Semper's Stupendous to Infinity and Beyond Everything Marvel Movie/TV Thread (1 Viewer)

I haven't either. I planned to, but just haven't gone to see any movie lately other than Top Gun. When you can just wait a month or two for streaming, not nearly as motivating to get to the theater.

Tbh, streaming has changed the game in terms of my theater going habits.
I'm not sure how many theaters are going to remain open in the near future because this seems to be the overall attitude for most people.
It really has to be something where seeing it on a huge screen will make a greater impact for people to make the time and spend the money to go out to the movie house now. Regular dramas really have no shot at that, which probably means Hollywood won't be making nearly as many of them, either.
 
Is this still the right thread? Aren’t they in Phase 5 now? Am I repeating something that’s already been brought up?

Well, that's the thing. Since Endgame, the phases thing has somewhat lost its meaning. I don't even know anymore and I'm a pretty big MCU fan.
 
So it's been over two months since Quantumania was released and some fans are still ripping it another new one. This time, it's on comments from the director on why the role was recast again after Endgame (which I thought was explained already). Seems fans are not a fan of Kathryn Newton's role at all.

(To be fair, I still haven't watched it.)

It was like most of the recent Marvel movies. It was good. Majors and Rudd were good. But I felt Douglas and Pfieffer were underused, and to me it did the opposite of what they wanted....it made me fear Kang less.

I mean, if Ant-Man can singlehandedly go toe to toe with him and practically win, why I am I going to allow you to build the suspense of him being an Avenger level threat? (which he is supposed to be). Marvel had a chance to really show something here. Have an avenger lose in his/her own movie. Raise the stakes.

Single-handedly?

Well almost. I mean, c'mon, Kang plus MODOK being beaten by Ant-man and a teenage girl who hasn't been in a real fight yet? I am 100% behind this creation of Young Avengers thing, but, and I apologize, I've been collecting comics since 86, but tell me how anything in that movie is supposed to make me frightened of Kang. The fact that there are more of them? Fine. Just throw some more ants at them.

The first phases had losses. Even as far back as Freya. Had real consequences. This phase the movies have been good, I enjoyed Wakanda, and I enjoyed this movie, but it doesn't have the gravitas as the first couple phases. The Disney+ shows are going strong though.
 
Should a Phase 5 thread be started or should this one be turned into an all-things MCU/TV shows?



I'll change title to include Phase 5. Might as well. I'm really looking forward to Echo. I want to see more of the deaf actress. She was pretty good in Hawkeye.
