Liiviig 1998 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 53 minutes ago, THUNDER BIRD said: MCU was so successful because how casual or east, even something as outrageous as GOTG was simplified. Now it's just a comic book coming on screen and believe me majority of audience haven't even read a single Marvel comic me including, we are MCU fans, not Marvel fans. I enjoy MCU "MOVIES" and currently not only that's way too much of content overload, I also don't have any idea wtf is going on. So yes - Comic Book movies can become too much Comicy current phase 4 is going through a an ordeal of too many cooks in the broth/kitchen. so much is happening esp in the tv shows and its starting to muddle continuity. loki had lots of contradictions to continuity set up by the infinity saga and sets up its own rules which it then ignores . Actors and acting are still fine but the writing and worldbuilding have started getting. MCU build its reputation on a consistent well constructed interconnected universe and its starting to sway from that . I see that fiege and team are trying to shake it up in diversifying content but it all feels dis jointed and rushed , i can see lots of nuggets of good potential storylines but they are figting with too many mandates to come out efficiently. MOM is my favorite phase 4 movie but even i have to admit i was puzzled at how much it fails to reconcile with wandavision. MCU s biggest problem is disney plus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMisfits Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 OT: Since TMobile gave me a free year of Apple TV this week (suggestions for shows/movies?) and already gives me Netflix (mostly) and Paramount Plus (til Nov), I am deciding to drop HBO Max for awhile in July (only so much I can watch this summer). So, I'm clearing my HBO Max view list. Last night, I watched Death on the Nile, and I get why it didn't really go anywhere - the movie itself didn't really go anywhere. It laid there with easy twists you see coming and just drags in the middle (I actually fell asleep and had to go back to the scenes)... I'd say it's a C+ movie - maybe B- if I'm charitable, just b/c it is a mystery. and those can be hard, even with book material... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be almost in line with CW 9M Wednesday. I am expecting a slightly better number. Around 9.1M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's why the clubs were made. So people can talk about anything about Marvel or other franchises to their heart's content. Maybe it was a poor idea in hindsight to have it in their own little tab away from the boards, but it's not like people can't click on "Clubs" in the top right and kick off a discussion there. We also already have individual Marvel movie/show threads that typically go into a general Marvel discussion at points, and we have a general Disney thread people can traverse if they just want to talk about the state of the MCU. It is a Disney franchise, so it totally fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
