The only good multiverse story is one where a psycho goes to all the multiverses and massacre every single "self" then some, then all the killings' done, he call himself a hero.

The MCU pretty much lost me around the 2nd Avengers, the interconnectedness of all the movies turned me off going to the theatres to watch the MCU films, but I did kept on streaming the follow ups until the Eternals.

So dragons don't breathe fire but rather ... hot coals (or black dragon phlegm)? OK...

I didn't grow up on tabletop DnD, but rather on Wizardry, Eye of the Beholder, Ultima and later the BG/IWD/NWN series etc. on the PC ... this doesn't feel like any of those DnD PC games. Now now, I know a tabletop DnD game can feel vastly different depending on the DM and the players, it CAN be as silly as anything, please don't boooo me.

I mean, if I'm more charitable-minded I'd call this is more Discworld and The Bard's Tale than typical DnD.

But really, this, this feels like a lazy MCU formula movie put in a fantasy setting and call it DnD.

This should be great as long as it's not another reboot/origin Batman as it's co-written & directed by Reeves. I LOVE the 2011 PotA franchise, so I'm a lot of trust in Reeves' directing. However, if it's another reboot, then I'm not that excited. Looking at the trailer, it seems more like a reboot than not... so, fingers crossed.

My questions to movie franchises are alway, "is a reboot necessary? Even if the main characters went off screen for a few years/decade? If you're not doing a justifiably different interpretation of a character (comedy Batman to Dark Knight Batman), why not build on previous works?"

The Sony-to-MCU Spidies were still the same Spidey in character at the end of the day after 3 actors playing it. It didn't need those reboots but did, and the origin films were boring.

Hope it's less formulaic & tired as the MCU

All the previs in the world can't make bad scripts into good movies.

I enjoyed the early Avengers movies (the Ironmans and the 1st Thor & Capt), then the later ones are all bore-fests.

Why are they dumb? For me MCU movies have the tendency of the second 3 heroes are on screen together the action gets dumb.

Super busy VFX bores me to death, there's rarely any emotional payoff in those scenes. And all these previs does is to make a busy mess of action shots. Meh...

I thought this was going to be a Spider-man spinoff. Come on MCU; take us back to WWII!

jesus.... how do they keep fucking this up?

I'm a 40-year-old guy who grew up on DC comics. I have a shelf full of them. There are one or two Marvel titles, but really they were never my thing.

And yet, I've seen nearly every MCU movie and only 2 DCU movies, and only one I actually enjoyed.

FFS WB, this isn't that hard. It's not even like you haven't done it before... just animated.

Batman animated, Justice League, Teen Titans... they all had elements of the "dark and gritty" but they were fun! They certainly weren't an absolute clusterfuck like this nonsense.

Just stop. Please... just give it a rest.

Give it to the animated dept, or the guys who made the Arkham games, anyone but the muppets in charge of this shitshow.

imo, infinity war had the best ending of any marvel movie and they should keep it as the actual ending of the current MCU. the main story telling problem with most superhero movies is there is no real risk or threat to the main characters, only to the people around them. this makes all the action have much less impact as consequences to the violence and action are minimized. ending the series with real deaths from a foe they could not defeat finally gives the series the gravitas that it failed to have up until this point.

also, thanos was by far the most interesting and complex character in the whole MCU. the reframing of his motives vastly improved on his character.

Ahem, Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. Just as an example, although not seen (yet) in the MCU, both Dr. Strange and Charles Xavier together could not totally defeat her.

Quicksilver could probably take him down as well, but he is no longer available in the Avengers movie canon.

While not shown in the MCU, and therefore up to speculation, Thor's hammer can actually absorb Magneto's magnetic manipulation and cannot be controlled by Magneto. There is an alternate universe comic that shows Thor with multiple versions of the hammer, but only one is the actual Mjolnir. At one point, Magneto captures one of the non-Mjolnir hammers because it has a base of Iron instead of Uru (the metal used to forge Mjolnir).

So, pretty funny, but far from accurate. Obviously, Hulk doesn't seem to care who he smashes (if they are heroes or villains), so I don't think he would back down either.

And with Daredevil AND Deadpool's reputation proceeding him in the MCU, it's really really REALLY time for Spidey to get in and own sum fase. Seriously.

Come on.

Pst! He's cool.

(Spiderman -- hey, I'm still waiting.)

k, I'll be over here pacing back and forth while the important people in Hollywood call all of the shots.

...How much longer? Oh man, come on!

I'll be on the side of the building if anybody needs me. *jumps off the top of the roof*

This video is so incredibly spot on, it isn't even funny anymore.

And yeah, the new Daredevil show rocks. I think their KIngpin is the best villian in the entire MCU so far. Only Loki can compete.

The sad part is, the comics do sometimes offer better solutions. I'm tired of Peter Parker Spiderman. I grew up with him but to be honest, who the fuck is that Morales guy? I'm actually curious about him. Isn't Captain Marvel a muslim girl now?
It could be better.
However, even the black guys are just best buddies, they're never the star. At least the new MCU Avengers team is actually a bit more interesting.

There are also rumors that Disney and Sony worked out a deal for Spider Man to appear in some of the other movies, while Sony retains Spider Man for solo films... Given Spider Man's roll in Civil War, I'd guess that's the movie he's most likely to appear in. I wonder if that deal means that some of the MCU characters can cross over to the Spider Man movies to help boost those. If that's all it took to make the deal, if I were either studio, I'd do it. Cross promotion like that... hecks yeah. Too bad Fox is still apparently being stubborn. Still, exciting times.

Also, a teaser trailer for a movie that is still 4 and 5 years out. That's got to be near a record.
