Superhero Films: Will They Ever Take Off? - The Bear and Badger

Hahaha good point!

Yeah maybe it’s time to temper expectations, like maybe it’s all just super quick cameo stuff as he falls through dimensions or something. Like in Deadpool 2 when he keeps asking where all the other X men are...

Sooo I was totally underwhelmed by the finale. It was fine.

Superfly, you did watch the entire thing right? Also the two cutscenes at the end?

Thank god. Someone else in this thread talking sense. Agree with all your points Ninja.

They really don’t make up or change any of what Ninja (and myself) said. This was an average show start to finish that only had Bettany doing a nice mix of comedy and emotion.

Perhaps KKK Vision (great name!) has gone to find Wanda a soul?

I don't get why people think Wanda didn't give a fuck about what she did to the residents of Westview. She seemed pretty mortified about it to me, once she realized what she was actually doing to them. If she didn't care she'd have carried on in the delusion, but she didn't, she gave up on her dream family and accepted their loss even though it was hard and obviously hurt her, all because she didn't want to hurt the people of Westview

Agreed

Yep. And further to Ninja’s points:

Yup I caught both mid credit scenes. EDIT : I agree with Yoss about the kids and the focus being on Vision.

Is there anyone looking at this thread who hasn't watched it (and actually cares)?

So Quicksilver is Ralph Bohner? FFS. Did Rian Johsnon work on the script?

Buddy, this is an intervention...you need to let it go.

Minnesänger

Show me where the bad director touched you.

Little Franklin

To be fair; it's not just him, there are others on the forum who feel the same way. (not me)

Funkstain

Are you sure not you? Think we need to unrepress some of those traumatic Johnson memories franko

Little Franklin

He just took my penis and threw it away over his shoulder like it was nothing. :'(

Will never understand the hatred to that film, personally. I thought it was really good... better than the first (new trilogy) one. I also liked rogue one a bunch, that was probably my fave despite some terrible acting putting me off at the start.

I liked the films a lot as a youngster but never revered them I guess, so just enjoy them for what they are and don’t think too hard about it. Must be like when people tell me endgame was a much better film than infinity war... I know it’s just a stupid comic book film about super heroes vs aliens but COME ON you pricks what’s wrong with you.

RamSteelwood

woo. 2021's big cinematic universe crossover event - The Last Jedi argument in the super hero movie thread. I'm up for this.

I'd take Infinity War over End Game. Sure, End Game has some great moments but I think for what the MCU represents, Infinity War is probably the high point. Not saying it's the "best" film they've done but in terms of bringing everything together, action sequences that have a purpose and character moments it is hard to to IW.

I'm deffo team Endgame. I like the slower pace giving it time to build the mood and focus on the main story. Infinity War felt like a string of unrelated action scenes and plot points, which was entertaining enough but didn't make much of an impact.

Completely different feel for it. Really felt like it paid off all the build up in a proper way. Near everyone got a moment and there was a great doomsday feel to everything.

Having said all that, I might give Endgame another re-watch.

Howdy, Stranger!
