When Tony Stark snapped his fingers and said “ I am Iron man “ and died Marvel’s problems began. They can fix it but can’t do it with non action movies and clueless writers
Thank you for your honest review… I understand the whole Superhero tiredness vibe it gets to be a little much. I’m curious however, what is your take on shows like The Boys or Invincible?
@@snarkyjay the bar was too low it was deep down under and the bar's ghost dropped and fell so hard, the ghost shattered when it hit face first on the core ground 👻
This movie felt like it was generated by an AI. There wasn't a single beat that didn't come across as a lesser version of something that had already been done before.
@@snarkyjayi was done after multiverse of madness. Im surprised that film didn't get the same level of hate as thor4. Dr Strange 2 basically killed my hype for the mcu going forward.
I was 17 when Iron Man came out so I feel you. I might not have grown up with Marvel, but they were the ones that brought my childhood to life. So to see what they’ve become is so depressing
I walked out of Doctor Strange 2. My son asked me multiple times to leave and I kept telling him "it will get better." Then the started fighting with musical notes and I said "it's not going to get better... let's go." I've been a Marvel fan since the 80s (yes, I'm GenX) so I really hope they turn things around.
I've been done since endgame, I saw the writing on the wall and I'm glad I deattached myself from it. I know some people had hope for it and my heart goes out to them.
@@davidm4566 My wife, and her 2 best friends broke out laughing in the theater when that happened. It was so out of place and cheesy. I knew what direction the MCU was going when they last second introduced Captain Marvel and trying to make her the ultimate badass who is stronger than Thanos.
Most this generation grew up watching marvel not reading it. So life long fans are still noobs for most part. Why you think marvel has been changing the actual comic history of the books for the last 5 years cuz the real fans are way back in the 90s and 80s. To make new fans happy and think they know wassup they just change comic lure to movie lure. They alienated there real fans no different then DC. It's all about money for them.
One thing I’ve noticed in the newer marvel movies is that the characters just don’t feel like autonomous beings-they’re just whatever the plot needs them to be. I loved marvel because I loved watching different personalities and different philosophies clash against each other and ultimately come together to save the day. The stakes were personal. You knew how much this meant to the character-what they would personally lose if they lost the fight. When every movie has an antagonist that is trying to take over the entire world-you know for a fact the antagonist is not going to win. If they did, there’d be no franchise left. Infinity War handled this well, but every movie since End Game has had “world-ending stakes,” and it’s just not threatening anymore. Personal stakes. Personal sacrifice. I love the first Antman movie because it’s personal to Scott. He’s just a normal guy that got swept up into this crazy adventure. We know he wants to redeem himself and that he wants to make his daughter happy and be a better father. I’m more on the edge of my seat about a police officer finding out Scott’s identity than I am about a Kang Variant destroying the world (in the first phase 5 movie). I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies a lot because they’re about the characters. It’s about these lone wolves wanting nothing more than a family deep down, finding a family, and then doing everything they can to look after each other. Yondu sacrificing himself for Peter was so touching. Nebula and Rocket finding common ground with each other. It’s grounded. It’s human. I can’t relate with characters who all think the same and have the same sense of humor and all want what’s best for the greater good-I relate with characters that have flaws and personal reasons for doing what they do even if it logically doesn’t make sense. (Peter shooting at Thanos in Infinity War was frustrating to watch, but it was vividly real. It was what any of us would do if our significant other had been killed by the man who raised her. Forget the greater good-this is personal). I’m not saying every character has to be morally gray-I just miss having characters that had their own motivations that we were able to discover as the movie went along. The Daredevil show does an incredible job of this too. Idk. It just feels so…manufactured now. Everything’s so contrived. :(
I think Civil War is the best example of what you’re saying. Seeing all these characters being divided over their ideologies on the Sokovia Accords and how to deal with Bucky created for such a compelling experience.
It's because they film tons of different scenes and then fit it in post production like a puzzle based on the market research. It's called the "scrapbox method", they do this with all newer Disney movies and shows.
Hi Snarky, it’s so annoying and gross when you have creeps saying for you to show your body and be revealing which is disgusting and I hate it too believe me I understand and I’m a guy. They should completely stop that behavior. No disrespect, but don’t you think certain characters like black widow and cat woman are sexualized in nature due to their unfortunate appearance and it would be wise to not wear those one to avoid those creeps. Just my advice. I do like the winter soldier, Wolverine, and captain America cosplay. You should probably do some street fighter character and dragon ball character cosplays, those outta be cool and good. Good day.
It's weird because I just turned 23 this year as well, went to see the first Iron Man movie in 08 with my Dad and I feel the exact same as you. Most of our generation who grew up with Marvel I think feel this way, something ended with Endgame and pretty much everything that's come since just feels hollow and very uninteresting.
It's crazy how dumb you people are. I'm gonna laugh so hard when the mcu starts connecting again and you guys will jump right back on the hype. I don't understand why you guys can't enjoy a movie. You have to literally watch for anything negative. I could go back and destroy the og marvel movies. We really got 3 ironman movies out of the first 7 movies. Where all 3 villains are just bad. With the big bad being Loki for the first avenger's movie. A character we literally had 2 movies before and basically always loses to Thor and becomes good. Wow so crazy and wild. Don't even get me started on phase 2.
I’m 22, so I’ve seen the MCU come up the same way. I think the social media side of things, just made it way too corny. They used to make some dope ass movies, nowadays Idk what to say 😂 they’re entertaining sometimes
@@austinglass1916 it's literally the same shit. There's basically 2 type of people. People like you guys who like to see the negative. She even said in these comment sections that she would rather complain about something then enjoy something. Then there's the other people who enjoy life and see the positive. So if you go into it with negative and with low expectations that's what you're gonna get. If you even enjoyed antman 2 for even 1 minute then you will like this.
@@sotorc1448 nah wtf are you smoking, I enjoy every marvel movie 🤷🏽♂️ been to everyone that’s dropped since the first GOTG. it’s just the modern era that’s different. didn’t even say anything negative dawg
I’ve gotten to the point where I enjoy watching videos hating on these movies way more than the movies, and I don’t worry about spoilers because they come pre-spoiled
I think we've just outgrown them. And since they simply cannot or will not mature... they leave us with little choice about the divorce or maybe a trial separation at the very least.
I don't think we've outgrown them. Go back and watch the older films that still hold up. Don't give these clowns a pass. They have regressed. The effort that the creative teams put into making masterfully weaved story across films isn't there. These guys don't have a plan. And it's obvious. They think they can make money based on brand alone. Screw that.
I agree with 99.9% of everything you said, except the part about the cat ears. Those are adorable. I can attest that the issue is not superhero fatigue, or age (I'm 55). These large productions (most of them, Andor being the recent exception) have forgotten about the most important part of storytelling, and that is "story". The MO these days is to confuse the mind with 3 second frames in rapid succession, and I can only assume they feel they can convince us how great it was with the hype. Perhaps it is just that we are "wising up" to the program. :) Thanks for being wise, Jay 🙏💜🙏
This is a pretty spot on analysis of the over-saturation of the Marvel Universe. We need better stories rather than trying to CGI dazzle us to death. The Ant Man/Wasp Quantumania take was also correct, although I didn’t walk out. The best parts were Rudd, Pfeiffer, Majors and O’Brian. There wasn’t enough for Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly to do, which wasted their talent in my opinion. There’s been a lot of fangirl fawning over Cassie (Kathryn Newton). It was good to see this character break out, and the actress did a good job, but the way the wrote some of her lines made her come across as a sanctimonious little brat on a couple of occasions. And the whole “You’re not at fault, you’re SO amazing” father/daughter pep talk felt forced and cliche.
The MCU lost me with Civil War. I mean that was the worst storyline ever in Marvel Comics and almost broke the company back in the 90s. And yet they when down that same road with the movies and look what we have now. Sorry to say but I left them and haven’t come back. And to be truthful my life is better for it.
Snarky Jay "I'm done with Marvel." Turns off the camera. Moments later... "Crap! Guardians is next up! I'm done after that!" LOL I agree 1000% with you on every point!
