One person, yes. The rest were never into them very much anyway.
I'm not going to jump on the MCU hate wagon. Some of them have been great, others less so. But none have been actually bad movies. There's nothing wrong with making fun and forgettable entertainment.
Whilst I agree with your sentiment I do feel like some of them have objectively been bad movies in a lot of ways. But it is the exception, most of them have been mediocre, some a bit better, some a bit worse. But to say there haven't been a couple of real stinkers is maybe not the whole truth either.
I've enjoyed all of the movies in the moment (except ant man 3) but a few I've liked less the more i think back on them.
Spidey 3, deadpool 3, falcon (mostly), Loki and wandavision were great at release and still are to me (i guess the jury is still out on deadpool with it being so new)
Its mcdonalds of cinema: Its just safely not bad.
Yes!
This is more a reflection of your food standards than the quality of the films. McDonald's is, and always has been, dogshit.
I eat it every once in a while but most powerful drug is nostalgia rather than quality of mcdonalds. same with marvel movies, it's more "WOW THAT GUY FROM BOOK WHEN I WAS KID!!!!". Nerdslop is made to cash in on that.
Its also how children's shows and merchandize is sold.
Hard disagree, I made it about 20-30 min through eternals and had to just shut it off
Eternals was the first MCU movie where I was like, this one should have been a miniseries on Disney+.
Telling a story through time like that should take time. Would have been good to do an episode on each of them and then have them reunite and stuff.
Also, like, in terms of the acting... I didn't think it was great. Angelina Jolie is by far the best actor on the cast. So much so, it's jarring. The ending was weird too. Felt thematically like it came from a different genre too.
I definitely wanted to like it more than I did.
That says more about you than the movie.
