Abroham Lincoln posted:Winter Soldier is still the best MCU movie fight me about it Depending on the day, I shift between whether Winter Soldier or Civil War is my favorite of the Captain America films. Winter Soldier is probably a better standalone movie, but Civil War has got the debut of Spider-Man and that's loving awesome.

Instead of doing some Harry Potter bullshit, Strange turned into a full on drugs film. It was fuckin great.

I have only seen a few Marvel movies: Captain America Thor Iron Man 1 & 2 Civil War Batista and Friends 1 & 2 I think that’s it Will I be totally lost watching Infinity War or is it mostly a stand alone thing?

I've got a bigger living room now and I'd like more HDMI inputs so I might upgrade in the near future, but it's served my needs fine since 2005 or so. Only buying Nintendo consoles helps. I'm also driving a 2002 vehicle I got for free despite having a pretty good job. I may be overly cautious with money. And unconcerned about keeping up with the Joneses I guess.

All right all right I meant stupid in a "popcorn movie" way. I agree cap 2 is probably their best or drat close to it. But to me they are just big blockbusters with no emotional lasting impact. I will go slam my dick with a thesaurus while playing nakamura's theme now. Also until this new tv I was rocking a 65" dlp (so 720) for 13 years. That is one of the reasons i got a new tv. I think 13 years is good enough. The dlp tv still works too. I gave it to a friend.

I can't believe the MCU made the Vulture of all people a bad-rear end villain with believable motives. Shame my boy the Shocker (Herman, not the other jabroni) got jobbed out.

I'd like the MCU a lot more if it didn't undercut its own material so much. You don't gotta wink and nod at the audience so much, sometimes just let heavy moments be heavy. Infinity War was guilty of this in parts as well. Black Panther for the most part wasn't guilty of it at all so I like that more than most of the rest of the MCU. It is guilty of the MCU's other major sin though, really lame final battles. It's "fight with grey army" and "lame mirror match against guy with the same powers as the hero" pretty much all the way down. Infinity War managed to mostly avoid that via Thanos being a loving badass at least (mostly, there's still a lameass grey army, and that's not really a spoiler, since it's in the trailer). Ragnarok is kinda the perfect MCU movie because it avoids my complaint by going "Uh, yeah, that's the point." It just completely turns into the skid and for that, I respect it.

Doctor Strange is extremely good. And Spiderman. And Ragnarok. And Black Panther. Basically all of the MCU movies from the last 2 years or so have been excellent. Seeing Infinity War tonight!

I actually felt this a lot with Batista & Friends 2. They wouldn't let up with the jokes for a single fuckin second. (Still liked the movie overall, just could have been better for a few reasons, none of them being Batista because he is  ).VJeff posted:It is guilty of the MCU's other major sin though, really lame final battles. Testify. Doctor Strange probably had my favorite final battle. Totally unlike any of the others.

The Amazing Spider-Man movies had a lot of neat, underrated stuff that's totally gone now because Sony is real bad at movies.

Also, first post in a long time on here. Usual resident lurker. Popping in to say hi and that today has been a Good Day. Football team won 2-1, easy day at work, sun is out and shining and seeing Avengers for the second time tonight. With a group who haven't seen it yet. Relishing the idea of their reactions

I wish they'd make another Hulk movie. They struck out with Eric Bana, and Edward Norton was an excellent Bruce Banner but his movie was kinda botched and his Mike Deodato inspired Hulk didn't translate to screen as well as they'd thought. But they got a great Banner AND Hulk in Ruffalo, and thus they should capitalize on it. Then again, I'd be pleasuring myself in the theater if they make a movie based on Peter David's grey Hulk, or the Peter David/Gary Frank "Merged Hulk in the Pantheon" run, so I'm a bit dated in my tastes. Just not the Bruce Jones run. Oh god no not that please.

Edward Norton, William Hurt, and Tim Roth were excellent casting (though the Americanized Emil Blonsky triggers the long time Hulk fan in me ), but then you got the weird as gently caress casting of Liv Tyler as Betty and the even weirder Modern Family Dad as Leonard Samson. Then you get the goofy looking fake as hell Hulk CGI, and well the movie just fell apart, sadly.
