True, It's already the best film in the franchise.

If only by default. I mean, have you seen Iron Man 1 lately? The movie is really kind of dull. The stakes are impressively low.

Man, i still love IM1. I think the low stakes were good for the longterm narrative arc of the MCU. Bridges' Obadiah Stane was great.

The most important stakes in IM1 are whether he's gonna get blasted again by the fire extinguishing robot and whether it seems like he's having fun designing and testing the fancy suit.

Probably would've been thematically better if that terrorist guy was able to recreate the original suit and go on a rampage in the Middle East so Tony has to stop him, instead of Bridges boiling his head or whatever. But mostly because I would've liked to see the Dude as a recurring side character in other movies just going whoa man at all the crazy incidents.

Speaking of the only Shane Black MCU movie, arguably making it the best one on that fact alone:

Shane Black posted:

The reason (Marvel is) scoring so big at the box office is they have these mythic caped heroes come striding out of the fog, lit from below and backlit. And then they stub their toe! They remember to do that part. Even with the latest one Captain America: Civil War, The Winter Soldier is brutalized and tortured. But then there’s this scene where he’s in the back of a car (chuckles) and he’s just nudging his buddy, ’cause Cap’s kissing a girl. They know to do that…they know to go straight to that kind of a choice. Those decisions are made routinely there.

His bit on China is interesting.

And the machine was always there looking over your shoulder.

And finally, Joss was like, ‘Look, just trust the machine. I mean, you can’t keep control of every moving part... just let go and let the machine take on part of the work."

The only thing that directly contradicted the comics was them flying around in spaceships. They could always just say they weren't using the Nova Force for some vague reason.

Speaking of space stuff, Bryan Singer has said that in addition to the 90's thing the next X-movie will involve their space stuff.

Apparently, he's in the "idea" stage of X-Force, and Simon Kinsberg is writing it.

quote:

While Singer was careful to note that he's currently only involved at the idea level, he did confirm that X-Force "is in the earliest script stage" at the hands of X-producer Simon Kinberg, adding, "so that’s kind of where that stands, and we’ll see how it evolves."

Fox is in desperate need for some fresh blood. We've seen what this duo can bring to the franchise, and its something that should have been left behind long ago.

Also in the article

quote:

Singer confirmed that he's discussed with the studio what will happen with Wolverine after Hugh Jackman retires the claws for good, and even suggested featuring Logan's female clone X-23 in Fox's X-Force film. "I actually initially pitched the X-Force and the female," he said.

:stare: I am filled with equal parts excitement for the possibility of X-23 in the X-Men films, and dread for seeing how Singer messes this up.

Also "the female", really?

That's where I arrived. Like I wanted to say Thor 2, but I know drat well I'll never watch that again unless my life is on the line in some kind of Saw situation. I don't remember hardly anything happening in that movie. It wasn't bad, it was just nothing. Like drinking a glass of room temperature water.

Thor 1 was slightly less balls than Thor 2.
That is my opinion. Please note that I also think Incredible Hulk was one of the better Marvel films.

Iron Man 1 is dope. Iron Man 3 isn't even as good as Iron Man 2. Low stakes are a good thing.

Both Thor movies are pretty drat bad, which is a shame because they nailed the casting.

Glory to Mankind.

Iron Man 1 is a perfect Superhero Movie. Like in the sense of it being about a man punching Men Who Are Bad, it holds up in a way that X-Men and Spider-Man just don't. It's a really great film if what you want is superheroes being some superhero-rear end superheroes.

Thor doesn't get nearly enough love, in my opinion. I love that it's basically a tragedy with Loki as the doomed hero, succeeding in stopping Thor from becoming the destructive, warmongering king of Asgard, only to consequently become exactly that himself.

THR has the scoop: WB is launching a seemingly Marvel Studios-esque DC Films division with Geoff Johns and current WB exec Jon Berg in charge. No prizes for guessing what prompted this.
