Loki is so fucking tedious. The characters keep talking about how clever everyone else is, but no one ever does anything clever. The scene where the skinny black woman interrogates the fat black woman and the fat black woman is like "I can read you and you're searching for answers" and I just shouted "HOW?!" at my television because the skinny black woman is such a wooden actress she has the same blank expression on her face in every scene.

Honestly, Loki is just Agents of SHIELD but with one good actor. This show desperately needed a writing pass, a good director and less focus on propping up shitty characters over the two leads,
 
Honestly, I'm not surprised Black Widow's doing alright.

Of all the Phase 4 films, I figured it would do the best. Especially since everyone wants some kind of semblance of pre-COVID life and Black Widow is an actually well-liked character in the MCU.

The real acid test on whether or not the capeshit fad has worn out its welcome or not is going to be The Eternals. If that bombs or even just underperforms badly enough, then we can finally stick a fork in the MCU.

Spider-Man doing well isn't really indicative of the wider capeshit fad since he's one of the few "evergreen" superheroes that always are a draw even for the "normies" and will always get some kind of major adaptation, sort of like how Batman and Superman are with DC.

Dude, you should know by now to turn your brain off when watching MCU shit.

Shang Chi will probably do OK since I can't really call the last time we had a kung-fu movie in theatres.

Shang Chi is one that they have to tread carefully with. So far it looks like a white guy's dream of what asian mysticism is like. But it doesn't help that Simu is ugly. China is already pissed off about it so nobody really knows if it will be done well in that country.

From the trailer, it kinda reminds me of Doctor Strange. And Doctor Strange was probably one of the most boring, by the numbers MCU movies that’s basically just Iron Man 1 without the fun parts.

It’ll probably do fine because it at least has an easily identifiable plot. The Eternals is where they’ve gotta watch out, because the leaked plot (which to be fair is filtered through some guy recounting what he saw) is completely incomprehensible.

Spider-Man/Peter Parker along with Batman and Superman have been the Big 3. Superheroes whom almost everyone in the world would recognized for the better part of 50 plus years despite never reading a comic or watching a movie of them.

I knew Black Widow would do well.

I'm more curious about Shang Chi and especially The Eternals. I mean for God's sake, are people really going to flock to go see that?

Shang-chi will because it's just a typical over the top retard action movie with very basic capeshit sprinkled on top of it. I'd be surprised if that didn't do at least "average" Marvel numbers. Eternals is a gamble but unlike everyone else I don't think that'll be a gauge for everyone's taste for capeshit as a whole, but their willingness to "expand" on it. It flops, you're not going to see less Marvel movies, you're going to see more "generic" Marvel movies because they're not going to be willing to deviate from the proven formula again. Not on the big screen, at least.

I actually think the entirety of Agents of Shield is high up there with the MCU's best work, even if it's not canon.

In fact, I think it outgrew the MCU. In the post-Infinity War seasons, when it became clear that this show is no longer canon with the MCU films, I didn't feel an ounce less invested in it.

The Agents of Shield main cast are arguably the most developed characters ever in the MCU, if only for how much time we've spent with them.

Season 1 is pretty cringey, but seasons 2-4 (especially 4, which I will unironically defend as good) were pretty fucking solid. They really manage to hit some of the X-files/spooky government conspiracy notes that I’m a sucker for. They also manage to have a fairly large female cast (including Ming Na Wen as one of the leads) without being faggots about muh gurl power, which is always a plus in my book.

It’s basically just high-budget MCU fan-fiction, complete with “yeah, our characters were totally there in the background of these important in-universe events!”, but I definitely still think parts of it are genuinely good in their own right and worth a watch.
 
Kinda surprised no one has posted this yet.
Deadpool in the MCU, reacting to a movie trailer with Korg, on Ryan Reynolds' official YouTube channel.

I definitely didn't expect a tongue-in-cheek parody of YouTube reaction videos to be how Deadpool joined the MCU, but I'm okay with it :story:

Edit: Just saw this from Reynolds' Instagram page, lol

You know I've been wondering if a war with China or some other major war erupted (think WWIII) would we see the cast of the MCU trying to sell war bonds to kids like Adam West did in the 60s or similar propaganda? just a thought; I'll take my puzzle pieces and leave

OK that was pretty great.

And you know what? The trailer itself wasn't half bad either.
 
Saw Black Widow. It was just boring. At times reminded me of that Charlie’s Angels remake - it wasn’t that bad, but the whole “evil man seeks to control wammen” plot was still distractingly political - but in the end it was just boring.

It felt like a made for tv movie.
 
Just watched the Loki finale. I'm not going to spoil much, but I will say that it definitely has a way better ending than the two other shows so far did. It also has much larger and more interesting consequences for the MCU going forward than the others. It has ramifications that will impact the movies in more ways than just easter eggs, I.E. Kang being set up as a big-bad moving forward and the multiverse/timelines going wack. I enjoyed Jonathan Major's performance as well.

At least to me, the show stuck the landing pretty well, and I enjoyed it a fair amount overall. The mid-credits scene is just a confirmation of a season 2, and I hope that they are able to maintain this level of quality. I don't know how much hope I have in them to do that, though.
