- I thought I should do a quick video to set expectations for THE MARVELS, because... let's face it, things are looking bleak.

After ironman and captain America left marvel has went down hill.
True.
@@snarkyjayhey Jay, I have a huge fan of Marvel Comics who I was kid. My expectations are low for The Marvels. You are so beautiful always in blue 😍😘💙💖
@@christopherloyd8938@Chrisptoherloyd8938, my man can you a question? What if the cat of captain Marvel transformed into a alien 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Ironic given when I was coming up they were not even close to marvels most popular characters
That's why I stop after endgame
I remember being hyped for the 1st Captain Marvel movie. When I walked out I knew Marvel would go down hill once Evans and Downey Jr were done
Sandwiched between Infinity Wars and Endgame, I was in too deep when Marvel said it was a must-see for the Infinity Saga. That was the last time I trusted Disney/Marvel. When phase 4 came along, every single movie/show just reinforces my disappointment in the brand.
"Cost effective ways" are how I've been watching every marvel movie since end game. Same with every star wars release since TLJ. And I'm proud of it.
"I'm not gonna watch a bunch of shit I don't care about. I won't do it!" That's basically how i feel about the MCU lately 😂
You hit the nail on the head with this video.
Also, not sure if you knew this Jay: The owner of Rotten Tomatoes is a former Disney employee and old friend of some of the current executives. So there's definitely some bias there. A lot of other channels I watch dropped that bombshell a couple years ago.
The MCU as an ex is a very apt comparison! The only thing is Marvel is my first love, so while I have no interest in what I currently see, if they all of a sudden got their act together I’d be tempted to fall head over heels again, like an absolute fool.
There was a time when the advent of a Marvel release was seismic and now I find myself almost looking at it as a quasi obligation.
Another great update! Have you ever done a cosplay of Carol Danver’s Ms.Marvel? Back when that character was cool? Keep up the great work!
Ms Marvel, it genuinely felt like it wasn't for me. Not in the She Hulk way where people told me that the show wasn't for me, whilst it insulted me, but in the way that it looked okay, but I am in no way the target demographic.
I wish the actress really well, she seems like a nice person and an okay actor.
The villain in The Marvels is actually named Dar-Benn. It’s another gender swap. In the comic the character is a man. They changed it to a woman for this movie. Why?? I’m not sure but it’s definitely a turnoff for me. I guess the 3 female Marvel characters wasn’t enough girl power for the MCU. Having another strong powerful female isn’t the problem, just not sure why they couldn’t find a strong female villain from the comics to be the antagonist for the film. If they’re trying to retain important elements of whatever story they’re trying to tell by keeping the character as Dar-Benn, they’re tuning it by swapping the gender. Often times in the Marvel comics, characters are connected, (e.g. Scarlett Witch is Magneto’s daughter and he has other children with other female mutants). If they all of a sudden decided to make Magneto a woman, that changes the ancestry for other characters, then the explanations become stupid. Like when the made Johnny Storm a black guy but kept Sue Storm white. They were forced to make up some idiotic explanation as to why these siblings were different races (adopted) and it unnecessarily changed their backstory and ancestry…all for the sake of pandering inclusion and diversity. Which for me, as a black man, is insulting. I couldn’t really get into Ms. Marvel but judging by the previews, this movie is going to take in an immature feel and tone judging by Ms. Marvel’s childish responses to a lot of what’s going on in the previews. I’m feeling it’s going to be a flip as well! The gender swapping, “girl power” doesn’t help in at all! I feel WW84 vibes.
Spider-Man in Civil War and Infinity War was a little immature but it wasn’t over the top and it didn’t change the serious tone of Civil War (or Infinity War). From the previews of the Marvels, it just seemed like there was too much immature, comic relief.
"Trapped in the ecosystem" Such an appropriate phrase for what they are so nefariously trying to do.
7:26 - "[Marvel] once had solo movies for big money makers like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America..."
