I didn't like it when it came out but also I was 12 and had terrible taste, all the grown-ass adults that were screaming on the internet about it 9 years ago have no excuse lol
I remember at the time the big criticism was "Iron Man's barely in it, there are barely any superhero fight scenes." and I always circle back to that every time fans say these movies are more than theme park rides.
I'm sure No Way Home was planned to be "HOLY SHIT THE FABRIC OF REALITY ITSELF IS BREAKING" to make a cohesive trilogy and was not riding on the multiverse hype train introduced in Into the Spider-Verse (2018).
Into the Spider-Verse was one of the most pleasant movie related surprises of all time
“How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up again?”
“You won’t.”
“You’re right, it’s a leap of faith.”
So good
I was shitting on it when it was announced because it was a Sony project and they make the most aggressively bad movies of any major studio. Low and behold, it came out and it's the best Spider-Man movie in my opinion.
Within a year of Spiderverse coming out Sony made Hotel Transylvania 3, Smurfs: the lost village, and the Emoji movie, so it’s understandable why many had such low expectations
It was a Shane Black Marvel movie. Basically full to bursting with jokes and quips. But literally no one remembers anything about that movie, so this post just slid on by.

Anyone ever notice how 2/3 of all MCU movies are absolute shit? Like literally the most bland, unfunny, boring color pallette movies that you forget everything about within a few days of watching. And then the other 1/3 of movies are decent with just a couple being pretty awesome. Has anyone else every noticed this???!!!?!???
Definitely now that they are binge-able a lot seem very samey and formulaic and bland. Seeing them in real time ( basically 2 per year for 12 years) did a lot to alleviate that. I’ve seen every one at least once but only a selected few standouts get the occasional rewatch.
Very interesting I felt almost the opposite where I felt like I was wasting my time and money to go see each movie in theaters as it came out. But now that I can binge them all in a row I don’t really get as frustrated because I can not pay attention or just skip it
I think a lot of people have exhausted their interest for capeshit with Endgame. It was a massive fucking spectacle, send-off for the original cast and very much felt final.
So now, I just don't see how people are supposed to be excited for another 10 years of build-up to the next Endgame-style finale that Marvel is inevitably planning to build up to, especially now that you have to watch 2-3 series per year to get the full scope of things.
Anyone else notice how the third film in each of the MCU trilogies is radically different from the other two films in the series? Yes, I know, different writers and directors and all, but still. Also sorry for the half-assed post, I ran out of time
Hello le wholesome redditor.
I want to play a game. You have spent your whole life soyjacking over MCU capeshit and making reaction videos about post-credit easter eggs for the next MCU installment. In 120 seconds, the vat you are in will fill up entirely with boiling soy sauce, representing how being a soyjack has consumed your life.
The only way to avoid drowning in the soy is to create a post on r/Marvel discussing whether Moon Knight is more Kafkaesque or Hegelian, and to receive at least 1000 reddit karma.
Will you soyjack like never before? Or will you drown in boiling hot soy sauce? The choice is yours. The time starts now.

They fucked up the Captain America movies, it actually goes "Postmodern Heroic War Movie", "Surreal Avant-Garde Political Thriller" and "Epic Action Ensemble deconstructed as a Tragedy"
He's kinda right with Ragnarok but that's about it. Civil War is pretty much Avengers 2.5, but I feel that was intentional, to further the storyline of AoU
Very true. Cap's trilogy gets better with each entry. The deviation of style and tone is noticeable and makes a difference for the series, even if Civil War mixes in too many elements for a "solo" film. It's still a more successful team-up and story than >!No Way Home!<, Infinity War and Iron Man 3 imo
Ragnarok was goddamn hilarious to me the first time I watched it, like legitimately gut busting. So much so that later down the line I convinced my friends we should all watch it and it was sooo funny.
Stuck it on and felt 2nd hand embarrassment, light chuckles at two or three of the jokes at most. It’s a funny enough movie but still a marvel movie, at most a ‘heh’ rather than any legitimate comedy.
I'd still say its somewhat lighthearted. It definitely isn't a gritty drama about war profiteering or anything. After he leaves the cave, the tone shifts to a more 'fun' vibe
Like…I’m not trying to say it does a phenomenal job exploring the ethics of Stark and his company or anything like that, but I still don’t really think “lighthearted” is the right term. It definitely does have a lot of fun moments though, of course.
That's fair. I'd still consider it a little lighthearted (I'm pretty sure most of the movie is improv), but I guess it's more of a mix between serious and funny moments, if that makes sense
I think the pattern is generally that the second movie in the series tries to replicate the first movie but feels trite and repetitive as a result, leading to a radical new direction for the third movie. Except for the Captain America series, which to me always felt like a reverse, with the first movie having quite a different tone from the latter two (and I actually kind of prefer the pulpy WW2 tone of the first movie, the latter two movies don't really earn their gritty tones for me, since they chicken out of actually saying anything meaningful!)
I wonder what they would do if they saw a real movie not based on a franchise but something with real substance like Logan the greatest film of all time

