    Eh...there's been some spotty CGI in some MCU movies...most notably in Black Panther (which I read is because they got footage too close to release date).[/QUOTE]

    I just watched BP once and didn't noticed. I will watch closely next time I see it. But still...it can't be worse than in JL.

    I like how the people criticizing the MCU are routinely framed as being ideologues here, yet its obvious which side isn't behaving in good faith. You replied to my post (Yes, you did), I gave the effort in responding to your argument and now your response is, 'lol, I didn't actually respond to you.'

    FYI, pop culture outlets are beginning to report that Ant-Man 3 looks cancelled.

    There's obviously gonna be people who don't like or hate it. The MCU is arguably the biggest pop culture movie series of the decade. Something like that has millions of fans and many haters as well. That was the case for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc..

    Bad CGI is sometimes about taste. Many MCU movies don't have bad CGI but they look like very expensive animated scenes. That is not usually most director's personal cup of tea but its clearly how Disney likes it done. All their movies are like that.

    The people criticizing MCU CGI do so because they don't like when real life action movies with human beings all of sudden look as if they are in an animated movie during action scenes.

    Word on the street is that Batman isn't very fond of those movies.

    I loved the pre-Disney MCU, but now these movies are half animation, most of costumes are now CGI. Bruce Banner is 100% CGI.
    Mark Ruffalo is mainly doing a voice over now. The Disney MCU has too much CGI.

    He didn't want to take over anything; that's pretty well spelled out.

    I makes sense in context of the tragedies he's suffered over the course of both Ragnarok, Infinity War, and the beginning of Endgame (pretty much one right after the other). Think about the scene where he's trying to convince Rocket and himself that he's destined to kill Thanos; seeds for "melted ice cream" Thor are being planted right there. (Heck, I'm impressed the movies had the maturity to show him not being able to cope with it all and needing to find himself and a new way forward. Not everyone can shrug everything off.)

    Funny thing; that's not what the movie is about.

    No, because it told a good story with characters. Being "grounded" was right for that story, but that doesn't make it better in and of itself.

    This is the Spiderman I grew up with.

    That's an aspect of Spider-Man. There's more to the character and his world then that. Hence the Pixar analogy; it's a setting that mixes drama, humor, character work, and heart in a package that (usually) offers something for everyone.

    Hard disagree lol. I think only Phase 1 was pre-Disney. IMO Iron Man 1 was the only truly great movie in that phase. Phase 2 was more consistent and better and once they got rid of Ike (who's dumb decisions torpedoed a lot of potentially cool movies like IM3 and Thor2), Phase 3 ended up being the best so far both critically and commercially

    true

    He didn't want to take over anything; that's pretty well spelled out.
    The world changed forever for the worse when he came? didn't it ?

    Funny thing; that's not what the movie is about.
    No.

    Better writing than Far thor with characters in the same situation as Thor

    Gohan:History of trunks
    Charles Xavier: DOFP
    Thomas Wayne : Flash point
    John Anderton : Minority report
    Spock: Star Trek
    Picard: First Contact

    Every single character here would be a fat thor if the movie was Disney scripted.

    No, because it told a good story with characters. Being "grounded" was right for that story, but that doesn't make it better in and of itself.

    And people still wonder why only grounded movies are good enough for oscar talk or are taken seriously instead of movies with a giant purple alien? grounded is usually objectively better because it ticks more of the good filmmaking box checks. its a trope too but occasionally true.

    its an aspect of spiderman that is truer to his character than a pixar analogy. Spiderman in the mcu is only like a pixar character not because he is Spiderman but because Disney is making his movies and disney has constraints. when you have no constraints, you end up with a better Spiderman who is more true to the legend. Tobey Maguire, PS4, Spiderverse not Holland.

    How did Feige get Peter Parker so wrong? Parker is suppose to be a tortured soul by blaming himself for the death of Uncle Ben. The real Parker has a miserable life and he taking care of Aunt May.
    However, Feige’s Parker is a happy-go-lucky kid with a good life.
    This is what Disney MCU is like, heroes have zero emotions, no sexuality, no one is kissing nor making out and their is very little love relationships.
    It all about plot, not characters. The Disney MCU is too plot driven.

    Genocide and mass murder are not the same thing as conquering the world. I'm not really sure why that's a question.

    Only familiar with half of those stories. Xavier had his lighthearted moments mixed in, so it can happen. Picard was Moby Dick, which is a different story then what Thor had (in other words, apples and oranges). Spock was not well-written or very consistent with his character in that movie, and, to be honest, that whole story was far less mature then anything done with fat Thor (Kirk provoking Spock to assault him on his own bridge, not to mention Spock initially marooning Kirk on Delta Vega in direct violations of regulations?)

    That makes no sense (beyond the Oscars generally not "liking" more fantastic stuff); good writing and filmmaking has nothing to do with the grounded or not grounded nature of things, but how well put together it is for what it is. Princess Bride is hardly grounded, but is well-known as a well-made movie. Toy Story, for that matter, too.

    .

    Is still the same thing. mass murder and genocide is usually the first step. one of the main tropes of the villains trying to conquer the world is to eliminate their opponents.

    I get that you didn't like the movie that much, but you don't have to misrepresent it to justify not liking it.
    I wasn't misinterpreting. its an Avengers movie.

    Only familiar with half of those stories. Xavier had his lighthearted moments mixed in, so it can happen. Picard was Moby Dick, which is a different story then what Thor had (in other words, apples and oranges). Spock was not well-written or very consistent with his character in that movie, and, to be honest, that whole story was far less mature then anything done with fat Thor (Kirk provoking Spock to assault him on his own bridge, not to mention Spock initially marooning Kirk on Delta Vega in direct violations of regulations?)
    Xavier was not a gag

    Picard became the best of Picard. We saw the more vengeful side of Picard than the usual diplomatic Picard in First Contact

    Spock was the highlight of that movie, he was the best written person in the movie. I found star trek very mature, but importantly their time travel plot device was better and more neat.

    Spock only retaliated against Kirk when Kirk accused him of not loving his mother, who was still newly dead. that would provoke anyone especially guys like spock who have to always suppress their emotions.


    That makes no sense (beyond the Oscars generally not "liking" more fantastic stuff); good writing and filmmaking has nothing to do with the grounded or not grounded nature of things, but how well put together it is for what it is. Princess Bride is hardly grounded, but is well-known as a well-made movie. Toy Story, for that matter, too.
    And fans love Winter Solider the most because? How much humor is in Winter Solider compared to Iron Man 3, GOTG, Thor 3.


    Despite both speaking English, we are are not speaking the same language here. I am literally finding you claims to make zero sense, about as much as you are mine.
    What makes Tobey the best Spiderman? I can give 10 reasons, you can add the last 5, so we can get to 15

    1. Uncle Ben is his mentor. With Great Power, comes great responsibility
    2. Spiderman is not dependent on the expanded Marvel universe
    3. A teenager maturing into man
    4. Personality
    5. Aunt May, Harry, the supporting cast.
    6. The everyman who is relatable
    7. Battle style
    8. Intelligence
    9. Well developed Human themes of flaws, sacrifice and consequence
    10 Romance. Peter and Mary Jane + Upside down kiss.
