Yeah I've watched WandaVison because it's been fun to see good actors try a variety of styles. I'm not keeping up after.

Yeah, I think the MCU's gonna get a lot broader going forward. It was already headed in that direction with Ant Man, Guardians, and Ragnarok but the stuff they have in the pipeline has a lot of theoretical weirdness. Sam Raimi doing a Doctor Strange film with Multiverse in the title. Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy teaming up in a Taiki Waiti film. Moorehead and Benson doing a Moon Knght series. The Loki series. The Eternals and Shang Chi. MCU's definitely a little out of the box going forward and that's without even having any clear idea what sort of "multiverse" stuff they're planning. But there's also gonna be a lot of standard MCU like Falcon/Winter Soldier because that stuff sells. They're messing with the formula but they're not gonna discard it entirely. And it feels like there's gonna be a lot of back and forth between fans who want more of what they like and the ones who want something different. But if Marvel does it right they'll give enough of both to satisfy as many as they can. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Feb 20, 2021 |

Calling Thor 2 bad is accidentally implying it's more interesting than it is. Also the last like, fifteen minutes or so are kind of great, somehow? It's weird.

I rewatched it a few weeks ago and its not actively terrible or anything but its the most obvious "we need a sequel" sequel in the MCU. Just nothing really compelling to take away from it.

Iron Man 2 is notable because I firmly believe that nobody gave any acting notes to Mickey Rourke and that was his one condition for doing the movie. Also we got the Justin Hammer dance.

It also totally wasted the Demon in a Bottle storyline, which was part of why Iron Man was a favorite of mine growing up. My dad is an alcoholic and as a kid it was good to see that kind of presented honestly in the stories I was reading.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Eh, there’s also Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2's very sequely, sure, but its also one of the first real world expanding films. It introduces Black Widow, War Machine, and SHIELD proper and I think its the first time the MCU starts to actually look like the MCU. That's not as big a deal so many films and crossovers later but at the time I think it was a big deal. Thor 2 on the other hand is basically just all the same players from Thor 1 doing more stuff. The only thing it really does that matters is I think its where Hemsworth and Hiddleston really start to get the feel for their characters as they'll be going forward instead of kind of stuffy Shakespearian characters.

Iron Man 2 is fine, it's just kind of bloated and directionless, but it's perfectly entertaining. A solid C+

And then the girl who couldn’t decide which side she wanted to be on. And Happy being so loving insufferable they had to put him in a coma. (Vague memories because I had zero desire to see it a second time. Also comic book movies are generally pretty poo poo as a whole, but at least can be entertaining.)

Love it (I do) or hate it, IM3 is absolutely the most polarizing of the three. Pretty much everyone can agree 1 is solid, 2 has good concepts but wastes its potential, and then 3 just has diametrically opposed opinions from everyone. I do appreciate that when people say they dislike it, a lot of them do give good critiques (like some of the ones above) as opposed to just an outright dismissal of the film as a whole.

I have been watching The Office for the first time and I have no idea what the intro for that show wants to convey. The music is bad and doesn’t fit and the random clips from the show don’t tell you anything about the characters or the tone of the show. IDK, it just stands out to me as a particularly lazy and generic intro.

Finally got around to Avenue 5 and holy poo poo that show got dark, but hilarious. The scene where they convince themselves they are still on Earth as part of a reality show and keep spacing themselves to prove it is so good.

Avenue 5 is amazing just for starting off looking like it's just going to be an obnoxiously-loud sitcom in space and letting the audience realize after like the second or third episode it's all continuous and there are consequences to every fuckup and oh god what next  .

IM2 and Thor 2 get far more poo poo than either should. The self-contained plots weren't great and the villains are sort of uninspired, but a lot happened to further the overall MCU story in both than a lot of the other films. Hulk still sucks though.

The scene where Tony busts into the mansion with a bunch of hardware store stuff was extremely excellent and a great extension of the whole theme where the armor isn’t what makes him Iron Man
