I thought there were more films that I hadn't seen, the only 2 that I would potentially watch out of that list is Shang Chi and Thor. People have suggested Shang Chi and Doctor Strange 2, and Black Widow is enjoyable enough too. Of the TV Shows you haven't watched Hawkeye and Loki are both really good. I'd say they're maybe the best two TV shows. I thought they were both two of the best things in the whole MCU. Falcon and Winter Soldier is watchable, though it's a bit exposition-y especially at the beginning. It's passable, but some of the character changes are significant, and it introduces US Agent, who was a good character. She Hulk is good too, but it's a very different tone, very light...the episodes are short. Ms Marvel is also fine tbh, but it does get a bit cheesy and is aimed a bit younger. With those other films, for me I found Shang Chi a bit boring, Doctor Strange 2 suffers from stuffing too much in, especially at the beginning, but there are some memorable moments in it—and when the Raimi stuff kicks in, the film takes on a tone you rarely see in the MCU. Captain Marvel is pants and Eternals feels half hearted and is pretty dull. I haven't seen Thor yet. Edit: oh and Moon Knight is really bad imo.

Getting that large and that defined on it's own is incredibly difficult to do naturally, let alone doing it that quickly. There's a running joke in bodybuilding circles about how actors can't admit getting artificial help and contribute everything to just eating chicken, rice and broccoli whilst also selling to naive beginners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I watched Thor love and Thunder last night I like Waititi and the humour he puts into his films , but this one felt like I was watching a film made for 10 year olds … not terrible but a slight taint on the the Thor legacy of being the second best films in the marvel series behind GOTG. and WTF were they thinking with Russel Crowe , that role and acting was embarrassing and should end his career .. yet from the end credits it suggests not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted September 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2022 Finally watched Love and Thunder. Wish I hadn't. Think I'm very nearly done with the MCU now as there's way too many duds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 well, I tried watching Doc Strange 2, managed about an hour and fell asleep, doubt I'll go back and finish it.

leemond2008 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'm going to go back and finish Doc Strange later and I've just put on Thor L&T and feel like smashing my TV already, about 5 minutes in and its already infuriating. Several of the jokes have been painfully unfunny and Thor himself is already a walking parody. I really am trying with these films but my god, the MCU has taken a turn for the worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked Black Widow, although I think Florence Pugh outshone the lead. Not seen Shang Chi or Eternals Hated Doc Strange 2, turned off after about 30 mins, although a few have said I should persevere. Thor L&T I quite liked. It's a mess, but there are some funny parts for sure. Also thought Bale was a good villain. Only seen Wandavision of the TV stuff, but liked it.

villa4europe Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Mess is the right word for thor L&T, there's some really good bits in there that work such as the colours at the end, I'd even give them the relationship between Jane and Thor but then it's littered with some absolutely bizarre stuff, the stormbreaker thing was bollocks and how the **** did he think the goats worked? Probably doesn't help that he went back to those 2 things over and over again too One of its biggest problems was the whole middle part with the gods was guff, omniscient city and zeus didn't work at all, agree on crowe, Hercules won't work either if they make him talk like that Bale stole the show and the fight scenes were pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
