It goes beyond that lol. You should be frustrated that one company accounts for the majority of movie entertainment at this point. Or that shelfspace in any store is typically dominated by marvel, disney, or star wars branded or licensed products. Cant even buy salad bags without it having star wars on it

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



I read that due to some spat between two monopoly conglomerates like Amazon and GlaxoSmithKline or whatever I guess Plastic Man can't team up with The Flaming Carrot for and endless string of sequels?

Heartbreaking.

thanos had such deep feelings, what a fantastic character, what an arc, he’s the bittersweet toll of my white man’s burden put to film

but i did not care for that tony stark, always cracking wise, i can’t stand it when people drape their sincere opinions in snark and irony

You should be mad that the world is on the brink of collapse, children are being raped and enslaved, the environment is being irreparably damaged, and humanity won't survive another hundred years, but you're right, entertainment is definitely where we should focus our anger.

1. they have super bad rear end costumes and are all serious and tough

2. all the movies are interlinked and awesome and theyve only been making like 6 a year for the past 10 years so theyre not super boring and poo poo or anything

3. the movies are super different and oroginal not the same story rehashed over and over

4. all the hot babes

5. they do that cool pose when they land when theyre like on one knee and one hand and do a super tough look into the camera with their bad rear end bat or ant costume on or whatever

6. their only for intellectuals so if you’re a dummy u won’t understand them

7. all the action is like woah!! because the fights are super cool

anyway post ur reasons why marvel films are the best thanks for listening

all these unironically

does hollywood even try making comedies anymore? Thor Ragnarok came out like 2 years ago and I still can't think of a funnier comedy made in the last 2 years besides Sorry to Bother You which was funny as hell and #1


Booksmart, The Favourite, One Cut of the Dead, those were all really good. Game Night was alright, not top tier but had some great moments.

Any and all of them.

Ok every few years you toss out a batman/superman/spiderman movie? Great. Sure. This poo poo?
it's because most poo poo for adults was always stupid poo poo for children, and dropping the pretense was a genius move.

It used to be that goons hated popular things because the cool kids liked them and made fun of them. Now it's the same but the goons are angry because they're old and what the cool kids like is scary and confusing.

Hands down the best thing Marvel ever did was the reactions of Marvel fans who had just seen the end of Infinity War in theaters.



Though I don't know how anyone was idiotic enough to not think they'd find a way to bring everyone back, which just made it even funnier.

They are going to make an un-trailered Turtles movie where they spend time learning legit different styles of marial arts from splinter, and just begin to take on the Toe clan when they 'HIT' the streets, sans-comic book style, and there will be a whooshing of leaves and a woman in a yellow jumpsuit doing a weather report in the park in the background.

marvel movies are fun to watch bc big money meets bad writing and that's always a good time

edit: i liked the new one with the thanos guy, though. the cg and design were all so cool, that's what i really love about the 3a stuff. Also good actors really take the edge off mediocre writing, i always really like robert downey jr and i love watching mark ruffalol so y'know

I remember thinking Alita was kinda bad immediately after I saw it, but then watched Captain Marvel the next week with my Marvel obsessed friend, and realized in hindsight that Alita was actually not that bad at all.
