-MCU Phase Five Sucks-
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s fifth phase hasn’t been any better than its fourth. In fact, it might be worse despite a winner in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3. I take a look back at the first year of phase five in this compilation video of previous reviews as well as new ones for the second seasons of What If? and Loki.
-Chapters-
0:00 - Well, phase five sucks (so far)
2:52 - What If? Season 2
04:05 - Loki Season 2
09:28 - Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantamania
29:02 - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3
43:07 - Secret Invasion
01:03:44 - The Marvels

#disney #marvel #mcu - Zábava
I’ve gone from super invested in everything marvel, to refusing to give them anymore of my money. I’m not mad anymore, I’m apathetic…. They’ve stolen my ability to care about any of it.
Absolutely. Couldn't have put it better
I pirated all of the phase 1-3 MCU films, and even though it costs me nothing i dont even want to pirate phase 4 or 5. Thats how you stop piracy, make films so bad even the pirates dont want to see them.
I thought, erroneously too, that I was an MCU-head....
Pretty much the same w me. Fuck it. They don't deserve our $$
I was like this with Star Wars. I loved Star Wars ever since I was a kid, and when episode 7 came out, I saw it in theater with my family. I almost walked out 6 different times, not even taking into account Rey being a Mary Sue. It was bad enough that it made me stop caring about Star Wars in its entirety. I just can't care anymore, and I don't. Sorry the same thing has happened to you.
At this point I'm glad Iron Man died in Endgame, he at least escaped being character assassinated unlike Thor and Dr Strange
or the Hulk. I swear Disney Marvel has to reinvent things that aren't broken, until they are. Meanwhile, Hawkman lives LOL.
@@andrewsundaresan786 SHHHH don't tell them we still like Hawkeye, they might realise he's a man and kill the character.
They're obviously bringing him back for Secret Wars.
And I can't wait for the scene where the great, beautiful, RiRi Williams calls him an over privileged white man who doesn't know what struggle means.
(I'm being sarcastic before yall come at me)
For now.
Remember it's never enough that they're dead. They have to defecate on the goodwill they left behind so much that people won't want to return to those characters
For me the MCU ended with Endgame.
They should've have taken two years off to plan out the next chapter.
I always knew dc comics is better than marvel
@@nophotos_616not sure how this is relevant other than to show that you’re dc fan. What has dc done right universe wise since they started at MoS.
They made the suicide squad,
two versions of a the same film (ZSJL and JWJL),
Aquaman that only made money because of Jason mamoa hype,
Wonder Woman that only made money riding off BvS and its supposed importance to the upcoming justice league films (similar to how they used captain marvel between infinity war and endgame.)
BvS got hype because of the story it was adapting but did a poor job with the execution regardless.
The only good thing the DCEU made was done by James Gunn in the suicide squad
After all of that we see the real outcome of their production in their continued universe in the form of Aquaman 2, WW84 and the flash all continuations essentially for the characters that absolutely BOMBED and rightfully so.
The only saving grace for dc is literally taking a director that made the entire successful guardians trilogy and their one side character film aka suicide squad and making him spearhead the entire DCU after not listening to fan backlash or opinions until everything crashed and burned
Marvel seems to have become to complacent and thought they had he market so now they can throw in woke media and pull in that audience and somehow not thinking that would alienate the existing audience which as shown was not true they lost damn near everyone pushing out mediocre woke nonsense.
DC’s problem was trying to catch marvel up by releasing only MoS then jumping into trio film right after to speed run what marvel did with iron man, Thor, captain America and hulk essentially before doing avengers 1 they rushed to get everyone together and set up the notion that they would do solo films after bringing everyone together either via teases or outright in a team film as shown just thinking mashing this all together would rake in loads of money.
I had hope for doctor strange continuing the good mcu movies after endgame but boy they threw that hope into the shitter, after endgame only Guardians of the galaxy 3 and spider man was canon for me, with this trilogy closed and the actors off the project the mcu is officially dead.
For me it ended with Infinity war.
@@nophotos_616You dont wanna say that in the cinematic universe conversation. The MCU used to be good, the DCEU started out on fire and they used gasoline to douse it.
if Phase 4 was like doing side quests after beating the game, Phase 5 was like grinding for battle passes and purchasing microtransactions on a game that has like 2,000 con-current players...
Just letting you know, concurrent is a whole word without a hyphen.
