Current Events > Do you still like the MCU?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Idk if I just grew fatigued or if the movies genuinely deteriorated in quality over time but I still think iron man 1 thru endgame are fun to watch and I was invested

Now... again Idk if it's fatigue or if there's too much saturation or what but these movies are not very good anymore. when i saw awkwafina was in Shang Chi, I knew it was over.

Never did.

No. MCU has become a full on product. It's not really a series of movies anymore but the movies definitely suffer from the productization.

I don't mind most of it as I'm watching it, but I don't really care anymore. It's not terrible, but it's not interesting either.

Yes

i think the last thing i saw was Werewolf of Black and White or w/e it was called. liked it a lot. havent seen any shows aside from Wanda (loved it til it turned into generic marvel stuff), Loki (loved ep 1 hated the rest). havent seen a movie since spider-man vs mysterio man

Werewolf By Night. It was in black and white

And how did you see the ending to Spider-Man Far From Home and not need to see Spider-Man No Way Home? Thats like watching the end of Infinity War and saying "eh, I've seen enough"

It's okay. Usually somewhat entertaining to watch once in a while. Those movies never were masterpieces, anyway. Haven't been keeping up close enough to see if there really is a decline in quality. But there might be.

yea mostly, but it definitely dropped off a lot since endgame.

i'm a couple years behind tho. just watch shang chi like a week ago and just watched eternals today. still need to watch the new black panther and ant man to get caught up on movies. but tv shows i have ms marvel, moonknight, she hulk, secret invasion and think another one still to watch.

trying to get caught up but honestly most of the infinity saga felt like a lot of 9/10+ movies with a few worse. now feels like most of the movies/tv shows are like 7/10 with some being worse and only a couple being 9/10. like eternals was like a 5/10 at best. think they're just oversaturated at this point trying to make as much money as they can and it's bringing down the quality.

Yes and I do still keep up with it, but it's nowhere close to what it was back pre-Endgame. Pretty spotty record since then with some nice highs, but it's just not the same.

I chose the first response but my excitement is mostly gone

Not really. Endgame was the perfect conclusion to me.

Yes, I'm still a fan and try to keep up with all of it. I'm a bit behind now, but just because there's been so many things to watch in general. MCU, Star Wars, Anime, Gen V, etc. I'm not nearly as critical of it as others have been. The only thing that really dropped my excitement levels was in endgame when (spoilers) Tony Stark died. He was my favorite character in the MCU by far. RDJ was amazing in the role.

Since Endgame, theyve produced a lot of content.

Ive seen it all apart from Werewolf by Night, She-Hulk and Miss Marvel.

Wakanda Forever was okay. Guardians 3 was good. Everything else was varying degrees of bad.

Now I only really watch the things I'm actively looking forward to

I'll watch Fantastic Four (PLEASE be good, or at least have it feel like an actual movie) and Deadpool 3 when those are out but I think after those two are out I've totally checked out.

I only care about spiderman now after endgame

All of the series killed it for me. I like it, but it's too much time to invest into it now.

Pretty much dropped interest after Endgame.

Only film I've seen since has been No Way Home and it was purely out of nostalgia for the Raimi-series characters.

Yeah, but I stopped following it after endgame. I watched Thor 4, and I'll get around to GotG 3 at some point, beyond that I'm done.

I actually have liked all the series Ive seen besides Secret Invasion. Which sucks because that one really shouldve been amazing. I think the only one I didnt watch is Hawkeye, just because I find him and his abilities boring.

Still have to watch a bunch of the movies. I just have to get in the mood because its not easy for me to sit through movies without being distracted by my phone.

The MCU is like fast food. Sometimes the fries are fresh, the burger is great, and that's your Endgame. Sometimes it's kinda blah, but it still tastes alright and fills you up, that's your Thor 2.

I don't think the MCU has ever had less than like a 6/10 piece of media. You know going in that even if it's a bad one for the franchise, you're going to get a neat CGI fight and some dumb quips to laugh at.

I would say its had plenty.

Okay, I didn't say Glob thought that, I said I thought that.

Most of them are godawful, few exceptions are Thor ragnarok and guardians 1/2. Infinity war/endgame have ok moments, but 90% of the mcu is hot trash.

i too stopped following after Endgame or the second Spiderman film. I'm sure the recent films are good/fun but I'm not in a rush to watch them.

Not anymore after Endgame. It just doesn't feel the same without the Avengers

what's wrong with that?

Im sorry. Did you not realise that when you make a claim about the quality of something that people might disagree with you, and that they might then voice their disagreement?

Yes, and I still keep up with it, but I feel like my hype dwindles more with each entry nowadays, when the opposite used to be true.

I stopped keeping up after Endgame, and even then I didn't watch every movie leading up to it. I might be interested again if the Xmen finally show up, but I'm not down with the current B-lister brigade.

No, I know people will disagree, you just didn't really say anything other than "nuh-uh" which doesn't really add to the discussion.

Im not trying to convince you. Just stating an opinion, the same as you did. This isnt a debate.

No, that's not how this works, we have to argue our opinions to be objective facts until one of is compelled to call the other a slur and get warned.

I stopped after end game

just didnt care anymore. too much crossover stuff for me

No, never did. Even the early "good ones" were a 7 at best. Then they became insufferable, reference ridden comedies.

Pass.

Pass.

I'm going to assume this is some kind of slur I'm unfamiliar with and that you'll be modded post-haste.
