Dynaman Posted November 28 Posted November 28 It might not be a great movie or even a good one(*) but I think the biggest problem for the Marvel movies is brand fatigue AND the switching out of the cast at the exact same time.   (*) - I'm not the person who can judge these things, I only saw a bit of the movie where all the good guys were fighting each other and I couldn't even make it through that movie, on the other hand the D+ show with the current Captain America I thought was pretty good.

The writers don’t really know what to do anymore. If they stopped with the low quality movies, people would be more excited. Quote

And when the Alien Romulus trailer hit, it was a beautiful looking and lovely aromatic apple pie – people were singing praise, spreading the good word and doing jovial dances for this delicious food. Then they all went out of their way to taste a piece... and came back with food poisoning. 😉 There is an old Klingon proverb for all of this: Only a P'Takh judges a warriors strength by the Bat'leth they carry on their back!

I might even give it a rewatch one day. But I definitely had a bad reaction with most of the recent Disney Marvel stuff like the Marvels and Black Panther 2 or the Eternals, or Secret invasion and She Hulk 🤮. Other ones I didn’t like, I’d never go for a second watch like Agatha all Along or the multiverse of madness or the third ant man movie. I didn’t like those, but wasn’t totally sickened by them. And while I didn’t hate  Ms marvel or Wandavision, I still probably wouldn’t watch them ever again and would probably watch Romulus a second time long before I’d consider giving those another chance.

It’s like being a kid again. 80’s movies and shows often, but not always had the bad guys or mercs with an AK and the good guys with the M16’s Quote