I don't agree... I had to thumbs down because she roasting Marvel movies. They teamed up with Disney so the deterioration was inevitable. The movie was not bad considering. Weaker than the first two but not worthy of walking out of. Captain Marvel Brie Larson was trash but not worthy of walking out of. Thor 4 was unwatchable but at least post credits were good. This was a rant about Ant-Man not being showcased enough and Cassie being a 25 year old Quantum Physicist now....for no apparent logical reason
I checked out after Loki, the MCU magic is gone. The creators and actors that made the Infinity Storyline a massive success are mostly now all gone so enjoy what was created.
I almost fell asleep during Wakanda Forever and Quantumania . I grew up reading comics so it was very exciting to see these characters brought to life , but some of that excitement is gone . I still enjoy Spider-man and have some excitement for The Fantastic Four and X-Men reboots
I walked out of Quantumania feeling nothing. It was the most nothing burger of a movie I had seen, and I used to be an Ant-Man apologist. I even really liked Ant-Man & the Wasp. After reviewing Mauler's video, it was laid out clear as day why I didn't like Quantumania. That was the last MCU movie I saw, and will likely remain the last MCU movie I see.
I was very afraid this might be ruined. Post-Endgame Marvel has been.... yeah. And like you I was a big Marvel film junkie. I really enjoyed the Ant-Man films. Part of me still wants to go catch this, even though I know it will make me sad...
@@snarkyjay Indeed. I used to ALWAYS greatly anticipate Marvel movies since Blade & X-Men waaaay back in the day. Then Fox decided to murder the X-Men franchise with Apocalypse & Dark Phoenix. Then Disney went ahead and did it to all the Marvel stuff after Endgame. I mean I kinda enjoyed Hawkeye. But the rest of the movies/shows?... Nope. And as adequate at best as Black Panther was and how the Marvel stuff has been since Endgame I haven't yet bothered with Wakanda Forever. Some small part of me still held out some tiny hope that Quantummania wouldn't be ruined even though the trailers and general direction of Marvel live action "entertainment" has been going would say otherwise. Maybe if I bother with Quantummania at all and go in with my expectations shattered into the gutter I won't totally despise it. In the thousands of movies I've seen in theaters in my life time I've only walked out of ONE movie. This might be almost like a challenge now...
@@joeseph4040 Was Endgame as good as Infinity War? Nope. Was Endgame drastically better than any of the shows/movies since? Absolutely. DC is very hit & miss for me. Disney Marvel is pretty much done. Maybe we'll still get some decent/ok Sony Marvel stuff?... I'm not holding my breath though on that one.
It’s simple. See movies take a while and fans grow older. When fans grow older, they aren’t as invested due to life’s responsibilities etc, it isn’t like the young days where you could just browse the internet, talk online and just waste time and not worry about responsibilities. Disney knows this. If you look at the demographic of those fans from hulk or Iron Man 1 days, those fans are now late 30s and close to 40s. If Disney wants more investment, they need to attract the younger crowd, the young teens that will still be fans well into the next 20 years. So how to do it? Do you cater to the older marvel fans or do things to interest the younger crowd? If you are a business man, you would now existing customers mean sh**, they will still be there but you need to grow your database and market share with new people. So this is why Disney caters to younger folks yet majority of the moaners online are the older generation, who wants the hit they felt the first time the avengers grouped or when Thanos won. Literally it has become the grandpas who go “things aren’t great now, it was better back in the day”. And to these fans, even a 7/10 isn’t good enough. Thank the internet as well as it gives them a voice. Unlike the real world where no one cares or hears what the older generation says.
My wife left the theatre after the first half (went back to my car to better spend her time on her iPhone) and I stuck through for the 2nd half but... don't care anymore and I share your sentiment. Khan was defeated by... something that felt insane (especially if he can't recall how many Avengers he has killed before) and the bonus scenes were... meh... Don't care and if Marvels 2 is the next thing, Marvel/Disney can go their own way. I don't "feel" it anymore, especially as it shows that Marvel is just pushing out these movies without any 'love' or passion anymore...
Here is the thing with comic books. If you really like them, there is no outgrowing them. You're never too old to read comic books. And no matter how much other people look weirdly at you or criticize you, you keep loving it and letting people GFT.
By the way, wanted to say if the MCU crashes and burns after this point, it's just straight up karma for Feige who literally went out of his way to do everything in his power to make sure every Marvel property that wasn't part of his universe failed and died. First it was preventing Dark Phoenix and New Mutants from being released, forcing constant delays and forcing reshoots onto Dark Phoenix. Then using New Mutants as a sacrificial lamb the first month movie theatres were allowed to reopen again in limited capacity just to test out the audience volume. Then outright Thanos snapping literally every Marvel TV series out of existence the moment Bob Iger gave him control over the Marvel TV department too.
My theory on why Marvel movies keep getting less and less interesting to watch is that it kind of mirrors the source material. I think that the main problem with the MCU is that great comic book writers and artists such as Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Frank Miller, John Romita Sr and Jr, Gil Kane, John Buscema and Jim Starlin haven't been part of the comic book production line for a long while now. And with few exceptions there hasn't been anything really great about the writers and artists who took their place. Marvel comic books nowadays sometimes look great yet, when it comes to story lines, they tend to be really bland. So, the main challenge is to go forward with no great comic book source material to lean on. And the fact that the MCU has turned into this giant money making machine actually makes me very pessimistic about the quality of their future projects. Peace.
Guardians 3 will probably be the last one I see in a theater. After that, I will be happy to wait for them on DIsney+. I did that with Wakanda Forever and I didn't feel like I missed anything by seeing it 3 months after release.
Bruh I fell asleep during my first viewing of that film...I had to watch it in two halves...but this movie is legitimately better...it has a real sci-fi tupe of feel...like youre reading a classic sci-fi book from the late 60's...of you grew up with thay kind of thing this movie is a bit charming as ling as you van get by all the plot holes galore... its pretty mid but I think reviewers are getting disheartened because a lot of them have been carrying Marvels water thinking theyd right the ship and now that phase five starts out with a middling offering theyre upset.... Snarky on the other hand was already looking for a reason to jump ship which is understandable TBH
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu It took me 3 viewing sessions to get through Wakanda Forever. Likewise, I almost fell asleep during Quantumania twice. It was like a bad, boring two-hour episode of Rick & Morty.
I've literally been over it since Infinity War. I have yet to see anything after that. I've been saying for years Thanos won. All of this other stuff is just a long nightmare he's having while he vibes on his farm. 🤣
I don’t like this movie either. I thought it was a OK film for me at first. But after a few days, I started to feel toxic after reviewing those stupid humour of the film. Paul Rudd and Michelle Pfeiffer are the MVPs of this film. They are the best part of this film. I used to like Evangeline Lily’s Wasp, but she was absolutely wasted just like Jonathan Majors’ Kang. Cassie looks like a silly teenager who screwed everything intense and emotional in this film. I also hate M.O.D.O.K’s MCU from a menacing villain into a stupid and comic-relief “avenger”. 😓😓
Ok so Idk why ppl are saying this I'm done with Marvel thing cause first off. No ur not lmao. Just like everyone else ur gonna keep watching. But the whole idea why ppl say it it stupid and doesnt add up. Like did we really just have debates over previous Marvel projects or did we say it sucked? Thor 2 sucked. Iron Man 2 and 3 sucked. Hell even the first Captain America and Thor were just meh... Marvel has always been hit or miss and its nothing new but to act like they have done nothing but lay eggs is total BS. Just a couple of years ago they gave us WandaVision Loki Falcon and the Winter Soldier and What If and they were all great shows. Hawkeye meh but thats 4 to 1 and you telling me cause they had 2 bads ones its welp screw them... A few bad movies but one great one welp screw them... Were ya saying that when Thor the Dark World came out? What about when they made Iron Man 3 a freakin Christmas movie in May lmao. My point is everyone just needs to chill and stop holding Marvel to this standard of perfection that they have actually never been. She even said herself its not the quality we're used to... Yes it is if you were being realistic. The quality has never been a gold star on every single outing and never will be. Some things are gonna be amazing. Some things are gonna make us scratch our heads but it has always been that way. LITERALLY lol
im the same age as you, actually turned 23 a few days ago, so we had the same experience growing up at the same time the mcu was rising and loving it, it was a great time (i never hated dc tho i just wanted them to get better too). and i feel the same as you it sucks seeing it fall apart and its not fatigue, its just been garbage product lately, they have been focusing on the wrong things and characters, and they are valuing quantity too much. I personally think the Disney plus shows are worthless, none of them were good or grabbed my interest, they just seem experimental, they only water down the mcu. and i completely agree on the point that they should have ended it while they were ahead instead of running it into the ground, its like your reading my mind, i thought i was crazy for feeling this way and thinking im the only one, i wanted it to end because i kinda saw this coming before phase 4. if they did that the mcu would have went down as one of the most legendary feats in all of film, and entertainment in general, but at this point people will remember it as "that thing that was kinda good once" actually if they keep going, at some point the mcu will be mostly garbage. if they went out on their high note they would have been goated. i guess its true that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villan lol. its a sad to see. great vid, good takes, great cosplay. and batman is also my favorite super hero. subscribed. also plz marry me
Don't divorce me. I need your money. I'm drowning in debt. Half of my movies I have to edit the international versions. And how dare you love batman. You gonna love when DC makes him lovers with Alfred. Come back to me. You have to see conclusion of phase 6. And although Kang lost to a few ants. It was a false version of him. Baby come back. We need viewers
It is fine if you are done with it. I went through the same thing with Star Wars. Aside from the Mandalorian and Bad batch, there is not a lot keeping me invested in.
