I'm sure they are there, but if/when I see them they don't mean anything to me. It's even that the same things which make these films special for you are the things that sometimes make them over-inflated and dull for me. The big films seem to have got longer and longer as they have to go over so much stuff and fit it all together or introduce yet another character, and while you're hanging off every word I'm zoning out and wishing they'd just get on with it.JRPC wrote:Now I'm not trying to say that anybody here isn't "cleaver enough" to get Captain America or anything like that, but there are things in some of these films I consider to be proper bloody brilliant and either those things aren't really there or some people just aren't seeing them.

The casual viewer isn't going to pick up on the fact that blue macguffin from Captain America which they saw 6 years ago is the same type of macguffin as Yellow Macguffin in Avengers 2 and a blue space baddie has a magic glove and wants all the mcguffins for himself. Edit:- I couldnt decide how to spell McGuffin there so went for a scattershot approach.
This is on the nose. I'm more familiar with a lot of the characters than many viewers, but I've read very few of the comics or graphic novels. I was totally unaware that infinity stones had been featuring in the films for so long. Even being told that, I can't think of what part they've played in any of the films. If we're supposed to have noticed and retained this information, they've done a fuck-awful job of it.
I doubt the kids in the audience have picked up on it, either.

Yeah, I remember liking that.Childintime wrote:There's a small group of us here that really like Ang Lee's The Hulk, I think.

It always surprises me that it's part of phase 1 and came out after Iron Man 1. Feels like it was about 5 years before.JRPC wrote:A million times better than Incredible Hulk though.
That was dreadful.
I forget it's even part of the cannon at this point.

It was all uniformly dire, featuring slow mo, superjesus, over acting and DARKNESS.
I think I might have to watch it all now.
Yeah, plus there's just so many of them now it's hard for it to feel fresh anymore.g.man wrote:I remember liking Ang's Hulk too. I've enjoyed a fair few Marvel films. Wasn't really until they started tying them all together that the quality started nosediving imo.

Unfortunately Zack Snyder is directing the Justice League movie as well, so we know that will tank. You'd have thought after the critical panning of BvS and Suicide Squad that DC and the associated studio would have learnt their lessons, somehow I doubt it. The director for wonder woman doesnt have much of a track record either.
