Looks fine. I'm in, there hasn't been a Marvel film I haven't enjoyed since at least 2013 so I'm confident. Excited to see David Harbour and Florence Pugh. Not a huge fan of Taskmaster's design but I'll get over it.

That Taskmaster "costume" is fucking disgraceful. We've literally gotten so far in comic book adaptations dropping the "muh realism" angle that this year, we basically got a ripped from the comics Mysterio and then they pull this. I'm mad.

Besides that, it looks fine. It's gonna be fine, all the MCU films are. Probably will check it out

At this rate given they just keep repeating the same formulaic feel for all their movies I have no more interest in the MCU besides Guardians 3 and Doctor Strange 2. They really should had ended it with Far From Home which kinda served as sort of an epilogue to Endgame.

This movie feels like just like any of their previous films.

Hey Spirit did your mother ever tell you if you have nothing nice to say? Don't say it at all. No? Well okay then I guess not.

You also have the option to not say anything at all and mocking or making fun of others especially wasting your time following me and copy-pasting my comments from other threads to just post them here. In the same way you're literally doing the same which makes you no better.

Never thought about any of that at all did you? No again? Okay then. Then again I forget your the snarky guy who makes rather snarky comments around the site so what am I to say to you.

Wanna prove yourself too then don't comment back on this. And another thing. This is the internet. No one's perfect especially being repetitive. Never thought about that either too huh?

Have a nice day.

;)

'90s... whether Spirit is being snarky or not, this is not exactly the first time someone has pointed out your repetitive tendencies; you yourself have acknowledged them many times in the past. It's true that nobody is perfect, but... I mean, this isn't like talking out loud, which is so simple and automatic that you can ramble and repeat yourself without being aware of it. A lot more time and deliberate focus goes into typing out a post. You have to be aware, to a significant extent, of what you're doing. It's hard to believe that you could just type the same post multiple times in a day and not be aware of it.

And on-topic: haven't seen the Black Widow trailer yet. Will have to do that soon. As for MCU Hulk, I agree that he was handled awkwardly, but it's hard to blame Disney for struggling with him. It's hard to find a balance between 'rampaging monster made of pure rage' and 'hero that kids can root for' without some sort of awkwardness. Even the comics are constantly changing him.

Same here. What's the point of making a Black Widow movie in between Civil War and Infinity War when it should have come out, you know, in between that timeframe of 2016 and 2018? And given how she sacrificed herself in Endgame, her being in ANY danger in the movie is utterly pointless.

Unfortunately, I don't have a snarky response to what you just said.

Oh...Wait.

Nevermind.

The awkward handling of Hulk is probably a consequence of Universal holding the solo film rights, and the semi-retconning of the Edward Norton film making Hulk this kind of “big spectacle only” character with little room to develop as they can’t make any solo films to really explore the character. I think Ragnarok has been the sole film that handles Hulk (not Bruce Banner) real well.

I mean, not really? It was very obviously setting up Peter becoming a full on hero and further shenanigans from SHIELD. Not to mention the end credit scene which EVERYONE would have been pissed if they never fully fulfilled.


Also, you're forgetting the real reason they're still going.

I probably should had been clear and meant not putting in that post-credits.

That's just my opinion I do know they're keeping it going just for the money.

The post credits would've better lent itself as the actual ending of the film. Since... That'd be the main plot point of a Spider 3.

News flash, everything in the world you like is done for the money.

As for Black Widow while it is a prequel and we know she will be fine we also know that any mcu hero is likely going to be fine outside an Avengers film anyway. No one thought Tony or Cap were in danger till Infinity war for example.

Damn, that sucks! I was really excited for that one, and it sounded like Marvel was really behind Derrickson's vision in all their recent comments! :(
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

This and Guardians 3 were the only MCU films (Might go see Spider-Man 3 having grew up knowing the character and my brother probably wanting to see it if he comes into town next Summer) I was interested in seeing at this point being burned out by them after Endgame. It sucks because what made Doctor Strange stand out from other superhero films was its mystic arts and magic. The fact too this would had been an horror.

Ah, it's the early Phase 2 nightmare all over again. I love it. But yeah, I'm not surprised since Feige actually walked back the horror stuff recently.

What? That sucks. I was interested in that film the most because of the horror aspects. Ugh.