Funny you mention it that way because before Marvel Studios was even a thing the new CEO of Marvel who replaced the disastrous and crooked Avi Arad came up with a plan to build their studio around the Supes that other studios didn't want. He etched out his plan in a magazine interview (2006ish) whereby the newly created Marvel Studios would showcase these lesser known Super Heroes (Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor were mentioned) in a way that allowed the studio to bring them together in cameos. When I read it I immediately thought "Avengers!" There was one big caveat. Everything hinged on the success of "Iron Man". The article was very clear that if the Iron Man movie wasn't a box office success the studio would fail because they wouldn't have the capital or clout for the other films.
So, when we think of Iron Man or Thor today we think "hugely popular super heroes" that's a very recent development for Hollywood.
Yes, the glasses are back again. 💪 but anyway, I'm not really expecting anything special from the movie. I just hope the end credits show something worth staying a Marvel fan. Ever since Thanos lost, it went down the drain. Great take. We shall see next month.
One thing I've learned is to never trust anyone who says "shall" or starts a sentence with "well"
Apathy is the current state of many minds.
Disney Magic is at its best when they make something new, especially with something everyone has forgotten. I figured it out, Disney's next hit will be a crossover with Prince of Persia (2010) and Live Action Alladin (2019). It won't matter that Saracens and Persians are from different time periods and speak different languages. Prince Dastan has the dagger of time and everyone spoke English with British accents (according to their movies)
I’m from the generation of the male Captain Marvel who was trapped in the Negative Zone and had to physically swap places with Rick Jones on Earth. This movie seems to be bringing this concept to the screen in an altered form, which I appreciate, but not enough to make me want to watch it.
Phases 1-3 made household names out of B, C, and even D list Marvel comics characters.
Now we're in Phase 5 and it feels like The MCU can't sell water to a fish.
All the work Marvel has done to try and make the Marvels a thing (in and out of the comics) and here we are on the eve of their team up movie, unable to muster up enough of a fuck to hate watch it.
We live in a society, indeed.
Marvel (in contrast to DCU) is very fortunate they still have a pretty large hardcore herd that willf eed on absolutely anything, no matter how soulless the offerings. However even the Marvel herd is dwindling and most kids these days make fun of them. A very good sign because maybe, just maybe we will get our cinema back in a few years because it has been quite a desert for movie lovers since the 2010s.
One Marvel film a year, and no live-action TV shows is the way to go.
I imagine somewhere in the multiverse it's gonna make over 1B though. 😂
Projections for THIS universe are looking rough though. LOL
The fact that they wouldn't let Captain America go is the biggest crime along with iron man. The sad part is they don't have any leader characters maybe shang chi but they won't have him cameo in films and set up Galactus as a villain that is why they are fuckin up.
1:34 “$16 on a movie ticket?” Man, Snarky Jay, ya’ll’s hurting out there 😀
Happy Saturday Jay!! Keep the videos coming!! Call you butter cause you are on a roll. 😂
Hah, thank you Alfred!
Nobody trusts these Rotten tomatoes ratings. Our trust lays in the hands independent content creators that are calling out the gaslighting coming from these studio monopolies.
I never even look at review sites, they’re all manipulated bullshit. I prefer watching actual people like this.
Only thing good about Ms Marvel was all four male lead. Her father, her best friend, her crush ( Djin guy ) and the Pakistani helper guy.
And Iman is also great. You need a rendezvous, her and you! You don't need nobody but her body with your body! And you can act like you just met someone new, but it ain't the first time and it won't be the last time you rendezvous!
I agree with most of your point’s except for saying that Thor Ironman and captain America were big money makers at marvel isn’t exactly true they were once third string characters at one point as well but marvel took a chance with them and it became very profitable on their end
I haven't been excited for any movies for a long time. Sometimes it bothers me, but most of the time I don't care. The drama behind the scenes has become my entertainment.
It's not lost on me that the MCU lost any real direction it had after the death of Stan Lee. That, combined with Disney's insistence that they focus on stories from the "All New, All Different" era of Marvel Comics (in other words focus on stories from after they bought them so they didn't have to pay royalties), drove the MCU into a ditch. The shift from a purely movie based cinematic universe to a streaming based version didn't help either. Because it's one thing to have to watch another movie to get caught up for the upcoming film as opposed to have to watch 8-10 hours of a streaming show on a service I don't really want to pay for constantly to get caught up for a movie I only halfheartedly want to watch. In summation, the MCU we knew and loved died with Stan, and I don't think it's coming back.