@@Thedreamlandfire It isn't that. This is a matter of not being able to produce actually good stories. Most of their recent content is lacking in terms of good writing. Which is a problem with most of the DCEU movies
@@noneoftheabove4302 Out of their current line up, these are the shows that have better writing. If those shows begin to falter in quality, I will drop them too... and eventually leave the platform altogether. I have already done it with Netflix
@Boricua Dev what do you mean it's not that? Lucasfilm handed the license over to Disney and now you acting like they going produce a good star wars film, they scrapped star wars almost all the old material to go off of and it was from that moment star wars was ruined now they intentionally are making bad film and you think it's going get better have you even watched Boba Fett bro?
First time at your channel. Visited out of curiosity. Pleasantly surprised at your objectiveness and excellent communication skills. Snarky Jay is NO dummy. She's smart and articulate.
I'm glad to see young people calling Marvel out for sucking now too. After Thor 4 and BP2 I thought maybe I just wasn't the target demographic anymore. Marvel has been garbage for a while now and I think it's nostalgia that's still pumping those box office numbers to where they are but seriously...this shit is stupid.
@@Omegeddon Check what I wrote though. I said after Endgame, which means even before Endgame I felt they were doing well (though I did think Captain Marvel was kind of flat). I agree that it would be foolish to expect many films to ever be anything like the final film in a massive arc like the Infinity Saga, and that isn't what I expect. I just want good characters and good stories, and I think they've lost their footing on that front.
@@Omegeddon NWH is excellent, but I'd give that W to Sony. Loki turned the God of Mischief into a punchline, WandaVision had her enslave an entire town and then be told "they'll never know what you sacrificed for them" while the guy trying to free the town becomes the real Bad Guy. Shang Chi was okay. Moon Knight had the title character on screen in the entire series for a total of about eight minutes, and so much of the fighting happened entirely off screen. They weren't all total failures, but they hardly stack up to what Marvel was releasing just a few years prior.
I don't understand why Marvel has been making movies and shows that aren't good. Spiderman no way home was amazing but then you got the she hulk show. I really hope they can do better continuing on in the future.
I was done with Marvel when Disney + rolled in. The marvel/ Netflix shows were better than cw's arrowverse. Arrowverse suffers from all the usual crap that drags down cw shows. Then all the Netflix/Marvel shows got canned. Afterwards i didn't give one iota about Marvel. Now that the Marvel cinematic universe is the M She U.. universe. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
I've been done since Endgame. The only thing I'm interested now in Marvel is any of their supernatural characters. Werewolf by Night was fantastic and I'm looking forward to Blade and hopefully Ghost Rider eventually
It’s not super hero fatigue, the movies just don’t hold up as well as they did earlier script wise. I think I see some improvements, but something weird is definitely going on behind the scenes. I think they are kind of just phoning it in a bit. Thinking “hey, let’s just see if we can milk it for a while now without as much effort to make some money”. Which I mean, is their right, it’s just a weird way to run your business because it will throw it in a grave. My (not much thought put into) hope is that they have been polishing and refining maybe their “Go big or go home” movies while they throw this stuff out in the meantime. If you drop the ball with the avengers, i think that is kind of the “unofficially” end of the franchise right there (because of their current movie climate). The rest of the movies from that point forward will be considered “Disney Channel Original Movies”
Super Hero Fatigue is nothing more than people getting sick of the politics and not wanting to admit it out loud. I'd still be a fan if the movies were good. The movies are wholly unenjoyable for the inclusion and messages which dominate the narrative more than a good story and a good character. They used to sell the fantasy of Iron Man, now they sell the fantasy that women are infallible, stronger, smarter and better than men and that white people suck. They aren't even being subtle. Who wants to go to a movie and be insulted? What makes them think people will put up with it?
You are definitely more like the Baroness than Black Widow. You need to put a Cobra insignia on that uniform when channeling your inner Dark Snarky. Your criticisms perfectly illustrate what many people have experienced. There comes a time when you have to stop riding on the great memories something gave you and be willing to walk away when it becomes mediocre.
I honestly tried to watch Wandavision and only got through 2 episodes. I watched Falcon and Winter Soldier and kept asking myself why I'm continuing as I wasn't enjoying it. I watched 15 min of Loki and gave up. I enjoyed Spiderman No Way Home but that was about it for Phase 4. I have zero expectations moving forward for Phase 5 and I tried to watch a pirated copy of Quantumania and could not believe how bad it was. I'm done with the MCU. I collected the original Secret Wars series in the 80's and know that Feige and his people will butcher this. I have zero faith anymore and just won't put myself through this. The magic is gone. The writing is sub-par and it's just not fun anymore. I miss what the MCU was.
I grew up on marvel and DC. What they have done to both worlds is ridiculous they're literally destroying stories for the sake of their politics. They could have went on for decades making trillions by just following the timeline laid out in the comics. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I can appreciate your perspective, being introduced to MCU as a kid and now as an adult. For us old folks or at least this one, I still enjoy marvel movies and thought antman3 was solid
I pretty much had the same thoughts after "Eternals" but decided to see "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and that film was the final nail in the coffin for me and I have not seen any Marvel films ever since, and I am happy of my decision.
Venom 2 was the hottest of all that is garbage. Coming from someone who grew up with Spiderman/venom/carnage comics. I absolutely LOVED the carnage saga back in the day amd was over myself when they announced venom 2. The fact that they made it a pg-13 was such a let down. They butchered that character. They could've done so much with it, but chopping the balls off of it was it for me. There was so much source material for it, and hollywood just gutted it. 😢
@@rodriga1985 true. PG13 wasnt the issue, the issue was poor storytelling and a lackluster story to drive any motives or depth. Venom was turned into a joke and carnage was just lame.
Kang is such an intricate and deep character in the comic books with an amazingly complex storyline, centered around love and redemption.... . The actor in the movie version is great, but the writing?.... a watered down version of the character, carrying over next to nothing from the comic book version. Why buy the rights if you're not going to use them? ......Such a pity.
Seinfield went out at the right time. If only the Simpsons would have stopped in the 90s it would be regarded as legendary instead of the show no one cares about anymore!
I was way more entertained by this than I was with Black Panther 2. I agree that it was super basic and didn't give me any hope for the future of Marvel but it definitely wasn't the worst MCU movie. This was better than BP2, Thor L&T and BW easily.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. This movie was absolutely entertaining. The main thing that everyone has been dunking on us the cgi, which was admittedly horrible in places in this movie. But at least this movie tried to do something different, and at least its villain was single-handedly better than all of phase 4’s villains combined.
