I like how it's going unquestioned that all the marvel movies are good or of the same quality just because Josh and drew have said so.
Iron man 2 and 3 aren't that great. The hulk movies, aren't that great. Thor 1 isn't that great. Captain America is objectively bad. The second half of Logan is bad. Half of the xmen movies are bad.
What even is this bonged out shIt I'm reading?
But worst of all, even at its best, this stuff is all mostly garbage or action porn. They're as forgettable as that set of tuts in the third row of a boo Google search.
They're just eye candy, and no one should be proud of them being the main course for movie going for almost a decade.
What do Logan or X-Men have to do with Disney's MCU?

I'll chime in. Most of the ones I've seen were mediocre. The exceptions have been original Avengers and original Guardians. But I've not seen all of them.Quote:

You can't really convince someone they have bad taste.Quote:

Thats not a streak though. 25 to 50% of them aren't very good even when judged by the low standards we judge action movies.Quote:

Iron Man remains the best of them because it took a property that NO ONE cared about and made it cool (owing entirely to RDj). But even that had its problems.
edit: it is a streak to Drew.
I have, I just don't think I've been vocal about it here. Mainly it's my friends asking me to go see some superhero movie with them and then hating it. Iron Man 2 was pretty damned bad to the point where I wanted to leave - but I didn't drive to the theater. But they all suffer from the "incredible danger with no consequences" thing.Quote:

Anyway, I can't get excited about this young Han Solo thing but I'll probably see it... perhaps not in the theaters. My wife, on the other hand, openly hates it.
Me: "Don't you want to see Han win the Falcon from Lando?"
Her: "NO. I know it happened and that's good enough for me!" (strangling me at the same time)
