pezzicle 12/21/22 11:39:50 AM #256	most_games_r_ok posted... Having expectations met or not seems like a weird way to influence scores as heavily as you did although maybe that's just me. Ya I won't deny that that just doesn't work for some people, but it makes sense to me. it mostly influenced Avengers 1, AoU and Endgame I'd say. To address some of the thing you mentioned specifically Iron Man 1 vs Captain America 1 IM1 is a fine movie, don't get me wrong, and upon looking at my list a second time (it was copy/pasted from how I had initially rated them and sent to my friends who were wanting a ranking as I was doing it) it probably actually should be up under Avengers 1 in that above tier. It's a decent movie and certainly better than Endgame. It does feel a little too "brown people bad" though for my liking, but that is likely just personal preference. It FEELS like the first movie, if that makes sense. A bit juvenile. Moving it up brings it into the same tier as CA1, and honestly you could likely say the bottom 4 of that tier now (CA 1 thru IM1) are pretty easily interchangeable Spiderman stuff - I found the first Spiderman to be a bit boring and the action felt really sloppy. The movement felt really artificial and I didn't think the CGI was all that great and it pulled me out of it. The first Raimi spiderman is a better looking Spiderman movie, it flows better, and for him as a character, that is really important to me. The second movie improved on that, hence more enjoyment. The case of these two movies though is top tier. Holland is the perfect casting choice for Spiderman. Endgame - I honestly really didn't like this movie. It's higher placement is more a result of the movies below it being mostly bad movies instead of Endgame actually being good. The bottom tier for me is "these movies are bad" while the second last tier is "these movies are bad but has some kind of redeeming quality". (hence why I needed to move Iron Man 1, that description doesn't fit). This movie though, to me, was just a mess. The first hour is honestly dreadful, struggling to explore the strange and wonderful audacity of Infinity War's conclusion before just jumping right back into the mundane cycle of things. The cameo structure is really jarring and doesn't actually do anything other than elicit gasps from the audience as they cheer on the movie. Endgames first move is to figure out a solution to the end of Infinity War instead of actually grappling with the consequences of it. Instead of being a really interesting conclusion it ends up being warm fan service. After the awesomeness that was Infinity War, this just left a really poor taste in my mouth. Age of Ultron - Honestly, I don't get the hate of this. The dialogue has some issues, but I honestly found the entire thing really captivating and refreshing. It was well paced, and was a great balance between soap opera and spectacle. The characters have personality that really help push forward the narrative of identity and responsibility as well as the ambiguity of power. I honestly felt like this was a really great movie and didn't get all the hate. Granted, I also think that The Last Jedi is the 2nd best Star Wars movie which a lot of people think is insane so maybe I just like things people don't normally like --- stop victory lapping around your desk, your chair has rollers, it's not even really exercise Currently Playing: Subnautica Below Zero

pezzicle 12/20/22 4:45:49 PM #250	redrocket posted... For someone who self-identifies as a pretentious film buff it seems weird you would penalize GotG 2 for daring to stand on its own instead of slavishly serving the needs of Disneys money prin err the overarching story. not entirely certain how those two things are correlated at all i don't penalize GotG 2 for "daring to stand on its own". I penalize it because it was boring and uninteresting to me. The dialogue is pretty bad and the story takes forever to actually go anywhere. I find it funny that you think it tries to stand on its own when it serves no purpose at all other than to merchandise the characters and the MCU even more as GotG 1 was one of their biggest hits among non MCU people GotG 2 has an interesting start and good end, but the middle like 70 minutes or so are very boring subplots mostly where everyone basically spins their own wheels in their own useless exposition. I didn't find it very good and found Black Panther (what I watched right after), another movie that didn't really push the narrative forward, to be much more compelling and interesting. --- stop victory lapping around your desk, your chair has rollers, it's not even really exercise Currently Playing: Subnautica Below Zero

pezzicle 12/20/22 2:40:23 PM #248	most_games_r_ok posted... Curious for your thoughts on these rankings. Some of these I think are pretty out there and certainly against the majority. Best place to start is probably to note that a lot of this ranking is because of expectation. I obviously knew all about the MCU, and had actually seen a few of them before (Iron Man 1 and 2 and Avengers) but never really was all that interested in them. I was a pretty big film buff around the time Phase 1 was happening and sort of pretentiously just dismissed them as a result. Always had heard all about them though as you would if you didn't live under a rock, and being a big movie person, I was dialed into the consensus but never interested in watching them. So things that I had largely heard good things about that I thought were meh got penalized likely (avengers 1, Endgame, maybe Dr Strange or GotG 2) and vice versa (AoU, Captain Marvel). For example I found Age of Ultron to be really entertaining but I had been told by many that it was really bad so I had low expectations. I suspect that influenced my position. Im interested in what else you are speaking to, as I don't think my list is all that wacky outside of a few ones. GotG 2 was very likely me just being very annoyed that it was a separate story and one that I also just wasn't interested in being a part of. At the point where it came to watch it, I was much more interested in the overarching story than I was anything else, so it literally felt like 2 hours of wasted time to me --- stop victory lapping around your desk, your chair has rollers, it's not even really exercise Currently Playing: Subnautica Below Zero

pezzicle 09/20/22 10:43:42 AM #31	I usually don't engage with it too often, especially at like, formal holiday dinners. I'm just such a bigger fan of the regular meal food that I'd rather get seconds of that then eat any dessert. I don't mind a few random things, like Apple or Pumpkin pie. I like a fresh baked cookie every so often. I like a cinnamon bun too but legit only eat one of those a year probably. I like vanilla ice cream.
