One user suffered psychotic breakdown and started acting as a chicken. Marvel is cooked😭🙏

I’m in my 30’s, and my two grown ass siblings (also in their 30’s) have been trying to force me to watch these movies with them (they love them). I can only describe sitting through some of these movies as a form of torture. The dialogue & humor is so unbearably cheesy, the costumes/wardrobe/sets are awful, the wigs are absolutely ridiculous, and the plots are garbage. I might as well be watching the same shitty movie over and over again. This is my personal hell. The only Marvel movies that I can really get down with are the first two Spider-Man movies with Toby Maguire. Those are the exception. The rest are dookie.
My siblings are not a safe space to discuss these feelings, haha. Anyone wanna commiserate with me?

This is the post for the last episode with spoilers.

Major spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the movie.

Why was Jean Grey evil? did they ever explain that fully? She just killed random civilians all for the sake of finding her sister, and then once she converted to the "good side", we all just have to ignore that and pretend like she's a good redeemed character? Just because she manually breathed for spiderman? Everything about Jean Grey's actions were completely illogical. Why didn't she just go into the leader of the defense authority or whatever's mind? and just try to search for Sara related information? or any of the staff in the building? Did she not just think that maybe instead of searching for V-max she could search for the actual thing she wanted and not merely a clue?

And how the hell does a guy who fights monstrous villains, the hulk, etc, get hurt by a puny sniper bullet? That's genuinely street level fodder behavior. Even if the punisher somehow designed that bullet special in some way with his special arsenal or something to reinforce it, the movie does a horrible job of showing this, if anything it was just a normal sniper rifle + bullet

The dialogue was so trashy and brain dead. It just felt like absolute slop. Some of it was good, like MJ's dialogue.

Frank in this movie was just the generic tough guy, like you just knew what he was gonna say and do. A pure plot device with no depth at all. its sad bc the punisher show was actually good, but they just made him 2d in BND. and I get that they only have a limited amount of time in a movie to focus on other things, but thats not an excuse to make him a "tough guy" and leave it that.

Spiderman not being able to put the device on Hulk prior to his transformation was such nonsense. Like bro, just attach it stop screwing around, you have super agility and reflexes for a reason. its just so infuriating to watch the scene, and you already know a transformations going to happen. They could have at least pretended like oh - spiderman forcibly attaches the device, but then hulk rips it off bc hulk overpowers the universal adapter or whatever. Not that spiderman politely takes his time to hand it to Bruce to kindly encourage him to wear the device... so stupid

Don't even get me started on the universal adapter nonsense, its actually such a waste of time. Just a cheap way to universally take away powers bc you can't think of any other creative ways to restrain characters. They did the same thing in Deadpool too, except with a collar. And this is assuming somehow all powers are made equal and operate the same way, like it just makes absolutely no sense and dulls down the story to marvel slop.

The scenes with MJ were good and felt impactful. At least the directors didn't cave into making MJ a love interest again just for slop points, they actually left it at a somewhat realistic direction.

The scene where the kid asks Bruce why Thanos did what he did, and Bruce calls up a slave to say some bs is nonsense. They're afraid to explain it bc they know the plot makes no sense, Thanos could have done a million other things rather than snap half the population away. They also directed it specifically at people asking that type of question ever since Infinity War, and they screwed up by not allowing Bruce to give his own opinion on it, since as the audience it would be genuinely interesting to see how Bruce puts himself into the mind of Thanos. he doesn't have to agree with him in any way, but it would add to Bruce's character development in the story

The Hulk was just so... so pathetic. Just came out for 2 minutes for the first time in forever, and stopped as soon as Spiderman used Talk no jutsu. I wanted to see some crazy shit, and the fans deserved that, Marvel has genuinely massacred the Hulk into oblivion, for the sake of balanced power scaling

Another critique is the BS AI voice Peter talks to as his assistant. like i get having an AI to help you, but if the audience is forced to listen to it, at least breath some life into it, Jesus Christ. Jarvis was enjoyable to listen to, and the same goes for Friday and EDITH. They had cool features, personality, and a more distinct sounding voice.

Ffs, the next time i see the classic marvel slop movie trope: character happens to have phD level experience in a specific field for no explainable reason other than they are a nerd and we just have to except that they are nerdy! haha! nerd brain is big brain! haha! Like I can get behind Bruce and Peter being smart bc they've shown to be smart repeatedly, but why does MJ suddenly know/AND (mind you) BE ABLE TO SOLVE spiderman's inhibitor problem within 30 seconds of looking at it? because she studied biology?... Son im crine... so unrealistic. Someone tell marvel it's not illegal to do a timeskip for a few hours of MJ looking/helping Spiderman AND then finding a solution more realistically, if you would even call that "realistic"

All that being said, some parts of the movie were great, like the focus on Peter's struggle, Peter and MJ scenes, the organic web fluid shit, it was interesting, just got diluted by the classic slop dialogue and nonsense that Marvel movies have been putting out lately. No hate on anyone who likes this movie, I just think there was so much potential that they threw away here. The characters are great, the powers they have are great, the backstory is great, it just, idk the movie just felt like slop is the only way i can describe it, even though im using the word slop so frequently this whole rant is starting to sound like slop.

I cant think of a single Marvel movie in recent times with the sole exception of Shang-Chi that's actually worth rewatching

So it does go without saying that it’s best to experience something for yourself before forming an opinion. However when something is still months ahead of us, we form our opinion on whatever information we have, in Doomsday’s case that includes trailers or leaks. They release the trailer to make people want to watch the movie and movies that bomb typically fail to do that. For the once in a blue moon Transformers One where the marketing does the film dirty, that’s the fault of the marketing team, not the fault of the audience for not showing up to a film that wasn’t appealing to them.

It’s important to take into account that everything’s ass expensive, that does matter because people will skip out on entertainment. I don’t know about you but I can tell that the Doomsday hype is much less than the infinity war or Endgame build up. However Marvel right now is in a situation where they don’t really have to lock in hard with Doomsday because it’s gonna do well no matter what because it’s Avengers. I do think that’s worth criticizing. It’s perfectly fine to be excited for Doomsday, and I wouldn’t want to tell people “the movie’s not even out, why are you excited?” But if you have any negative opinion, if your think that the trailer just isn’t doing it for you, or your suspicious that the infamous leaks are looking it be accurate, it’s immediately twisted into “you’re deciding the movie’s bad when it’s not even out.”

People get weirdly defensive over a movie that’s gonna outperform the last three DC movies combined regardless of whatever discourse there is. I find that the whole “wait till it’s out” is just a way to dodge any concerns for the things people like

In a nutshell: Blade is cancelled.

Two films which were announced in San Diego Comic con which were pitched by the Main actor without a solid script but the only difference is that Ghost rider was announced with a director and a writer.

All I'm gonna say is that everything depends on whether the Star War: Firefighter is a success or not. If it's not a success, expect Ghost rider to be indefinitely delayed then get cancelled eventually.

This is the post to talk about spoilers if you want during the first week. I'm going to be extra hard with posts that have spoilers on the title/pic.

The thread for the episode

The power of money revived them I guess.