This is a really great analogy
@@Zevox144 Did you understand him? If so you're just being a little btch. I bet you can read that just fine.
I am sick of hearing that its all going to suck. Guys we have the Hole Alien now. He is better then all of phase 4 and anything from the non cannon Disney "StarWars". He almost made me forget rey exist
When future generations try to say how dumb ours was do you want it to be because of rey or hole alien.
Lets be real no matter how many holes rey gets hole alien will never hurt you.
Hole Alien = Best holes
I know exactly what you mean. I still play Red Dead Online.
You massively undersold just how unlikable Cassie is, and how destructive she is to the film; warping all the other characters to conform to the unbelievable idea that we the audience should agree with her that scott sucks, when we like him and at best tolerate the others.
What they do with Scott in Quantumania is try to use the "Character becomes famous and becomes a jerk" trope. This doesn't work, because Scott isn't being a jerk. After spending three years in jail, and then five years in the Quantum Realm, he wants to be with Cassie. The conflict of Ant-Man 1 was that he needed to prove that he was a good father to Maggie and Paxton, both are inexplicably nowhere to be seen in this movie. Yeah, Scott capitalises on his newfound fame, but it doesn't change his personality.
The dinner table scene where everyone gangs up on him is sickening. Hope, Hank and Janet would still be dead alongside the rest of half the universe if Scott hadn't discovered a way to undo Thanos' snap.
I mean is she really any more unlikeable than She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, or most of the other Marvel characters? They’re all unlikeable for the most part
@@bigbruhking9709Oh no, she is absolutely in her own league.
With Jennifer, because she's just as horrid to bruce as cassie is to her father. Carol is just kind of a nothing character by comparison. She's annoying and arrogant, and doesnt have any struggles as a character which makes all the glazing she get cringeworthy, but jennifer and cassie actively hurt the ones who love them with zero consequences, and that's unsalvagable.
Whats the worst thing we can really say about like, kate bishop or kamala? they're young and unfunny? Even Riri, who's absolutely vile in the comics, just comes across as average protagonist material on screen. maybe she's a bit cocky? But she never goes out of her way to put anyone down for not being as smart as her.
@@GuiltlessGear I get what you’re saying. But this isn’t on the performances, it’s moreso on the writing. EVERYONE in the MCU now has the self righteousness of Steve without the backstory, and the arrogance of Tony without the charm. So yes. Cassie can be in a league of her own. But if iron heart is as extremely good as it gets, I just struggle to see how she’s head and shoulders below any other characters that have been introduced, in terms of their capacity to be unlikable
The dinner table scene is the worst scene in Hollywood history. It’s literally a group of people kicking an innocent puppy that can’t defend itself
After Endgame, I knew exactly what was coming, and I chose what watched in the theater very carefully. Spider-Man, and....that's it.
That "girl boss" scene in Endgame was top cringe and so violently shoved in within a fluid fight scene that i immediately went, "Once Endgame is done, im done"
Was not gonna NOT watch the movie, since I'd invested 10 yrs of my life since Iron Man was released.
But I knew i was done with Marvel because i could see where it was heading.
The only Marvel films I've watched since then are Spider Man (which is mostly Sony) and Guardians 3.
Both were ok.
SpiderMan was mostly nostalgia bait and an extremely silly ending.
GotG3 was sort of good but quite frankly, forgettable.
And that was the best of the worst phases since Endgame
That Girl Boss scene was straight up cringe. Capt. Marvel is the most OP of them all, her literal intro to the fight was destroying Thanos' Sanctuary warship. All of the additional female superheroes were useless to the needs of her character in the film, and it stood out from the movie as if it was a literal cringe commercial break for things to come. I'm not even a Capt. Marvel hater, I thought her 'Hello Peter Parker' moment was great, just to segway to that mess. I stopped GotG after 2, had zero interest.
@@savioblanc yeah, I don't get the adulation for Spiderman NWH, when it HEAVILY banks on the past franchise and a redoing of the "Uncle Ben" scene (with the usual redefining "muh gender roles" theatrics). People came to watch the franchise connections, not the rest of the teenage Nickelodeon circus. GOTG3 was just nostalgia again and that also heavily relied on emotional blackmailing. James Gunn did the right thing to at least end it.
NWH was bad, like really bad.
