OT: Movies/TV Shows

I wasn't as big a fan of the first one as everyone else (cuz racist), but holy shit is Black Panther 2 a steaming pile.

Phase 4 just an utter disaster for Marvel.


Spider Man 3, Wandavision, Loki the only ones that are "good".

The rest range from somewhat passable to horrendous. And what's worse is that phase 4 has by far the most. 7 movies and like 11 shows all crammed into less than 2 years. way to kill the brand.

I would say the phase 4 films have been fine, for the most-part. I think the big problem with them has been that they've been a little all over the place, and not really moving the universe in any specific direction. And as pseudo-standalone films, they've just been ok. Like, I didn't even watch the Thor movie. I'm sure the next time that I subscribe to Disney+ I'll give it a watch, but I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to watch it.

That one actually hits the feels a little bit ngl.
 
I'm a Marvel stan and even I'd agree they've struggled since End Game, this being just Ant Man isn't an excuse, it's a trend.


- Black Widow was solid and a good way to complete her arc
- Shang Chi was good but just good. It had some interesting Hong Kong moments/cinematography with it's action at times but if you're familiar with the good hong kong action flicks over the years, it wasn't a great rendition, just a good one
- Eternals was a huge meh. Developed zero give a fuck for any of the characters through out the entire movie. Still surprised that they managed to do so little and tell so little story in almost 3 hours.
- No Way Home was good but made Dr Strange look like an idiot. When fan service is the best part of a movie, even when done well, that's a problem imo
- Multiverse of Madness was bad and made Dr Strange look like an idiot
- Love and Thunder had no idea what it wanted to be. The bones of a really, really good movie are in there but Watiti kept fucking ruining it with jokes that didn't fit the tone of the scenes.
- Wakanda Forever....they should have just recast T'Challa like the Director wanted to do. I get why Marvel insisted on doing it as a Chadwick Boseman tribute, but I think that always was going to doom this movie to mediocrity. I don't get why Atlantis got retconned into being...Mayan...and I still don't get the Namor casting. Generally when there's a super baddie, the movie is going to fail when it tells you how dangerous said baddie is instead of showing you. Telling us that he's as strong as the Hulk maybe without showing him do anything other than beat up some non supes and a few Wakandan ships...meh. Contrast that with how we saw Thanos in action for the first time. Boot fucked the Hulk, Thor, and killed Loki. You've been shown why you're supposed to be afraid of him, not told why.

The Disney + stuff has been hit or miss as well.

- WandaVision was pretty good
- I loved the Loki series personally
- Falcon & Winter soldier was good
- What If was good
- Moon Knight was good though it lost me for parts, but as a whole it was pretty strong
- Ms Marvel I found awful
- She Hulk I found awful
 
I don't remember it being discussed much or if I missed it, but I am going to put up Bojack Horseman as one of my top three shows series of all time to me.

I know I'm late to the game, but my daughter tried to get me into it a long time ago and I wasn't in the right frame of mind....but I've been going through my own shit in life and this show is sheer and pure brilliance.

Mental health, trauma, depression, addictions of all kinds...all with hilarious and memorable characters.

Anyone else here into it? Or abandoned it?

No no not like that. The first time I watched bojack I didn't get it. It took me until midway through season 2 just like breaking bad to make me love this show. The final season and episodes are some of the best tv I've seen. I'm serious

At first I just thought it was some weird animated thing. Had some people mention they liked it and stuff. But man, they did a fantastic job at it, lots of great characters in it. I don't think I'd put it in the all-time greats, but would definitely recommend it to people to watch.
 
It feels like it has been written by therapists and comedians. The shit they deal with goes deep into psychological theories. Every seasons penultimate episode is always extra special. The second last season penultimate episode won the show an Emmy....one episode.

The final seasons should have as well.

It’s fucking brilliant.
So much care into crafting it.
 
Would make sense. Evolution is pretty smart usually and saw fit to make that the best protected part of the body.

There has to be significant advantage to not getting knocked silly.
