My excuse for the regress of Tony from 1 too 2 is that the iron man suit and “brand” has reinflated his ego back to what it was at the start of iron man 1. Iron man 1 was knocking down Tony stark. Iron man 2 is knocking down iron man.
yeah, but the film itself isn't about regress. it's about Tony learning to be selfless and saving the world. exactly the same as the first film. exactly the same as Avengers. exactly the same as Avengers: Infinity War. Tony Stark may be the most stale character in the whole of mcu
@@DorkN313the original version was going to be an adaptation of Demon in a Bottle so it was going to be about regression, but it was changed, we still see some elements of that idea in the final film though.
@DorkN313, how is personhood stale. His ego is a massive detriment to the person Tony wants to be. His own hubris and technical brilliance puts him in the position where he is actively working against his own goals by believing he knows the best course of action. His greatest enemy had always been himself, and the moments he gets out of his head and, by extension, his own way does he thrive. But the ego doesn't go away because it's an inherent trait, therefore an ever-present struggle. Thor grappled with being worthy across the franchise, Steve with morality in an ever changing world, Natasha and Bruce struggling with identity and who they are, and Clint being the only stable one among them, being a family man who knows his worth. A man who can, at the end of the day, hang up his bow and go back to his normal life till he receives another call to action. For most people their problems would take a lifetime to work through, and in a multi film franchise, that's exactly what they did, because they could afford to do so.
I feel like the post endgame movies have this aura of "what's the point?" The story could've ended after endgame, and it hasn't really justified it's existence
Post endgame movies have the aura of "the plot is too complex so it has a billion holes" Like seriously, it's silly how many stupid things happens in these movies. It feels like the writers went "I hope no one will ask a question about that".
It’s just too much. Looking back on the infinity saga not too many of them were straight set ups for infinity war but just had little teases and we could clearly see an endgame (pun intended). But now it feels like every project is setting up some next threat. We’ve got mutants coming, kang, doom, whatever’s going on with scarlet witch, kingpin becoming mayor, young avengers, eternals, that Shang chi post credit scene. It’s impossible to keep up with it all.
I think the post Endgame Spider-Man movies are the exception. With Far From Home, the point is to see the impact losing Tony Stark had on Peter, and with No Way Home it's about dealing with the cliffhanger of Far From Home. The movies don't set out to lay the foundation of the next climax in the MCU, they set out to tell stories about Spider-Man, that's why they work.
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

11:07 the reason that a ton of the villains are big robots is because the VFX crew who did them at first was the same crew who did the transformers movies so that’s what they were good at and got hired for. They’re the reason we even got an iron man movie in the first place because before transformers that level of mechanical VFX was considered impossible
@@henryisdumb yep. If you watch the first suit up scene from iron man 1 and compare it to the first Optimus transformation scene in transformers 1 you’ll see that it’s basically the same thing.
Fun fact: It's impossible to hitch hike from Brazil to America by road, due to the Darién Gap. Which is a coast to coast jungle with no road through it.
Well, travel vloggers did it. It was quite a horrendous journey, but they made it eventually. Those vlogs have more substance than the entire marvel cinematic universe, so check them out!
Watching Wakanda Forever made Riri feel outrageously out of place, because the whole movie genuinely felt like the characters were grieving T’challa, as the actors were grieving Chadwick Boseman, and then Riri shows up and seems… tone deaf, almost.
_then Riri shows up and seems… tone deaf, almost._ Cosign loved most of WF except some cludgy CG and RiRi who basically takes you out of the film - as Kevin Feige mandates Disney Plus spinoffs. sigh. Signs of fails to come.
@@rrando726 I like Riri. I think she’ll be a great addition to the MCU. However, I don’t think Wakanda Forever was the right film in which to add her. She was bright and bubbly, excited about joining the MCU, in a film that needed to be somber and mournful. That’s nothing against the actress, I understand that she didn’t know Chadwick Boseman, she didn’t have that connection to him that the rest of the cast did. I think she had an excellent performance for a standard MCU movie, but WF was meant to also be a memoriam, and she took us out of that space. I do look forward to seeing what they do with her character outside of Wakanda Forever, and I hope it’s handled well, but I think it would have been nicer to have her introduced in FATWS or something.
I also think it was a bad move to replace Iron Man that soon after his sacrifice. We spent ten years with Tony going from a box of scraps, to a universe saving nano-tech weapon. Iron Man the suit became part of Tony's growth as a person, leading to his sacrifice. It just felt cheap to see someone become "Iron Man" in her dorm room, as a science project. I think the character herself could be interesting, but it really wasn't the right movie to introduce her.
@@izzytodd4242 I think it couldv'e been handled well, in a kinda "this is what he was fighting for. Even if she has no connection to him, they still fight fir the same thing/his legacy is the future"
I rank The Incredible Hulk a lot higher, because even if the movie's a bit lackluster, it still gave more character to Bruce Banner/The Hulk than the entire MCU afterwards combined...
I enjoyed the movie well enough, and seemed most in line with what the hulk could have been, personally, the character just felt dull for me after the avengers, yeah it was cool and all seeing him "smash" stuff, but people often forget that it's only half of what is meant to be bruce banner/the hulk, and it doesn't help at all to see the somehow unnoticeable at the time but very obvious now decision that they made the hulk into a joke character, his power now sucks, his character now sucks, there is hardly anything interesting coming out of the hulk now, and I miss the incredible hulk's hulk because of it. if you don't believe me, then just watch the beginning of infinity war and watch thanos effortlessly beat hulk's ass in a fight. and that's far from the only example.
@@CursedAnqxl Yeah, fully agreed. I feel like they interpreted the poor box office sales of The Incredible Hulk as "this character is a failure, let's relegate him to background set dressing now so we make more money".
I was watching this while playing Minecraft (Minecraft was silent) and when I heard you say that there was a Creeper, I checked and there was actually one. Thanks for the warning! Also great video!