I knew that after Endgame, the hype and quality will decline. However, I do not foresee how bad they will drop. It's like they sprinting to the lowest level as fast as possible
It's incredible how far the MCU has fallen in quality and interest. What used to be a must-see is now not seen. Remember when the MCU had genuine excitement & optimism before each show or film's release? That's all gone...now instead of "I can't wait to see what they'll do" it's "I can't wait to see how they fuck this up". what a shame...
Disney doesn’t respect: the original material, the characters, the backstory, the lore, the audience, history, morality, men, it’s own storylines, death…
Nope. For mouth breathers maybe but I've never gone past Ultron.
For me it has become "I can't wait to igonre their entire catalogue and watch someone entertaining make fun of it on youtube later".
Although I agree, I also disagree at the same time. Instead of having the thought of "waiting for another messed up movie to happen", the only thing I can do is just hear the announcement, don't watch any trailers or read the comments, just wait, and go watch it upon release to see if it's good or bad. As simple as it sounds, I feel like many people on the internet today is on this cesspool to always expect the worst of things everyday, saying things like "it's gonna suck" or "another woke trash", nvm the fact that the movie hasn't came out yet and we don't even know much of it.
I remember seeing Avengers twice in theaters; the line was so long it went outside in the MORNING. And now it's this...
I refuse to watch them ruin Dr. Doom. I'm checked out.
On one hand, I don't think the Fantastic Four can be done any worse than it already has. On the other, I didn't think Disney could make two and a half bad Star Wars movies in a trilogy (I still give the ANH clone the credit of not killing all hype immediately somehow).
@@Zevox144I thought the Force Awakens was sparkly trash. Left the theaters confused feeling like a whole trilogy of movies were missing that would explain how things turned out the way it did.
The EU wasn't perfect but it was definitely more inspired.
@@Zevox144 Quite the opposite. You can't really do Fantastic Four much better than it already has. It's just not that good.
@@Atheismo9760 the fantastic four have never been my favorite. But Doom is way bigger than the F4, he's relevant to any MCU hero
@@Atheismo9760You must not know a lot about the F4 of you think the Tim Story movie is the best they can be in live action. That's like believing The Incredible Hulk or Thor 2011 are the best those characters can ever be when they aren't even close.
Can’t believe they ruined Kang. In the MCU movies he’s just not a big enough threat if he got bested by ant man
I'd have gone with Michael Korvac. He has a very human motivation, and it would provide a chance to introduce the future Guardians of the Galaxy.
They messed up with reshoots. The focus of Quantumania became more, "boss babe! even the jaded, obnoxious teenager who magically knows everything - and here she comes to save the day!" Gone are the days of actual badass female characters that fought through the plot to earn their character arc. Now female characters are just awesome from the beginning - which means there's no story in the first place. And the non-stop lecturing, jesus christ. Pretty much the same formula in every movie and online series.
I am sure Hollywood - MCU included - will learn from this pathetic virtue signalling jerkfest, pull their heads of their asses and realise that they are the last people on this planet to lecture others about "privilege" /s
Well a lot of people thought Ant-Man would go subatomic, crawl into Thaynous and explode him from the inside.
I always knew dc is better
I can't believe that anybody thinks that Kang hasn't always been ruined by design.
I have nothing but sympathy for Paul Rudd. It wasn't his fault Quantumania died on arrival. He deserves better.
The MCU has taken me through the 5-stages of grief. I'm now in the acceptance phase. I know all MCU content will suck (all Disney content for that matter.)
True
I'm still at the bargaining phase, unfortunately.
@@razorback9999able don’t blame you
yeah Disney content in general. The song that girl sang in the “Wish” movie also sucked too, lyric wise and rhythm wise.
Almost all former MCU fans have. Haven't even heard anybody mention the MCU outside the internet for maybe two years. In general it seems like the only time a movie from most big studios nowadays is decent is if the business people don't notice what the actual artists are doing. Served with a side of much tastier, much healthier older and indie alternatives, of course.
GOTG 3 was written in 2018-2019 so that's why it stands out among the crap phases, it existed before them.
Yup
Even if it was written the same year, James Gunn admitted to have no clue about what was going on in the MCU at the moment so it would've been good anyway bc he was just gonna write an ending to his trilogy and nothing else
Quantumania felt longer than 2 hours because as we all know:
*Time works differently in the Quantum Realm*
No it's "outside of time and space". That's why the movie follows an entirely linear timeline in something that is clearly no space at all whatsoever☠️
@@mariealba4158 did you watch Endgame lol
“Your daughter built a subatomic Hubble telescope in the basement.”
