Like people complain about how the MCU becomes impenetrable and yet also tediously rote, with anything resembling style and interesting themes sanded down into machine output, but that seems to be what the most vocal fans actively want.

If Thanos had just read some comic books, maybe he would have looked for the terribly named “mother boxes” instead. Clearly he didn’t do his due diligence.

It's hard to categorize "Marvel Fans" as anything because they are a group of literally millions of people, all of which have various reasons for liking the movies. I'm sure a dedicated anthropologist could group them into specific demographics but what would be the point?

Marvel fans are defined as people who see an announcement of an Easter egg in an upcoming film that will hint that [actor] will play "Angar The Screamer" in a Disney+ series. They then google "Angar The Screamer", & read his 'character bio', & say they're extremely hyped to finally see the classic character Angar The Screamer in live action. (Angar The Screamer is a hippie who screams at people.)

I thought Angar was a Blorko thing but no, Angar the Screamer is a real comic book character and is just a less extreme Black Bolt or something. Blorko would kick his rear end though

He cut the already dwindling whale population in half and whales are incredibly slow breeders. In five years they wouldn't have even been able to achieve immediate pre-snap numbers even if half of everything coincidentally included all the fishing/whaling industry and none of the krill.

Sure it's dumb. It's supposed to be dumb. Steve sees Nat driving herself to death trying to be "The Avenger" so he'd like to find something to help her get to a place where she can ease up on herself a little instead of trying to problem-solve earthquakes under the ocean. He's not saying "Thanos was right." He's saying "Maybe it'll be okay eventually after all. Maybe we need to accept this and try to move on, as drat near impossible as that seems to be."

I'm pretty sure the majority of MCU fans are people who see a new trailer and go "that looks like it'll be a fun movie I can watch with friends as an excuse to go out" and enjoys the fact that each movie generally acknowledges previous stuff in small ways and includes obvious foreshadowing of future stuff while being dumb fun. I don't imagine the majority of people who see MCU films particularly care about the comics or Easter egg videos on YouTube; never mind have enough investment to lie to themselves or others about their knowledge of them in some way. It's more likely the majority Google "who was X in the post credits scene of Y" once, click one result on the first page, skim the resulting article and go "sounds good/bad" and stop thinking about it there. Everyone posted:Sure it's dumb. It's supposed to be dumb.

I enjoyed Endgame for the most part, and don't really have a problem with Thanos having kind of a dumb plan, since (a) comic books and (b) him being deluded about his plan because of his ego and past is part of the whole thing but I found it much more annoying that Steve's "things move on" is almost immediately undercut by "wait...let's just use comic book magitech to undo our mistakes and make everything just like we want it to be". It's a terrible theme that shits on some stuff in the MCU, including stuff in Endgame itself. tsob fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jun 22, 2022 |

Angar the Screamer already appeared in the first season of Agents of SHIELD. I’m surprised more people don’t remember how it touched off 2014’s “Summer of Angar the Screamer.”

live with fruit posted:Steve doesn't really mean it. Nat tells him to STFU and he apologizes. He then immediately says that they don't move on. They should though; accepting the past, learning from it, maybe even avenge it and then moving on is a lot more applicable as a theme than "nah, gently caress it; let's just use magic to undo it". Which is why a lot of stories, including ones in the MCU have used similar themes. Acceptance of past mistakes and using them as a basis to move forward often forms the basis of a hero's origin. It's also generally more interesting as a story. Of course, that requires not hinging your film duology on killing off huge numbers of characters you want to use again in future.
