What did you guys think of the Marvel Avenger’s movies?

[leahhhhaaaaa]

Are there particular scenes you loved/hate?

What would you say could have made them better?

What about the character deaths? Did they surprise you? Could they have been done better?

Would love to hear your opinions.

i loved them but i do wish they would of done more as far as sticking to the comics, don't get me wrong they did amazing and stuck pretty darn close but there were parts i wish they could of added to show more of the dark human side that makes the heroes so lovable. i adore iron man so much and they did a good job of showing his flaws and the dark but they could of done more ya know? same with ant man but i also understand that they needed to make it family friendly too. all in all they were great and i really loved how real they got when it came to loss and death well as real as they could. all the actors and actresses were absolutely amazing and i cannot wait to see what's next.

actually the comics have essentially been modeled after the films lately so "sticking to the comics" is moot. by sticking to the comics (which in reality are constantly retconned and have never stuck to anything) people mean "lets take comics back to whatever decade I was born in." take it from someone who has read a majority of publications of marvel and dc from the 40s to today with scans, comic staples don't actually exist. plus the marvel universe is always in outright misery and conflict. movie goers would never take to how forced marvel melodrama really is.

imo the whole mcu got really boring and repetitive towards the end. it just feels like disney/marvel just churns out a few movies a year that have so much cgi in them they might as well be animated just for the sake of it, and endgame was no exception to the rule even though it was emotional. i miss actually enjoying marvel films, and don't really have an interest now that era of marvel films is done.

i'll just rewatch netflix's daredevil for the 1000th time instead

I didn’t watch Avengers when it first released, but it didn’t reach my expectations. Age of Ultron was pretty good, Infinity War was ok, and I also liked End Game. But overall, I don’t really care for MCU movies, I think they take themselves too seriously.

Spider-man is my favorite Marvel superhero, and I got excited for what was to come after his introduction in Civil War. Sadly, Homecoming didn’t do it for me. I don’t like how Tony Stark is pretty much Peter’s sugar daddy.

Looks like Toby McGuire’s Spider-Man is still my favorite live-action Spider-man.

Watched pretty much every movie and tbh I'll be happy when they... stop.
Its boring and repetitive. The only good one anymore is spiderman but here's to hoping they dont retcon tom Holland away and leave us watching yet... another origin story for a spiderman 3 or 4 years from now.

I can only watch "white male with super powers/fancy robots saves the world" so many times y'kno. Like... you know the ending before it even starts lol. Tony stark dying was the only thing that surprised me in any of the movies.

I used to love Marvel but now every formula just feels the same that they're using and I get bored when I watch most Marvel films now.

I saw several of them and liked some of them for what they were (just fun action/comic films), but I didn't like how many they made and how they all tied together so it was almost like they were forcing you to watch them all to keep up. I like some of the heroes but couldn't care less about others, so I skipped those movies, but then I felt like I was missing some of the pieces by the end when everyone came together. I mean, it wasn't terribly hard to follow, but some lines and backstories just went over my head because I only watched about half of the movies leading up to the end.

They are like a candy, once in a while is nice but a lot at once just leaves a bit of a stale taste. I do like a lot of the characters though that are earth based, they just happen to be more relate-able. The humor can be nice too at times.

To be honest, I don?t like superhero movies (or most big-budget franchises) in general. They?re usually generic and predictable.
But, above all, I mainly dislike the culture surrounding the movies. Some of the fans HAVE to see every single movie multiple times and then buy an absurd amount of merchandise afterwards. It?s too much.

 

[cornimer]

I'm not a huge fan. The rest of my family loves them but I find them boring and repetitive.

I understand, but how does what they do affect you?

 

[d3_3p]

I'm tired of them. There were a couple of fine ones, but by now I have completely lost faith in Disney. Awful Star Wars, constant remakes and barrage of Marvel... they are all about quantity, not quality. I'm more excited about the rising popularity of Korean cinema.

so ok I have a lot to say about marvel. as a DC fan, its so interesting to me to compare the two.

after growing up watching only DC cartoons and other DC tv shows, and occasionally reading comics, I just now within the past year started to watch the marvel movies. I'm trying to watch them in "chronological order" so disclaimer, I have only got as far as captain America civil war. so this is my perspective on marvel so far...

I started with iron man 1 and 2, and the first time I watched it I honestly didn't get it. now after getting more into the marvel universe I realize I took those movies too seriously. and thats my first point. I feel like DC is pretty "serious," sometimes dark, and very dramatic with some wry humor mixed in. Marvel is very realistic, in that the superheros are portrayed as humans first who make human mistakes. DC definitely puts their superheros on a pedestal and glorifies their characters. in the marvel universe, I felt like many characters, especially Tony Stark, are almost unlikeable. he's this self-centered, rich, playboy man who loves the attention he gets from being iron man. but yet, somehow you do find yourself liking him by the end of the iron man movies, because he is very "human" which makes him relatable.

the setting of marvel is also very realistic. for example, the whole shield situation and the fact that they were controlled by a council or whatever (in winter soldier), and then the entire organization got compromised, definitely felt like something that would happen in real life. also Tony stark's weapons getting into the hands of terrorists in the Middle East was very "real." they also seem to exist in real cities in the US, whereas DC often has their superheros residing in fictional cities in the future. my point is, I feel like if superheros did exist in this life, it would play out more like marvel than DC.

lastly, I recently watched guardians of the galaxy and almost hated it, and couldn't understand why so many people were so obsessed with it. I again felt confused the whole movie. I felt like the entire time the main characters (who were again, mostly unlikeable) were just floundering around directionless and never seemed to quite have a grasp on what was going on or what they should do next. again, very different from what I'm use to in DC, where they seem to always have a goal in mind.

so in conclusion (lmao didn't plan on making this an essay), my perspective on marvel is that their characters are very human and are prone to making human errors. my last example of this is when in winter solider they wanted to have that big weapon in space to keep people on earth "safe," but honestly, low key felt like world domination to me. I felt like it was also a similar situation in the next movie age of ultron, when Tony stark wanted to make a human droid out of the mind stone to essentially do the same thing. again, I found this very interesting, because marvel didn't portray their superheros as being righteous all the time and allowed you to disagree with what they were saying. marvel constantly reminds you that the characters are human who are prone to mistakes.

I also realize that perhaps I had a hard time getting into the marvel universe because I knew nothing about it to begin with, and I am very use to DC. regardless, I totally respect both universes and think its super interesting to compare the two. also after rewatching some marvel movies like the iron man series, I now love them, and I am interested to continue the story and see where it goes.