Yeah. I am sure it was real hard to do too. Considering it was ANTMANS BASEMENT! It’s not like she had to go far for those Lego bricks.
Also. The director comment where he says, “Oh oil don’t read reviews. …I view all the storytelling work I do as a dialogue with my audience…”
If you are not reading the audiences reviews then it is called a monologue. Not a dialogue.
I'm so jaded these days that whenever hollywood announces something to do with a franchise or show that I used to like my reaction is like: " Please don't, just let it die peacefully " .
ONE of the most profitable balls was fumbled in Entertainment to the point where No Fan cares as much as before or downright giving up on the movies and TV shows. Stories just repeat or reboot nowadays.
All for that sweet sweet ESG points lol
Better help is a joke and a con, be careful folks...
Exactly
Catwoman really said "I had needs" with a straight face. This surprised me the most in this whole sh*tshow
and if roles were reversed...
special needs.
It ruined the stake of first 2 ant man movies honestly. Her husband shuts off from the world and tried to bring her back for 30 years,her daughter grew up as a depressed kid having dysfunctional relationship with his dad,and she is just there f*king around?who wrote this?

Better Help is a shady scam that doesn't do jack shit for you... They don't help you , don''t get fooled...
False they do but the info you shared that’s was supposed to be private was sold to advertisers they had a giant lawsuit
@@chrisszostek6700actually there were a lot of complaints about things like therapists being unprofessional, cancelling, or not showing up at all (which happens offline too obviously but normally they are fired pretty fast) with no interference or measures from betterhelp to mitigate such problems.
I'm finding some success with it. It's definitely not for everybody, but it's a good first step to people that are too far gone to even leave their home. Betterhelp does require you to sort of take responsibility for yourself, which isn't easy for most that need to use the program. If only the company itself wasn't so shady..
nigga they sell your conversations and sensitive information about your life to greedy advertisers
I look forward to the takedowns more than the movies at this point 😂
Is it odd that I look forward to the review more too? It is more content for me!
As much as I love Reynolds, i'm not *paying* to see DP3. I'm never paying for another disney owned film again honestly, and that means my entire household will be Marvel/Disney/Lucas Films free.
Doesn't matter, everyone who fell for the barbenheimer marketing tactic will go see it.
Although I agree with you regarding the current state of Disney, that doesn't mean you should discount several decades' worth of movies, because they USED to make good stuff.
Then your kids get older and you hear the Marvel fanfare from the other room 💀
At this rate and its problems, dp3 is going to be arse too. Iger is forcing identify bs at the end of the movie.
Deadpool is the last one I’ll go see just because I have faith in Ryan to deliver. But I am not nearly as excited for it as I would have been a few years ago.
Buckle your seatbelts folks it’s time to get cynical

@@mc1993 💯
I love how proud he is mentioning that in GOTG 3 a planet gets destroyed like it's the first time anything like that happened in the mcu.
@@stellviahohenheim 😂😂😂
A day after watching this, I stumbled back over the 7 year old Honest Trailers' Russo Brothers' Honest Reaction to Winter Soldier Honest Trailer, that hosted the Russo Brothers. They stated they were big fans of the series, and made it a point to "Honest Trailer proof" their script. Something Kevin Feige and Phase 4+ directors had completely abandoned.
The thing is Phase Four and Phase Five *could have* been the tale of passing the torch down to less tested heroes, raise their profile like what they did with Guardians of the Galaxy, promote lesser known faces... all they had to do was *not drop the ball.*
The ball is approaching the Earth's core.
I got a better question: why the hell is it fury's fault that he couldn't find a planet? Wasn't captain Marvel the one who promised to find the skrulls a planet in her movie?
The show invented a past for Fury off screen. Which is a terrible way to go about it, cause it character assassinates him without us being able to comprehend anything
I really wanna give a huge shoutout to Loki S2 for finally abandoning the phase 4 blueprint of "stoic and superior female version is better, so let her hijack the screen time!", actually correcting their course and primarily make the show about the Loki we know and love again AND in the end tying it together with one of the best character development arcs out of any character in the entire MCU.
