No real hits?! Oh, yeah?! Tell Tony Stark that!
He built a hit in a cave with a box of scraps!
He macgyvered an iron man
Brilliant
I actually despised his character, it took me a long time to warm to him
The low-hanging fruit of MCU bashing
Supacell is amazing! Only started watching it this wk. I tried re watching the x-men movies a month ago… I havent finished that yet, thought i was over super hero stuff. Put on Supacell on Tuesday and I finished it last night. I am actually excited for the nxt season, and i couldn’t care less about any new superhero hollywood ‘cgi wwe’ in fact I havent cared for them for 10 YEARS NOW.
I think super hero “stuff” is similar to sci-fi and westerns in that it has become a genre. And just like the two much older genres it started as the main focus of movies and shows where not much else was required to provide for an exciting event. However as more and more content gets released it will have to evolve into the backdrop or foundation for telling a much bigger story, ones that go beyond simple bad vs good or world invasion/ending crisis.
Westerns and sci-fi eventually figured that out. Some of the best movies and shows in both genres are ones that use them to explore complex themes about humanity at both the micro and macro scale. I think Supacell is on the right track for doing that and hopefully doesn’t fall back in to typical tropes with future seasons.

Tbh, I stopped following the MCU after Infinity War, and if what I’ve read about the absolute clusterfuck that is post-Endgame is true, im not really inclined to get back into it.

And Guardians vol. 3, and some people really like Loki while other people really dislike Loki.
But I think that’s all.

I’ve enjoyed most of it
I really like the storytelling and the worlds and fantasy they create
The series are often much better than the movies

all the shows after MCU endgage were just promotions for thier movie promotions , to other movie or show promotions, nothing more.

For a while, yeah; Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Black Panther (RIP Chadwick Boseman) are all peak.

A year or so back I decided I was going to catch up. I went back to Iron Man and started rewatching the entire series in release order, at most one a night after everyone else was in bed.
I didn’t even make it through Endgame. I watched up to Endgame, started watching it, paused it, and for all I know, it’s still paused.

It was utter garbage for a while, like such bad writing and so obviously formulaic that I’d get pissed off about it. Especially the Dr strange one…I was pissed because i was excited for another dr strange one and it wasn’t even enjoyable. It’s makes no sense, they did nothing with the characters, it was like a whirlwind trailer to set up new overarching plot lines
Part of it might be that my expectations dropped to the floor after that, but I’ve found that after they cancelled everything and course corrected they’ve gradually gotten better. If doomsday is good I’ll probably get invested again, I am excited to see the mutants get involved in the main plot
The spider man series are still good though, aside from lady web…I don’t know what was going on with that