When she said, "I won't give spoilers because I didn't finish it", and then went on the add she saw 1h20m ("about half") of it, my mouth dropped. 3 hrs???? On Ant-man??? I had never heard of this hero before recently and can promise you most people know him way, waaaaay less than Flash, who people know waaaaaaay less than Superman and Batman, who warrant 2 hours (or if combined in one film, 2.5 - 3). 3 hours of my time...on this is very disrespectful to audiences and shows they don't value creative storytelling or people's time.
I DIVORCED from Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios immediately after "Avengers: Endgame" back in March 2019. 4 years later and have zero regrets. Phases 1 - 3 is where you want to be as a Marvel Fan.
The problem is that Disney went woke! They exchanged original, realistic creativity with diversity, equity, inclusion and delusion. Disney got superhero fatigue, not the fans
Kinda disagree tho antmen qautmania did have low points overall it still give most fans what they wanted. Marvel knows they can't satisfied all the fans so they go for the majority. The CGI was better them most of phase 4 movies so I don't why people dislike it. Maybe its just because of modak cgi. The movie have a 83 audience score which is really good and mostly marvel did accomplish what they wanted.
The problem isn't that the audience grew up. The main problem is that they hired Rick and Morty writers, activists and allowed directors total freedom.... Most directors after Endgame are narcs...
So a lot of you just ‘walked out’ of the theater?? Yea ok 🤣 For one, it’s called the MCU. Many of you claim you’ve read the comics if so you know there’s a lot of stories they can go forever. You let people convince you not to like something, can’t take you serious if you follow others and you can’t make your own decision for your content.
Her father has a masters degree in electrical engineering (science minded DNA!) and Hank was working with her for years also so this isn't a very good point.
@@number1sun when people view things through a certain lens it's very easy to fall into the echo chamber. It doesn't hurt that it's easy views as well lol
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a very entertaining action comedy. I think the vfx, especially for one of the characters was part of the joke. The introduction of Kang was very good, and well acted. From what I see audiences are also enjoying the film. But I can also say I think you are spot on with Wakanda Forever and Love and Thunder.
bad VFX should never be intentionally used as a joke in a movie like this. I can only accept it in a movie like Free Guy, otherwise that’s just lazy and stupid
@@mystroceo I guess you should then go to the content creators I usually watch and let them know. They will appreciate your insight. Or is this is just a closed loop channel and new individuals shouldn't watch. In that case let the content creator know. Thanks!
I just stumbled upon ur channel!! GREAT REVIEW!! Excellent job in articulating OUR ( the masses) shared disappointment 😢!! Seeing as how mainstream media is bound to try and put a positive spin on this disaster!! BTW… I instantly liked and subscribed thanks to ur honest review! Awesome job! Keep up the excellent work my sister!😁👍🏾
New sub. Obsessed with pre-Endgame Marvel and now, I think they’re just pandering… Really bums me out. Love your analysis and honesty. Keep up the great work!
The footage of MODOK I've seen had me cringing, laughing, and scared all at once and that's usually not a good thing. Terrible CGI indeed. I know it's pretty much a rule to Feige that the MCU must be flooded with CGI to the point it looks like people standing in front of a video game half the time, but if there was one character where a practical constructed face should have happened, it was that character. As for what went wrong? Well that's simple. Kevin Feige no longer has Jon Favreau to tell him how to plan out a storyline nor Zack Snyder to steal ideas from to know how to map out said storyline. Also no, I'm not joking about either of those things.
And it's not mentioning that people say that Ant-Man 3 was a rip off of sharkboy And lavagirl (2005) because they talked about George Lopez's character Mr electric and I think Robert Rodriguez is a better director than the person who directed Ant-Man 3 But to me modok reminded me of the CGI Dwayne Johnson at the end of the mummy returns (2001) and I think Stephen sommers is a better director as well
I slowed after Black Widow. I stopped after Multiverse of Madness. I was kind of interested in this one, phase 4 experimental, phase 5 getting back on track. So hearing so many mixed reviews and now your bad one, I'm waiting for streaming again.
The movie needed Wanda, Namor, Doctor Doom or a Fantastic 4 tease to make it interesting. But honestly I still think this movie wasn't even that bad, definitely better than stuff like Thor The Dark World, Shang Chi or Iron Man 3 which I consider to be the worst of the worst.
The MCU just isn't the MCU without RDJ!
I used to disagree but…..
They also have a villian problem. Thanos kept us all interested and was thr best villian and build up. The villians now are a joke
When Tony Stark snapped his fingers and said “ I am Iron man “ and died Marvel’s problems began. They can fix it but can’t do it with non action movies and clueless writers
I feel sorry for my friends who saw it with me. They had low expectations and were still disappointed 😭.
Wow.
The bar was so low... and they dug underneath it. 😂
@@snarkyjayoh no. 😟
Thank you for your honest review… I understand the whole Superhero tiredness vibe it gets to be a little much. I’m curious however, what is your take on shows like The Boys or Invincible?
@@snarkyjay the bar was too low it was deep down under and the bar's ghost dropped and fell so hard, the ghost shattered when it hit face first on the core ground 👻
This movie felt like it was generated by an AI. There wasn't a single beat that didn't come across as a lesser version of something that had already been done before.
True that.
Because woke carbon-copy people are lesser versions of something we've already seen before.
@@snarkyjayi was done after multiverse of madness. Im surprised that film didn't get the same level of hate as thor4. Dr Strange 2 basically killed my hype for the mcu going forward.
Quantumania seemed like it was generated by AI that was hooked to the brain of a golden retriever.
K.E.V.I.N 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was 17 when Iron Man came out so I feel you. I might not have grown up with Marvel, but they were the ones that brought my childhood to life. So to see what they’ve become is so depressing
The GOOOooo from Antman 3 EXPLAINED ! !

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
I was 18 😢
The only thing I regret about NOT seeing Quantumania will be not getting all the jokes in the next "Honest-Trailer" and "Pitch-Meeting"
LMFAO I love that channel.
Honest trailer said she hulk wasn't as bad as people say. The honest trailer for she hulk was unfunny and kinda sucked because of that.
@@JamesHeller-if5kg How can an Honest Trailer be funny if the source material isn't funny by design?...That's NOT "honest"
Stream that garbage movie online for free..
Yep. Some Honest Trailer videos are way better than the movies themselves.
I walked out of Doctor Strange 2. My son asked me multiple times to leave and I kept telling him "it will get better." Then the started fighting with musical notes and I said "it's not going to get better... let's go." I've been a Marvel fan since the 80s (yes, I'm GenX) so I really hope they turn things around.
Then the fighting started w/musical notes...🤣🤣🤣. Funny as hell but so true.
That fight was stupid asf
I walked out of Doctor Strange 2 when they did Mr. Fantastic and Black Bolt DIRTY
I hated how little it felt like a Sam Raimi movie and just more disney schlock instead
MoM was alright? Not so bad that I'd walk out
I've been done since endgame, I saw the writing on the wall and I'm glad I deattached myself from it. I know some people had hope for it and my heart goes out to them.
same here, you could sense the fall for marvel coming
In the middle of a battle having all the girl characters somehow randomly meet up was the death nell for MCU in my opinion.
@@davidm4566 My wife, and her 2 best friends broke out laughing in the theater when that happened. It was so out of place and cheesy. I knew what direction the MCU was going when they last second introduced Captain Marvel and trying to make her the ultimate badass who is stronger than Thanos.
@@davidm4566 it wasn't even just that. Endgame captured the worst aspects of the MCU in one film. Such a disappointing mess.
You know Marvel is going a bad direction when a lifetime fan walks out...
Most this generation grew up watching marvel not reading it. So life long fans are still noobs for most part. Why you think marvel has been changing the actual comic history of the books for the last 5 years cuz the real fans are way back in the 90s and 80s. To make new fans happy and think they know wassup they just change comic lure to movie lure. They alienated there real fans no different then DC. It's all about money for them.
She aint a lifetime fan.