Was it perfect? Hell no, the Kang variant and TVA stuff were all over the place in terms of writing and they didn't didn't seem to know how to use them a lot of times. You mentioned the camerawork and aesthetic of the show and I agree, but I found the soundtrack pretty great as well. Overall it felt like a candle in the dark for the rapidly dying MCU.
It really is impressive how bad the MCU and all of Disney has gotten. I know it wasn’t over night.. but in 2019 they looked unstoppable and that was true. The ONLY thing that could kill the MCU was Disney. No other studio stood a chance.
Had a dude actually tell me to “stop nit picking and enjoy the super hero’s”💀💀 like bruh, beo essentially said “don’t think, consume product, get excited for next product, consume, risen and repeat”
Peter doesn't go to see his uncle. He goes back to see his grandpa, the man that lost his daughter and grandson on the same day.
The woman who plays Cassie in Quantumania is so bad in everything. She was just as bad in Freaky and Detective Pikachu and she doesn't have that Gal Gadot, "can't act but she's gorgeous so we all ignore that", thing going for her.
She was irritating and played an obnoxious character in Supernatural too
Kathryn Newton is her name and she’s really hot. Also, she’s really talented. It’s fair you don’t like her but just know she’s loved elsewhere
@SirGroovyBear Well, like David Hasselhoff's "beloved" singing career, she needs to stay "elsewhere"
The Multiverse, basically Marvel's equivalent of dragon balls.
At least those can only be used once per year
@@HellsFallenAngel1
And they have limits. The dragon can only do so much. I think you can only be brought back from deadness twice before it’s donezo for you.
Except there are no balls.
More like dragonball GT
Endgame truly lived up to its name, it was endgame of anything good out of the MCU
didnt better help turn out to be a scam?
Never seen a CZcams ad that isn’t basically a scam
please dont promote betterhelp as it has been found that they were selling personal and confidential data to companies to get personalized ads to them
How can a superhero, so over powered, she can fly through a sun, have difficulty fighting with such a low level villain? Her power level is all over the place. Basically whatever the script calls for at any point in the story. They wonder why no one can get into this character?
Loki season 2 is one of the best things that have happened since Endgame. Because it finally focused on character dilemma and arc. The last episode is the perfect conclusion for Loki.
The purpose of the kill switch is to goad Rocket into Returning to the HE because he's supposed to be the only one who can save him. How he devised such a contingency at such an early stage in his career, and when he never saw Rocket as a threat in the first place, I have to wonder.
Holy shit. High Evolutionary is an acronym for He.
Adam Warlock is a perfect example of marvel not understanding how to rework an idea into a new one. If they planned to have him in phase 2 and he got cut that is fine, but they could have made him a compelling character that could be used in future movies. They didn't do that and are now confused on where to go. It's like they continuously shoot themselves in the foot and it is so painful to watch.
I thought they were gonna make Vision the Adam Warlock character in Infinity War, but nope he was just as useless as he was in Civil War.
I hope Nelson Peltz takes over the Disney board and sends Kevin Feige and KK packing for this travesty and the horrendous state of Lucasfilm.
Mfs really pretend that Feige didn’t work on the X-Men movies and made 20 bangers movie after movie. Feige isn’t the problem, as a matter of fact after Endgame he gave directors more control than ever which was clearly a mistake with Taika and Zoey.
@@rashaanburns8876 The directors chosen and the stories grenlit are the problem. If he approved of all this shit, he's done.
its fun how in secret invasion THEY WASTED the oppotinity to call SHIELD..
Jonathan Majors is NOT a good actor. He’s ok. He has his moments. He’s awful in Loki S1. He’s ok in Creed. Good? Ehhh, I don’t think so.
In Quantumania, he fails so hard at being intimidating, it's hilarious. He's just cheesy. Watch his performance in that movie and compare it to Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort in Goblet of Fire. It's the same thing. They're both just cartoonishly over the top.

I guess Deadpool will make jokes, and point out the celestial in the ocean and bring up Emilia Clarke being overpowered...that will be the last Disney/Marvel thing I'll ever watch.
Phase 4 is bad because so many of the "creatives" at Disney are hired based on their skin color and gender alone. Not because they are good writers with actual talent.
This is one of the reasons that DEI is stupid and so terrible for everyone. These people graduated and got degrees that were handed to them for the same reason that Disney hired them. They never had to work hard or even learn to understand their craft.
They openly admit they don't know how to write spy thrillers, courtroom dramas, superhero action films. They say the most idiotic things all the time! Like asking why superheroes need to battle supervillains. That's insane!
