Is it okay to admit that First Class was the only good x-men film and the rest of them have been alright B-movies to just a bit poo poo? Like- X1 and X2 really, really don't hold up well.

X1 is nostalgia, X2 actually rules

Does it though? Like- 'here is a heavy handed metaphor about being a gay teenager, and also a few fights in moody, underlit corridors.' Don't get me wrong, seeing the shimmery phoenix under the water at the end was like seeing a helicarrier in the avengers for the first time in a way but much, much less impactful. Actually no, it was more like seeing RDJ at the end of the hulk movie with Ed Norton.

I mean, I guess at the time we were probably all welp this is as good as it's ever gonna get but...

Empire Magazine has given it 4/5.
Guardian gives it a 3/5
Screencrush has given it a 3/10.
Indiewire gives it a D-, citing pretty oppressive sexism throughout (Deadshot misses his daughter, someone elses misses their wife, someone else misses their girlfriend and Enchantress seems to have 'wandered out of a porn parody.')

So why not just make a Deadshot movie? Sorta like how Civil War was Cap 3 ft. The Avengers. Deadshot ft. The Suicide Squad would've helped out a lot, I think.

Because the way you make Avengers box office is by throwing everyone together in a team. Just skip to that bit, watch the money come rolling in :downsgun:

The biggest problem was that apart from the Inception powers, the villains were pretty uninteresting.
Also, Benedict's American accent was a bit fishy. I'd rather he was a British doctor who just happened to be working in America.

Writing a book with a female lead that had a cover that had said lead wearing a shirt that said "Ask me about my feminist agenda" as far as I can tell.

I like that Mockingbird was a pretty strongly feminist book throughout but it wasn't until it was literally labelled as such by the cover that it became a problem.

I also dig that the whole SJW COMICS DONT SELL arguement is based on this book ignores how this book was scheduled to be a limited run to begin with.

Mockingbird was loving great. Issue 1's cover is like a wonderful James Bond poster.

Was that series considered not great? after watching all of those, I find it my least favorite. DD s1 and JJ were pretty fun, DD S2 was pretty good, except for Matt being a total rear end to Foggy and Karen. But LC had some of the worst Villians, Cottonmouth was okay, Mariah seemed to luck into everything in an unsatisfying way, and Diamondback was awful. It just felt like there was a lot of lost potential.

I liked Luke Cage right up until the last 2 episodes. :(

GoT tends to advance the plot significantly when one of its dozens of characters dies, and that's why it's watchable. WD kills people in emotionally manipulative ways for bullshit reasons and it's why I stopped reading the comic or watching the show years ago. Daredevil has a cast of, like, eight people, and they killed one of their best. They also killed Elektra but we knew that was coming and besides that she was aggressively unlikable.

okay cool how much of that relates to its popularity (protip : daredevil aint poo poo next to GOT but whatever cool post)