I find it ironic that you complain Christopher Eccleson playing an “alien” dark elf doesn’t speak English for half the film but two movies prior you were complaining that all the aliens were speaking perfect English. Just a funny observation
@@blazedonakayak5053civil war is a very good movie it's just that ppl hate on it for the reason that it wasn't comic accurate. It was more of an avengers 3.
I once had someone try telling me that Taskmaster was the villain of Black Widow and that the man who was mind controlling her every move was actually the good guy because “he created all those badass women”. That’s right; he thinks the human trafficking murderer who refuses women to control their own bodies in any way is the good guy. Coming as what should be a surprise to no one, a couple years later, I heard that this same guy also doesn’t understand the word no. What a shocker, he thinks that the guy who mind controls women is a good guy and also doesn’t understand the concept of consent? Who would have guessed it!
Okay, so the reason the giant god sticking out of the ocean hasn't been addressed yet... is because Eternals was planned for Phase 5, but got put in the slot that was saved for Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, which was actually meant for the slot Eternals took up. James Gunn got fired by Disney back in 2018/2019ish for some really old tweets, and was pushed back. The turnaround for the god sticking out of the ocean was meant to be a lot quicker.
it is wild how many outside influences have shifted the entirity of the last few phases, i say outside influence when disney fired him but you know what i mean
@josephking8186 I'm gonna be so mad if we never get Black Knight. Easily one of my favorite superheros. I just have my fingers crossed that he'll show up in Blade (if it ever gets released)
They actually were originally going to in iron man 2 originally, but some higher up told them to change or something. This is secondhand information I heard like at least a few months ago though so take that with a grain of salt
FINALLY SOMEONE PUTS RESPECT ON MY BOY ANT MAN. That first movie is amazing, definitely my favourite MCU movie. I love the character of Ant Man. Thank you for it the appreciation it deserves.
Ultimately, the reason there were no female- or minority-led MCU films prior to Civil War is Ike Perlmutter (then CEO at Marvel and owner of ToyBiz) only got involved in Marvel Comics to sell toys, and according to their data, "female and black characters don't sell toys". He was also in control of the TV division completely, which is why it deviated so far from canon, as he was trying to leverage it to force the MCU to do what he wanted (showcase the Inhumans, for one, in order to undermine the X-Men; longer story). Him trying to keep them from bringing Tony Stark in for Civil War because RDJ was too expensive is why Disney stepped in and removed him from control of Marvel Studios, after an ultimatum from Feige. Sorry. Old comic nerd who hates Perlmutter for older reasons.
I hate how some of the weird grifters are now popping up Perlmutter as some kind of hero who hates "woke Disney" and their corporate bureaucracy. He was everything he now claims to hate and it's good that he's gone
I really wish more people threw content like Daredevil and Agents of SHIELD into the conversation. Those shows were not that long ago and are significantly better than most marvel projects.
@@mr.iiconic I dont think there is any marvel disney + series with finales as good as agents of shield. Or character arcs and evolution that are as good. I especially think the villains in agents of shield are quite fantastic especially the first 5 seasons. Id also say something similar about days of future past being the best ensemble marvel film. I think marvel studios doesnt have as good villains or arcs. I think the Russos work was great. I definitely have a lot of love for some of their films. I think Marvel tv specifically did a lot of things better. mainly just compelling writing. I think the same things can be said for Daredevil it just didnt get to continue naturally.
@@TheTurbanator123 the Disney plus series suck but I would put quite a few films over AOS. I also strongly disagree that ANY X-Men film other than First Class could even be considered an ensemble, let alone a good ensemble. Those movies are wolverine and friends, each with room for like three other characters who get a portion of his spotlight, in that films case Charles, Erik and Mystique. First Class is an amazing ensemble, DOFP is a glorified wolverine film just like every X-Men movie with Logan
@@TheTurbanator123 this might just be me being a comics geek, because in the comics the X-Men based are a true ensemble where everyone spends most of their time as a supporting character and 10% of it as a main character when it's their turn to be the pov character of a particular storyline. The movies completely botched this and took a shit on everyone who wasn't Wolverine, Charles or Magneto (and later Raven, Charles and Magneto for the Apocalypse). This is why I LOVE first class, it's the only true X-MEN movie that is about X-MEN the team and not two character and their sidekicks.
@mr.iiconic yeah I mean you bringing up first class isn't a bad thing to me. It's definitely better than a lot of marvel studios films. I do think days of future past is an ensemble. Pretty crazy concept, I know. I mean the cast speaks for itself. Plenty of characters havea great moment. My brain Doesn't immediately go to wolverine with that film. I think of Charles Arc and the concepts and themes of hope. I think of Evan Peter's. I think of both magnetos. I think of the rogue cut even. I love days of future past and you pointing out that Logan gets a focus again doesn't change I like that film more than most avengers films other than civil war and infinity war. Which I would say are on par. I also love X2 and I don't think there's a film quite like it since. I do think agents of shield did multiple ideas far better. It did secret invasion better. It did evil robots better. It's capable of having comedic episodes. And it's capable of serious dramatic episodes that are dark. I think villains like John garret and Aida and Ward/Hive and The Doctor seriously run laps around marvel studios. Agents of shield even did house of M really well. And it set clear rules for the darkhold that are much better defined than what marvel studios presented. People didn't understand how the darkhold works in wandavision and multiverse of madness. They also explained time travel and multiverse ahead of the films. They did Jeffery mace before marvel studios did us agent. The other thing it does better is female characters. Agent may daisy johnson jemma Simmons mockingbird. Same with other marvel tv. Jessica jones Colleen wing Karen Paige misty knight Claire temple Overall I would say Marv studios needs to step its game up in terms of writing. I wouldn't say this other stuff is perfect btw. Defenders is flawed. The other netflix shows are quite cheap other than daredevil. Agents of shield has some slumps. But gun to my head I would take the writing of marvel tv and the works of mattew Vaughn over some of the superficial mediocre writing of marvel studios And the fact the Russos and marvel studios right now believes Robert downy Jr Dr doom is what we want and not just a reallt well thought out story is so cringe and desperate. And I mean come on almost every villain in marvel tv is far superior. Kingpin killgrave GrantWard Aida bullseye Hive Also if we are bringing up comics I think TV does comics better. For DC and Marvel.
For me the problem with the post end game movies is that they almost immediately wanted to build up the next big "thing" (the multiverse) which makes the films seem pointless on their own because they're not trying to be good movies on their own. Most of the early marvel movies (the good ones at least) were great by their own merits, not BECAUSE they where building towards infinity war, but now it feels like they expect us to like the movies just because they are part of something bigger no matter the quality of their own stories.
Its so interesting how so many criticism I hear for these movies are contradictory lol. On one side there's people complaining that the movies don't feel like they're building up to anything, and on the other there's people saying that they only feel like build up.
@@Idkwgo1 I mean people can have different experiences and view movies differently. And the movies being just build up but what they are building up to feels like it won't be very good aren't mutually exclusive.
I hadn't noticed since I only watched it the once, but Loki's expression when Thanos catches him is just perfect. It's just complete acceptance, but also distinctly an energy of "I may die, but at least I'm going out my way." Even if in such a small way, he did force Thanos's hand, managing to keep his pride by sacrificing himself instead of letting himself simply be defeated.
Foot fetish can be weird but that doesn’t make feet weird that’s so strange to me. If someone had an elbow or clavicle fetish we wouldn’t demonize a movie for showing elbows or clavicles we’d just go on with our day bc we don’t have the fetish
You just described sexualization perfectly. It’s just a body part with purposes other than sexual, but unfortunately since they’re associated with that it’s seen as inappropriate. A body is never inherently sexual, it’s just so annoying that we’ve made up this stigma around just existing in a body. Probably a bit too serious of a topic for a comment under a comment on a marvel video lmao don’t mind me I’m just writing into the void
I just had this conversation with my dad a few days ago about this (or tried, at least). Feet themselves aren't weird, I don't see someone barefoot in real life and go "FOOT FETISH", but a in a movie everything is a choice on what to show, and if the shot is the bottoms of Margot Robbie's feet all covered in dirt in the middle of the screen, that's a foot fetish scene, or if the character is barefoot where there is no need and everyone else is wearing shoes, it's a different thing from just seeing a foot (if your comment is about the hulk ignore what I just said, I just needed to get that out of my system)
hahahah thankyou, out of everything i said this is the thing people are getting the most annoyed about, so i'm glad someone else gets what i meant especially when the director has a history of it, like whedon's been doing it since buffy, and like tarantino who's addicted to being weird with them
One of the best things to come out of this most recent phase for me was Loki season 2, it’s honestly shocking that something of that quality was a Disney+ show.
@@henryisdumbjust because the fact Loki S2 is soo good, i had hope he will suddenly appeared in the end of Deadpool & Wolverine to give their "story" back after they got disintegrated by the machine-thingy-i-forgot-the-name-of.
“Do Americans not know how big Europe is?!” Meanwhile it’s only like 1.5 lengths of Ohio 😂 like yeah it’s a distance, but no one ever said they got back overnight! 😂
My exact thought was "well that's a hell of a walk but seems pretty doable" when he showed the distance on screen 😂💀 Like honestly I always assumed it was way further
“You know when you’re standing out in the middle of nowhere and you know the air that it’s about to rain, and you look down and realize you’re wearing shorts and you don’t have a coat on?” No, I do not know, what kind of life do you lead that this is a regular enough occurrence for you to use it as an analogy??? 😂😂
I’m not gonna lie, if by some miracle we actually get an end to the MCU, if the final movie is one last Deadpool, that will effectively be one of the funniest jokes ever. Just imagine it. After _everything_ since Endgame, when you finally decide to call it quits and close the curtain, the honor falls on the worst person possible, and worst I mean the best. Because he will rip those years of efforts to shreds and reduce it to 20 second joke. And because it’s Deadpool… of course it somehow works.
I cant really agree with the statement about lokis sceptre. It was obviously introduced as menacing when Loki showed up mind controlled a bunch of guys with it, killed another 10 and then shot a chopper out of the sky with it. That was the introduction, and that happened like an hour before the "explanation" of the staff as you put it happens int he movie. So I dont really get what your point was there. Great video overall tho. Very enjoyable to watch and I think you hit the nail on the head for most of the movies
i understand that but the main thing that bugs me about it is that it's always a bunch of non-descript characters that we've just met and we're supposed to be instantly invested in them, getting whooped by a vaguely magical mcguffin that we only know what it is from an exposition dump an hour later, like in comparison to say when thanos whoops everyone in infinity war you instantly know the stakes because we've had years of build up seeing the heroes win, opposed to these random shield donnies additionally after watching loki lose only a few hours before in the first thor film, he's already coming into the film with lower expectations because, we've already seen him lose
I dont know, even as just a "mind control stick" it still provides plenty of stakes and menace. Especially on a first watch, where you dont know that it wont affect ironman during the loki talk. Like, all our heros, save thor are just guys. Theres no reason it wouldnt work on em. r@henryisdumb
I didn't like Quantumania either, but it really irks me when people repeat objective falsehoods like "Kang was beaten by ants", especially when those people supposedly *just* rewatched the movie & should know otherwise.
My least favorite thing is when people say shit like Scott should've endangered the multiverse cause he wanted more time with his daughter, just cause the trailer hinted at it
For someone, who is supposedly mega powerful multiverse villain, Kang had way too much trouble with those ants. And objectively, he WAS defeated by ants. Without ants, Ant-Man would've lost that whole battle.
Kang was beaten by ants. That's why people say it. But it's worse. He was beaten by Earth men from 21st century 1000 years before he was born. He supposedly needed their tech to fix the flat tire in his time machine. I'm going to stop right there. The film is objectively stupid. Period. And the writers for this film and Multiverse of Madness have fired because of it.
I never agree with “big cgi fight” as a complaint. Some of the things we want to see from comic book stuff, kinda requires cgi. So like…where’s the problem? Do people expect the film makers to make legit Iron Man suits and cast the actual Hulk? Big cgi fights are totally okie dokie in my book
I don't understand the trauma with CGI. If you can't make an actual moving robot that shoots lasers and missiles, then you have to use CGI, you got no other option. Same goes with a giant dragon, a giant crocodile, and so on.
A case of those who preach loudest having the most to hide… Broadly speaking, he seems to have way too much to say surrounding any instance of a woman being shown in revealing clothing. It’s almost as if he has an exceedingly difficult time imagining that women in film are human. He might be served alarmingly well moving to a country that practices sharia.
You must have serious issues to see someone being adverse to feet and see that as an equivalent to religiously systematic misogyny@@realistic_delinquent
As far as I’m concerned, I didn’t like Ragnarok because all the relationships between those characters were treated as a joke. Odin’s death is even less emotional than Frigga’s death in Thor 2. Loki and Thor’s relationship is reduced to a joke (when Loki betrays Thor and then Thor brings him down, they act childish just for comedic effect. I miss the great rivalry they had in Thor 1, Avengers, and yes even Thor 2).
@@henryisdumb didn’t like it either. For me those two movies are pretty much the same. But at least the chaotic tone makes more sense as the story told by Korg.
I think this is the worst marvel take I've seen in my life ngl. Odin's death is emotional and actually has weight and importance unlike Frigga's. Also Loki and Thor's relationship isn't "reduced" to a joke. There's like one scene where they make a joke about their relationship. They have multiple serious conversations during the movie. Just because the movie's a comedy doesn't mean everything is supposed to be a joke
@@d3va383 I felt nothing during his death. He just happened to be dying and says « Yeah I’m about to die, good luck with Héla dudes. » Plus the timing was a mess, as it comes after a scene where Loki is ridiculed by Doctor Strange and before a scene where Thor is captured ridiculously by Valkyrie.
If you do a sequel to this with the TV shows, make sure to include Daredevil. It isn't technically canon to the MCU despite referencing Avengers-era events sometimes (same with all the Netflix shows I believe), but seasons 1 and 3 of Daredevil is genuinely the best tv Marvel has ever made, and in my opinion are the heights of the MCU as a whole. Season 2 is doodoo tho :(
Personally I didn’t like externals very much, but I have no issue with the things you mentioned. I’m fine with the celestial being dead in the ocean, it’s a little weird, but whatever. Me just being pedantic, it’s definitely way too small, compared to the size shown in the scene where it destroys a planet as it “hatches”. My main problem comes from the existence of deviants and the celestial as a big bad. It kinda feels like the movie should have been extended and dealt with those two ideas and threats separately. Also I’m just tired of new characters dealing with world ending threats by themselves. I love Shang-Chi, but I’m annoyed by its final boss for the same reason. Also the nature of the eternals as a team doesn’t feel like it was fleshed out enough, with the whole thing going on where they can forget themselves and become mindless killing machines. It needed more time. Lastly Circi’s powers were treated weirdly throughout the film. It is shown pretty well at first that she can change the material something is made of, but not the shape. The bus is a fun example when she turns it into petals, then it collapses. But the crux of the film has her turn the deviant into a tree. In that case she changes shape, but not material. Then proceeds to never have her do that again. Maybe it was meant to showcase that she can use her powers on living things, but if so they did it wrong. I don’t even know where a celestial would even stand in regard to that. The death of the celestial also just felt weird to me. I don’t read the comics, just read too much into movies. In the end people are allowed to enjoy stuff even if others didn’t. Thanks for reading and have a nice day