@@mrgatchalian47 you know what he means

DC watching Marvel fail
James Gunn : Take notes, write that down, dammit we cannot fail like Marvel. Cancel Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom💀😂”
One thing I’ve noticed in the newer marvel movies is that the characters just don’t feel like autonomous beings-they’re just whatever the plot needs them to be.
I loved marvel because I loved watching different personalities and different philosophies clash against each other and ultimately come together to save the day.
The stakes were personal. You knew how much this meant to the character-what they would personally lose if they lost the fight.
When every movie has an antagonist that is trying to take over the entire world-you know for a fact the antagonist is not going to win. If they did, there’d be no franchise left. Infinity War handled this well, but every movie since End Game has had “world-ending stakes,” and it’s just not threatening anymore.
Personal stakes. Personal sacrifice.
I love the first Antman movie because it’s personal to Scott. He’s just a normal guy that got swept up into this crazy adventure. We know he wants to redeem himself and that he wants to make his daughter happy and be a better father. I’m more on the edge of my seat about a police officer finding out Scott’s identity than I am about a Kang Variant destroying the world (in the first phase 5 movie).
I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies a lot because they’re about the characters. It’s about these lone wolves wanting nothing more than a family deep down, finding a family, and then doing everything they can to look after each other. Yondu sacrificing himself for Peter was so touching. Nebula and Rocket finding common ground with each other. It’s grounded. It’s human.
I can’t relate with characters who all think the same and have the same sense of humor and all want what’s best for the greater good-I relate with characters that have flaws and personal reasons for doing what they do even if it logically doesn’t make sense. (Peter shooting at Thanos in Infinity War was frustrating to watch, but it was vividly real. It was what any of us would do if our significant other had been killed by the man who raised her. Forget the greater good-this is personal).
I’m not saying every character has to be morally gray-I just miss having characters that had their own motivations that we were able to discover as the movie went along. The Daredevil show does an incredible job of this too.
Idk. It just feels so…manufactured now. Everything’s so contrived. :(
I think Civil War is the best example of what you’re saying. Seeing all these characters being divided over their ideologies on the Sokovia Accords and how to deal with Bucky created for such a compelling experience.
Well said my friend. I wholeheartedly agree. Marvel lost me after Endgame.
Very well said!
It's because they film tons of different scenes and then fit it in post production like a puzzle based on the market research. It's called the "scrapbox method", they do this with all newer Disney movies and shows.
Hi Snarky, it’s so annoying and gross when you have creeps saying for you to show your body and be revealing which is disgusting and I hate it too believe me I understand and I’m a guy. They should completely stop that behavior. No disrespect, but don’t you think certain characters like black widow and cat woman are sexualized in nature due to their unfortunate appearance and it would be wise to not wear those one to avoid those creeps. Just my advice. I do like the winter soldier, Wolverine, and captain America cosplay. You should probably do some street fighter character and dragon ball character cosplays, those outta be cool and good. Good day.
It's weird because I just turned 23 this year as well, went to see the first Iron Man movie in 08 with my Dad and I feel the exact same as you. Most of our generation who grew up with Marvel I think feel this way, something ended with Endgame and pretty much everything that's come since just feels hollow and very uninteresting.
It's crazy how dumb you people are. I'm gonna laugh so hard when the mcu starts connecting again and you guys will jump right back on the hype. I don't understand why you guys can't enjoy a movie. You have to literally watch for anything negative. I could go back and destroy the og marvel movies. We really got 3 ironman movies out of the first 7 movies. Where all 3 villains are just bad. With the big bad being Loki for the first avenger's movie. A character we literally had 2 movies before and basically always loses to Thor and becomes good. Wow so crazy and wild. Don't even get me started on phase 2.
I’m 22, so I’ve seen the MCU come up the same way. I think the social media side of things, just made it way too corny. They used to make some dope ass movies, nowadays Idk what to say 😂 they’re entertaining sometimes
@@austinglass1916 it's literally the same shit. There's basically 2 type of people. People like you guys who like to see the negative. She even said in these comment sections that she would rather complain about something then enjoy something. Then there's the other people who enjoy life and see the positive. So if you go into it with negative and with low expectations that's what you're gonna get. If you even enjoyed antman 2 for even 1 minute then you will like this.
@@sotorc1448 You miss the point entirely my friend.
@@sotorc1448 nah wtf are you smoking, I enjoy every marvel movie 🤷🏽♂️ been to everyone that’s dropped since the first GOTG. it’s just the modern era that’s different. didn’t even say anything negative dawg
I’ve gotten to the point where I enjoy watching videos hating on these movies way more than the movies, and I don’t worry about spoilers because they come pre-spoiled
Omg that’s me in a nutshell right now…
I don't know I think it's a little bit sad
Ditto, I watch dozens of hate reviews and that to me feels more like early marvel days than anything.
Seinfeld ending was perfect, all of them were assholes. I love the ending, it's self aware to the highest degree!
Yea as an adult now I just look at them as the worst human beings possible. Funniest fckn sitcom of all time
Never watched Seinfeld and don't intend to, either.
I think we've just outgrown them. And since they simply cannot or will not mature... they leave us with little choice about the divorce or maybe a trial separation at the very least.
That is a good theory, tbh.
As long as we can keep the cosplay costumes, I am fine with a divorce.
Nope.. as someone much older, I can say it's definitely not that.. run! Run far away!
I don't think we've outgrown them. Go back and watch the older films that still hold up. Don't give these clowns a pass. They have regressed. The effort that the creative teams put into making masterfully weaved story across films isn't there. These guys don't have a plan. And it's obvious. They think they can make money based on brand alone. Screw that.
Completely disagree. People never get tired of good storytelling. It's in our nature.
I agree with 99.9% of everything you said, except the part about the cat ears. Those are adorable. I can attest that the issue is not superhero fatigue, or age (I'm 55). These large productions (most of them, Andor being the recent exception) have forgotten about the most important part of storytelling, and that is "story". The MO these days is to confuse the mind with 3 second frames in rapid succession, and I can only assume they feel they can convince us how great it was with the hype. Perhaps it is just that we are "wising up" to the program. :) Thanks for being wise, Jay 🙏💜🙏
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!
You were soooo close... except you didn’t call the woke agenda bullshit out for what it is...
@@2ruthfox82 interesting, yes. They confuse the brain with rapid images which makes it easier to implant their agenda. Good point
This is a pretty spot on analysis of the over-saturation of the Marvel Universe. We need better stories rather than trying to CGI dazzle us to death.
The Ant Man/Wasp Quantumania take was also correct, although I didn’t walk out. The best parts were Rudd, Pfeiffer, Majors and O’Brian. There wasn’t enough for Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly to do, which wasted their talent in my opinion.
There’s been a lot of fangirl fawning over Cassie (Kathryn Newton). It was good to see this character break out, and the actress did a good job, but the way the wrote some of her lines made her come across as a sanctimonious little brat on a couple of occasions. And the whole “You’re not at fault, you’re SO amazing” father/daughter pep talk felt forced and cliche.
The hyper political diversity leech hiring has destroyed the franchise with work corporate values
@@bperez8656 Why, because they hired a woman to play Cassie? Gasp.
The daughter looked exactly like Amber Heard. It was disturbing
The MCU lost me with Civil War. I mean that was the worst storyline ever in Marvel Comics and almost broke the company back in the 90s. And yet they when down that same road with the movies and look what we have now. Sorry to say but I left them and haven’t come back. And to be truthful my life is better for it.
Snarky Jay "I'm done with Marvel." Turns off the camera. Moments later... "Crap! Guardians is next up! I'm done after that!" LOL I agree 1000% with you on every point!
LMFAO that’s the story of my life.
@@snarkyjay LMAO
@@snarkyjay Its very said to know James Gunn's final MCU movie will also be the last good MCU movie
@@I-speak-U-shut-it yea that's the spirit. Even the guardians 2 was extremely forgettable right. What the hell is wrong with you negative people.
