LMAO

The first Avengers movie is when it went beyond post-credits scenes. A restrained approach had stopped at endgame. And also it wouldnt have made age of ultron, that thing was pure filler.

That’s such a good way of putting it.

Those movies aren’t an artform: they’re just…content.

I don't even mind there being a huge elaborate web of relations and context, the real issue imo is that it's all just fucking slop and self reference and The Reddit Idea of Being Epic, meaning that the movie isn't here introducing you to a whole mythos of connected stories like it purports, it's just giving fucking homework of watching old shitty movies and and shows to get shallow references in new shitty movies and shows, and there's no real purpose to it except to make you pay more money to consume more product. It doesn't have interesting ideas or messages, it just wants you to clap when the thing explodes and action man says the line that he said 5 movies ago and also 3 movies ago.

These movies also look like pure shit, they want to make them so quick they don't even bother with acting or VFX (compare the effects of the 1989 Batman Movie or even the 2002 Spider-Man Movie with any modern MCU movie), hell even the lore in these movies are sometimes not even close to the comics.

Most of my fanfiction takes place in the same universe because..... I don't actually remember why I decided that.

Does mean my "Romance novel" happens in the same world as my Rats of NIMH, Redwall, and RWBY fanfictions. Although the latter three occur in simulations, and the "romance novel" and Redwall simulation happens hundreds of years after my author self insert character dies.

......Who needs drugs when you have autism? Now that I've written it out, this is all incredibly convoluted!

“Well that just happened”

All for a 30 second conversation with laser beam guy John Dick, in a movie that won't be worth watching either.

Grinding my own toes would be a more productive use of my time then watching Avenger movies.

"Spandex Boobs" lol.

Didnt she die like 20 movies ago? Did they resurrect her?

At some point someone goes: "i'm glad he's on our side."

Only thing it is missing is them namedropping another superhero in an upcoming movie so you want to go see that one too.

Real “and then” hours

This is what Reagan was talking about

I had a friend who loved them and she'd make me go see every one and I'd find ways to make myself incredibly drunk before heading into the screening.

idk I'm sure my cousin loves them, he's got a comic book collection that's worth buy a house money. The only super hero movies I ever found enjoyable was sam rami's spider-man, dredd, first couple of x-men flicks. Back before these movies started with the shared universe shit and you had to do homework in watching other movies, to follow along. Oh an Blade, Blade 2 also, can't forget those, probably the best marvel movies.

launder money and to hang out with his friends

I'm not a Sandler fan but I respect that grift much more than I do whatever Marvel is doing

Watching a movie? Nah, don't have the attention span.

Spend multiple hours squatting on the floor programming microcontrollers? Yes!

I enjoyed the first wave where they had no idea what they were doing yet, so Captain America was kind of a spy movie and Thor was E.T. But Hot. Once they settled in on a formula, it became impossible to give a damn.

I kind of liked the first iron man. It wasn't great or anything, but it was a fun little romp.

If it's on TV im not gonna change the channel unless there's an ad break