When that scene with all female characters in End game showed on big screen ...all of a sudden I`m feeling awake like the addiction to watch EVERY Marvel movie suddenly been cured 🤣
Disney should have known that Kamala Kahn ( miss marvel) wouldn't draw fans, her comics never sold, which would tell anyone with an IQ over 3 that she's not a well liked character. But, they needed that diversity, and she checks a lot of boxes, young, female, and muslim, so they thrust her into the spotlight, and hoped for the best. When you decide your movies by what boxes they check instead of what characters are liked by fans, you're starting out with one foot already in the grave. I don't see Marvel making a comeback anytime soon, which is sad, because I used to get so excited when a new Iron Man or Captain America was coming out, they were fantastic, well loved characters, not to mention box office powerhouses, so what does Marvel do? Kill them off. Genius move. Can't let the superhero world have a patriarchy, can we? No way, let's sacrifice great storytelling with beloved characters and success at the box office and instead make a matriarchy with characters that no one likes or cares about and lose money for the shareholders. Sounds like a stroke of genius to me, or maybe I'm just having an actual stroke. Oh shit, I need to call 911.
That pirates reference cracked me up😂🤣🤣🤣
LOL I’m glad!
Disney keeps making things fans say they don't want, then blames those same fans when it fails, hilarious business model.
I'm not even pirating this stuff out of curiosity anymore. It's just a waste of time. I'm losing interest in even watching it fall apart. They might of lost me for life with thier foolishness and ridiculous politics.
I don’t blame you.
Happy Saturday! Watching your video while recovering made my day, especially the glasses! You rock!
Thank you Kaden!
We all know why Marvel can't produce a competent product anymore-- ideology, too many cooks in the kitchen, too many unqualified people, etc. This leads to rewrites, reshoots, and delays up the wazoo. What I don't understand is this: where does this $300 million+ go? The end product always looks so cheap. During filming, they must be serving caviar for lunch and taking a limo every time they need to go the port-a-potty.
They made Captain Marvel more this perfect hero with no flaws. And it's flaws in characters that people relate to most. Why Disney thinks women have to be overpowered and perfect in movies makes no sense to me. Writers just are not good. What good is any character if they don't have weaknesses they have to overcome? What good is a character if they never have their own inner demons to fight against? Why do I love Batman? Cause he is kind of of messed up in the head. The dude has inner demons he has to go against at times. Why is Spiderman so relatable. How many times has Peter messed up or made a bad choice? Plenty but he always learned from it. That inspires people. Why can't Disney do this with female characters? It would only make them more relatable and display real strength. They had an opportunity with She-hulk and blew it. I'm out. I won't see this film.
Really Beautiful Professor Jay with Glasses is a Good Look!! I was never planning to see the Marvels anyway!
Trying to hide your true identity behind glasses like Superman isn’t working snarky 😊
Ugh...u nailed it with the Marvel analogy.
-Modern day-
*great cgi
*tons of $ for films
*great actors
*no one writing for disney got past 5th grade.
James Gunn introduced Guardians Of The Galaxy to a world of people who had never heard of them. Marvel wrapped their main characters and thought they could do what Gunn did, but for all of these other characters. Love him or hate him, but these MCU people aint James Gunn. Or what we saw John Favreau do with Iron-Man 1. You cant copy, paste what they do. I personally would have preffered a few years break after End Game.
You sleep Loki fire and Deadpool about to be a masterpiece
I think I want to watch Casablanca again now. Thanks.
Ms. Marvel was a classic work of art compared to the trash that was She-Hulk. Marvel's biggest issue is that they have been turning out crap. I don't think it's superhero fatigue, but BS fatigue.
Someone should tell Bree's stuntwoman that Bree did all the stunts in the movie.
Funny, I just finished a Pirates of the Caribbean re-binge too!! ....that...that is what you're sayin, right? 😉
Phase five of the M-She-u is just sad, shadow of its former glory
Fuzzy slippers is wearing glasses! 🤓
Ooooooh, switching places.... doesn't sound too familiar to Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer.
