Almost everything that came after Endgame.

[-] qooqie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Imo even endgame sucked huge dicks. It was just marvel sucking its own cock on screen and every clapping in the reviews. The movie right before endgame was peak though

I think he means Infinity War, and I agree.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I'm sure you're right. I was just being an asshole in good fun.

[-] mikyopii@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah this is the answer. I was about to list off some movies but realized I actually watched and finished those. I couldn't even bring myself to finish anything after Endgame besides the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

~~Almost~~ everything that came after Endgame.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Love and Thunder. The humour felt misplaced.

[-] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Also the God Butcher was an amazing arc. They wasted Gorr entirely.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

They wasted Christian Bale. What a compelling villain he could've been if they had actually written a good story

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He did do a great job with what they gave him. He's the only reason the film is bearable, and would have loved to see a more serious and earnest take on that movie.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Eternals. Too many characters, not enough story. It's also sinfully boring. Not to mention the random Harry Styles cameo that feels like an outtake

After Endgame I think only the spider-man one's are okay. I stopped watching the rest because I'm pretty fed up with the MCU and going by all their business decisions lately I highly doubt I'd like any of the new content.

I want more movies like Logan, hyper realistic down to earth heroes. Let Denis Villeneuve direct one.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately the MCU model is that director vision is cast aside in favour of producer input. It's why Eternals looks like an artistic Chloe Zhao film, but is a muddled mess of a story. We were deprived of an Edgar Wright Ant-Man film for the same reason

[-] Xyphius@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

Multiverse of Madness.

Plot was flat.

Characters were portrayed vastly different.

Horror element fell short of goofy.

Fan service characters felt like "last minute additions".

[-] stewie3128@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Whatever the most recent one at the moment is.

But seriously, my wife and I watched all of the Marvel movies in release order from Iron Man through Infinity War. I watched a sone of Endgame and turned it off after a bit. Sounds like we made the right choice.

We also stopped Game of Thrones after season 7 episode 4, which appears to be the ideal place to stop to maintain good memories of the show.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I watched GoT all the way through and found it disappointing. However I'm now doing a rewatch and enjoying it. Looking back, the first season is less creative than I remembered. Its just played with great conviction. There are some great quotes though and the budget for sets and set pieces is amazing.

On rewatch lots of stuff i missed makes more sense now that I'm familiar with the world and characters, even knowing how it ends.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I refuse to watch a Marvel movie until they make an Asbestos Lady movie and then that will be my favorite. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)

Until then, they all suck equally.

[-] linkshandig@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I’ve gotta go with Quantumania. 2 hours of CGI nonsense

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That one was at least funny bad. Almost all other marvel movies are just bad bad.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I hate superhero movies. Can't wait for this crap to be over

[-] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That wasn't an answer to the question.

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You're not alone brother.

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I'm with you. The infantilism of films is so depressing

[-] RabbitMix 7 points 1 year ago

idk I only care about Spider-Man but I had to watch a bunch to understand what was happening in Spider-Man so I was kinda annoyed with everything else.

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Pym particles are the speed force of the marvel universe.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Anything starting with "Avengers" or "Captain America," except for the first occurrence of each, all ran together into forgettable mush.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

The Captain Americas. They're so generically tropey.

I also hope Sony isn't offended that I wasn't a fan of the Spiderman movie I happened to be an extra in. Best eighty bucks ever earned though, I just had to walk down the street doing my thing. Even did an intentional "accidental cosplay" for all who notice.

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: for non-Americans, who are most of the world and the biggest contributors to box office take for MCU films, this character and premise is just goofy. The films are fun to watch in a campy sort of way, but I was surprised to hear Americans talk about them as a serious spy thriller series

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I thought the second one was great for exactly the reason that they subverted the generic trope of good guy, bland. Then they found success with that and just repeated it ad nauseam.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do love Chris Evans as Captain America though. His expression of slight disapproval throughout the films is fantastic.

[-] _ed@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Haven’t seen many, but when I tried rewatching iron man 2 if felt disjointed and tonally weird. And love and thunder was disjointed as well. Not a marvel movie fan at all though.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Storm X-Men one was pretty bad. And so disappointing because I love the character.

Best ones I think are the second X-Men, Logan, and Into the Spiderverse.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

X-Men is technically not marvel studios movie. But I hope the reboot is better.

But I have to agree with you about Storm.

[-] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hate Avengers Endgame and everything it represents.

[-] dillydogg@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I only saw Endgame and I thought it was okay. So I would say it's my least favorite and that's because it's the only one I've seen. I guess it's also my favorite.

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Oh wow. I can't imagine going into Endgame completely blind. Had you read the comics at least? Or was it just an ensemble of weird characters with powers fighting each other and travelling through time?

What would have even been the point in the fight?

[-] dillydogg@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

This is a quite delayed response, but it was essentially your second question. I went with friends who watched a lot of the MCU movies and they were trying to explain everything to me in real time. I eventually just asked them to save their breath because the backstory was so long. I did enjoy the spectacle of the movie, though the impact was lost on me.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I liked iron man and winter soldier and the sound mixing was good.
