That’s true, but people still love it! I guess it does sort of work though because I don’t know of anyone who will be mad if you say you don’t like McDonald’s, but not liking Taco Bell might get some random judgment.
Fast food is an appropriate analogy. It is okay once in a while, but it destroys your insides if you consume too much.
IDGAF about marvel. Genuinely don't try to be one of those edgy contrary cool guys, and I'm sure if I caught one on tv it'd be entertaining, but I'm lazy and it's so much to keep up with!
I like/have seen probably half of the MCU movies. There are a handful I truly enjoy and will happily revisit (Ragnarok, Black Panther, Guardians). That said, until I saw Infinity War I honestly had no clue about any of the stones or their purpose or locations oops Like I genuinely had no idea I was supposed to pay attention to that stuff and didn't even absorb any information from the previous movies relating to all that, I just wanted to see superheroes beat up on stuff.
I saw Ultron in theaters because it had James Spader and my Marvel loving friend assumed I was also obsessed and bought us tickets. I think the only other official MCUs I had seen at that point were Iron Man and GOTG, so I was basically completely lost. Spader as a robot was worth it for me though.
MCU is McDonalds. DC is Burger King. You'd think they could make the same thing but somehow one is just worse at everything except advertising.
I'm not sure how unpopular this is, it was DEFINITELY unpopular with my friends, but wonder woman is better than every MCU movie
I have only seen the original and the newest one, but the Mission Impossible films are actually a fun franchise. The quadruple-crossing gets so ridiculous but the stunts are fantastic.
The Marvel discussion motivated me to actually download and watch Endgame and wow this was genuinely not good, like I expected it to be fine or whatever like I said earlier, like McDonalds. But it wasn’t so now you’re going to read my complaints The time travel idea was so lame, especially with the constant references to other time travel movies. Like “oh if we’re just be tongue in cheek about it then nobody will acknowledge how half-assed of a plot idea it is.” And Tilda Swinton’s whole scene was about how the six stones hold the timeline together and if even one is gone then the dark forces or whatever could take over. But in the beginning of the movie OG Thanos outright destroys all the stones and everything is fine, nothing happens. But besides the time issues: Hated how the first half hour was all about how they all needed to accept reality and move on, but then Paul Rudd shows up and it’s like sike, we actually don’t have to live with the ramifications of our defeat at all Iron Man totally did not need to do his snap. They already had everyone back. They could have built a different time machine at any point. Once they had the stones all they needed to do was fly away and wait for Brie Larson to single handedly kill Thanos and his whole army in a matter of minutes. Like it’s not as if I’m expecting the superhero space movie to be the tightest most coherent story ever written but it was so, so disjointed. What fast food does that make it? Dairy Queen?
The summer of 2007 was important to me in many ways. I graduated high school in 2006, so 2007 was the first summer where I felt a remove from that sort of atmosphere. I saw Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and Beowulf all within that summer. Then, in the horizon, there appeared a movie called Juno, starring the guy from my favorite show at the time and using a song from the Moldy Peaches, the band we emulated in high school. Those four films broke something inside of me that will probably never be fixed.