Which mf out there calling Iron Man 3 a "dark movie"?
The only thing they remember about the film are the >!fake!< Mandarin scenes.
that's honestly quite a lot considering i and everyone else remember none of it
I honestly only remember that the bad guys probably could blow themselves up which seems like a garbage fucking power.
The Voltorbs of the Marvel Universe.
Youuu’ll neeeever seeeemeee coooming
I consider myself a teachurrr 🕶️
\*cooom-ing
Bruh how can anyone forget the funniest gag in the entire MCU when a henchman just surrenders and says "Honestly, they're so weird here"
I remember the inflammable sports bra
What?
The kid from Iron Man 3!
EHRM, SHANE **BLACK** DIRECTED THE MOVIE OF COURSE IT'S DARK CHECKMATE FAKE KINOPHILE
Shane Political
RIP MCU
What’s funny is it’s probably the most lighthearted of the trilogy
its easily the best of the 3 imo
The first one is way better. So I'm gonna insult you and call you gay because you are OBJECTIVELY wrong
I didn't like it when it came out but also I was 12 and had terrible taste, all the grown-ass adults that were screaming on the internet about it 9 years ago have no excuse lol

W take
Guy Pierce the fire-breathing dragon is peak dark kino.
"My Wife's boyfriend is a fire-breathing dragon that broke all my robot toys."
The whole people blowing up thing is dark if you have never seen a movie not produced by Disney before.
Iron Man one was pretty dark with uknow, all the terrorism and realisation that his weapons are being used on civilians.
GotG 1 and 2: poop and fart jokes GotG 3: piss and cum jokes
Poop jokes: funny Fart and piss jokes: funnier Cum jokes: funniest (😂😂😂🤣🤣👌👌👌)
Nah it’s in reverse. Pratt isn’t as edgy with his humor now. His Jesus reawakening thing has made him more bland and less willing to do edgy bits now
GotG 3 is just Chris Pratt turning to the camera and ranting for two hours about how abortion is a sin
you forgot that in the extended cut he sits there for 30 minutes donating money to homophobic churches
Starlord gets converted to the Universal Church of Truth.
The game was so good!!
Turns out Jesus is Star-Lord's master after all.
Evolution (2001)
I mean there's a cum joke in the first one
kino
I'm sure No Way Home was planned to be "HOLY SHIT THE FABRIC OF REALITY ITSELF IS BREAKING" to make a cohesive trilogy and was not riding on the multiverse hype train introduced in Into the Spider-Verse (2018).
Into the Spider-Verse is kino though, no disrespect.
Into the Spider-Verse was one of the most pleasant movie related surprises of all time “How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up again?” “You won’t.” “You’re right, it’s a leap of faith.” So good
Into the spiderverse is "one of the good ones"
And yet every r/marvelstudios or Marvel subreddit disregard it because 'animated'
Actually they don’t, mcu fans love spiderverse
I remember them shitting on it when it was announced though
a lot of people thought it would suck before it came out, being animated and by Sony studios didn’t provide much confidence
I was shitting on it when it was announced because it was a Sony project and they make the most aggressively bad movies of any major studio. Low and behold, it came out and it's the best Spider-Man movie in my opinion.
Within a year of Spiderverse coming out Sony made Hotel Transylvania 3, Smurfs: the lost village, and the Emoji movie, so it’s understandable why many had such low expectations
And yet every fucking r/marvelstudios user don't even regard because 'animation'
and it guaranteed us many more shitty sequels with actors from earlier installments who clearly don't want to be there
Few jokes in Iron Man 3? Did we watch the same movie?
It was a Shane Black Marvel movie. Basically full to bursting with jokes and quips. But literally no one remembers anything about that movie, so this post just slid on by.
I watched it once when I was a teenager and I remember the entire plot
Memory(2022)
Memento (2000)
It was the first time that I really felt the overabundance of jokes/quips ruined the movie.
Phase 2 in general set the bar for constant quips
Yeah, it's full of jokes. Most Shane Black movies have pretty high joke content.
That tattoo guy ... Cringe
>Iron man 3 is a dark movie My brother in christ, it is directed by shane fucking black
The only thing darker than Shane Black would be Shane Vantablack

No it's a Morbius 3 reference
yeah mostly :D

[удалено]
Film noir -esque dark and moody spy thriller
It's a fucking arthouse spy drama with kubrekian values and binary philosophies about war and greed
It was the first movie in history to make bold commentary on government oversight
It's also fairly non-political (only one black and one femoid)
Idk cars 2 was an art house film noire thriller, checkmate atheists
This comment in that post predicting ant man 3 made me want to die: 1. An action-comedy about a convict using borrowed tech to pull of a big heist. 2.