I don't agree... I had to thumbs down because she roasting Marvel movies. They teamed up with Disney so the deterioration was inevitable. The movie was not bad considering. Weaker than the first two but not worthy of walking out of. Captain Marvel Brie Larson was trash but not worthy of walking out of. Thor 4 was unwatchable but at least post credits were good. This was a rant about Ant-Man not being showcased enough and Cassie being a 25 year old Quantum Physicist now....for no apparent logical reason
Finally, someone who has a real opinion and didn't shill this garbage. U get my sub
Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
we all came here for the same reason but i won’t allow that reason to cloud my judgement…the movie wasn’t that bad.
Thank you for saying that Age of Ultron sucked. You are quite correct in that view.
Yeah marvel movies always had bad ones in there
I checked out after Loki, the MCU magic is gone. The creators and actors that made the Infinity Storyline a massive success are mostly now all gone so enjoy what was created.
You're not wrong.
I divorced Marvel after Loki
I don’t blame you!
I almost fell asleep during Wakanda Forever and Quantumania . I grew up reading comics so it was very exciting to see these characters brought to life , but some of that excitement is gone . I still enjoy Spider-man and have some excitement for The Fantastic Four and X-Men reboots
I walked out of Quantumania feeling nothing. It was the most nothing burger of a movie I had seen, and I used to be an Ant-Man apologist. I even really liked Ant-Man & the Wasp.
After reviewing Mauler's video, it was laid out clear as day why I didn't like Quantumania. That was the last MCU movie I saw, and will likely remain the last MCU movie I see.
I was very afraid this might be ruined. Post-Endgame Marvel has been.... yeah.
And like you I was a big Marvel film junkie. I really enjoyed the Ant-Man films. Part of me still wants to go catch this, even though I know it will make me sad...
Yeah, it’s… a bummer and a half, tbh.
@@snarkyjay Indeed. I used to ALWAYS greatly anticipate Marvel movies since Blade & X-Men waaaay back in the day. Then Fox decided to murder the X-Men franchise with Apocalypse & Dark Phoenix. Then Disney went ahead and did it to all the Marvel stuff after Endgame. I mean I kinda enjoyed Hawkeye. But the rest of the movies/shows?... Nope.
And as adequate at best as Black Panther was and how the Marvel stuff has been since Endgame I haven't yet bothered with Wakanda Forever.
Some small part of me still held out some tiny hope that Quantummania wouldn't be ruined even though the trailers and general direction of Marvel live action "entertainment" has been going would say otherwise. Maybe if I bother with Quantummania at all and go in with my expectations shattered into the gutter I won't totally despise it. In the thousands of movies I've seen in theaters in my life time I've only walked out of ONE movie. This might be almost like a challenge now...
More like post Infinity War
@@joeseph4040 Was Endgame as good as Infinity War? Nope. Was Endgame drastically better than any of the shows/movies since? Absolutely.
DC is very hit & miss for me. Disney Marvel is pretty much done. Maybe we'll still get some decent/ok Sony Marvel stuff?... I'm not holding my breath though on that one.
To me its a middling movie so if your expectations are low then it'll exceed them but if they're really high youll probably be crushed lol
her: “I don’t wanna be left alone in the theater like a werido”
me who goes to the theaters alone: 😮
I never saw ANY movie in the MCU apart from Endgame. And that movie was watched in a nearly empty movie theatre.
Why is every Marvel movie starring a teenage girl who is smarter and better than all of the male superheroes who just saved the world?
It’s simple. See movies take a while and fans grow older. When fans grow older, they aren’t as invested due to life’s responsibilities etc, it isn’t like the young days where you could just browse the internet, talk online and just waste time and not worry about responsibilities. Disney knows this. If you look at the demographic of those fans from hulk or Iron Man 1 days, those fans are now late 30s and close to 40s.
If Disney wants more investment, they need to attract the younger crowd, the young teens that will still be fans well into the next 20 years.
So how to do it? Do you cater to the older marvel fans or do things to interest the younger crowd? If you are a business man, you would now existing customers mean sh**, they will still be there but you need to grow your database and market share with new people.
So this is why Disney caters to younger folks yet majority of the moaners online are the older generation, who wants the hit they felt the first time the avengers grouped or when Thanos won. Literally it has become the grandpas who go “things aren’t great now, it was better back in the day”.
And to these fans, even a 7/10 isn’t good enough. Thank the internet as well as it gives them a voice. Unlike the real world where no one cares or hears what the older generation says.
The MCU died with RDJ in Endgame pretty much
My wife left the theatre after the first half (went back to my car to better spend her time on her iPhone) and I stuck through for the 2nd half but... don't care anymore and I share your sentiment. Khan was defeated by... something that felt insane (especially if he can't recall how many Avengers he has killed before) and the bonus scenes were... meh... Don't care and if Marvels 2 is the next thing, Marvel/Disney can go their own way. I don't "feel" it anymore, especially as it shows that Marvel is just pushing out these movies without any 'love' or passion anymore...
True. There’s no passion anymore.
Here is the thing with comic books. If you really like them, there is no outgrowing them. You're never too old to read comic books. And no matter how much other people look weirdly at you or criticize you, you keep loving it and letting people GFT.
By the way, wanted to say if the MCU crashes and burns after this point, it's just straight up karma for Feige who literally went out of his way to do everything in his power to make sure every Marvel property that wasn't part of his universe failed and died.
First it was preventing Dark Phoenix and New Mutants from being released, forcing constant delays and forcing reshoots onto Dark Phoenix. Then using New Mutants as a sacrificial lamb the first month movie theatres were allowed to reopen again in limited capacity just to test out the audience volume.
Then outright Thanos snapping literally every Marvel TV series out of existence the moment Bob Iger gave him control over the Marvel TV department too.
My theory on why Marvel movies keep getting less and less interesting to watch is that it kind of mirrors the source material.
I think that the main problem with the MCU is that great comic book writers and artists such as Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Frank Miller, John Romita Sr and Jr, Gil Kane, John Buscema and Jim Starlin haven't been part of the comic book production line for a long while now.
And with few exceptions there hasn't been anything really great about the writers and artists who took their place.
Marvel comic books nowadays sometimes look great yet, when it comes to story lines, they tend to be really bland.
So, the main challenge is to go forward with no great comic book source material to lean on.
And the fact that the MCU has turned into this giant money making machine actually makes me very pessimistic about the quality of their future projects.
Peace.
Thank you for sharing your insights!
Guardians 3 will probably be the last one I see in a theater. After that, I will be happy to wait for them on DIsney+. I did that with Wakanda Forever and I didn't feel like I missed anything by seeing it 3 months after release.
Fair enough.
Bruh I fell asleep during my first viewing of that film...I had to watch it in two halves...but this movie is legitimately better...it has a real sci-fi tupe of feel...like youre reading a classic sci-fi book from the late 60's...of you grew up with thay kind of thing this movie is a bit charming as ling as you van get by all the plot holes galore... its pretty mid but I think reviewers are getting disheartened because a lot of them have been carrying Marvels water thinking theyd right the ship and now that phase five starts out with a middling offering theyre upset.... Snarky on the other hand was already looking for a reason to jump ship which is understandable TBH
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu Tickets are too expensive for “mid”.
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu It took me 3 viewing sessions to get through Wakanda Forever. Likewise, I almost fell asleep during Quantumania twice. It was like a bad, boring two-hour episode of Rick & Morty.
@@qmulus1 really? On tuesdays they’re $5 where I’m at
I've literally been over it since Infinity War. I have yet to see anything after that. I've been saying for years Thanos won. All of this other stuff is just a long nightmare he's having while he vibes on his farm. 🤣
LMFAO you’re so right.
In a nihilistic version of the MCU, Thanos kills all the Avengers, then destroys half of all life in the universe. The End.
I don’t like this movie either. I thought it was a OK film for me at first. But after a few days, I started to feel toxic after reviewing those stupid humour of the film.
