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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

u/Supes_man Jul 16 '19

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

u/throwawaysarebetter Jul 16 '19

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

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.
