They should reboot Batman
We want falling pearls dammit
I'm sure Doomsday will be good but I voted for Spider-Man. I'm excited to see the fallout from the ending of No Way Home.
Did you miss that they just rebooted the DC film universe? There already is a new Batman in development.They should reboot Batman again.
Honestly, theres not a lot there that excites me. The Boys has always been good, so Im looking forward to that.
Spider-Man and Clayface might be okay.
I fully expect the rest of it to be varying levels of bad.

I haven't kept up with everything in the MCU, but I am interested to see how things come together in Doomsday. Supergirl is a very close second. I LOVED Superman.

this is depressed drunk supergirl right?
I havent seen or heard of anything to be excited about for the new avengers movie.
And the clayface makes very little sense to do when James should be prioritizing the bigger named characters first.
The current director for the next Batman movie should have been fired a while ago as well. Its been years now and still no progress?
It is getting a reboot in the new dcu
Hopefully this DCU the Batman gets his own movie

This. And it'll be the first street-level Spidey movie in a long time.
They should reboot Batman again.
Street level Spidey that has the hulk
punisher is news to me. I'm definitely looking forward to it despite the issues with mcu punisher so far
They announced it awhile ago. I think its called Brave and the Bold ( I could be wrong on the title.) But its about Batman and Damian and being directed and run by the Flash director. Yes that horrible Flash movie that Gunn thinks is the greatest comic book movie ever
Well it's not like Marvel can make an MCU Hulk movie so guest starring is all he can do.
As long as we're not dealing with space or multiverse shenanigans, I consider it a street-level win.
Spiderman of course. Those have mostly been good.
Doomsday. Who knows. Most marvel stuff recently, outside of Spiderman, hasnt been great. I think this is their chance to regain faith, as this is the story people wanted. Although i still think Galactus would have been better, since Doom kind of needs a lot more buildup. Galactus can make for a good movie, Doom needs a Thanos type buildup.
The Boys worries me. The last season wasnt great. A lot of weird, gross humorHuey getting raped twice and playing it as a joke, when Starfire doing the thing was treated as deadly serious. Plus all the political stuff. And the really pointless Frenchie story that went nowhere. And MM. Everyone kind of sucked. I cant even remember most of the season, outside of Sister Sage, who I have no clue what angle they are going with her. Is she playing Homelander? Is she really just with him because she is bored? Is she chaotic neutral? A Train had a good arc though. He is becoming the most interesting character.
Not sure which individual movie I'm more interested in, but I'm like 10x more likely to go see any of the new DC movies than anything Marvel. Tired of being bored by the Disney formula slop, at worst the recent DC offerings have been fun to watch for me.
What are the issues with MCU punisher? His portrayal seems well received
I think Andy can deliver. Flash isn't the best but it isn't the worst. With some guidance he can deliver a good movie
Listen I'm all for it. I like what I hear but i just don't hear street level when I hear about it
I don't get this train of thought, the avengers movies have been consistently better than the Spiderman movies and this Spiderman movie is from a new director. If anything there should be more faith in avengers, unless you really dug Shang chi. Plus Shang chi and Wonderman fates may be tied as they are both made by the same guy
The Huey stuff was bad, I won't defend it. Frenchie has always sucked. What's wrong with the politics ?
Wait the Disney stuff is slop and James Gunn stuff isn't?
Lanterns will have Nathan Fillion in it. I know Guy isn't the lead but still important to me.
Wait the Disney stuff is slop and James Gunn stuff isn't?It's at least better slop, and I tend to enjoy Gunn's writing more than the average non-Gunn Marvel movie.
There's also X-Men 97 S2And a new season of the Spider-Man cartoon.
What are the issues with MCU punisher? His portrayal seems well receivedIt is well-received but it's not exactly true to character, especially in season 2. And it's way too much "these are the REAL people who got his family". He straight up lets a child predator live out of mercy in season 2. The show isn't willing to show that Frank actually isn't human, his humanity is gone and he's just a stone cold mass murderer
im glad The Boys is finally ending. even if i enjoyed the later seasons, shit was starting to run its course...
Looking forward to X-Men 97, Invincible & Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man next year, the cartoons have more of a appeal than the live action projects I feel but maybe one more day might be worth a watch to.
Oh and the final boys season is happening too, if nobody major dies that's gonna suck real ass.
That list actually screams sleeper cliffside oversaturation... a year ppl will be writing about badly further down the road.
It just feels too real. Plus I wonder if they will even be allowed to do something so on the nose.
Honestly, I fell off of Marvel once the TV shows also became required to understand what was going on.
I hear this parroted all the time but what movies actually had required show viewing? Not backstory for a minor character.Dr Strange was the first of the Phase 4 movies I watched, so that may very well have tainted the rest for me.
The only one I can think of is multiverse of madness but the rest are all watchable without the shows. Maybe the marvels but that sucks even if you did watch the shows.