Paul Rudd and Michelle Pfeiffer are the MVPs of this film. They are the best part of this film. I used to like Evangeline Lily’s Wasp, but she was absolutely wasted just like Jonathan Majors’ Kang. Cassie looks like a silly teenager who screwed everything intense and emotional in this film. I also hate M.O.D.O.K’s MCU from a menacing villain into a stupid and comic-relief “avenger”. 😓😓
Can't believe I went to the cinema to watch Kang killed MANY AVENGERS by his speech but was dominated by ANT ARMY 😂
That was one kang out of a billion
Dont worry he will be back
Black Adam was way better than the last 4 MCU movies
Ok so Idk why ppl are saying this I'm done with Marvel thing cause first off. No ur not lmao. Just like everyone else ur gonna keep watching. But the whole idea why ppl say it it stupid and doesnt add up. Like did we really just have debates over previous Marvel projects or did we say it sucked? Thor 2 sucked. Iron Man 2 and 3 sucked. Hell even the first Captain America and Thor were just meh... Marvel has always been hit or miss and its nothing new but to act like they have done nothing but lay eggs is total BS. Just a couple of years ago they gave us WandaVision Loki Falcon and the Winter Soldier and What If and they were all great shows. Hawkeye meh but thats 4 to 1 and you telling me cause they had 2 bads ones its welp screw them... A few bad movies but one great one welp screw them... Were ya saying that when Thor the Dark World came out? What about when they made Iron Man 3 a freakin Christmas movie in May lmao. My point is everyone just needs to chill and stop holding Marvel to this standard of perfection that they have actually never been. She even said herself its not the quality we're used to... Yes it is if you were being realistic. The quality has never been a gold star on every single outing and never will be. Some things are gonna be amazing. Some things are gonna make us scratch our heads but it has always been that way. LITERALLY lol
im the same age as you, actually turned 23 a few days ago, so we had the same experience growing up at the same time the mcu was rising and loving it, it was a great time (i never hated dc tho i just wanted them to get better too). and i feel the same as you it sucks seeing it fall apart and its not fatigue, its just been garbage product lately, they have been focusing on the wrong things and characters, and they are valuing quantity too much. I personally think the Disney plus shows are worthless, none of them were good or grabbed my interest, they just seem experimental, they only water down the mcu. and i completely agree on the point that they should have ended it while they were ahead instead of running it into the ground, its like your reading my mind, i thought i was crazy for feeling this way and thinking im the only one, i wanted it to end because i kinda saw this coming before phase 4. if they did that the mcu would have went down as one of the most legendary feats in all of film, and entertainment in general, but at this point people will remember it as "that thing that was kinda good once" actually if they keep going, at some point the mcu will be mostly garbage. if they went out on their high note they would have been goated. i guess its true that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villan lol. its a sad to see. great vid, good takes, great cosplay. and batman is also my favorite super hero. subscribed.
also plz marry me

you WALKED OUT! Yikes! Thats what happened with me on Wakanda, that was my last Marvel....great review!
Thanks so much for watching!
I'm glad to see young people calling Marvel out for sucking now too. After Thor 4 and BP2 I thought maybe I just wasn't the target demographic anymore. Marvel has been garbage for a while now and I think it's nostalgia that's still pumping those box office numbers to where they are but seriously...this shit is stupid.
FYI: Hollywood almost never, ever, ever, ever quits while it is ahead. Most things keep going long after jumping the shark.
It's weird. It seems like they just hit a wall after Endgame. Like someone flipped the "good storytelling" switch to the off position.
Right???
Its almost as if it took over a decade of buildup to get to the payoff of Endgame or something. Stop expecting everything to be endgame
@@Omegeddon Check what I wrote though. I said after Endgame, which means even before Endgame I felt they were doing well (though I did think Captain Marvel was kind of flat). I agree that it would be foolish to expect many films to ever be anything like the final film in a massive arc like the Infinity Saga, and that isn't what I expect. I just want good characters and good stories, and I think they've lost their footing on that front.
@@afterwit3620 NWH Loki Wandavision Shang Chi Moon Knight are right there
@@Omegeddon NWH is excellent, but I'd give that W to Sony. Loki turned the God of Mischief into a punchline, WandaVision had her enslave an entire town and then be told "they'll never know what you sacrificed for them" while the guy trying to free the town becomes the real Bad Guy. Shang Chi was okay. Moon Knight had the title character on screen in the entire series for a total of about eight minutes, and so much of the fighting happened entirely off screen. They weren't all total failures, but they hardly stack up to what Marvel was releasing just a few years prior.
I don't understand why Marvel has been making movies and shows that aren't good. Spiderman no way home was amazing but then you got the she hulk show. I really hope they can do better continuing on in the future.
Amen to that.

@@John01ization Yeah, I just hope that they will do better, One of my favorite shows they did was Loki
I was done with Marvel when Disney + rolled in. The marvel/ Netflix shows were better than cw's arrowverse. Arrowverse suffers from all the usual crap that drags down cw shows. Then all the Netflix/Marvel shows got canned.
Afterwards i didn't give one iota about Marvel. Now that the Marvel cinematic universe is the M She U.. universe. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
Ever since Stan Lee passed, Marvel has never been the same again. I’m gonna miss those days.
And thank you for saying what should’ve been said since Doctor Strange 2!
Thanks for watching!
I love it. I love newish fans who realize Disney is destroying something good. ❤🔥
I've been done since Endgame. The only thing I'm interested now in Marvel is any of their supernatural characters. Werewolf by Night was fantastic and I'm looking forward to Blade and hopefully Ghost Rider eventually
It’s not super hero fatigue. It’s garbage getting it’s comeuppance.
It’s not super hero fatigue, the movies just don’t hold up as well as they did earlier script wise. I think I see some improvements, but something weird is definitely going on behind the scenes.
I think they are kind of just phoning it in a bit. Thinking “hey, let’s just see if we can milk it for a while now without as much effort to make some money”. Which I mean, is their right, it’s just a weird way to run your business because it will throw it in a grave. My (not much thought put into) hope is that they have been polishing and refining maybe their “Go big or go home” movies while they throw this stuff out in the meantime. If you drop the ball with the avengers, i think that is kind of the “unofficially” end of the franchise right there (because of their current movie climate).
The rest of the movies from that point forward will be considered “Disney Channel Original Movies”
Wow! Guess I should *SHRINK* my expectations when seeing it this weekend
I see what you did there!
Lol...its a pretty middling movie...but I personally would recommend watching it once...some movies are high spectacle enough to see ONE time lol
I cANT believe you used that pun.
Noice!
Wakanda Forever was Dawg water.
Super Hero Fatigue is nothing more than people getting sick of the politics and not wanting to admit it out loud. I'd still be a fan if the movies were good. The movies are wholly unenjoyable for the inclusion and messages which dominate the narrative more than a good story and a good character. They used to sell the fantasy of Iron Man, now they sell the fantasy that women are infallible, stronger, smarter and better than men and that white people suck. They aren't even being subtle. Who wants to go to a movie and be insulted? What makes them think people will put up with it?
You are definitely more like the Baroness than Black Widow. You need to put a Cobra insignia on that uniform when channeling your inner Dark Snarky. Your criticisms perfectly illustrate what many people have experienced. There comes a time when you have to stop riding on the great memories something gave you and be willing to walk away when it becomes mediocre.
Thanks so much for watching!
Hello there hot black widow 😍🔥 lol. You're so right about it i have been hearing that it wasnt that good at all. Loving the channel! 🫶
Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel!
I was done with Marvel after No Way Home, worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
I honestly tried to watch Wandavision and only got through 2 episodes. I watched Falcon and Winter Soldier and kept asking myself why I'm continuing as I wasn't enjoying it. I watched 15 min of Loki and gave up. I enjoyed Spiderman No Way Home but that was about it for Phase 4. I have zero expectations moving forward for Phase 5 and I tried to watch a pirated copy of Quantumania and could not believe how bad it was. I'm done with the MCU. I collected the original Secret Wars series in the 80's and know that Feige and his people will butcher this. I have zero faith anymore and just won't put myself through this. The magic is gone. The writing is sub-par and it's just not fun anymore. I miss what the MCU was.
I grew up on marvel and DC. What they have done to both worlds is ridiculous they're literally destroying stories for the sake of their politics. They could have went on for decades making trillions by just following the timeline laid out in the comics. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I can appreciate your perspective, being introduced to MCU as a kid and now as an adult. For us old folks or at least this one, I still enjoy marvel movies and thought antman3 was solid
Solid in what way???