1:00:00 You nailed it, expectation were risen to a absurd level, not every Marvel movie has go be infinity war or endgame, some will be have lower stakes or less repercutions and lower "quality" but that is expected. I'm amazed that people think that Marvel didn't do a stinger until phase 4. But also believe that the shows impacted how audiences respond to marvel content and made the "marvel has fall off since endgame" more louder Edit: 1:01:24 I think you point out something very important, the difference in expectation pre-release and then revisiting the movie, now knowing what to expect from it.
yes and even with the TV shows, with Wandavision it was insane, every little mystery or vague reference equaled cameo, and almost in every project it was like when is a mutant goig to show up? even when it didn't make sense.
Yeah exactly this. I've enjoyed most of the MCU films that have come out post endgame, because I always knew they were never going to be the next 'endgame', but set ups for the future 'endgames' I even enjoyed love and thunder (even though it has chronic Ragnarok syndrome) because I didn't expect it to be the next game changer While some are objectively worse than others, to compare it all to endgame and say with a serious face 'the MCU has fallen off' when only a handful of the latest films and series are objectively bad feels disingenuous Edit: I also keep my nose out of all the discourse and trailers so I don't have my expectations set into the stratesphere either
@@User-b9q2z cuz i don’t praise people for making random changes to things, i praise them for making a good change. i don’t have a problem with this change, im just not sure what’s praiseworthy about it. seems pretty neutral to me.
The mcu has always been a bit hit or miss with the quality of each film. And I do agree that our expectations were risen way too high after endgame, but I also think the amount of stuff to watch has also soured the experience as well. The tv shows should have never been part of the main story. No one wants to do homework for their movies.
By Tony Stark standards, Tony Stark was an absolute gentleman with Pepper in Iron Man 1. He flirted with her, yes, but he never as much as kissed her until she became the CEO of his company. Somewhere in his lizard brain he understood that she was different than all the other girls that passed thru his life and required more formal courtship, and her status absolutely mattered.
I’m still a fan of the MCU. They have at least proven that they can still make good stuff (when it’s not being rushed). For every bland or forgettable Marvel film, there’s always a great movie that reminds me why I love these movies. Plus this is the only ongoing franchise that I actually get excited for.
You decided to watch every single MCU movie, and EVEN THE BAD ONES just to make a video ranking them? I may not understand you, but you have my respect
When I woke up in a hospital hooked up to a million machines and unable to move on my own, when they asked me what to put on the tv I said Iron Man. I'm not sure why it came to me in that moment, Im not big a fan of hero movies, but damn it hit the spot. Cant believe you put it so low on your initial scale.
1. Captain America The Winter Soldier 2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 4. Captain America Civil War 5. Avenger Infinity War 6. Black Panther 7. Avengers Age of Ultron 8. Spider-Man Homecoming 9. Iron Man 3 10. Ant-Man
for the last month ive decided to binge all the marvel movies after intentionally ignoring them all my life so watching this video was nice giving me a different point of view for all the movies i just watched
IMO The absolute worst moment in all the MCU was when Thanks killed Gamora for the Soul stone. They established that Thanos genuinely didn't care about Gamora, Nebula or any of his "children." He tortured and abused them and sacrificed them like pawns. And so when sacrificing her to get the souls WORKS somehow... The movie basically confirms that his abusive behavior was somehow... Love? Like not even in a "he believed that he loved her." Way, but in a "the magic of the universe says that his abusive love is fine." Wouldn't it have been so much better if he killed Gamora and nothing happened? It would show that the soul stone has the ultimate protection. You have to kill something you love to get it, but if you are willing to kill what you love for selfish gain, then you never really loved it in the beginning. It would also set up the Hawkeye/Black Widow sacrifice more. You can only get the soul stone by sacrificing yourself, because if you really love someone you would rather put yourself in harms way and that would actually be love.
Apperently the univerde agreed that there is a greater thing then love, and i doubt that it was thanos' selfishness that was its cause. Yes, he had a goal, and that goal was greater then the love he had for his children
It wasn't "the universe", it was specifically the Soul Stone, and the Infinity Stones are shown to be both sapient and malevolent. The Mind Stone is the most obvious example: in the first Avengers movie it influences the Avengers into arguing, and in the second Avengers movie it creates Ultron. But all of the Infinity Stones (except the Time Stone, which is implicitly reined in by sorcerer magic) have at least one scene that shows they're bad news. I don't think it's that far of a stretch for the Soul Stone to judge Thanos's sacrifice of Gamora as "good enough" based solely on how sad he was about it. Also for what it's worth, it's stated at one point (I forget when but I think it was in Guardians of the Galaxy) that the Infinity Stones _want_ to be reunited. Thanos was obviously the best candidate for the job, so that could've been a factor in the Soul Stone's decision to accept his sacrifice of Gamora as well.
The fact this man feels a need to point out every time a character is barefoot when I have seen all of these movies several times and never noticed it in a single scene??? Bro, you got a problem, not the movie
You really should have done a 4 hour video, or maybe multiple parts. People would have watched it all, I know I would, you're really funny and honestly I like the plot recaps
He didn't hitchhike from Brazil. He only hitchhiked from Guatemala. After he hulked out in the factory he woke up in Guatemala. You can call that unrealistic if you want but after he hulked out in Age of Ultron he woke up 2 years later on another planet.
Very rare that I manage to sit through a 1 hour+ UA-cam video, but I definitely did with this one and the time flew by. Super entertaining channel and I'm so glad UA-cam recommended it to me. Can't wait to see more videos
i'm glad my opinions weren't too atrocious, thank you that means a lot! i'm legit writing the last chapter of my next video currently so should hopefully be up in the next two weeks
@@henryisdumb some opinions I definitely didn't agree on but that's what makes it an opinion haha. Your charisma and humour definitely makes up for that 😂. Can't wait for the new video!
I thinks ethernals is getting so much flame for no reason. That movie is incredibly ambitious, introducing a bunch of new characters, and has a darker tone to it, and I think it does it super well, for me its an A+ tbh. I just feel like some people who like it are afraid to say it out loud, and they shouldnt
Honestly I think most of them haven't even been that bad. People these days just really exaggerate the flaws of whatever media they consume, and make everything sound worse than it actually is.
43:03 I would not put Infinity War in S-tier (sorry). One of my biggest pet peeves in storytelling is when the heroes have a clear opportunity to kill or disarm the villain and they just... don't. That moment where Star Lord gets mad and screws up the plan makes me SO ANGRY. I also remember thinking the whole "there's only one reality where we win" thing is a stupid excuse to not show why certain methods of defeating Thanos wouldn't work. Like, why can't they use Strange's portal thingies to cut Thanos' hands off? Why do they keep trying to pull the glove off of him instead of CUTTING HIS HAND OFF? The answer is just "uhhhhh we don't win in that reality" but WHY NOT? What could Thanos possibly do to counter that? I would genuinely love to know!
Fr, everyone is holding the idiot ball so hard in infinity war (and parts of endgame) that I can't really take it seriously. Like, why the hell was everyone okay with sacrificing the lives of hundreds of wakandans on the off chance that they could help vision? (not to mention the fact that vision is played by a white guy and the wakandan soldiers are black, which makes it not a great look.) Why did Loki, a guy who's been shown to be really clever and have impressive magical ability just decide to go at thanos with nothing but a dagger? And hard agree with the reality thing; that was ridiculous. And for endgame, when bruce has the infinity gauntlet that makes them basically omnipotent, he uses it to bring back everyone who died, rather than making it so the snap never happened, which would have avoided all of the chaos and problems that having earth's population suddenly double would have. (also imo they should have had steve sacrifice himself and tony retire to be with his family, not the other way around, which does a pretty big disservice to steve's character arc about moving on from the past and finding family in the present). But the scene where steve used thor's hammer was so baller that I audibly gasped in the theatre so it wasn't all bad.
How does Paul Bettanys race have anything to do with the movie? Also Tony says to Bruce that he can’t revert the snap 5 years ago because he has his family in the present day and doesn’t want to lose that, that was his one condition for going through with the time heist
How about how him killing his daughter was the correct way to get the soul stone. Is this supposed to prove he loved her? If anything, killing her should be what stops Thanos from getting the soul stone.
hahah yeah sorry about that, i had a bit about it but i cut it because i didn't wanna bum everyone out - basically, my childhood cat died around the time i first saw black panther 2 and now i can't disconnect those two things, hope that makes sense, also thanks for the kind words!
I don't disagree with anything so far but i did just laugh out loud when you complained about Christopher Eccleston's villain not speaking English until 40min into Dark World after literally complaining about aliens wanting to take over the earth and somehow all being able to speak English, just a few minutes earlier 😂
I knew British people were prudish, but being upset about feet this much MUST be a phobia of some kind. No one I know even noticed any of the feet in question were there, including me. Bro, I say this as someone who agrees with most of your takes: please calm down.
i'm not scared of feet hahahahahh, i've said this in so many replies at this point, the day before i watched these i read several articles and interviews about how whedon the director was a general creep and weirdo to every woman on set and in their life, so going into the film i was hyper vigilant hence why i mention it twice
I came to the comment section on seeing that bit just to point out that Joss Whedon was the director and that, aside from stale writing style, he also fills his works with all the sexist, abusive, crap, like his foot fetish being forced on the actress playing Pepper. He also doesn't get Captain America at all, and thinks that not getting pop culture was some kind of noteworthy weakness for him to demonstrate. Yeah, Joss, we get it. A guy from the 40s doesn't know very recent pop culture stuff. So what?
@@dillydraws yeah what? 😭every american ive ever had to deal with has complained about us being too unfiltered... now we're prudish too? fam feet are just ugly
Making a god bleed is a theme he said there is no one else with that tech the whole movie is about the press wanting his tech as weapons for the army but he insist that no one can make it… someone made it and fought him in public to show people do need protection it only cements the avenger initiative
Something that's really aggravating about how little effort was put into the captain marvel movie is how much effort was put into secret wars (which already no one cares about) is that secret wars retroactively makes the genocide against the Skrull somehow justified!!!! Like literally what the fuck?!?! Like the plot of Captain marvel (how many captains are there?) is her realizing that her superiors have been lying to her and using her not just as a weapon of war but a weapon of genocide against a group of people who potentially could threaten their seat of power in the larger galaxy/universe. Secret wars is literally about the Skrull snatching and replacing people so they can take over the planets's government so they can take over and abuse the seats of power in the larger galaxy/universe!!!! With the introduction of secret wars marvel literally pulled a "what if the mustache man was right?" Like how genuinely fucked up is that?!
It's so funny that you said that the aliens in Avengers could speak English so that's bad, but the villain for Thor 2 didn't speak English until late in the movie and that is also bad.
Tony Stark isn't supposed to be a flawed hero, he's supposed to be the absolute last person for the job. He's a womanising billionaire playboy who trades in WMDs, plays both sides, drinks like an alcoholic fish, and has an ego the size of a helicarrier. Without his own weapon literally blowing up in his face, he was on track his supervillain origin story. He mends his ways, but it's not an over night thing. He haunted by his past and feels like he's living in his father's shadow. The MCU tones it down, but he's literally meant to be Andrew Tate.
my only comment is that ur actually just completely wrong with 1 point of GOTG 3, cuz u said 'Gunn had no curve balls from Feige' which.... yeah u musta forgot that Gamora died in the movies before lol. most of the story of GOTG 3 is dealing with the fact OG Gamora is dead and Quill cant get used to New Gamora. aside from that this was a super fun video, i enjoyed it! :)
honestly i would love to see this format of video with the marvel TV shows, including the older ones like agent carter and agents of shield. I also think something like this with all the xmen movies could be really cool!!
Ike Perlmutter is why we didn't get a Captain Marvel, Black Panther or Black Widow movie till as late as we did. He came from the toy business and during his time at Marvel he was responsible for something that I feel like rarely gets mentioned. In 'Avengers: Several Days of Ultron' there's a scene where Black Widow has to chase down Cap on a motorbike. When the toy came out Cap had gained a new power in the ability to teleport as he was now the character on the bike and Black Widow was nowhere to be seen in that or really any merch from around that time. Same with Gamora because Perlmutter didn't think "girl" superheroes would sell. He was also the guy who, when they swapped out Don Cheadle for Terrence Howard, said nobody would notice because "all black people look the same". Probably no coincidence he's a not so secret advisor and financial supporter of a current presidential candidate.
I don't know what it is, but I genuinely cannot bring myself to hate iron man 2. You can tell me everything bad about it as much as you want but it never manages to change anything.
I will forever stand by the idea that, in the last fight in Black Panther, T'challa shouldn't have had a suit. He should have only had the power of the Herb and lured Killmonger into the mines as a way to even the odds.
MCU is unironically dog shit It started at mid tier and slowly went down Peaked at endgame But it has horrible action Crap villains Crap dialogue Mediocre effects Crap comedy everyone thinks it's amazing Some decent films Mainly captain America and spider man films
My excuse for the regress of Tony from 1 too 2 is that the iron man suit and “brand” has reinflated his ego back to what it was at the start of iron man 1. Iron man 1 was knocking down Tony stark. Iron man 2 is knocking down iron man.
that makes a whole bunch of sense actually, maybe i was too harsh
yeah, but the film itself isn't about regress. it's about Tony learning to be selfless and saving the world. exactly the same as the first film. exactly the same as Avengers. exactly the same as Avengers: Infinity War. Tony Stark may be the most stale character in the whole of mcu
@@DorkN313the original version was going to be an adaptation of Demon in a Bottle so it was going to be about regression, but it was changed, we still see some elements of that idea in the final film though.
I really agree with this, mainly because this has happened to me a lot, just cuz someone is humbled once doesn't mean they shouldnt be in the future
@DorkN313, how is personhood stale. His ego is a massive detriment to the person Tony wants to be. His own hubris and technical brilliance puts him in the position where he is actively working against his own goals by believing he knows the best course of action. His greatest enemy had always been himself, and the moments he gets out of his head and, by extension, his own way does he thrive. But the ego doesn't go away because it's an inherent trait, therefore an ever-present struggle. Thor grappled with being worthy across the franchise, Steve with morality in an ever changing world, Natasha and Bruce struggling with identity and who they are, and Clint being the only stable one among them, being a family man who knows his worth. A man who can, at the end of the day, hang up his bow and go back to his normal life till he receives another call to action. For most people their problems would take a lifetime to work through, and in a multi film franchise, that's exactly what they did, because they could afford to do so.
Thor 2's biggest crime is still trying to spend the first 90% being ultra serious, then concludes with a Scooby Doo chase but with CGI portals
Honestly part where Thor and Loki break out was hilarious.
I AM PRESSING IT GENTLY @@lv67890
Except for the scene where Thor puts his hammer on the coat rack. That was one of the main highlights from Thor 2

