Does anyone hate MCU films?

[The True Detective]

The dislike for XCU and DCEU films pales in comparison to the almost religious like cult hatred of MCU films. It's like a mission statement to tear down the MCU universe no matter how successful each film can be. There will be a lot of happy faces when the first MCU outright bombs at the box office. It will be quite amusing to read all the posts when that happens.

Are you kidding? The DCEU by far is the most hated not only superhero movie franchise, but the most hated movie franchise of the last decade or so, period. Only the Star Wars prequels come anywhere close. The MCU is put on a pedestal by the vast majority of the internet, let's not act like the vocal minority here and there means there's any real hatred for it.

Ask yourself who's the most hated superhero movie director? Answer, Zack Snyder (hated mainly for his DCEU films).

What's the most hated superhero movie? Answer, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (DCEU) Followed very closely by Suicide Squad (DCEU).

Most controversial and mocked scene? Martha scene in BvS (DCEU)

Most hated superhero movie performance? Any one of the following: Jared Leto in Suicide Squad, Henry Cavill in Man of Steel and BvS, Ben Affleck in Justice League, or Jessie Eisenberg in BvS. All are DCEU movies.

Think of the way the majority of the internet leapt to James Gunn's defense when his controversial tweets resurfaced. I know for a fact of it was Zack Snyder in his place that wouldn't have happened. There's no contest, whether It's deserved or not the DCEU is far more hated then the fawned over MCU.

I agree I dont think the by shear numbers the MCU is hated. Most hate comes from comic fans. The general audience rarely is on it but BvS changed that. You had late night talk shows like Colbert,John oliver,Kimmel, and The Daily show taking shots at it. **** Kevin Smith sucks off everything and he even takes shots at that movie all the time. Yea DCEU gets way more hate but that's because the General audience was brought in on it to a certain degree.

The fact is there a ridiculous people all over. Anyone who loves every MCU movie but hates every DCEU movie is ridiculous. But the people on the opposite side are just as ridiculous. I've can only think of one person on here who loves every MCU and hate every DCEU(Not gonna name names) but I can think of atleast 3 who love all DCEU movies but think the MCU is hot garbage, wholesale.

Yea the new popular thing is hating on Disney though. So the MCU is just caught up In that. Alot of this thread is really just targeted at Disney in general

Make that genuine worry for the entertainment industry and genuine criticism of Disney but you are right, most of my problems with MCU is Disney controlling it way too much and putting things in marvel movies that is more fitted for a disney movie than a marvel movie. It was Disney that created the awful marvel formula. Marvel would never come up with Fat clown Thor. That is Disney's doing and yes, I don't like it.

Disney was also in charge of Dr Strange and Endgame. Two movies where people were decapitated. I still don't recognize the formula that they have now that wasnt there in Ironman 1.

The worst MCU movie is a mediocre action movie with decent SFX, a competent internal narrative and reasonable themes. The worst DCU movie is none of those whilst the XCU can maybe get one or two of those.

But tbh, I've seen you in countless threads shitting on Disney. I get it, you dont like them. Fair enough. Stop wasting our time though.

Thanks for proving my point with the no single damage flaw narrative with MCU that is brought up by their biggest fans. With a DCU and XCU movie, their fans will admit the negatives overweighed the positives in the worst of their movies, Isn't it why it is the worst?. The MCU worst has zero to do with decent SFX or themes that are not present. The worst of the MCU borderlines on MCU making brainless decisions.

Many XCU and DCU fans are bigger comic book fans of their franchise, their movies are second base. their love for the characters is from the comics. MCU does not have that factor since most and if not all their characters excluding Spiderman found success and love from the movies . DCU and XCU fans would never love the movies over their precious comics, so they are more open to movie criticism.

MCU fans are still defending Disney disrespecting Thor twice in a row now. DCU and XCU fans would never defend the disrespect WB and Fox gave Batman and Cyclops under Kinberg and Snyder's direction.

I think this is because many XCU and DCU fans are bigger comic book fans of their franchise, their movies are second base. their love for the characters is from the comics. MCU does not have that factor since most and if not all their characters excluding Spiderman found success and love from the movies first. DCU and XCU fans would never love the movies over their precious comics, so they are more open to criticism.

You just want people to "admit" to your own notions.

Nobody really wants to engage in a discussion with someone who only wants to argue on their own terms.

This thread is humorous.

What’s wrong with liking what you like and that’s it?

That goes the other way as well. If you don’t like something, simple as that.

What’s with all this ‘points’ scoring and trying to prove one is right about an opinion?

You nailed it, because the MCU was great before Disney took control. Once Disney took control the MCU has become childish and silly.

Tell me what this formula is they have now that wasnt there in Ironman 1? What exactly has Dinsey done?(Feigie says they are hands off except for the James Gunn issue and then Feige won and got him back)

Let me ask people why is there a so called war now?

Because we're fans on the internet. Because the comic book movie genre has grown so much since 1999, perspectives change as we have a wider ranger of stuff to compare and have seen the genre develop further. Because we don't all think the same. Something else. A bit of everything. Take your pick.

So... I leave this thread for a long time and... oh.

Wow.

Yeah.

I made this thread simply to ask if people did exist out there that just do not like the MCU at all, and it became a battlefield between critics and loyalits. Maybe it's for the best the mods lock it up.

I think I agree. Everyone's just talking past each other. In retrospect, this should've remained a "safe place" for non-MCU fans.

Heres the issue. The MCU has some stinkers (Hulk/Thor1-2) but at their worst their mediocre. Their shitty in a relative manner and the rest of the good far outweighs the bad.

Meanwhile the DCU started off with a controversial divisive beggining, then a TERRIBLE sequel which just didnt get the characters, themes or stories, then a mediocre rip off tonally of a well selling marvel movie, which had arguably the worst Joker in it. Then things started moving up with WW before falling all over the place with JL. We're kind of at a 6-7 out of ten for the DCEU at the moment with that number dropping if their next few films dont do great.

The original “Marvel formula” argument was literally an attack on some of the heroes’ origins and the similarities they shared...totally ignoring that the comics shared the same similarities the “formula haters” were griping about.

It’s evolved into a buzzword that’s bandied about but nobody understands the meaning of, except in the broadest of stokes.

“Make your movie entertaining” isn’t a very specific formula.

Or just generic action/comedy genre stuff.

I liked Ragnarok, though I found the last 20 minutes or whatever pretty weak. MCU movies in general just kind of blend together into a solid meh for me. Except I hated the first Thor so much that I stopped going to movie theatres at all after I saw it, a habit which I have retained to this day.

[luprki]

I thought Ragnarok was among one of weakest movies. The only MCU movie I like in the past five years was Black Panther. It’s the only one that didn’t seems like a MCU movie.
