Marvel's Movie/TV Universe v2 (SPOILERS)

[Zook]

I just watched The first Captain America movie, and I still don't see the problem with it.

Although, It does have that really bad expository line by Bucky though, saying his own name.

My only real issue with it is that it's basically a bookmark movie. Great job becoming Cap, great job getting him into the ice (mostly) but they really skipped over the entire 1940's life of Cap. Based solely on the movie, he was Cap battling Nazis for like 3 weeks. I wanted more of that, I wanted to see him be an awesome Cap. Not sure they could have done that in one movie though, and they needed him in the present for the Avengers, but it felt like a lot of really cool stuff wasn't put in there for that reason.

I would have liked more Red Skull.

[Adami]

I can't stand the first Cap film

WTF

Man, it just sucks, sorry dude. I don't like anything about it. Boring story and characters, ugly visuals, awful villain with terrible makeup. Only reason I can see any interest in it in hindsight is due to the Tesseract.

Okay Stadler.

WAIT, what?

Cause I disagree with him so much. Get it?

[The Walrus]

These days I can't tell Adami and bosk apart.

[bosk1]

Adami is the handsome one.

[Adami]

Sup

There are NO BAD MARVEL FILMS. 

There are some that are only just "good", there are some that are "I liked it but it was nothing special", but there are NO BAD MARVEL FILMS.

EDIT - But there are some very bad DC films. 

[The Walrus]

Yeah there are.

 

take the bait

[jammindude]

I know you are, but what am I?

Starting Episode 4 of the Runaways.   Just one yes/no question I have and I don't want spoilers.

It is an official addition to the MCU...do they ever mention it or call to it in any way?

It’s as much a part of the MCU as any other tv show.

Daredevil directly references the Battle of NY.

Yup. Most of these shows reference something to some degree. Cloak and Dagger reference the Netflix shows. Runaways connects to cloak and dagger. And none of them. At all. Matter to the MCU.

Dude, I don't even like Winter Soldier.

WTF

[The Walrus]

Dude, I don't even like Winter Soldier.

WTF

It's just another boring humdrum beat-'em-up action flick to me. I don't like those kinds of movies very much. Replace Captain America with Jason Statham or something, it's the same movie

The action, while visceral, is largely incidental.  It isn't the point of the movie.

It's a political thriller, more akin to The Manchurian Candidate or Three Days of the Condor than Die Hard.

I know what the film is about, I've seen it more than a couple times. I just don't like it. I don't like the action side of it, which I probably would if it had heroes I was more interested in, and I don't particularly like the plot side of it either. I just think it's a boring movie all around (I have never once found myself caring about Bucky or Sam, or even Cap) - every time I've watched it I've hoped either the plot would compel me to stay interested where the action did not, or vice versa, and it just doesn't click with me. I also think it's too long...

[hefdaddy42]

Perhaps you should consider the DC films.

[bosk1]

I was thinking Superfriends. 

[Adami]

I was thinking Superfriends. 

The show about us? I can see that.

[The Walrus]

Perhaps you should consider the DC films.

I have good news for you, friend: I've seen them all. Most of them in theaters, even.

Dr. Strange is more my type of Marvel movie than The Winter Soldier.

[hefdaddy42]

I was thinking Superfriends. 

The original, with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog?  Or perhaps the Zan & Jayna version?

Mike Goddamnit,  I will now inundate you with posts mocking you for hating on the best MCU movie do far.


DAMN YOU YOU STINKING MEATLEHEAD!

IT'S BORING!! I'M SORRY!!

I love you both.

Just finished Season 1 of The Runaways.   The writing was WAAAAYYYY more cheesy and "soap opera"-esque than The Inhumans, but the characters were more fleshed out...so it's a wash.    I like it enough to continue to Season 2.

[jammindude]

Aaaaaaaand just discovered last night that D+ doesn’t have season 2! 

[Adami]

Aaaaaaaand just discovered last night that D+ doesn’t have season 2! 

Hulu does, since it's a HULU show.

I'm actually 4 episodes away from finishing season 3. Honestly, it's mostly terrible, but the 2nd half is a bit of an improvement. Cleavage Le Fay hasn't been much of a villain yet, but we'll see what they do with her.


They really need to just rename this show "Flawed Parents Just Doing Their Best and also their kids....I guess"

Since this is hardly about the Runaways and mostly about the parents/family units.

I dunno, I just don't like this show outside of a casting Gert and about 80% of how they portray Nico (at least in the later seasons).

[jingle.boy]

I dunno if these are fan-made, or legit, but they're pretty cool none-the-less.  Found 'em from Queenshmegland's re-sharing of a fanclub FB page.

[Adami]

All very cool.

All completely fan-made.



And oddly? A lot of fan-made Marvel posters are WAY better than legit Marvel posters.

[The Walrus]

Guardians 3, Thor 4, Shang-Chi all look dope. Even that Dr. Strange one looks good although I don't currently like Scarlet Witch much beyond her powers

[hefdaddy42]

Definitely fan made.