I feel like the post endgame movies have this aura of "what's the point?" The story could've ended after endgame, and it hasn't really justified it's existence
Post endgame movies have the aura of "the plot is too complex so it has a billion holes" Like seriously, it's silly how many stupid things happens in these movies. It feels like the writers went "I hope no one will ask a question about that".
It’s just too much. Looking back on the infinity saga not too many of them were straight set ups for infinity war but just had little teases and we could clearly see an endgame (pun intended). But now it feels like every project is setting up some next threat. We’ve got mutants coming, kang, doom, whatever’s going on with scarlet witch, kingpin becoming mayor, young avengers, eternals, that Shang chi post credit scene. It’s impossible to keep up with it all.
I think the post Endgame Spider-Man movies are the exception. With Far From Home, the point is to see the impact losing Tony Stark had on Peter, and with No Way Home it's about dealing with the cliffhanger of Far From Home. The movies don't set out to lay the foundation of the next climax in the MCU, they set out to tell stories about Spider-Man, that's why they work.
They should have just taken a break for a few years. No TV shows, no movies, nothing. Give us time to miss them.

11:07 the reason that a ton of the villains are big robots is because the VFX crew who did them at first was the same crew who did the transformers movies so that’s what they were good at and got hired for. They’re the reason we even got an iron man movie in the first place because before transformers that level of mechanical VFX was considered impossible
wow, really??? that's genuinely super interesting
@@henryisdumb yep. If you watch the first suit up scene from iron man 1 and compare it to the first Optimus transformation scene in transformers 1 you’ll see that it’s basically the same thing.

