MARVEL NOT DEAD!

Oh my

Let’s face it, Black Widow was also incredibly underrated. They’ve got some great characters in that group.

I think, from what I’ve read so far, people are finding this movie fun because it doesn’t seem to hinge on BIG MARVEL PROPERTY like the big names do (Avengers, Thor, Iton Man, etc)

What does that mean? Literally every starring character has appeared in a previous movie, series, or both! And I'm positive the plot leads to major build-up for Fantastic Four and Doomsday.

None of these characters are big names in the books and nobody really cares about them in the cimematic universe except maybe Bucky. It’s a group that gives low expectations unlike something like a new Thor or Avengers movie would.

That said, I’m excited to see it now with all the great word of mouth. I love a ragtag gang of C-Iisters personally.

 

[Pipo]

Shall we have a separate thread? no?

 

[Joseph]

So you and I can just chit chat about the movie

 

[Joseph]

But yea a separate thread would be fine with me

 

[Finn]

After swearing off Marvel last month I've made plans to see the new one this weekend

 

[Pipo]

@Moderator Can we please have a separate thread for the Thunderbolts* movie from post #373 onwards?

 

[Joseph]

YES GAWD

I am interested on how they are going to portray

Spoiler: 🤐

Sentry

vs the comic book version.

 

[Pipo]

Spoiler

 

[Joseph]

I read the spoilers and that’s VERY interesting

A big step up from Captain America: It's Just The Falcon Pretending, Guys - but it still felt like more of the same (but less good) from Marvel. Avengers and Guardians did the group stuff better, and tbh I think even Eternals had more moments.

I liked everyone in it, especially Julia Louis-Dreyfus obvs. I'm up for her settling in as a Tony Stark type figure, but a cunty one where they all hate her.

May we have a poll please benevolent @Moderator?

[Pipo]

and only one week in. Unbelievable. I haven't watched it!

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

They've changed the name after release why?

GOD I HATE SUPERHERO SHITE

solid 8. Very much back to the Marvel superhero group playbook, but the antihero angle makes it different enough and not at all subtle messaging about mental health makes it very now.

Spoiler: Who

The end credit scene showing the WHO?! reaction to them being sold as The New Avengers I thought was quite clever as the renaming of the movie has done the same thing in the real world. Sitting around for two end credit scenes is boring though.
