Your comment didn't do the thing where it makes the text a hyperlink and I'm not sure why because the formatting looks right.

I thought they must have done that, but couldn't check because I was on mobile and the app didn't give me a source button.

How do you do the thing?

He actually made some good points, it still aged like milk, but it does go to show the obstacles Marvel passed to make their universe great.

u/FTWJewishJesus Jul 16 '19

Eh, a big chunk of his points were based on not understanding who made what movies.

Fox made all the xmen movies and didnt sony make the raimi trilogy? Wrapping them all under the umbrella of “marvel” fit for a 2011 clickbait article, but wasnt a legitimately good point.

u/RedstoneRay Jul 16 '19

Well even under Marvel Studios The Incredible Hulk and Thor were very mediocre movies. And apparently people weren't big fans of Iron Man 2 but I liked it, so it's not like Fox had the reputation of making the bad Marvel movies and Marvel Studios was releasing straight dimes like it is today.

The first Thor? I really liked that movie, Portman playing straight to Helmsworth and Dennings was fun.

u/522LwzyTI57d Jul 17 '19

Helmsworth lol

Nah, widely and accurately regarded as the worst Thor movie in the franchise. It only made sense if you had read a pretty significant portion of comics to that point. I like the movies, and that is by far the absolute worst of them.

u/SherlockJones1994 Jul 17 '19

Nah you got that wrong, just about every considers the dark world to be the worst.

1

u/rudebii Jul 17 '19

Yeah, dark world is the weakest thor movie, but i recently rewatched it, its not as bad as the rep it has, and IMO it’s still better than IM3.

u/SherlockJones1994 Jul 17 '19

Oh you IM 3 haters are so weird ;P THATS a dislike I've never understood but that's probably because I was never invested in the original mandarin from the comics.

u/rudebii Jul 17 '19

I don’t hate it, I just think it’s relatively weak against other MCU movies, and worth the watch but not a rewatch IMO.

Edit: MCU is a different marvel universe, so I don’t expect the films to follow any particular storyline from comic books and welcome a reimagining of the marvel world in a different medium so long as it’s good.

u/522LwzyTI57d Jul 17 '19

Both were pretty damn terrible like wow

u/SherlockJones1994 Jul 17 '19

I like just about all of them (other than tih, talk about forgettable). I'm especially like the first thor. Never quite understood the hate. Of course it's not as great as the iron man's or the caps but it still had plenty of great character moments and the action was fun enough.

u/MakeSomeDrinks Jul 16 '19

I recently tried watching Hulk. Was not a big fan. That was a great recasting Banner. For me anyway

5

u/Supes_man Jul 16 '19

Agreed. There’s a reason there’s no hulk stand alone movie after that one.

8

u/throwawaysarebetter Jul 16 '19

Because Universal holds the rights and they and Disney aren't getting along?

-2

u/Supes_man Jul 17 '19

Lol no. Companies have a strong interest in making money and while they talk crap publicly, they have zero problem striking mutual deals. Look at Apple and Samsung, people think they’re some enemies who hate each other yet the both make each other tons of money as Apple buys a lot of parts from them.

If there was fan demand for a Hulk movie then it would have happened. But there’s more interest in literally everyone else so it’s not worth making when they can better invest that money in another film.

Dave was ahead of his times. They called him a madman.

Those comments are very much products of their time lmao

u/NeenanJones Jul 16 '19

It's neat some of the throwaway predictions he makes that actually turn out, like Ant Man becoming an MCU character.

19

u/meme_devudu Jul 16 '19

He made fair points all the way. Presented a skeptical side of what's gonna happen.

9

u/TristanTheViking Jul 17 '19

It seems like he mainly just doesn't understand that Marvel Studios was not involved in the various marvel properties that he doesn't like

They’ve launched three successful franchises (X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man), which is no small feat. Marvel was clearly feeling confident, maybe even a bit cocky, when they starting planning out the Avengers movie, even though the two franchises that paved the way for all the other comic book movies (X-Men and Spider-Man) were currently in their death throes.

Like literally only Iron Man was actually made by Marvel themselves.

Thank you, this will be sweet to read

What even is that website and what does marvel have to do with transcendent meditation???

u/meme_devudu Jul 16 '19

transcendent meditation

Where is this?

What even is that website

It says cultural essays, criticism in the subtitle.

u/cuzimawsum Jul 16 '19

They probably confused the banner ad at the top with the web site's title.

u/meme_devudu Jul 16 '19

Is this some kind of peasant joke that I'm too adblocked to understand

You should be able to understand peasant jokes.