_then Riri shows up and seems… tone deaf, almost._
Cosign loved most of WF except some cludgy CG and RiRi who basically takes you out of the film - as Kevin Feige mandates Disney Plus spinoffs. sigh. Signs of fails to come.
@@rrando726 I like Riri. I think she’ll be a great addition to the MCU. However, I don’t think Wakanda Forever was the right film in which to add her. She was bright and bubbly, excited about joining the MCU, in a film that needed to be somber and mournful. That’s nothing against the actress, I understand that she didn’t know Chadwick Boseman, she didn’t have that connection to him that the rest of the cast did. I think she had an excellent performance for a standard MCU movie, but WF was meant to also be a memoriam, and she took us out of that space.
I do look forward to seeing what they do with her character outside of Wakanda Forever, and I hope it’s handled well, but I think it would have been nicer to have her introduced in FATWS or something.
I also think it was a bad move to replace Iron Man that soon after his sacrifice. We spent ten years with Tony going from a box of scraps, to a universe saving nano-tech weapon. Iron Man the suit became part of Tony's growth as a person, leading to his sacrifice. It just felt cheap to see someone become "Iron Man" in her dorm room, as a science project. I think the character herself could be interesting, but it really wasn't the right movie to introduce her.

I enjoyed the movie well enough, and seemed most in line with what the hulk could have been, personally, the character just felt dull for me after the avengers, yeah it was cool and all seeing him "smash" stuff, but people often forget that it's only half of what is meant to be bruce banner/the hulk, and it doesn't help at all to see the somehow unnoticeable at the time but very obvious now decision that they made the hulk into a joke character, his power now sucks, his character now sucks, there is hardly anything interesting coming out of the hulk now, and I miss the incredible hulk's hulk because of it. if you don't believe me, then just watch the beginning of infinity war and watch thanos effortlessly beat hulk's ass in a fight. and that's far from the only example.
@@CursedAnqxl Yeah, fully agreed. I feel like they interpreted the poor box office sales of The Incredible Hulk as "this character is a failure, let's relegate him to background set dressing now so we make more money".

