I never watched any of the films but I do remember how huge they were and the amount of hate they used to get

I was happy to see both Kristen Stewart & Rob Patt prove their acting chops in recent years tho

In f*** them stupid ass movies

Opening a thread that's dedicated to pure hating is crazy

nah dude there are periods of marvel that are all pretty much universally reviled. in fact the last 10 years have been some of the most hated in the company’s history

ironically, the hate for mcu somehow fits common criticism of mcu; its very bland and doesn't say much about anything

they’re probably gonna hard reboot with secret wars and center the universe around tom holland (if he’ll stick around)

just like anything else, people have preferences. you don't have to like something just cause many others do. mcu just isn't for me. not a fan of fantasy sci-fi s***

perfect explanation from the GOAT

Sticky this thread tbh

seeing a marvel movie in theaters is something I will never do again

People cheering when characters / actors just showed up on screen got me tight. It just feels like the story is an after thought and all (the people I was in the theater with) wanted was to see their favorite mcdonald's toys fighting

but im going to the mario movie tonight and will undoubtedly be happy when I catch references to things I know so who am I to judge

i would be lying if the 12 year old in me didn’t say that they wanted to see a scene where wolverine spider-man and the thing all play poker together, but at this point there’s very little of what makes marvel “marvel” in these movies anymore. the marvel comics of the 2000’s were weird as f*** and had long critiques of george bush in them. there’s a comic where the red guardian makes a shield out of wood, bones, and human skin. like…the fact that civil war didn’t have wolverine going on tv and threatening to kill the president os such a missed opportunity. idk, just seems like a run where people continually miss the point of the comics they adapt and tone down any of the actual nerdy kind of weirdness that i fell in love with as a kid. weird thing is, is that if they actually added any of that moral ambiguity etc they’d probably regain a bunch of interest but i think it’s clear they’re just gonna crash the ship and ask what happened later

it’s not that i hate the franchise, it’s just becoming exhausting af. it feels like homework watching the movies and TVs just so i can understand some of the plot. and to be frank, i could give a f*** about any of these characters (besides Kang and Spider-man ofc), i’m just waiting for MCU’s take on F4 and X-Men…i feel like they know the stakes are high on those IPs

Over saturated with annual releases
I understand they’re still very marketable from a business perspective but as a consumer I’m sick of seeing ads for the new Marvel movie nonstop every 6 months

they really had a golden opportunity to sustain interest by cycling the teams the mcu focuses on, but they just can’t let the avengers go. like after endgame they should’ve just made the next one fantastic four, and we see them rise in the same deliberate pace the avengers did. it would’ve soft rebooted the franchise and you could still have ransom cameos from older fan favorite characters

i wonder if this is how people felt about westerns and s*** in the 50s

Idk I can’t take anything seriously if there is superhero’s involved

in

oh wait u actually wanted an explanation

i can boil it down to four main points

• bland stories
• lame humour
• ugly visual effects and lack of distinction between films
• oversaturation

they suck ass

there’s no artistic merit and technically-wise they’re headache inducing

i’m a firm believer in the fact that Disney should’ve taken a hiatus right after Endgame. at that point, we had been invested in the movies for 10 years and it felt like a fitting conclusion to that chapter of the MCU

i agree with you 100% though. marvel is not just the avengers

I’m not even someone who like hates superhero movies (I like into the spider verse & the Batman) but especially the newest movies are just totally creative bankrupt
