that doesn't apply to people or does it?

wait aren't you the same person who "claims" 1:100 ratio on modern newsstands

i think it's fair to say that Disney/MCU has really tarnished their brand with the content of the past few years, and if the track record continues will completely destroy their product before we even see FF/X-Men Ryan Reynolds maybe the one to save them

i also think they felt the need to push the content out because of demand - people wanted more but i do believe they've created the fatigue along with the other companies because it has not been original (a lot of marvel movies have the same formula) or poor writing/directing/acting/production

i think it's too difficult to do that without FF/X-Men Let's see what happens but they really should not have made a lot of these movies in phase 4 and 5. they were totally a cash grab that failed

I think if I read most of the reviews posted by boardies here, most were positive (better than they expected but still not on par with pre phase 4 movies) with the exception of 1 or 2 (I remember NWO's) Am I right @Bosco685 ?

nevermind

@Buzzetta we need to find a new forum

I've been informed privately that the tide has changed. the opposition has been destroyed.

and I believe @NewWorldOrderdid actually see the movie and posted a review, I was talking about the rest of the people in this thread

i think we've established long ago, that you are the exception to any conversation, please go to the private VIP area of this forum to share your thoughts

some things never change

for all the talk here, I'm curious how many actually go to the movies regularly or is this how everyone hates modern comics but hasn't purchased a comic in over 20 years?

I agree it's mainly about fatigue, but some people want to write the narrative about how a type of content is being forced and this is the general public rejecting it the problem is when Endgame ended, they were left with b level characters, and instead of building them up, they just threw them against the wall they have no original ideas, the ideas they have are all taken from previous storylines, existing comic stories and made to fit in a universe that has been painted into a corner based on what they created from the start no mutants, no FF they have created a bigger mess with the multiverse so let me hear what they should have done after endgame what are the movies they should have made? because none of the ones that Disney/Marvel made worked - same for the tv shows - what should they have done instead? what was left to choose from? BP2 was going to fail without it's star and they probably should have scrapped it They doubled down on Thor because of the love for the previous movie, which I thought was a mistake for the character they made bad decisions on the movies for 4 and now 5 - it's a complete mess from a creative story and cohesive world and it's only going to get worse what outside of FF/X-men does anyone look forward to? Kang?

i've been saying this about Marvel movies for a while, they have stopped being original for quite some time, the production has gone down, and so has the writing but these characters when they were announced some time ago weren't going to generate the interest that the previous group had The disney formula is in most of the movies (from the first iron man), you just didn't notice it because it was new, it was shiny (good acting/writing/production) but its grown old and tired add in a villain (kang, he who remains, etc) that no sure anyone really understands or cares enough about, you have zero reason to want to see these movies as a casual fan (vs how will they stop someone who wants to get rid of half the population) - what is the fear with Kang? someone explain it in a simple sentence in addition to so much output by multiple studios on multiple platforms (fatigue) and I think @Dr. Balls mentioned the last piece some time ago, why should i spend almost $20 per person (not including snacks) when I may have an equally impressive set up at home. you have to create something new, original or spectacular experience for many people to go to the movies I love the movies and I love going to see them but it's way to expensive for a product that is too mediocre

I'd normally say "get a room" with all this back and forth but not sure if I should add the word "padded"

Good. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move the heck on, whether you're a comic dealer or Disney. i think this might be more due to the writers strike than a strategic change

like who?

not sure what i missed that everyone seems to have enjoyed this show, but to me this was a mess and again why should i care about Kang? this has not moved the needle in any way

after seeing what happens in the mid credits and credits scene, i think I'm curious about where this is going there maybe some hope for the mcu

@fastballspecial

I think it was Bendis who propelled Iron Man into a key role by writing Civil War
