would be Collider. They said the movie wasn't perfect in their review, and then gave it a perfect 100 score on Meta Critics.

It's all about the final product. Phase 4 has tried to be more creative but the excution is what matters and in general it's been lacking.

I haven't seen any of them but audience reception felt in line with critics for the first two.

 

I don't think anyone can claim critics are hard on MCU films generally. They treat them as the entertainment products they are.

Thor Ragnarok minus China/Russia/CIS  made $718m, how much higher can this one go?

Should be similar to MoM, in the end.

Just because directors have more "freedom" does not automatically mean the movie is inherently good or better. And frankly, while I liked Strange 2, the big issue with that movie, is that I wish Raimi had more freedom and a chance to have more of an auteur vision with the title.

Similar Dom, thinking weaker OS. 800s

I mean are critics supposed to say the movie is good if they didn't think it was simply cause a director got more freedom? Ultimately the end product is what matters not how you get there

6.8 now .

 

Score always start high then drop, the best I can see it is stabilizing around 75%

So Ragnarok + inflation - closed markets WW. Blah. Oh well, I already know this’ll be my kind of film but it’s unfortunate that the expansion phase of the MCU is over.

not sure why Thor 4 should make as much as MoM. That movie felt way more hyped
