THANK YOU!
Sincerely, as I will see this film in a few hours and I'd like to avoid any (more) spoilers!
You're welcome!
I hit one of them and thought "Huh. I would have liked to be surprised by that bit."
Tap for spoiler
Pew pew explosion pew emotional speech the end
Having read the spoilery review, I think I will enjoy it just fine. The main complaints seem to boil down to Marvel fatigue in my eyes.
I've never forgotten these are comic book movies, and carry over some of the issues that comics have.
I'm not saying they can't be better, I just don't expect all that much out of em. My expectations are for a good time and maybe a surprise or two.
Of the recent ones, Thor: Love & Thunder was easily the worst. It never decided on a tone, so kept veering from sorrowful to silly.
I liked the silly parts.
There are parts of it that I definitely like, don't get me wrong. It's just that sometimes I can take a step back and forget that it's about cancer, death, eternity, and killing all the gods in the name of revenge... because Zeus makes a bunch of dick jokes and some goats keep screaming.
Tone matters. I lost a decent amount of respect for Taika Waititi that he didn't realize he had a serious tonal conflict in his movie.
I think this is important to keep in mind. These movies are based off of comic books, which are both inherently silly, some of them terrible, and they’re doing the best they can with what they’ve got. Not every single one of these movies is gonna be an Oscar winner. The point is that they are fun above all else. For the most part, they are able to hit that target pretty well.
When you start taking all of this extremely seriously, especially people who get really bent out of shape about continuity (which I care about, but there’s only so much that can be done on that front when dealing with these comic books over the better part of a century), you gotta ask yourself why you’re watching these in the first place? If one tiny little detail is gonna trip you up and make you hate the movie, then I suggest you just skip it all together.
Is it a villain vs. villain movie?
Must be.
Anybody with "America" in their name must be up to no good. Poor America Ferrera.
That actually sounds like a good plot setup. I’d much rather watch some top tier villain groups going to war and avengers doing damage control. This movie looked dead from the first trailer.
Dr. Doom vs Chthon would be fun
I do give them props for trying to tie up some loose ends from previous films. No spoilers, but if Incredible Hulk and Eternals are fresh in your memory then you know what I'm talking about.
Looks even dumber than the other Cap'n movies that I didn't watch 🫣