But the glasses tho 😍😍😍
Never forget Captain Marvel made a "Billion" in the box office.
The cat is going to be the best part of this movie.
that comparisson at the beginning xD
I Am Planning to see this movie , and planning to take my brother , my reason is because of hearing how bad that it might be ? I saw the Captain Marvel movie on Disney+ , i guess it was fair , Now i Like Brie Larson in that movie Kong on Skull Island , she did act pretty good in that movie , they said Brie Larson had a much better attitude then what it is now .
I only watched Captain Marvel due to Marvel loyalty. Miss Marvel was boring. And now that Marvels is coming out, I might skip out on this one. Marvel has lost my loyalty with She-Hulk. That dumpster fire of a series has killed any remaining loyalty that I held for Marvel. Disney seems to be killing anything they touch nowadays.
At this point, I'm expecting watching most marvel movies to be like watching a car crash... and everyone knows its impossible to turn away from watching a car crash.
This here is why Ive always shared universes will eventually fail and fall apart. Especially as people age out or wish to do other things. They used their biggest characters to sell it now that they are to afraid to recast those characters they are retiring then or doing what failed in the comics passing down the character mantle. Falcon Captain America, Jane FosternThor and Iron Heart for examples. Yeah this is what you are left with. Should of built up some of these smaller characters why the big guns were there because now the little guys can't support it
Blame it on woke writers that can't help but kill off characters or turn them gay.
Thank You!
from a former Marvel Comics Fan
Ms. Marvel was the lowest watched show in the MCU, despite the RT score and the shills screaming that it was so incredible and everyone should watch it. Say what you will about the M-She-U moniker but more and more it does seem that is Disney's approach to their big IP. In Star Wars we got Mary Sue Rey and now Ahsoka and The Mandalorian being ousted from his own show by Bo Katan. We have the Obi Wan show being about little Leia and the new female Inquisitor. The Bad Batch was a great animated show until they pushed in Omega, the little girl who can do just about anything.
If we go to Marvel then the entire Phase 4-6 has been about pushing Agenda. The Eternals failed hard because it was more about diversity than about a good story. Thor Love and Thunder made Thor out to be a frat guy again like he was at the start of Thor, the first movie. His character arc has vanished and been reset so that Jane can come in and save the day as female Thor. Wakanda Forever ... yeah, well, we saw what they were going to do there a mile off. We have a female BP and a female Iron Man in Ironheart. Quantumania had not one, not two, but three main female leads showing the male lead how do things right. And then of course the The Marvels came out to crash and burn.
On D+ we got the Hawkeye series which was really the Kate Bishop show co-starring Hawkeye. Wandavision which again despite critical raves wasn't for everyone. Loki which was a bait and switch as it was all about female Loki, not the character we had grown to love. The afore mentioned Ms. Marvel of course which failed hard. She-Hulk was was a total dumpster fire and finally Echo which ... well, the less said about that the better.
And of course let us not forget Indiana Jones when it comes to Kathleen Kennedy's crusade to destroy every male character in the Lucasfilm library.
I saw Brie on Hot Ones and a couple of her youtube vids, she seems chill but I don't care for her outspoken social activist persona she projects and her as Capt Marvel. You can be a strong female character and still keep feminine qualities or a personality in general but I think that's not all on her, I think Carol's lack of character is one part her and also Disney.
Great Vid 👍
You lookk *MARVELOUS* in blue! 😘😍🥰💙
Thank you!
The MCU has ruined me. I have 4 children, 2 boys who are in high-school and two girls in grade school. Me and my boys just loved and flipped over every MCU movie, toy, and cartoon it was a great time. Now enter my girls coming of age, they think the MCU is trash, they don't like any of the characters despite the fact they are female centric in most shows and movies now. They have totally miss the mark with audiences. My oldest daughter is at a loss as to why the post infinity war movies and shows are so cringe and the pre infinity war movies she really enjoyed. I just don't get what they are about. Jay, do you think they are just digging in their heals and saying this is what you get and you will take it...😢
Frankly I can careless if it flops at the box office, I’m just hoping for a Strong Monica Rambeau AKA Captain Marvel, Photon, Pulsar, Spectrum ( in comics) adaptation by Teyonah Parrish 🖖🏾
Marvel needs to scrap everything .And let paramount pictures and Netflix purchase them .
