Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

True! I enjoyed Loki. Ms Marvel was OK. Shang Chi was fun. Generally though, I feel that things have gotten really watered down and the quality has taken a nosedive. I haven't bothered watching the new Thor or Ant-Man. The Marvels looks great, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm really really hoping that Fantastic 4 is good, and done properly this time (especially Doom).

Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we're up to now.

I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure why it got so much hate.

[–] AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Modok was terrible but the overall movie was alright imho

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I liked it too but it is very obviously a bad BAD BAD movie.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I apparently go against the flow. I didn't like Avengers: Endgame (I only watched it to find out what happens) and, while we're at it, I didn't like Rogue One either.

I fucking despise Rogue One and would rather sit through Jar-Jar Binks singing Bohemian Rhapsody through the duration of the entire song than to have to sit and watch that monstrosity of a movie again.

I do not want to watch some poor girl get told off, put down, and kicked down by everyone else around her simply because she was a sacrificial lamb for the overarching plot and everyone else knew it but her. And that's all Rogue One was.

Honestly, I just thought it was mostly boring except for that one Darth Vader scene.

F4 has such high expectations I don't think it can be done properly.

I thought Krasinski was a good Mr. Fantastic in Dr Strange 3, so we'll see where they take it.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. They should keep him in the role. He's the fan favorite.

I didn't dislike Krasinski in Dr Strange 2 but I wasn't fully sold on him. He was fine for a cameo, but I don't think he'd pull off the character in a lead role. Mr Fantastic - or at least my interpretation of him - has always been arrogant, aloof and disconnected. It's clear he thinks he's the smartest person in the room (because he is, and probably the planet), and he's not necessarily a cold person but it's obvious he focuses more on his work than on the people around him, even if he does care about them. Krasinski just never sold me on being the smartest person on the planet, not did he really nail the slightly disconnected aspect of the character, I feel.

It's perhaps a slightly weird suggestion, but I've always felt that Glenn Howerton (Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) would be my ideal Mr Fantastic. He can absolutely pull of that arrogant, slightly narcissistic aspect of the character, but I feel like he can do it in a charismatic, likeable way. And he can definitely sell the idea that he's very intelligent. Plus he looks the part.
