      I foolishly was excited for doctor strange. The first one was not exactly bad but did not live up to expectations. Second was a total nosedive.

        I know people love Sam Raimi, but his track record is spotty. Evil Dead was not meant to be a comedy, but they pivoted the movies that way because of audience reception. People loved the first two spiderman films, but the third was hated and they cancelled the fourth. Why give him the reins of another superhero movie?

    While I have no doubt they have a spreadsheet with a list of movies I’m fairly confident the Marvel train will not be traveling that long. Having said that if they’re still making them in 2042 I’ll probably still be watching them /shrug

      I put them on when I am double jobbing, doing something on the laptop or phone. They are chewing gum for the eyes is all

      They’ll probably pump them out in a couple minutes with AI doing it all in a couple years anyways.

      It’ll only be 99% the cost of human made ones too so everyone’s happy.

      I remember a post like 10 years ago where a guy said that he’s so sick of these marvel movies. He enjoyed the first few but it’s getting ridiculous. Back then i thought: he has to be kidding. While they are not high cinema or anything, they are brainless fun, and i for one will just continue to watch them. I think about that post quite a lot, because i don’t even remember the last movie i saw. Maybe endgame, and i only watched that because i felt obligated, and refused to watch it in theatres. I could not care less for these movies and tv shows. It’s something i never imagined would happen, because they are just movies of something e enjoyed since i was a kid. I am so sick of them and everything they created. Their shitty formula keeps creeping into other movies and it’s just gross. Quips everywhere, every charecter needs a joke and a punchline. I really wanted to like the Dungeons and dragons movie, but that was also just a marvel movie in disguise. “He’s right behind me, isn’t he?” “I’m glad he’s on our side.” Blablabla

        I never made that comparison but you’re spot on. I don’t mind the dnd movie as much, because there are times when that makes it feel like an actual campaign with dumb, campy shit going on. But yeah, now that you say it, it’s 100% a marvel movie in a trenchcoat.

      We all are. I kinda don’t blame them tho. Infinity War was such a fantastic ending to the saga, but this is capitalism, when your movies make infinite money, you can’t just walk away.

      This is a multi generational plan. You and your friends might be done, but a whole new generation is coming of age to see these movies. By the time that generation is tired of marvel, their children will be ready for the next batch

    They have been making marvel movies for about 80 years. Of course they will be making them for the next twenty.

    I can’t wait to skip them.

    Save all the interesting stuff for never, remove or downplay the actual interesting parts of the comics that were political or asked challenging questions to make more room for pg13 violence, etc. I love the comics and bringing them to a wider audience but I don’t think big budget movies can match my interest for comics after the initial novelty.

      He was asked a question and this is a build up to comic con.

      Plus movies don’t just suddenly appear in theaters. We know about them well ahead of time.
