Like Captain Marvel is devalued by how unremarkable it appears to be

If it was fucking awful it would at least hold some level of schadenfreude-soaked entertainment, but by almost all accounts it is painfully mediocre and dull

It appears to be forgettable which is worse than being bad

lol I said the same thing earlier in another server

bad movies can be fun, okay movies are just okay

There's a certain amount of smug radiation you can get from it in the sense that all that promotion was for naught

But there's 0 reason to ever see it, which is sort of the best kind of failure from a "watching something die" perspective

that smugness is beaten out by the effort of closing sponsored posts from Marvel every 20 seconds on facebook

Found the problem

I'm going to watch it eventually for completion sake just like I'll eventually watch Inhumans and finish Runaways

*The Room* is probably a worse movie compared to *Captain Marvel* but more people want to see *The Room*

*The Room* has a legacy. *Captain Marvel* won't...at least if it does, it'll be added to the legacy that feminism ruins everything

I wonder if it does do mediocre as it most likely will, what does that mean for sequel plans

I've pretty much stopped watching comic book movies

will Disney bother if it only just makes it's money back, especially if it hurts the brand

Nothing. Mediocrity didn't stop Captain America or Thor

those were fine movies

They really weren't. They were incredibly boring, formulaic movies

for you

Thor had a follow up that was even more boring than the first

Dark World I get it was rather bland, Marvel hadn't really found their voice at that point

the early movies played it safe

MCU is primarily held up by a handful of movies, one of which is over 10 years old now

And that was still quite formulaic

being formulaic isn't much of a criticism though

It's maybe the most blatant attempt at a money printer in modern film

It means I can predict everything that will happen in your movie

the hero's journey is standard for a reason

Thus reducing the necessity of viewing

I wonder if you've seen the more recent stuff

Last ones I saw were Thor Ragnarok and Guardians 2

They were okay

Guardians feels like it's already being constricted by the film format. Thor 3 is like, bits of planet hulk and guardians smushed in when I'd really much rather just get Planet Hulk (seriously, there's been no new attempt at Hulk standalone content)

Hulk is in a weird situation rights wise

Marvel own the licence but universal own distribution

on solo stuff

so they split a Hulk story between multiple movies

Age of Ultron, Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame

Yeah, Hulk is currently on a little arc throughout all the recent movies

honestly Planet Hulk wouldn't really work well within the MCU

it'd essentially be an entirely CGI movie