Hell yeah!
Ultimately, the reason there were no female- or minority-led MCU films prior to Civil War is Ike Perlmutter (then CEO at Marvel and owner of ToyBiz) only got involved in Marvel Comics to sell toys, and according to their data, "female and black characters don't sell toys". He was also in control of the TV division completely, which is why it deviated so far from canon, as he was trying to leverage it to force the MCU to do what he wanted (showcase the Inhumans, for one, in order to undermine the X-Men; longer story). Him trying to keep them from bringing Tony Stark in for Civil War because RDJ was too expensive is why Disney stepped in and removed him from control of Marvel Studios, after an ultimatum from Feige.
Sorry. Old comic nerd who hates Perlmutter for older reasons.
I hate how some of the weird grifters are now popping up Perlmutter as some kind of hero who hates "woke Disney" and their corporate bureaucracy. He was everything he now claims to hate and it's good that he's gone

Those movies are wolverine and friends, each with room for like three other characters who get a portion of his spotlight, in that films case Charles, Erik and Mystique. First Class is an amazing ensemble, DOFP is a glorified wolverine film just like every X-Men movie with Logan
@@TheTurbanator123 this might just be me being a comics geek, because in the comics the X-Men based are a true ensemble where everyone spends most of their time as a supporting character and 10% of it as a main character when it's their turn to be the pov character of a particular storyline. The movies completely botched this and took a shit on everyone who wasn't Wolverine, Charles or Magneto (and later Raven, Charles and Magneto for the Apocalypse). This is why I LOVE first class, it's the only true X-MEN movie that is about X-MEN the team and not two character and their sidekicks.
@mr.iiconic yeah I mean you bringing up first class isn't a bad thing to me. It's definitely better than a lot of marvel studios films. I do think days of future past is an ensemble. Pretty crazy concept, I know. I mean the cast speaks for itself. Plenty of characters havea great moment. My brain Doesn't immediately go to wolverine with that film. I think of Charles Arc and the concepts and themes of hope. I think of Evan Peter's. I think of both magnetos. I think of the rogue cut even. I love days of future past and you pointing out that Logan gets a focus again doesn't change I like that film more than most avengers films other than civil war and infinity war. Which I would say are on par. I also love X2 and I don't think there's a film quite like it since.
I do think agents of shield did multiple ideas far better. It did secret invasion better. It did evil robots better. It's capable of having comedic episodes. And it's capable of serious dramatic episodes that are dark. I think villains like John garret and Aida and Ward/Hive and The Doctor seriously run laps around marvel studios. Agents of shield even did house of M really well. And it set clear rules for the darkhold that are much better defined than what marvel studios presented. People didn't understand how the darkhold works in wandavision and multiverse of madness. They also explained time travel and multiverse ahead of the films. They did Jeffery mace before marvel studios did us agent.
The other thing it does better is female characters. Agent may daisy johnson jemma Simmons mockingbird.
Same with other marvel tv. Jessica jones Colleen wing Karen Paige misty knight Claire temple
Overall I would say Marv studios needs to step its game up in terms of writing.
I wouldn't say this other stuff is perfect btw. Defenders is flawed. The other netflix shows are quite cheap other than daredevil. Agents of shield has some slumps.
But gun to my head I would take the writing of marvel tv and the works of mattew Vaughn over some of the superficial mediocre writing of marvel studios
And the fact the Russos and marvel studios right now believes Robert downy Jr Dr doom is what we want and not just a reallt well thought out story is so cringe and desperate.
And I mean come on almost every villain in marvel tv is far superior. Kingpin killgrave GrantWard Aida bullseye Hive
Also if we are bringing up comics I think TV does comics better. For DC and Marvel.
For me the problem with the post end game movies is that they almost immediately wanted to build up the next big "thing" (the multiverse) which makes the films seem pointless on their own because they're not trying to be good movies on their own. Most of the early marvel movies (the good ones at least) were great by their own merits, not BECAUSE they where building towards infinity war, but now it feels like they expect us to like the movies just because they are part of something bigger no matter the quality of their own stories.
Its so interesting how so many criticism I hear for these movies are contradictory lol. On one side there's people complaining that the movies don't feel like they're building up to anything, and on the other there's people saying that they only feel like build up.
@@Idkwgo1 I mean people can have different experiences and view movies differently. And the movies being just build up but what they are building up to feels like it won't be very good aren't mutually exclusive.
I hadn't noticed since I only watched it the once, but Loki's expression when Thanos catches him is just perfect. It's just complete acceptance, but also distinctly an energy of "I may die, but at least I'm going out my way." Even if in such a small way, he did force Thanos's hand, managing to keep his pride by sacrificing himself instead of letting himself simply be defeated.
Alternate title: Henry Lewis watch the mcu and gets angry at people having feet

Foot fetish can be weird but that doesn’t make feet weird that’s so strange to me. If someone had an elbow or clavicle fetish we wouldn’t demonize a movie for showing elbows or clavicles we’d just go on with our day bc we don’t have the fetish
You just described sexualization perfectly. It’s just a body part with purposes other than sexual, but unfortunately since they’re associated with that it’s seen as inappropriate. A body is never inherently sexual, it’s just so annoying that we’ve made up this stigma around just existing in a body.
Probably a bit too serious of a topic for a comment under a comment on a marvel video lmao don’t mind me I’m just writing into the void

google joss whedons wonder woman script
I just had this conversation with my dad a few days ago about this (or tried, at least). Feet themselves aren't weird, I don't see someone barefoot in real life and go "FOOT FETISH", but a in a movie everything is a choice on what to show, and if the shot is the bottoms of Margot Robbie's feet all covered in dirt in the middle of the screen, that's a foot fetish scene, or if the character is barefoot where there is no need and everyone else is wearing shoes, it's a different thing from just seeing a foot (if your comment is about the hulk ignore what I just said, I just needed to get that out of my system)
hahahah thankyou, out of everything i said this is the thing people are getting the most annoyed about, so i'm glad someone else gets what i meant
especially when the director has a history of it, like whedon's been doing it since buffy, and like tarantino who's addicted to being weird with them

I’m not gonna lie, if by some miracle we actually get an end to the MCU, if the final movie is one last Deadpool, that will effectively be one of the funniest jokes ever.
Just imagine it. After _everything_ since Endgame, when you finally decide to call it quits and close the curtain, the honor falls on the worst person possible, and worst I mean the best. Because he will rip those years of efforts to shreds and reduce it to 20 second joke. And because it’s Deadpool… of course it somehow works.
Adapting the Deadpool killogy would be a funny way to do that
I cant really agree with the statement about lokis sceptre. It was obviously introduced as menacing when Loki showed up mind controlled a bunch of guys with it, killed another 10 and then shot a chopper out of the sky with it. That was the introduction, and that happened like an hour before the "explanation" of the staff as you put it happens int he movie. So I dont really get what your point was there.
Great video overall tho. Very enjoyable to watch and I think you hit the nail on the head for most of the movies
i understand that but the main thing that bugs me about it is that it's always a bunch of non-descript characters that we've just met and we're supposed to be instantly invested in them, getting whooped by a vaguely magical mcguffin that we only know what it is from an exposition dump an hour later, like in comparison to say when thanos whoops everyone in infinity war you instantly know the stakes because we've had years of build up seeing the heroes win, opposed to these random shield donnies
additionally after watching loki lose only a few hours before in the first thor film, he's already coming into the film with lower expectations because, we've already seen him lose
I dont know, even as just a "mind control stick" it still provides plenty of stakes and menace. Especially on a first watch, where you dont know that it wont affect ironman during the loki talk.
Like, all our heros, save thor are just guys. Theres no reason it wouldnt work on em. r@henryisdumb
I didn't like Quantumania either, but it really irks me when people repeat objective falsehoods like "Kang was beaten by ants", especially when those people supposedly *just* rewatched the movie & should know otherwise.
My least favorite thing is when people say shit like Scott should've endangered the multiverse cause he wanted more time with his daughter, just cause the trailer hinted at it
For someone, who is supposedly mega powerful multiverse villain, Kang had way too much trouble with those ants.
And objectively, he WAS defeated by ants. Without ants, Ant-Man would've lost that whole battle.
@@danielkiran8174 Objectively, he wasn't; otherwise he wouldn't have been able to slug it out with Scott afterwards.
Kang was beaten by ants. That's why people say it. But it's worse. He was beaten by Earth men from 21st century 1000 years before he was born. He supposedly needed their tech to fix the flat tire in his time machine.
I'm going to stop right there. The film is objectively stupid. Period. And the writers for this film and Multiverse of Madness have fired because of it.
@@rrando726 If the Pym tech can't fix his time machine, then he should be even *easier* to beat in that movie.
I never agree with “big cgi fight” as a complaint. Some of the things we want to see from comic book stuff, kinda requires cgi. So like…where’s the problem? Do people expect the film makers to make legit Iron Man suits and cast the actual Hulk? Big cgi fights are totally okie dokie in my book
Yeah that has literally never made sense to me. These movies are big action Blockbusters. A huge climatic fight scene is exactly how it should be imo.
I don't understand the trauma with CGI.
If you can't make an actual moving robot that shoots lasers and missiles, then you have to use CGI, you got no other option.
Same goes with a giant dragon, a giant crocodile, and so on.
It's one of those things that's impossible to explain to someone who doesn't immediately understand it