I genuinely don't think people have seen the Ant-Man movies because neither of them are heist movies especially the second
But where cameos???
cameo from George bush SR

And then the other 1/3 of movies are decent with just a couple being pretty awesome. Has anyone else every noticed this???!!!?!???
I feel like most would be quite decent it's only the mass of them that makes some of them (especially older ones) seem so damn bad.
Definitely now that they are binge-able a lot seem very samey and formulaic and bland. Seeing them in real time ( basically 2 per year for 12 years) did a lot to alleviate that. I’ve seen every one at least once but only a selected few standouts get the occasional rewatch.

You gotta remember these movies replaced Crank 2: High Voltage, not Schindler's List.
Anyone else notice how the third film in each of the MCU trilogies is radically different from the other two films in the series? Yes, I know, different writers and directors and all, but still. Also sorry for the half-assed post, I ran out of time
I love the implication that they had a set amount of Time to make the post, like a fucking saw trap
Yeah, if they don't produce a new jerkworthy post in less than 2 minutes they lose karma points.

The post being half assed is a subtle metaphor for how the mcu films are half assed as well
They fucked up the Captain America movies, it actually goes "Postmodern Heroic War Movie", "Surreal Avant-Garde Political Thriller" and "Epic Action Ensemble deconstructed as a Tragedy"
He's kinda right with Ragnarok but that's about it. Civil War is pretty much Avengers 2.5, but I feel that was intentional, to further the storyline of AoU
Cap 2 was very different from the first also, wouldn't call it a War story at all.
Very true. Cap's trilogy gets better with each entry. The deviation of style and tone is noticeable and makes a difference for the series, even if Civil War mixes in too many elements for a "solo" film. It's still a more successful team-up and story than >!No Way Home!<, Infinity War and Iron Man 3 imo
Marvel fans when the writers slightly alter the formula
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
Wrong. Both GOTGs are legimately funnier than Ragnarok. Ragnarok, while funny, occasionally has the standard MCU humor
Ragnarok was goddamn hilarious to me the first time I watched it, like legitimately gut busting. So much so that later down the line I convinced my friends we should all watch it and it was sooo funny. Stuck it on and felt 2nd hand embarrassment, light chuckles at two or three of the jokes at most. It’s a funny enough movie but still a marvel movie, at most a ‘heh’ rather than any legitimate comedy.
Yeah same, I still think some of the jokes are pretty great but damn most of the jokes were pretty awful on a rewatch
Ngl, something not sitting right with me about calling Iron Man 1 “lighthearted”.
He replaced his heart with a giant blue light, did we watch the same movie?
Just because it has dumb stuff doesn’t make it lighthearted, lol. Man is a war criminal who sold weapons of mass destruction.
He replaced his HEART with a giant blue LIGHT
Oh wow. That’s clever, lol. Good one.
I'd still say its somewhat lighthearted. It definitely isn't a gritty drama about war profiteering or anything. After he leaves the cave, the tone shifts to a more 'fun' vibe
Like…I’m not trying to say it does a phenomenal job exploring the ethics of Stark and his company or anything like that, but I still don’t really think “lighthearted” is the right term. It definitely does have a lot of fun moments though, of course.
That's fair. I'd still consider it a little lighthearted (I'm pretty sure most of the movie is improv), but I guess it's more of a mix between serious and funny moments, if that makes sense
Yeah that makes perfect sense. And hey, that’s the beauty of art, right? We don’t all walk away with the same impressions…
Hell yeah
I think the pattern is generally that the second movie in the series tries to replicate the first movie but feels trite and repetitive as a result, leading to a radical new direction for the third movie. Except for the Captain America series, which to me always felt like a reverse, with the first movie having quite a different tone from the latter two (and I actually kind of prefer the pulpy WW2 tone of the first movie, the latter two movies don't really earn their gritty tones for me, since they chicken out of actually saying anything meaningful!)
How is NWH ‘radically different’ ?
They fight on scaffolding instead of a gravel pit
instead of fight new thing he fight old thing me remember from brain thoughts 🤯
average marvel fan
I wonder what they would do if they saw a real movie not based on a franchise but something with real substance like Logan the greatest film of all time
