I really enjoyed The Marvels! I don't know why people are hating on it so much... It's much better than the last few stinkers Marvel put out lol

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

I think it was two things. First, there were a lot of people who were predisposed to hate it because they thought it was "woke" like the first Captain Marvel. You can't ignore the insidious undertones of a lot of critics, but that doesn't invalidate all of the criticisms.

It wasn't a great movie. None of the recent movies were great, but none were as bad as people made them out to be. Critics are just tired of Marvel movies. They have seen a lot of really bad superhero movies, and casual viewers don't know differentiate between Aquaman, Madam Web, and Love and Thunder. So when the latter isn't as good as Ragnarok, it's "just another bad comic book movie" adding to the fatigue.

So there exists a built-in set of anti-fans who feel validation when any of these movies is less than perfect. Deadpool will be fun, and then gird your loins for Captain America because that's going to be a chew toy for all of the worst people.

I liked the first marvel film but thought this one was awful. just from memory, the singing planet made me want to jam pencils in my ears. The antagonist was inexplicably as powerful as all 3 marvels (come on, carol alone went toe-to-toe with thanos). And then she just... blew herself up. So good job, I guess? And the whole b-plot on the SWORD station with Fury and Ms Marvel's family could have just been cut with nothing of value lost.

I agree the singing planet was the lowest point of the film. They could have left that out altogether, and it was the one moment in the movie where I audibly groaned lol I liked the rest of it pretty well though

I agree. It was a solid movie, a lot better than the recent ones that struggled.

Thats just it. Im fucking over Marvel.

It could be the best thing they have done since Thanos snapped his fingers and I still wouldnt give a fuck. Its just done for so many people at this point.

That finger-snap could have done away with half of the greenlit projects and everyone could have saved a lot of time.
