What I’ve seen and enjoyed:

X-Men (from the 2000’s). First Class. Days Of Future Past. Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Blade 1+2.

What I’ve seen and didn’t enjoy:

Iron Man. Avengers 1. The Amazing Spider-Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Daredevil.

It feels like Marvel’s earlier movies were better? From their MCU stuff I get the vibes of tokusatsu but it takes itself way to seriously and the Joss Whedon banter is so reddit it hurts.

Thoughts?

    I finally watched The Marvels and liked it more than I thought I would, but I don’t think I could actually recommend it to someone.

    Wasn’t that the one where chuds got big mad over Captain Marvel being a woman even though she’s been a woman in the comics for like a while?

      The Marvels is the second one - it’s got Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau in a kinda silly adventure movie. I’m sure the pronounjak-rages were made about it, too. It got a few sensible chuckles from me, but I don’t think I could recommend it. It was better than Aquaman 2 I guess shrug-outta-hecks

      The first one, Captain Marvel, is a shitty amerikkka air force ad.