Broadly speaking, he seems to have way too much to say surrounding any instance of a woman being shown in revealing clothing. It’s almost as if he has an exceedingly difficult time imagining that women in film are human. He might be served alarmingly well moving to a country that practices sharia.
You must have serious issues to see someone being adverse to feet and see that as an equivalent to religiously systematic misogyny@@realistic_delinquent
As far as I’m concerned, I didn’t like Ragnarok because all the relationships between those characters were treated as a joke. Odin’s death is even less emotional than Frigga’s death in Thor 2. Loki and Thor’s relationship is reduced to a joke (when Loki betrays Thor and then Thor brings him down, they act childish just for comedic effect. I miss the great rivalry they had in Thor 1, Avengers, and yes even Thor 2).
i'm intrigued what did you think of love and thunder
@@henryisdumb didn’t like it either. For me those two movies are pretty much the same.
But at least the chaotic tone makes more sense as the story told by Korg.
So you prefer them estranged?
I think this is the worst marvel take I've seen in my life ngl. Odin's death is emotional and actually has weight and importance unlike Frigga's. Also Loki and Thor's relationship isn't "reduced" to a joke. There's like one scene where they make a joke about their relationship. They have multiple serious conversations during the movie. Just because the movie's a comedy doesn't mean everything is supposed to be a joke
@@d3va383 I felt nothing during his death. He just happened to be dying and says « Yeah I’m about to die, good luck with Héla dudes. »
Plus the timing was a mess, as it comes after a scene where Loki is ridiculed by Doctor Strange and before a scene where Thor is captured ridiculously by Valkyrie.
If I recall, Black Widow got the bad luck of the draw because of the pandemic. Despite the movie getting delayed, the merchandise release didn’t.
But I love iron man 2 😭 9:27

If you do a sequel to this with the TV shows, make sure to include Daredevil. It isn't technically canon to the MCU despite referencing Avengers-era events sometimes (same with all the Netflix shows I believe), but seasons 1 and 3 of Daredevil is genuinely the best tv Marvel has ever made, and in my opinion are the heights of the MCU as a whole. Season 2 is doodoo tho :(
idk why ppl hate eternals, they only think i dislike is the ending too, because wdym there’s a guy in the ocean now and this one guy has a sword
Lol when the ending happened I was like "that's it? Ending is over?" I'll take tho cause the Arishem appearing stuff was sick af
that whole scene is so so good, which makes me think they may actually do galactus right now just because of arishem's size and impact
i really liked it, i think it's one of my faves post endgame, there's just a few annoying bits but apart from that its solid
I did like Eternals too I thought it was fun but the sword post credits scene is dumb
Personally I didn’t like externals very much, but I have no issue with the things you mentioned. I’m fine with the celestial being dead in the ocean, it’s a little weird, but whatever. Me just being pedantic, it’s definitely way too small, compared to the size shown in the scene where it destroys a planet as it “hatches”.
My main problem comes from the existence of deviants and the celestial as a big bad. It kinda feels like the movie should have been extended and dealt with those two ideas and threats separately. Also I’m just tired of new characters dealing with world ending threats by themselves. I love Shang-Chi, but I’m annoyed by its final boss for the same reason.
Also the nature of the eternals as a team doesn’t feel like it was fleshed out enough, with the whole thing going on where they can forget themselves and become mindless killing machines. It needed more time.
Lastly Circi’s powers were treated weirdly throughout the film. It is shown pretty well at first that she can change the material something is made of, but not the shape. The bus is a fun example when she turns it into petals, then it collapses. But the crux of the film has her turn the deviant into a tree. In that case she changes shape, but not material. Then proceeds to never have her do that again. Maybe it was meant to showcase that she can use her powers on living things, but if so they did it wrong. I don’t even know where a celestial would even stand in regard to that. The death of the celestial also just felt weird to me.
I don’t read the comics, just read too much into movies. In the end people are allowed to enjoy stuff even if others didn’t. Thanks for reading and have a nice day
honestly I thought the facial hair joke was well executed and it didn't look that bad, King.
1:00:00 You nailed it, expectation were risen to a absurd level, not every Marvel movie has go be infinity war or endgame, some will be have lower stakes or less repercutions and lower "quality" but that is expected. I'm amazed that people think that Marvel didn't do a stinger until phase 4. But also believe that the shows impacted how audiences respond to marvel content and made the "marvel has fall off since endgame" more louder
Edit: 1:01:24 I think you point out something very important, the difference in expectation pre-release and then revisiting the movie, now knowing what to expect from it.
i think it is a mad thing to think about, even now with the whole five hundred people rumoured to be in secret wars it's happening again
yes and even with the TV shows, with Wandavision it was insane, every little mystery or vague reference equaled cameo, and almost in every project it was like when is a mutant goig to show up? even when it didn't make sense.
Yeah exactly this. I've enjoyed most of the MCU films that have come out post endgame, because I always knew they were never going to be the next 'endgame', but set ups for the future 'endgames'
I even enjoyed love and thunder (even though it has chronic Ragnarok syndrome) because I didn't expect it to be the next game changer
While some are objectively worse than others, to compare it all to endgame and say with a serious face 'the MCU has fallen off' when only a handful of the latest films and series are objectively bad feels disingenuous
Edit: I also keep my nose out of all the discourse and trailers so I don't have my expectations set into the stratesphere either
wild that in 2024 you glossed over the fact that the amputee girl you mentioned during I3, was actually Jenna Ortega, at the start of her career.

The mcu has always been a bit hit or miss with the quality of each film. And I do agree that our expectations were risen way too high after endgame, but I also think the amount of stuff to watch has also soured the experience as well. The tv shows should have never been part of the main story. No one wants to do homework for their movies.

Eh, the first avengers was honestly pretty boring, even back in the day.
By Tony Stark standards, Tony Stark was an absolute gentleman with Pepper in Iron Man 1. He flirted with her, yes, but he never as much as kissed her until she became the CEO of his company. Somewhere in his lizard brain he understood that she was different than all the other girls that passed thru his life and required more formal courtship, and her status absolutely mattered.
hmmmmm love the subtle mysogny in that analysis 😂 tho iron man is my fav MCU movie
That just makes him sound worse😭😭
Sorry, he’s not allowed to flirt until she runs his company. Also calling it his company is misogynistic
I’m still a fan of the MCU. They have at least proven that they can still make good stuff (when it’s not being rushed). For every bland or forgettable Marvel film, there’s always a great movie that reminds me why I love these movies. Plus this is the only ongoing franchise that I actually get excited for.
I still remember going to see the first Avengers and being utterly amazed that I was the only one amongst my friends who thought it was trash.

for the last month ive decided to binge all the marvel movies after intentionally ignoring them all my life so watching this video was nice giving me a different point of view for all the movies i just watched
His opinions are manufactured
@@thewiseman8068wtf does that mean
IMO The absolute worst moment in all the MCU was when Thanks killed Gamora for the Soul stone. They established that Thanos genuinely didn't care about Gamora, Nebula or any of his "children." He tortured and abused them and sacrificed them like pawns.
And so when sacrificing her to get the souls WORKS somehow... The movie basically confirms that his abusive behavior was somehow... Love? Like not even in a "he believed that he loved her." Way, but in a "the magic of the universe says that his abusive love is fine."
Wouldn't it have been so much better if he killed Gamora and nothing happened? It would show that the soul stone has the ultimate protection. You have to kill something you love to get it, but if you are willing to kill what you love for selfish gain, then you never really loved it in the beginning.
It would also set up the Hawkeye/Black Widow sacrifice more. You can only get the soul stone by sacrificing yourself, because if you really love someone you would rather put yourself in harms way and that would actually be love.
Apperently the univerde agreed that there is a greater thing then love, and i doubt that it was thanos' selfishness that was its cause. Yes, he had a goal, and that goal was greater then the love he had for his children
It wasn't "the universe", it was specifically the Soul Stone, and the Infinity Stones are shown to be both sapient and malevolent. The Mind Stone is the most obvious example: in the first Avengers movie it influences the Avengers into arguing, and in the second Avengers movie it creates Ultron. But all of the Infinity Stones (except the Time Stone, which is implicitly reined in by sorcerer magic) have at least one scene that shows they're bad news. I don't think it's that far of a stretch for the Soul Stone to judge Thanos's sacrifice of Gamora as "good enough" based solely on how sad he was about it.
Also for what it's worth, it's stated at one point (I forget when but I think it was in Guardians of the Galaxy) that the Infinity Stones _want_ to be reunited. Thanos was obviously the best candidate for the job, so that could've been a factor in the Soul Stone's decision to accept his sacrifice of Gamora as well.
2024 and people still think the Destroyer was the villain and final battle in Thor..

