Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 549

Truly don’t understand not wanting a movie to be good? Or that movies shouldn’t try and be good? What are we talking about?

 

I said none of that and wasn't talking to you anyway, so I'm not sure why you're getting involved.

 

Ok pen, have a good one. Sorry for making a post on a forum.

 

I'm trying to have a normal non-antagonizing conversation about something. I know it’s hard for us sometimes to not be dicks to each other, but I would like to give it a try. You good with that, Grim?

 

I wasn’t trying to be antagonistic I just truly don’t understand saying a movie isn’t supposed to be good or whatever was said on the last page. Just giving my opinion. Enjoy what you want. My post in the MCU thread on chorus shouldn’t ruin that for you.

 

I'm so confused, where did anyone say a movie isn't supposed to be good?

 

I'm confused too. Grim, what are you on about?

 

this post

 

You realize not quote-posting is a felony in 33 countries, right?

 

Anyway, my interpretation of that post isn't that you can't expect comic book films to be good but that you should be judging them by their own merits instead of holding them to the same standard as other genres of film. And I think that makes sense. You wouldn't compare a horror film to a drama film, it's purpose is completely different and so the metric should match.

Edit: Like the first goal of these films is to entertain, and as long as it meets that goal, it's done what it set out to do.

 

Ofc we want good movies. Y'all are saying the okay ones are bad.

 

So Okay, It's Average - TV Tropes

Thinking about this trope.

 

Movies with more value than a good portion of Marvel Studios’ content.

(How soon before someone makes a very lazy Madame Web comment lol.)

 

Tim, I continue to be happy for you that you get movies to enjoy time and again.

 

liked FF less on rewatch

 

By* not my. sorry I had to do it

because I’m a turd

 

I think the point is that okay by Marvel standards is a bad by regular standards.

 

Yes, and the counterpoint was "Marvel shouldn't have a lower bar than any other film."

Both of which are valid points, just more a reflection of how individual users view these movies.

 

I don't agree that "okay by Marvel standards" is "bad by regular standards" anymore than the reverse, but I think this just comes down to different people having different ideas about what makes a bad film.

It's easy to assume a person is making an exception for Marvel simply because there are so many Marvel films, and if you already hate the majority, you're forming a baseline by which you're judging everyone else.

 

I think the point initially was giving a little more leeway to comic book movies because they're blockbusters and meant to be more surface level so some users provide them with a bit more of a pass, or grade them easier whereas the otherside is saying "well they've done excellent films before so they're capable, so i'm unwilling to give them that leeway"

Again, both fine and valid, I think it's better to understand that posters are viewing these things differently.

 

I don't think I'm giving them special leeway. They're okay marvel films and okay films overall. ppl are treating 6s and 7s like they're 3s and 4s

 

Okay, fine. Can we at least agree 6s and 7s vs. 3s and 4s are subjective?

 

I think people just have different opinions and we don't need to look for reasons to systematically and wholesale discount those opinions as invalid.

 

It’s almost like people have different opinions on stuff

 

yes but this goes both ways
