I just want to talk about some of the good/bad decisions that the MCU has made over the past decade with their movies.
Curious to hear everyone else's!
For me, complaints:
1) Swapping out Ed Norton from Incredible Hulk - Sorry I loved Norton and thought he did a great job
2) Swapping out Terrence Howard - Preferred over Don Cheadle, and I never felt like he was 100% in the character
3) Killing Quicksilver - One of the best characters and you just wasted him!
4) Making the Hulk a bitch in Endgame - Snapping his fingers and that's it, he's useless the entire battle? Almost crushed by rubble? What the fuck. Hulk finally established himself as a badass character in Ragnarok and then he's just scrubbed away by this pussy Professor Hulk.
5) Killing interesting villains - Crossbones, Klaw, Mandarin (Yes I saw the Dark World special on the disc that they gave us hope and then proceeded to completely waste the character)
6) Never merging in the Netflix characters - Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, the Punisher, imagine had they been there in Civil War or Infinity War?
7) Captain America's ending. What the fuck. Stupidest ending to the character in my opinion.
8) A shit ton of bad boss fights. Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, stand out the worst in my opinion, Antman's was probably the best one in the universe.
9) Never calling "Clint" Hawkeye. Most upsetting thing in every movie.
10) Wasted characters like implying Adam Warlock is a thing in GotG Vol. 2 then proceeding not to use him
Love!
1) Spider-Man is on point, one of the best casting and characters currently in the universe.
2) Team dynamics are always on point. Look at Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy or the Wakandans (Black Panther is meh without Shuri and Okoye)
3) Despite a bunch of origin movies, they always do a good job of telling the story and making me care.
4) Visuals are always awesome. Especially movies like Ragnarok are just really damn pretty and spot on.
5) For the most part, holds true to a lot of the original lore in a modern sense, granted they took a lot of liberties, but it's still nice that they capture the essence of the original lore in most cases.
6) OSTs are always fun for the MCU movies.
7) Managed different heroes from all over the world and managed to bring them together in an awesome ending spectacle, not perfect by any means, but it was a good movie.
I definitely can't wait till my kids are a little bit older and can appreciate these movies so I can rewatch all of them with them, but in looking back at them, they really are just superhero movies. A few years ago I didn't understand how someone could write a movie off as a "superhero" movie, but now I kind of get it.
What do you all think?
