Antman and the Wasp : Quantumania
Probably could have pushed through on the TV, but on the big screen it was an embarrassment. There was so little care taken in the CGI (noted that this was a COVID film)
Unpopular, but I don't regret watching it. Marvel had some absolute bangers right before that, so the bar was pretty high, but it was an enjoyable, pointless, narratively-aimless movie for me.
The most embarrassing thing about the decline of the Marvelverse is the fans pretending it was ever anything better.
They're dumb, quippy action movies with loads of CGI, and they never pretended to be anything else.
It's okay to be bored of that...
take any studio's output in that volume and you're bound to have some really great stuff, and some absolute stinkers. everyone talks about how marvel's fallen off, my friend in odin, have you seen thor 2? lol, it's not a recent drop in quality.... it's a studio cranking out as many films as they can, there's gonna be variation in the output.
A few of the early ones were good. It was a bit of a thing back then when a superhero movie took itself seriously. Of course, very quickly the studio realised they could just take the hardcore fans for granted and then they just became paint by numbers fan service.
Yeah, I thought it was okay. It wasn't anything amazing, but it amused me enough to keep watching when it came on D+.
I'm with you on that one, absolute garbage.
It was so hard to watch, even just on the TV as background noise. It took my wife and I 3 different attempts in the same day to try and watch it, and we never spent more than 10 minutes on the couch before we got up and started doing something else. My wife has a much higher tolerance for the more recent mediocre MCU movies, but even she wasn't able to watch it.
I would have walked out of most late-stage MCU. Formulaic, soulless, CGI shit-fest.