Clayface, cause it's supposed to lean into horror.
And a new season of the Spider-Man cartoon.
Is Superman really better than thunderbolts or fantastic four? I don't think sono comment on thunderbolts, but definitely yea regarding F4. F4 destroyed a piece of my perspective on cinema as a medium

He was legitimately perfect in Daredevil though
Dr Strange was the first of the Phase 4 movies I watched, so that may very well have tainted the rest for me.
Doomsday mainly because Doom is my favorite comic villain and Im really hoping they can do him justice this time.
no comment on thunderbolts, but definitely yea regarding F4. F4 destroyed a piece of my perspective on cinema as a medium
it's about the movie's existence within the context of the medium. the past few decades, plus fans' reactions. it's disillusioned me greatly
Fair enough to each their own right. People complain that it was too influenced by wandavision but I don't understand the alternative? Ignore wandavision and have wanda at her point from Endgame? That would also have people in an uproar, also probably the same people that just like complainingFor me, it's requiring an entirely different genre and medium to continue enjoying the movies, or movie in this case. Watching one movie to set up a movie is fine and ultimately what the MCU succeeded at for a decade. Having to watch what to me looks like a sitcom TV series so that I can understand what's going on in a different character's more traditional superhero movie? Can't say I'm a fan, especially when the movie itself was kinda mid imo.
Is it though?Didn't see FF, yes I liked it more than Thunderbolts.

Is peacemaker season 2 really better than daredevil born again? I don't think so. I may even prefer ironheart tbh.I was disappointed with the end of S2 but the rest of it was fun. Haven't watched Daredevil and don't really have any interest in doing so.
I feel like either both are slop or neitherNot necessarily, but you seem determined to defend Marvel or something here.
well yeah that's how people work. do you normally consider other peoples' opinions a you thing?
Fantastic Four didn't blow the world away. Which by default makes it the best FF film since the others were notoribad.Pretty much

I was never much into superheroes, but after getting Disney Plus over a year ago I decided I should watch the MCU, and frankly I have had enough. Also, I have seen maybe 4 or 5 of the atman movies, and I have had enough for a lifetime.

Fair enough. In theory the idea of tv and movie intersecting is great because tv can be used to give additional depth to characters that movies can't...then marvel made their shows into movies anyways. Done right tv could have addedOh absolutely. TV is a different medium to film and has different strengths and should be treated as such. I also don't think that Marvel TV shows are inherently flawed. I loved basically all the Netflix shows (even Iron Fist and Defenders) and I think you can do far more character driven productions with the longer runtime.
I'm a multiverse of madness major fan but I know for a lot of people it's mid regardless of watching wandavision or not

The problem was in execution, not concept.
I agree with everything you said but you lost me a little at marvel Netflix.I thought both seasons of Luke Cage were great too along with S2 of Iron Fist. I can't say I ever felt the pacing was an issue, but both shows were absolutely hurt by their early cancellations.
Marvel Netflix succeeded for daredevil and to a lesser extent Jessica jones (only watched first 2 seasons) but they struggled with mandated 13 episodes. Had the opposite problem of MCU shows
