The Marvels - The Absolute State Of The MCU

Its a bad sign when you are more excited for the reviews than the actual movie

Disney + Marvel and Hollywood at large needs to give cinema back to the creatives instead of just commissioning writers and rushing scripts. We’re all here cuz we love movies but are unhappy with the current state of the industry

I can't help but applaud them honestly, everyone had 0 expectations and it was still worse than they expected

Honestly, I always expected this. People don't have the energy to hate on MCU, nor do they have the energy to care about it. It dies by apathy, and I think that's beautiful.

The moment they made multiple TV shows mandatory viewing for a movie is going to be treated as Marvel's biggest mistake in the future

If only Marvel had I don't know 80 years of comic material to choose from to come up with a better story!

I was forced to watch this last night. Two points 1. I don't think I'm the target audience for marvel anymore. 2. The combined emotional intelligence of the characters would add up to a 6 year old.

You know I actually feel bad for Iman Vellani. I met her at the Miss Marvel premiere and it was clear how excited she was about the MCU and how much of a fan she is. She's also a very sweet person whose enthusiasm for the franchise was infectious.  It just sucks that someone that excited about Marvel entered the franchise when it's sinking as badly as it is now.

When your villain has the same evil plan as Spaceballs, you should probably hire a new writer.
