Mordiceius posted:So is it bad that I can admit that DCU films are generally more skillfully made, but I just don't like them as much as MCU films? This is a weird thing to even think about, much less feel bad about. Like what you like. Despite what you seem to have gleaned from here, there's nothing really wrong with the MCU movies. They're not facile, homogeneous, or artless, they're just different, both from the DCU and from each other. Even the worst of them has something to recommend it. Who cares what you like? Are you worried Cinema Discusso bullies are going to beat you up and steal your lunch money?

Vintersorg posted:I haven't seen this kind of vitriol before, either here or on various sites. People hated Amazing Spiderman 2 and Fantastic Four, those were just expected to be reviewed badly so it was more of a given than a surprise (and F4 didn't have the same ad penetration). BvS not so much. The vitriol from the whiniest posters isn't any different than it was for MoS, or in the opposite direction for Thor 2, Avengers 2, etc. There's always a tiny group of folks who like to dance in the schadenfreude of a troubled launch for major movie/product/game/etc, especially if the excitement is high.

Thor 2 is an enjoyable way to fill a couple hours. There's nothing in it aside from Selvig's horribly offensive subplot that outright offends me and seems wrong and the action is good enough. Loki is the most interesting think going on and Iike seeing Natalie Portman gush about SCIENCE!! It's like a mid-season episode of a decent Saturday Morning cartoon.

Thor 2 has peak Kat Dennings which pushes it way past what I can tolerate.

Thor 2 is terrible - it's TV movie bad. Hell, Thor 1 wasn't even that good - I think I only really enjoyed the poo poo with him learning about Earth. But aside from that everything else was forgettable. Hiddleston camps it the gently caress up and is probably the only good take away from it all.Rhyno posted:I mean, i think the Wolverine is a pretty good flick so my opinion is worth fuckall so keep that in mind. The Wolverine is actually decent - I was totally surprised and loved everything about it - the goddamn ninjas getting fed into a mulcher just sealed the deal.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Question: Why do all the big universe changing events happen in Cap's films? Cap 1 introduced the completed Avengers, the Tesseract, and Infinity stones and Cap 2 was mentioned above. Real talk it's because Captain America can't carry a film the way Iron Man or Thor can, they need the extra MCU stuff in there.

I'm still not sold on Hemsworth in the role, or in the character at all since I was never really a fan of the comic version of the character and the Thor standalone films totally failed to get me invested in the character. His character arc was pretty much "Start out as a mild jerk, learn to accept responsibility and thus becomes less of a jerk" which doesn't really cut it.

Thor doesn't learn how to accept responsibility, he learns humility. In fact, by the time Thor 2 rolls around, Thor actively refuses his responsibilities as the heir of Asgard. EDIT: Also, Thor isn't the hero of Thor. Loki is. Phylodox fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Hemsworth is really great in the role of Thor, he's got a good mix of royalty and smug frat boy in his performance.
