The Avengers/Marvel movies

Now that Marvel has Spidey back, I want the next installment to be Aunt MAY and The Wasp. Yeah, I totally want to see that.

Hahahaha

Marissa Tomei would be an awesome "Luis" for Evengeline Lily.


Once they have the in-universe meet up, they could do a web series of shorts between movies.
 
Would like to change my opinion...

Probably was a little harsh on Captain America:Civil War. I apologize. It really improves with repeat viewings, and it does really feel like a good comic book. Ant Man is definitely better as part of a team.

The thing is, I don't want a repeat viewing... You are right about it feeling like a good comic book though, but when I was 12. This movie would've blew my comic nerd little mind when I was 12.
 
Captain America: Civil War, in my opinion, seems weak because it follows what I still consider to be the best Marvel movie I've seen, Winter Soldier.

If you disagree, you're wrong and I'll fight you! :mad: And what I mean by fight I mean nag a lot. mhihi:

I think the Captain America trilogy holds better than Iron Man. I didn't see the second Thor movie (:fpalm:), but it probably holds better than that one too, haha. And it arguably holds better than Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Yeah, I went there. evil:

I hadn't seen Ant-man until just recently. I like Paul Rudd, but really don't find Ant Man interesting. But anyhooow, it IS a lot of fun, and that's really what it aims to be. I guess I now want to watch the sequel. Ant Man has a lot of good effects, but I was way too fixated at how they manage to de-age Michael Douglass. Ha! Speaking of re-watching movies, yeah, you sorta have to, I think, in order to fully judge a movie.

I should re-watch Dr. Strange which left me cold. I like that character way more than Ant-man, but enjoyed the movie less. Dunno, did anybody think it was a great movie? I am still irked about the Ancient One being whitewashed and I like Tilda Swinton, but that character needed to be Asian in my opinion regardless of how stereotypical it seems today. Just don't make him an Asian caricature and we're good.
 
Winter Soldier is the best Marvel movie and that's another reason Civil War pissed me out. I probably said this before, but if Civil War was called Avengers 3: Civil War then I likely would've overlooked that and enjoyed it for what it was.
 
I wasn't sold on "Civil War" mostly because I thought Captain America was being dumb, so the whole argument was lame.

I mean, I understood his side, I just thought it was weakly framed as an argument.


I did enjoy "Doctor Strange" more the second time.


"Dark World" just wasn't very good. Definitely the low point of the overall universe. Possibly the one of these movies I didn't end up seeing in a theater. That being said, still not horrible.


My controversial opinion: I didn't care for "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" as much as most people.

I agree on the Guardians 2. It felt like I was watching Avatar the whole time.
 
I am not gonna have any of this anti GotG 2 nonsense. It is a seamless movie with HUGE emotions, life changing cosmical comic beauty, and Ego...the living planet. Personified as the KURT RUSSELL. So stahp.


Dr. Strange was a mixed bag. Picked up as it went on, and sadly, really hit it's stride when Strange tricked Dormammu. If you look back, Doc Strange is the lynchpin that Infinity war hinged on. And the Guardians were essential as well.

Orph, thanks for giving Cap trilogy the nod. First movie captures EXACTLY what Cap was to me as a child. Second was a small movie wrapped inside a huge one. Unlike anything that came before. Civil War...another key moment in the direction of the Marvel monster. Cap is more important than Tony Stark.

Kevin Feige Has ?Ideas? For A Potential Avengers/X-Men Crossover In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
http://letsgokings.com/showthread.php/395216-The-Avengers-Marvel-movies/page265

?I have vague dreams and vague ideas,? he said. ?But right now, bringing to life the 10,000-plus characters that Marvel fully controls is what the gameplan is.? Feige maintained there?s nothing in the works should Disney absorb 20th Century Fox (which would also bring along the Fantastic Four and Deadpool), but the Daily News called his insistence ?not entirely [convincing].?

Ok the emotion was there in Guardians but the visuals were so damn distracting, as in fake. Hence the Avatar comparison.

That was some trippy ass, right out of the comics of my youth stuff there kid.

I didn't see a single floating mountain with a waterfall...not a one. Avatar = Yes album covers, GotG2 = 70's comics

Were you watching while on your meds? mhihi: ;)

I like 70's Yes Albums covers, mind you! A lot of those 70's Progs album covers, not just Rush, haha. And those '70's comics too. I still wonder what it must've been to be a kid of the '70's with all those visuals, ha!

See, Jerseydevil, you should take a page outta Orphy's book, and say, "It's not fake looking, it's stylized, dammit!" :mad:

That's what I always say when people criticize the visuals of something I like.

Oh, and Infinity Grimace!! :dancing-smiley:

Only 8? Hey, the younger we get these kids into comic book characters the better! Then again, I have been into this comic book thing since I could read and look at how I turned out so it can be a mixed bag, haha. :D

Regarding Civil War, the respective arcs of Stark and Rogers are true to their characters. Cap is a good man who always makes the right choice at the right time, despite the consequences. Stark has this constant, repetitive sequence of making bad decisions based on his ego, then being redeemed. I wouldn't agree that Cap is more important, just that his motives will always be pure and less convoluted.

Stark accepted the Accords because he knows he couldn't be trusted to regulate himself. Rogers didn't because he wanted the responsibility in his own hands. Virtue always wins out in these morality tales.

I really like the ideals in Civil War, even though it feels like a plot interrupted by constant set pieces. Somebody really should have died in that movie to add some gravity.

The one thing that bugs me has nothing to do with the movie. It's that they had a wonderful opportunity to create a movie before Infinity War that dealt with the aftermath of Civil War, where the Thunderbolts could have been introduced to hunt down Cap and The Gang and bring some juicy villains into the fold. Making Civil War a one-off lessens the weight of the plot.

The Dark Avengers era is far and away my favorite Marvel comic event. If only they had they gone with Michael Keaton as Norman Osborn instead of The Vulture in Homecoming, man, what an opportunity lost. Probably would have cost Marvel a crap-ton to add another movie to those expiring contracts, and pushed Infinity War back three years.
