[QUOTE=Frobisher;5525422]Maybe people just really like Paddington 2. It's very good, even though Martin Scorcese didn't make it and it's not just about big name white actors grimacing while doing important white man crimes.[/QUOTE]
The Irishman was surprisingly funny though. I thought it was pretty good overall.
[QUOTE=Kirby101;5525438]Paddington 2 was wonderful. Being best reviewed is just that. It doesn't mean best or greatest film. It means that critics found no fault with.
I all looking forward to all the Phase 4 movies. I may not see them all in the theater, but I do want to see all of them.[/QUOTE]
Anything you're looking forward to the most?

I have seen it and I loved it but best reviewed within a genre doesn't mean best movie of alltimes.

I have not seen Nomaland but I have read the plot and seen few documentaries of the film, so I get the idea. As for Zhao, unfortunately she is winning Oscars in an era many feel, it is all about diversity than artistry and it is a shame because she could be indeed very talented and deserving of the awards in spite of her been a woman and a person of color.
If this movie does end up as a bad film, I will not put the blame on her though. that will just make no sense but I am sure the right wingers and '''Anti-Woke'' folks will put the blame on her and not Feige , because ever since she won those oscars, she had been under attack by some people who just don't want any diversity at all.[/QUOTE]
So you haven't even seen Nomadland but you still know that if Eternals turns out good it'll be solely due to Zhao and when it turns out bad it'll be all on Feige.
Not to mention that talking about a movie's quality despite never having seen it in the first place disqualifies anyone as a serious debater on films.

I'm really looking forward to Moon Knight. It's about time that the Fist of Khonshu got the attention he deserves!

[QUOTE=Castle;5525288]I am sure they killed it by MCU own standard. But [B][COLOR="#0000FF"]I am talking about the general standard world of Television like 24, The Wire, Buffy, Legion.

This disney plus show from Marvel are the answer to the CW DC shows and those CW shows also [B]have high ratings on RT. :cool:
[/B][/QUOTE]
The obvious problem with attempting to frame it that way...
If the whole patch someone is coming at it from is "Objective..."/"Academic..."?
It doesn't take much of a look to realize that nothing about [B][I]The Wire[/I][/B] or [B][I]Legion[/I][/B] actually falls into anything like "General Standard World Of Television..."
HBO wasn't even set on trying to add [B][I]The Wire[/I][/B] to it's lineup. That fact is fairly common knowledge.
Never mind that nothing about [B][I]Legion[/I][/B] was "General..."/"Standard..." in terms of the actual world of television.
The actual "Standard..." world of television is actually objectively more like...
- "Let's See If We Can Field Yet Another 'NCIS' Show..."
- "Let's See If We Can Squeeze Anymore Out Of [B][I]Mom[/I][/B]..."
- "Let's See If We Can Fire The Guy Playing Riggs, And Keep [B][I]Lethal Weapon[/I][/B] Afloat..."

[QUOTE=Castle;5525387]It is open to all the movie genres and when I read post like this, it is making the comic genre look worse and confirming what ignorant people like Scorsese thinks about the comic genre because I have seen him on tv critiquing other films objectively and doing a fair job at it.[/QUOTE]
Scorsese isn’t ignorant. He’s a great artist in a popular medium with an opinion. That you have seen him do a fair job critiquing movies shows you he’s not ignorant.
The truth is out of all the superhero movies ever made, I think only one (Reeve’s Superman) could compare favorably to the vast majority of Martin’s work. And I think Scorsese hasn’t made a really good or interesting movie since Aviator or maybe Gangs of New York.
There is something inherently juvenile about the pre-adolescent psychosexual drama and primitive power fantasies of superhero fiction. Period.
It’s undeniably lacking nuance. I love comics and superhero movies, but I can’t deny that that there’s no Big Two, superhero comic out there as great as the best novels.
People like Stan Lee knew it, too. That’s why he always really disparaged and tried to escape what he did for a living.
Robert Downey Jr. was clearly offended by Scorsese’s comments, but you know what? Tens or hundreds of millions doesn’t change the fact that RDJ’s Chaplin is far better than any of his Iron Man performances, head and shoulders above his Iron Man.
Super hero movies are purely a marketing driven genre designed for maximum profits in the selling of tchotchkes and children’s toys.

Nightmare was the rumored villian at one point and horror elements make sense with that character.

Well, this means everyone now must accept the[B][I] ''fact''[/I][/B] it is better than Citizen Kane.
In all seriousness, if we were putting shows like Wandavison in phase 4 and using rotten tomatoes or saying there is still gas, It is just more of the same. I think the best anyone can do with the disney plus show is to treat it as an alternate reality because I still don't see it mattering. I am not even big on the captain America 4 movie news that will be a part of..... phase 4 or 5?, because that was announced to create more hype for falcon and winter solider. However it is just very far fetched to think there would be a proper captain America 4 film with no steve rogers. we did not even get a proper captain America 3 film. something Feige once said, would still happen post civil war but never did.

As great as an artist he is, Scorsese does not know much about other film genres.
Another topic for different day, bit the idea that super hero movies are all about toys is a big fat lie as proven by many other comic films from both DC/Marvel though not MCU, I do think MCU movies for so long has focused too much on this narrative that it is all about toys that does not seem to be working artistically anymore or just never worked at all once the cloud around their connection movies charm wore off, but maybe few of their phase 4 movies can grow and move away from that. they would have too if they want their xmen and blade films to succeed.

Maybe Dr. Strange. But most are interesting. You don't really know until they come out. I've enjoyed almost all the Marvel movies. Some less than I thought I would, some more than I thought I would. Right now I can only base it on the past movies, which isn't always a good indication. I mean judging Ragnarok on Dark World would be a mistake.