I don't like Brie Larson as a person but i got to watch Captain Marvel for continuity to Endgame (yeah im that sucker... lol) and im part of the "meh...it was watchable" kind of crew. I mean it was alright, can't say i loved it a ton but i didn't disliked it...
Mrs Marvel is one of my least favorite of D+ (after She-Hulk of course) but again... watchable. The main actress is fine. Its just plot wasn't particulary interesting to me, and yet im the kind of guy who enjoy "adventure movies for younger audiences".
And well... im probably gonna watch this new Marvels because i kinda watch all their movies in theatre (i missed one or 2 during Covid tough)... But im getting closer to you in the "its not events much anymore, im gonna start skipping some probably at some point". That said so far even movies like Quantumania wich i can't say i particulary loved crazy, they didn't insult me or anything like some peoples. If i recall i think you hated it, i recall you saying you walked out lol. But i could be wrong.
But overall lately i have this feeling of "its alright ... but nothing special" everytime i watch a Marvel movie in theatre. Thats not normal but what should be mega blockbusters.
Sad but lots of valid points.
As a person thats a fan of Ms. Marvel in the comic books, I was really disappointed with the disney plus show. It was so dumb how they couldn't even get her powers right or her origin. If you are gonna make a movie or a tv show about a super hero, the very least they should do is get the super powers right. If they don't even care to do that right, then who exactly are they making it for?? Because its definitely not for the fans.
Great video Jay.
I haven't enjoyed a MCU movie since Endgame. And the only MCU TV show I liked was Falcon and Winter Soldier.
I absolutely hated Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Multiverse of Madness, No way home, Thor Love and Thunder, Wandavision Loki S1, and the first episode of She Hulk. I didn't even bother giving Quantumania or Eternals a shot or the other MCU shows since I've learned my valuable lesson. So I wholeheartedly agree with your stance that if you don't like what Disney is putting out, don't give them your money. Money talks and that's the only way to speak to Disney.
I really enjoyed Barbie though and watched that 3x in theaters. And I got tickets to Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert film this weekend. As for Captain Marvel 1? It...was a movie. Bottom tier MCU but better than The Dark World if that means anything to you 😂.
Candyman was a mess. Miss Marvel was a mess. Captain Marvel was trash. Monica Rambeau's "they'll never know what you gave up"❤ is on par with "somehow Palpatine returned". The MCU is in trouble because the core of the MCU movies where made by the Russo Brothers . Disney let them walk away, they had just delivered two of the biggest movies of all time. Without that strong core everything they put out was mid. They have to choose better projects, they also have to stop the TV shows. I want the Marvels 2 bomb hard. I want Echo to be the next Willow. Maybe then they'll focus on quality again
What if I told you ironman, cap and thor where all b and c list characters one upon a time ..
Really bakes your noodle huh 🤣
Here's the thing... Guardians was a fluke about B and C characters. Once that was successful, it opened the gate for all these other lousy b and c characters. They need to stop trying to make Guardians happen again and get back to their main Heros. The ones we actually care about.
I wouldn't say GUARDIANS was a fluke. GUARDIANS worked because you had creators who were passionate about the source material in particular and the space pulp and superhero genres in general. THAT'S the problem, because, while you have a good point about getting back to the main heroes...look who has been in charge. CHLOE ZHAO on ETERNALS or JESSICA GAO on SHE-HULK? MS. MARVEL's creative staff, more interested in "seeing themselves on screen" as opposed to crafting a memorable superheroine story? Folks like ALI SELIM of SECRET INVASION?
We need creators like JAMES GUNN and THE RUSSO BROTHERS - folks who actually CARED about what they were working on to begin with, main heroes or B/C characters.
Capt Marvel is one of those movies you can skip and not miss anything. It brought nothing to the MCU and if Capt. Marvel's character was left out of Endgame it would not have affected the movie at all. she is a totally irrelevant character.
