That’s the bulk of what I’m talking about. The core of the movie is A+. Just give us more of that instead of the juvenile humor.
And toning down the humor would make anything left in funnier. Like, give me screaming goats once, then don’t have it again
Thor Love and Thunder by a mile.
What If? had a phenomenal season 1, even if it wasn’t great after that.
Secret Invasion had potential. But it would have needed to be very careful to get the most out of it. I never really had high expectations from it.
Someone said Doctor Strange 2, but IMO it was everything I wanted out of a Doctor Strange movie. DS1 was more of a letdown.
Eternals should have been a show. But it was well made and had some top-notch CGI.
Thor 4 though was the most frustrating because it’s so close to being an awesome movie. Just look at the deleted scene with Zeus. It’s so much better than the orgy conversation. And Gorr was fucking awesome, I just wanted to see more of him. I want them to spend some money, patch it up, and re-release it. I would go to the theaters again for it if they did.
Simultaneously, I’m hoping Superman, FF, and Thunderbolts will reignite consumer confidence. I like superhero movies and I want more of them.
It feels like there’s been “bad movie” burnout in the MCU starting with Black Widow and then Thor 4 doing the most damage to the brand.
Similarly in the DCEU how BvS and Suicide Squad did well, but broke consumer trust in the brand.
You know, I rewatched Thor 2 after watching Loki Season 1 (and Ragnarok and Infinity War and Endgame) and it was a lot better. I think it helped that I knew what to expect so it wasn’t as boring.
Does that seem quick? I feel like that’s usually when it’s hitting digital.
I absolutely loved Dr Strange 2. If anything, that should have been any example of how the MCU could break from the mold from time to time instead of being the same.
Black Widow on the other hand…
Maybe it’s that you can still download stuff on the PSP store, but you have to buy it from somewhere else like the PS3 or Vita stores. I’ll have to check and get back.
Yeah, I had a lot of PSP games saved on my PS3. That sucked when they got rid of transfers. If I remember right, it blocked save transfers for PS1 games too, which was a huge bonus from back in the day. Play on the road, then continue your game on the PS3.
The digital store might still open. I know you can buy games off the Vita’s store still (but you have to use an older style WIFI that is sometimes relegated to guest WIFI and you have to preload the money from another source).
My only problem with Crisis Core is that there’s so much easily accessible side content, I had to force myself to just stop and finish the story.
But I loved that game, and I wasn’t even a big fan of the original FF7.
Oblivion PSP Prey 2 Final Fantasy Versus XIII
I think the movie got a bad wrap. The pacing was horrible and it needed to be a series. But everything else was good. Every character felt unique with their own motivations (honestly, the movie goes out of its way to emphasize this).
This is disregarding comic accuracy because I haven’t read them (yet).
Anyways, it’s also not surprising that they haven’t appeared elsewhere. They kind of feel like they don’t fit with the greater universe.
My favorite part of the PSP/PS3 era was that they made so many direct ports of PS1 games on the digital store. So I got to experience a lot of old games I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise for dirt cheap.
Plus I could take them on the go and swap my save files easily with my PSP.
It’s a fun show and he’s no longer involved. Seems like a good reason to watch it to me.
Wait, is that why he was fired? They didn’t announce it for the longest time. I didn’t know the reason finally came out.
Kind of like Spider-Man, everyone was essentially an extreme version of their best known personality traits. Very one-dimensional, but otherwise really good.
The new one is a lot more subtle about it, which I appreciate. But that’s not how superhero movies were back then.
I watched both and liked both as lot. Fantastic Four is probably the better movie. It’s more polished, more visually impressive, better story, etc. But I enjoyed Superman more.
Finally, a real teaser.
I really hope this suit doesn’t end up looking as shiny as it did at the end of NWH.
Inside Out absolutely deserves a spot. It’s my favorite Disney (+Pixar) movie and also in my top 10, and I grew up on the '90s Disney movies.
Speaking of, if there were 2 Disney movies I’d put on the list, it would probably be Inside Out and The Lion King.
As a Marvel fan, I don’t think it’s been overhyped. But I have thought some former movies were overhyped.
I do think it’s even better if you’re familiar with the characters though.
So definitely Gwen?
