The slow decline isn't slow anymore

Endgame was a 3 hour fan service and wasn't all that good and I'll die on that hill.

Ma...ma.... Marvel movies are mostly redundant bullshit without even a single relevant thought in them. Just like these mass-produced romcoms, same level. They will probably be the first movies written and produced by inferior AI soon and it won't even make a big difference.

They were never good you just had dogshit standards.

Maybe you’re just older because they weren’t good to begin with

Endgame was stupid. The solution to Thanos was have Tony conveniently invent time traveling and then save the day. Infinity Wars was the peak.

I just want things to end. It's okay for things to be over. Star wars wasn't served by it's sequels, but here we are with a new WHATEVER every year. And marvel is worse, with a new show every month or two. Realistically, how long is anyone supposed to care?

If anything the peak was infinity wars. But tbh just finished watching s02 of loki and it's absolutely excellent. I have tons of critique but still it's very good.

This is another occasion where I really hope the lesson isn’t “Female leads don’t sell”. Probably an obvious observation, but Captain Marvel always struck me as a boring, flawless, invincible hero without much personality.

Endgame was shit, infinity war was the actual peak

Meanwhile, Loki is the best MCU content to date.

Everyone argues with me over it, but The Incredible Hulk (Edward norton) and Iron Man/Iron Man 2 were pretty much it for me.

I did enjoy No Way Home, and Thor Love and Thunder, but the rest were so watered down. Captain America & Bucky VS iron man was the death warrant. He can take a tank round, but not a punch from Cap?

Hulk pissing himself in Infinity War against Thanos with just the power stone? No. Hulk should have smashed him to a pulp.

Guardians of the Galaxy were the only fun ones anyway. The rest was rehashed trash.

But Infinity War was the better movie. Is this still up for discussion?

They were never good.

Marvel movies have never peaked because it was a downwards slide from the start

I mean, I still enjoy ‘em. They ain’t perfect, but nothing is.

I thought comic book movies were in decline until the Batman came out. The question is if Marvel is willing to part from their generic formula so their movies feel fresh.

Marvel needs some good direction from a management level, they need to build an Avengers team of writers who can really think of an overarching plot and have an end goal. They keep introducing new characters and then just don't use them at all (where is Shang Chi?), their IP is spread out too much across unnecessary TV shows, they need to get their budget under control because somehow everything costs a billion, and their end product is worsened by the fact that their VFX teams are being overrun. This is Kevin Feige's time to shine more than ever and he needs to show Disney that he can earn that pay.

My god End Game was trash. It qas terribly rushed. They should've just ended it in Infinity war with a cliff hanger.

Is this a staged joke? Is everyone here in some conspiracy to make me believe that either the world went mad or I did? Why is everyone calling every Marvel movie "peak" but the first Iron Man? Obviously, this was the best one.

Marvels was good, trolls getting mad about it are also good, really just a good time to be alive entertainment-wise

I feel like comic book movies in general, peaked. Marvel nor DC have made anything that gets close.

I think the big reason is that marvel had to make due with it's B and C suite of characters, after they sold the rights of to their most popular franchises, like X-Men and Spiderman. They had to step their writing game up to overcome the limited popularity of the characters.

The Marvels was a fun movie tho

There are too many. The other day I saw the latest flash movie. It's the second? Third? Fourth? I don't know because they don't put a number and I don't care enough. Too many stuff referenced other movies or series making watching a bit of a hassle. Is this just unknown and will be told later for making the movie interesting, or it's because the audience is supposed to having watched 40 hours of previous works?

If they really need to push a new superhero movie or series every 2 months, their stories should be self contained, at most separated in a trilogy. Not an infinite parallel universe constantly self referenced that needs a guide that tells you which content you need to watch and in which order.

I thought it was the opening of Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

People sure love yucking other people's yums.

Honestly, as far as the ensemble movies go, I personally think Marvel peaked with the first Avengers movie...

If anything the peak was infinity wars. But tbh just finished watching s02 of loki and it's absolutely excellent. I have tons of critique but still it's very good.

I felt that way after Spiderman 3.

Jazz hands!

I didn't really care for the movies until Thanos made an appearance. Right now is like the prelims. Once we get to the main card when the next main boss comes, I'm going to be hyped again.

Yes endgame was good, but fuck if people aren't now comparing the "weekly episodes" to what was essentially the epic 2 part seaon finale.

I stopped watching the live action movies after Iron Man 2. I find the Marvel animation much more enjoyable.

Phase 1 was peak.

In that last pane, what's up with the scattered grains of rice next to a pink cloth?

Tbh I think the top of the mountain was infinity war. I never heard such silence as I did in the scene when gamora asks, what did it cost