While I understand why some people are calling post Endgame MCU M She U, I think it's lazy.
Just like Marvel's writing!!!
But yeah, that's the problem with modern MCU; it's lazy writing especially when it comes to their female characters.
I'm down for all of the ladies being brought in, I just want the material to be good.
Thank you for your Raw Honesty. It really needs to be said.
Thank you for watching!
I treat Cpt Marvel like 7 up never have never will.
I'm all here for longer videos. Nice vest or tank top. I'm not American.
The villain is their own ego ............
5:45 😂 I felt this. I refuse to get Disney plus.
The Marvels are just another part of "THE PANDERVERSE" So...that's a hard pass
I will absolutely watch this……when it comes out on Disney+. Loki is the only reason I’m hanging around for the MCU at the moment.
Here’s how u fix the mcu. The upcoming fantastic 4 movie we find out they are from a universe where there are x-men and avengers( I’ll be calling this the mcu2). At the end of secret wars all the heroes return to their respective universes(Holland spidey to mcu, tobey to raimi verse, fox x-men to fox verse, etc). But in the end we are now following the universe the fantastic 4 are from, the mcu2. While our old mcu is still out there in the multiverse. There’s ur soft reboot old mcu still exist and we are now following the new mcu2. As for Tom Spider-Man just complete his trilogy and introduce the new mcu2 Spider-Man in phase 3 or 4 of mcu2. That gives enough time to finish Tom Spider-Man arc before introducing a new actor to play spidey in the new universe. Now as for what do u do before secret wars cause no one cares ? Simple take all the politics and agendas out of EVERY PROJECT, turn shows that people don’t care for like echo and agatha into 40 minute specials, finally focus all ur attention on Spider-Man no way home, multiverse of madness, loki, fantastic 4, deadpool 3, kang dynasty, and secret wars as the main movies and 1 tv show u need to understand the multiverse saga. Here’s an outline of what I’m saying. Post secret wars mcu2 phase 1 wolverine film, hulk film, fantastic 4 sequel film, x-men film, elseworld film Holland Spider-Man 5. Phase 2 wolverine 2, hulk 2, x-men 2, fantastic 4 3, ultimate avengers 1, elseworld(old mcu) Spider-Man 6( Tom new trilogy done here). Phase 3 wolverine 3, hulk 3, fantastic 4 4, black panther 1, new film of Spider-Man of mcu2, avengers vs x-men.
THANK YOU
Thank you again for putting rotten tomatoes on blast.
Because I knew there was something fishy about their ratings with all these crappy marvel and star wars shows out there.
Thank you.
Brie Larson was great in Room and 21 Jump Street but I can't do Captain Marvel or tolerate to much of her her as a person. I'm skeptical of anything involving someone named Kamala as well lol. Jay you keep looking better and better in every video wow! 💯🙂
Thanks Patrick!
I liked the Captain Marvel film. Watched it before i knew how horrible Brie is. Still like the film despite all that. Her and Sam Jackson have good chemistry. There was the proper amount of comedy mixed in with the serious nature of the film. The main skrull guy is funny. I think that film gets a bit of a bad rap, but having said that....i have complete faith that Disney will come through with an atrocious The Marvels film. Its just what they do these days. Consistently bad product after bad product.
You don't have to go to the Caribbean to watch it cost-effectively. I wouldn't mind a movie day out, following by a thoughtful talk in a coffee shop. I'll pay for both the ticket, popcorn and the coffee. I'm not in the US, though but I'm sure inflation doesn't bankrupt everyone in the US. We're quite fine in Asia. I'm sure the news is as overblown about us on your side as it is about you on our side.
