Marvel General: I love the Powerglove, it's so badorAfter The ApocalypseEdition Previous thread ==> >>46850 Remember to use spoilers. Is it all down hill from here? Has Disney's Marvel cinematic universe set the bar too high? Will audiences ever reach peak super hero fatigue? Is anybody actually watching the Marvel television series?
Random assored thoughts on Infinity War: That movie did not feel like a three-hour film. Every one of the major heroes got themselves a great moment, and that was just wonderful. Watching Widow, Okoye, and Wanda team up was such a great thing. Strange's Time Stone trip is going to play into the endgame in the next Avengers film and I can't wait for it. ROCKET YOU AMAZING ASSHOLE, WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRE TO MAKE YOU FEEL SO AWFUL. Thanos is the second-best MCU villain behind Killmonger, and neither one of those assertions are subjective. “You should have gone for the head” was such a chilling and perfect line. Ten bux says all the deaths caused by The Infinity Snap will be undone, but all the other deaths will be permanent. If Phase 3 does not end with Tony and Pepper’s wedding, I will be so nettled.
Killmonger was cool, but ultimately he was just a plot device to complete T'challa's character arc that was started in Civil War. Thanos was actually a character, and a well developed one at that.
Until further notice, I'm just going to presume that Thanos's understanding of interplanetary resource management was shaped by Mojo somehow manipulating him his entire life, for the purpose of turning the wars against him into a television series. It'd both cover why he has such a bad grasp of how population growth works (Does he plan to keep snapping that finger every fourty or so years?) and be an excuse to have Mojo in a movie.
Saw Deadpool 2. Overall pretty good, but I have mixed feelings about it. Very weak first half, full of stupid bullshit, and the jokes were not funny. Actually the whole film isn't as funny as the first. But once Cable arrives it picks up and stays strong, and rockets to awesome whenever Domino is onscreen doing her luck hax. Also the post-credits scene is legendary.
(Meant for here but I accidentally posted this in Godzilla thread)
Well now with Guardians now in limbo. Will we get an accelerated intro to the Fantastic Four? Will Peter Parker run into them as he treks through time and space.
So, Falcon and Winter Soldier's wild wacky adventure? More of modern superhero media where everyone is just being dumb twats to each other and the antagonists are disappointing.
It's odd but my dad is talking about how much he is enjoying the new Daredevil series, despite how he usually hates everything superhero related (he liked the Punisher movies but that was it). The ironic part is that one of my comics he tore up in anger when I was a kid was actually an issue of Daredevil.
>>417247 Thanos is an absolutely garbage 'character', shouldn't have been kept around the Marvel universe after the first storyline to feature him. Too bad his creator was also his biggest fanboy.
>>417569 The problem with Thanos isn't his character, it's how the writers handle him. A nihilistic mad god? That's fucking entertaining. A mook who decides to kill half the galaxy to fix overpopulation? Sounds like a retard who skipped elementary school.
>>417666 Moral is very simple: if you want to keep a story running for very long, AND it's not a story overlooked by a single creator, you can expect characters not being themselves sooner than later.