I enjoyed too. But, to each his own!
Disney owns Marvel now. Their whole spiel is "Make Product, You consume the Product, Then Await for next product."
Why would you waste your own money and walk out of ANY movie. Your loss, movie was great.
I pretty much had the same thoughts after "Eternals" but decided to see "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and that film was the final nail in the coffin for me and I have not seen any Marvel films ever since, and I am happy of my decision.
I ended at end game. Too much needless comedy and family tones ruined it for me.
Venom 2 was the hottest of all that is garbage. Coming from someone who grew up with Spiderman/venom/carnage comics. I absolutely LOVED the carnage saga back in the day amd was over myself when they announced venom 2. The fact that they made it a pg-13 was such a let down. They butchered that character. They could've done so much with it, but chopping the balls off of it was it for me. There was so much source material for it, and hollywood just gutted it. 😢
I don't blame you. I love Venom and that movie was... NOT IT.
@@rodriga1985 true.
PG13 wasnt the issue, the issue was poor storytelling and a lackluster story to drive any motives or depth.
Venom was turned into a joke and carnage was just lame.
Kang is such an intricate and deep character in the comic books with an amazingly complex storyline, centered around love and redemption.... . The actor in the movie version is great, but the writing?.... a watered down version of the character, carrying over next to nothing from the comic book version. Why buy the rights if you're not going to use them? ......Such a pity.
Absolutely true. The actor did a great job, but the script was awful.
I gave up on Marvel years ago. Same narrative with people in different costumes. Zero jeopardy, zero interest.
Seinfield went out at the right time. If only the Simpsons would have stopped in the 90s it would be regarded as legendary instead of the show no one cares about anymore!
Snarky stay fine🔥💯
Haha, thank you!
She's gorgeous.
I was way more entertained by this than I was with Black Panther 2. I agree that it was super basic and didn't give me any hope for the future of Marvel but it definitely wasn't the worst MCU movie. This was better than BP2, Thor L&T and BW easily.
Different strokes! Glad you found it more entertaining than I did.
@Snarky Jay yeah but entertaining doesn't = good lol. I agree it was mostly a let down
I agree wholeheartedly with this. This movie was absolutely entertaining. The main thing that everyone has been dunking on us the cgi, which was admittedly horrible in places in this movie. But at least this movie tried to do something different, and at least its villain was single-handedly better than all of phase 4’s villains combined.
When she said, "I won't give spoilers because I didn't finish it", and then went on the add she saw 1h20m ("about half") of it, my mouth dropped. 3 hrs???? On Ant-man??? I had never heard of this hero before recently and can promise you most people know him way, waaaaay less than Flash, who people know waaaaaaay less than Superman and Batman, who warrant 2 hours (or if combined in one film, 2.5 - 3). 3 hours of my time...on this is very disrespectful to audiences and shows they don't value creative storytelling or people's time.
I DIVORCED from Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios immediately after "Avengers: Endgame" back in March 2019. 4 years later and have zero regrets. Phases 1 - 3 is where you want to be as a Marvel Fan.
I did after Infinity war.
Thanos won. Perfect end.
The problem is that Disney went woke! They exchanged original, realistic creativity with diversity, equity, inclusion and delusion. Disney got superhero fatigue, not the fans
🤣
Hey, thanks so much! Hope you enjoyed the video. 😂
Kinda disagree tho antmen qautmania did have low points overall it still give most fans what they wanted. Marvel knows they can't satisfied all the fans so they go for the majority.
The CGI was better them most of phase 4 movies so I don't why people dislike it. Maybe its just because of modak cgi.
The movie have a 83 audience score which is really good and mostly marvel did accomplish what they wanted.
Well said. I have been feeling the same way. I never get tired of watching older films like winter solider or civil war…
The problem isn't that the audience grew up. The main problem is that they hired Rick and Morty writers, activists and allowed directors total freedom.... Most directors after Endgame are narcs...
what youre feeling is something that Geeks+Gamers, Eric July, and Nerdrotic have been talking about for years
So a lot of you just ‘walked out’ of the theater?? Yea ok 🤣
For one, it’s called the MCU. Many of you claim you’ve read the comics if so you know there’s a lot of stories they can go forever.
You let people convince you not to like something, can’t take you serious if you follow others and you can’t make your own decision for your content.
I love this so much. I’m there with you. At the beginning I was like, so Cassie is a physicist now? 😂
And a costume designer. And a protestor. 😂
Her father has a masters degree in electrical engineering (science minded DNA!) and Hank was working with her for years also so this isn't a very good point.
She invents a literal plot device lol
@@number1sun when people view things through a certain lens it's very easy to fall into the echo chamber. It doesn't hurt that it's easy views as well lol
@@number1sunwasn’t Hank blipped during the 5 year stretch
To me this was 1 of the best Star Wars movies that isn’t Star Wars.
She looks so goooooood!
Very disheartening. About to go see it.
I hope you like it more than I did!
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a very entertaining action comedy. I think the vfx, especially for one of the characters was part of the joke. The introduction of Kang was very good, and well acted. From what I see audiences are also enjoying the film. But I can also say I think you are spot on with Wakanda Forever and Love and Thunder.
That's the issue for a lot of people, though, that there always has to be a joke.
bad VFX should never be intentionally used as a joke in a movie like this. I can only accept it in a movie like Free Guy, otherwise that’s just lazy and stupid
Did you enjoy it so much you just HAD to create that sock puppet account? Smfh.
You are a fake account. Started this page literally last year. Knock it off.
@@mystroceo I guess you should then go to the content creators I usually watch and let them know. They will appreciate your insight. Or is this is just a closed loop channel and new individuals shouldn't watch. In that case let the content creator know. Thanks!
I agree with you about quantamania. But i also think Wakanda Forever was worse than Quantamania.
I thought it was a good movie and majors was great. I think folks just like to complain these days honestly
I think so too. I thought it was amazing
I just stumbled upon ur channel!! GREAT REVIEW!! Excellent job in articulating OUR ( the masses) shared disappointment 😢!! Seeing as how mainstream media is bound to try and put a positive spin on this disaster!!
BTW… I instantly liked and subscribed thanks to ur honest review! Awesome job! Keep up the excellent work my sister!😁👍🏾
New sub. Obsessed with pre-Endgame Marvel and now, I think they’re just pandering… Really bums me out. Love your analysis and honesty. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
Have you seen The Boys?
I recently just started watching that show. It’s actually really good.
The footage of MODOK I've seen had me cringing, laughing, and scared all at once and that's usually not a good thing. Terrible CGI indeed. I know it's pretty much a rule to Feige that the MCU must be flooded with CGI to the point it looks like people standing in front of a video game half the time, but if there was one character where a practical constructed face should have happened, it was that character.
As for what went wrong? Well that's simple. Kevin Feige no longer has Jon Favreau to tell him how to plan out a storyline nor Zack Snyder to steal ideas from to know how to map out said storyline. Also no, I'm not joking about either of those things.
And it's not mentioning that people say that Ant-Man 3 was a rip off of sharkboy And lavagirl (2005) because they talked about George Lopez's character Mr electric and I think Robert Rodriguez is a better director than the person who directed Ant-Man 3
But to me modok reminded me of the CGI Dwayne Johnson at the end of the mummy returns (2001) and I think Stephen sommers is a better director as well
I slowed after Black Widow. I stopped after Multiverse of Madness.
I was kind of interested in this one, phase 4 experimental, phase 5 getting back on track. So hearing so many mixed reviews and now your bad one, I'm waiting for streaming again.
I wouldn’t spend hard earned $$ on tickets to this either, tbh.
You're not done. You'll watch them all.
exactly.
I liked it. I don’t understand the hatred for it and I’ve been watching since the the First Blade movie.
The movie needed Wanda, Namor, Doctor Doom or a Fantastic 4 tease to make it interesting. But honestly I still think this movie wasn't even that bad, definitely better than stuff like Thor The Dark World, Shang Chi or Iron Man 3 which I consider to be the worst of the worst.