You did not you did not mention scarlet witch which is where this version of Monica was introduced❤
I agree that the movies lately have sucked, but there is hope. If they can pull off a good X-Men movie the way they did Avengers, we could see a return to glory. Magneto done well would be a start. Avoid using any of the existing actors, just start over. Reset expectations. Lose the inclusivity and diversity baggage and just make the movie. X-Men are the poster children of both, so it would happen naturally. The other thing is, try and keep it true to the comics. Making Mystique the leader was confusing and frustrating. Giving emphasis to Wolverine was also annoying. Scott or Storm are the leaders I recall, as such the focus should be on them and let the others play supporting roles. Now, another thing. Some people are glorifying "Old Marvel". Hate to break it to ya, but they had crap movies as well. The first Iron Man started out really strong, but the last act was a bit anti-climactic. Iron Man 2 & 3 were not good at all. Thor also had its' share of crap movies: Ragnarök was arguably the best of the bunch. The first Dr Strange was pretty good, but not nearly as good as Avengers. Oh, yeah, and Avengers Age of Ultron was arguably a let-down to viewers due to subpar storytelling and Endgame, to me, was the beginning of the end due to the "girl power" narrative and the nerfing of two of the three strongest characters (Hulk and Thor). All the Antman movies sucked. I saw the first of the 3 Guardians of the Galaxy movies and didn't care for them. So, it's not like they were batting a 1000, it's just that, we expect SOME duds and are willing to let it slide. But, again, I agree with you with respect to the new lineup. I considered the story arc closed at Endgame with the death of Tony and Steves' retirement. Btw, I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but Aubrey Plaza bears a strong resemblance to you.
The pirate tho......LOL
2:15 when i heard they weren't doing a Nova story (which would have made sense to do and could have led to Annihilation which would have been awesome) and instead were doing a Capt Marvel movie (and not Ms Marvel version) i nope'd out. decided id wait to hear from people i trusted if it was good and required to watch for Endgame. the answer for both was no. but what i found out after watching several in depth breakdowns of Capt. Marvel was that anyone who knee jerk defended Marvel (to this day) wouldnt give 2 fucks what i thought because i hadnt seen it for myself. even tho i could give them an exact breakdown of most scenes. so ive basically had to tap out of talking about it with anyone and am now seen as the grump who just hates women... fml.
Unlike most of my “toxic male” brethren, I actually like Bree Larson, at least in other things she’s done. I thought Captain Marvel was good (except for the cat scratching gag) . But “The Marvels” looks really stupid.
I watched the first 3 episodes of ms marvel with my teenage daughter, and it wasn't terrible but we both just lost interest in it and never finished it, so that should tell you something
The MCU is in its Expanded Universe comic book phase , and unfortunately not everyone reads comics books . In addition Captain has been hard to market , no shield , claws or ion blaster to sell to kids . Looking forward to Deadpool & the New Captain America refreshing the roster
Jay you are spoy on as usual. I remember walking into Avengers: Endgame telling my kids this was the last great Marvel movie we'd see for a long time. I wasn't wrong. It took 10 years to get there and it culminate in one great final movie! If Marvel following the same strategy they'd be on track for another set of massive wins in 2029. They stupidly thought they didn't need to follow the old strategy that worked and now their phase 5 is absolute garbage with the exception of GoTG which has ended. Very Sad. Fiege can take the overall win, but the King maker is no more.
I gave up on the Marvel Universe when Thor, Love and Thunder came out on top of Captain Marvel(To me Shazam was always THE Captain Marvel, even the Movie Sucked.)
The villain name was leaked just a couple of hours ago, it's MC Hammress.
In the distance MC Hammer prepares his lawsuit.
Personal take on the marvels characters is I still can't remember a fucking line of dialogue and Mrs marvel wasn't helping. Because I don't talk like modern children. That's probably not their fault. Just give me something memorable and that might change. The bomb of she's got mutant genes is probably the only thing I recounted. But she didn't even say it
One of the Marvel movies made some pretty good Box Office hits, especially Avengers: Endgame, but even tho Captain Marvel has 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences didn't even like it because of Brie Larson. And I think The Marvels are going to have the same reactions to Brie Larson's performance, and I think it's not gonna do well at the box office, when it released on November
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Oof... Relating Marvel to an ex like that was sooo spot on. But yer pretty much always spot on with things Jay. Keep up the good work on these vids.
WHEN THIS MOVIE STARRING 3 FEMALE HEROES AND A FEMALE VILLAIN FLOPS HARD, GUARANTEE THE PRESS BLAMES MEN.