I know a lot of people don’t like the movies post endgame, but honestly there’s been some good stories post endgame

43:03 I would not put Infinity War in S-tier (sorry). One of my biggest pet peeves in storytelling is when the heroes have a clear opportunity to kill or disarm the villain and they just... don't. That moment where Star Lord gets mad and screws up the plan makes me SO ANGRY. I also remember thinking the whole "there's only one reality where we win" thing is a stupid excuse to not show why certain methods of defeating Thanos wouldn't work. Like, why can't they use Strange's portal thingies to cut Thanos' hands off? Why do they keep trying to pull the glove off of him instead of CUTTING HIS HAND OFF? The answer is just "uhhhhh we don't win in that reality" but WHY NOT? What could Thanos possibly do to counter that? I would genuinely love to know!
Fr, everyone is holding the idiot ball so hard in infinity war (and parts of endgame) that I can't really take it seriously. Like, why the hell was everyone okay with sacrificing the lives of hundreds of wakandans on the off chance that they could help vision? (not to mention the fact that vision is played by a white guy and the wakandan soldiers are black, which makes it not a great look.) Why did Loki, a guy who's been shown to be really clever and have impressive magical ability just decide to go at thanos with nothing but a dagger? And hard agree with the reality thing; that was ridiculous.
And for endgame, when bruce has the infinity gauntlet that makes them basically omnipotent, he uses it to bring back everyone who died, rather than making it so the snap never happened, which would have avoided all of the chaos and problems that having earth's population suddenly double would have. (also imo they should have had steve sacrifice himself and tony retire to be with his family, not the other way around, which does a pretty big disservice to steve's character arc about moving on from the past and finding family in the present).
But the scene where steve used thor's hammer was so baller that I audibly gasped in the theatre so it wasn't all bad.
How does Paul Bettanys race have anything to do with the movie? Also Tony says to Bruce that he can’t revert the snap 5 years ago because he has his family in the present day and doesn’t want to lose that, that was his one condition for going through with the time heist
How about how him killing his daughter was the correct way to get the soul stone. Is this supposed to prove he loved her? If anything, killing her should be what stops Thanos from getting the soul stone.
Why did you apologize immediately after voicing your opinion? It weakens any argument that you would then make

He also doesn't get Captain America at all, and thinks that not getting pop culture was some kind of noteworthy weakness for him to demonstrate. Yeah, Joss, we get it. A guy from the 40s doesn't know very recent pop culture stuff. So what?
@@dillydraws yeah what? 😭every american ive ever had to deal with has complained about us being too unfiltered... now we're prudish too? fam feet are just ugly
Nah don't listen to this clown, more feet comments
I know the movie is far from perfect, but i like iron man 2, the musics are incredible, and i don't know i like the mood of this movie
Making a god bleed is a theme he said there is no one else with that tech the whole movie is about the press wanting his tech as weapons for the army but he insist that no one can make it… someone made it and fought him in public to show people do need protection it only cements the avenger initiative
Something that's really aggravating about how little effort was put into the captain marvel movie is how much effort was put into secret wars (which already no one cares about) is that secret wars retroactively makes the genocide against the Skrull somehow justified!!!! Like literally what the fuck?!?!
Like the plot of Captain marvel (how many captains are there?) is her realizing that her superiors have been lying to her and using her not just as a weapon of war but a weapon of genocide against a group of people who potentially could threaten their seat of power in the larger galaxy/universe. Secret wars is literally about the Skrull snatching and replacing people so they can take over the planets's government so they can take over and abuse the seats of power in the larger galaxy/universe!!!! With the introduction of secret wars marvel literally pulled a "what if the mustache man was right?" Like how genuinely fucked up is that?!
How do you only have 8.22k followers the quality of this video is insane I thought I was watching a 1 mil+ UA-cam channel keep it up 🎉🎉🎉🎉
that's super kind of you to say!!
I'm like.. one minute in and totally understand why he hasn't.
"I imagine this video won't get as many views as my last two" -It got more, good job sir
It's so funny that you said that the aliens in Avengers could speak English so that's bad, but the villain for Thor 2 didn't speak English until late in the movie and that is also bad.
Tony Stark isn't supposed to be a flawed hero, he's supposed to be the absolute last person for the job. He's a womanising billionaire playboy who trades in WMDs, plays both sides, drinks like an alcoholic fish, and has an ego the size of a helicarrier.
Without his own weapon literally blowing up in his face, he was on track his supervillain origin story. He mends his ways, but it's not an over night thing. He haunted by his past and feels like he's living in his father's shadow. The MCU tones it down, but he's literally meant to be Andrew Tate.
On his own supervillain origin story huh? 🤔
my only comment is that ur actually just completely wrong with 1 point of GOTG 3, cuz u said 'Gunn had no curve balls from Feige' which.... yeah u musta forgot that Gamora died in the movies before lol. most of the story of GOTG 3 is dealing with the fact OG Gamora is dead and Quill cant get used to New Gamora. aside from that this was a super fun video, i enjoyed it! :)
god i was so swept into it i completely forgot about that hahahah, that's what happens when you watch over 70 hours of movies in a short span of time
@@henryisdumb understandable lol.
honestly i would love to see this format of video with the marvel TV shows, including the older ones like agent carter and agents of shield. I also think something like this with all the xmen movies could be really cool!!
Ike Perlmutter is why we didn't get a Captain Marvel, Black Panther or Black Widow movie till as late as we did. He came from the toy business and during his time at Marvel he was responsible for something that I feel like rarely gets mentioned. In 'Avengers: Several Days of Ultron' there's a scene where Black Widow has to chase down Cap on a motorbike. When the toy came out Cap had gained a new power in the ability to teleport as he was now the character on the bike and Black Widow was nowhere to be seen in that or really any merch from around that time. Same with Gamora because Perlmutter didn't think "girl" superheroes would sell. He was also the guy who, when they swapped out Don Cheadle for Terrence Howard, said nobody would notice because "all black people look the same". Probably no coincidence he's a not so secret advisor and financial supporter of a current presidential candidate.
I don't know what it is, but I genuinely cannot bring myself to hate iron man 2. You can tell me everything bad about it as much as you want but it never manages to change anything.
I love guardians 2 more than you did, but I will say I think infinity war did take out a piece of my soul as well.
I will forever stand by the idea that, in the last fight in Black Panther, T'challa shouldn't have had a suit. He should have only had the power of the Herb and lured Killmonger into the mines as a way to even the odds.
Boo, I disagree with many of your opinions! But I'm happy to be among your small but elite group of subscribers ❤
hahahah sorry about that i hope they didn’t disappoint you too much
51:58 Jokes on you. I'm playing Street Fighter.
"It's a good movie to have on while you're knitting, which is probably what you're doing right now."
*looks down at knitting* ARE YOU SPYING ON ME???
MCU is unironically dog shit
It started at mid tier and slowly went down
Peaked at endgame
But it has horrible action
Crap villains
Crap dialogue
Mediocre effects
Crap comedy everyone thinks it's amazing
Some decent films
Mainly captain America and spider man films
I'll be real, I thought you were another big UA-camr who does this kind of thing when I couldn't see who you were.
that's super nice of you to say, unless this is gearing up to insult me somehow hahahha
@@henryisdumb it was hbomberguy.
love the video. listening to people rant about something i have no interest in is my favorite past time