Love the channel and hope you keep it up with the stellar content Cynic.
Yeah. Cause lord knows the problem Isn’t the fact they are a minority or a woman or anything like that
Lmaooo you somehow related this back to race and gender, dawg if you’re racist just say that.
Most of the post-Endgame MCU feels like a DLC.
Btw it was actually Sean Gunn who voiced Rocket during the flashback scenes.
Great review. Thanx for the time and effort you put into this.
Dude! Better Help is still a thing? Yikes
Isn't this just one long video of his other review videos?
Yea... dunno why the Kang actor was so praised. Also a very bland character, not intimidating at all. Not in the movie but especially not in Loki.
He's not intimidating. Just cheesy. Compare his performance to Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort in Goblet of Fire. They're both so over-the-top, it's hilarious.
Watch lovecraft country and you’ll see why
Never take sponshorships from BetterHelp.
No one will argue this. It's such a heartbreaking turn from such a fantastic start.
Pt. 1 was a doozy, Cynic! I'm now _quite_ eager to see what you have in store for the next set of recaps.
Beautiful video, and the ending was wonderful, it gave me a quick breath out the nose kind of laugh. Ggs
Funniest thing about Antman 3 is the fact I know another actor who farted and did a fly by on antman and cassey in a scene. Cherry on top was when paul rudd said " whys it smell like shit in here"
Any joke that you actually laughed at was by Rudd. In the movie and behind the scenes.
The real Marvel is dead. Welcome to the Disney Powerful independent BORING WhamMen SuperFLOPhero DOA Universe. You're gonna forget it all.
I appreciate the unintentional black bars that help me zoom into fullscreen on the weirdly stretched aspect ratio of my phone. Helps me watch without any loss of footage. 😅
Just found this channel and well done!! This was brilliant!! 🤙
I’m glad Stan Lee didn’t live to see how these idiots massacred his life’s work in under a decade
I refuse to support anything Disney.
I stopped doing that when there was a mention in the credits of the live action 'Mulan' thanking the police service that secures a prison for political prisoners.
I swear at least twice in the film both Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd call her "Kathy" and not "Cassie".
I reckon Deadpool 3 won't be enough. I barely go back to the first 2. We've had a barrage of films with cameos, groovy soundtrack and lots of quips.
Not quite sure why people are putting all their eggs in one basket.
I thought we were on Phase 6...
I like to think that now every time a Marvel release flops, somewhere in CA there's a red alert and an executive starts screaming "OH SHIT! ABORT PHASE! MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE NOW!!! WE ARE SO FUCKED!"
GOTG3 is the only good MCU film or project I have seen since No Way home.
It has;
-a good villain, wonderfully played, layered, well explained, and not made to say silly lines or be a joke villain.
-Quill is not made a joke and gets some good development, with this Gamora actually respecting him and seeing what her other self saw in him by the end.
-Rockets backstory is heart wrenching and not brushed aside.
-Adam Warlock is well done and portrayed as he should, a god like being who is mentally a child learning what everything is.
-Quill coming back to his grandfather is quite nice.
My big problem with GOTG 3 is how :
>Peter says "stay Drax" and says that to Mantis so Drax can't do a stupid move (for some reason they stay even if they can go at least Drax with Groot and Peter)
>They do a stupid move and both with Nebula are in the ship of the High Evo
WHAT KIND OF WRITING IS THAT, Peter made a plan and gets the win and this 2 GO WITHOUT REASON AT ALL.
I would put "Mantis sense the fear of all the people in the ship so both go to save them" and that would fix this stupid move to put 2 characters in the ship without being force by the universe and the movie or the writer 😂
Your vids getting better with every new one^^ Keep on the good work, mate! 😄
I'm just waiting on Bob and Marvel to mess up deadpool so I can completely walk away.
The only way for disney to "not" completely collapse is if they came out said nothing after endgame is canon and instead reboot and alt universe of 898 or some-shit with other characters.
Dude, I subscrobed just because of your god-like levels of sarcams in this. So good. Keep it up.
Finally an MCU followup worth watching.

Perfect timing 👌👌👌👌

That's great but it's just a long cut of his previous review videos with a quick intro and Loki S2 recap.
One thing I gotta say is how I hate the term Pseudo-Storm you kept using to describe that ugly Marvels villain. Storm is one of the hottest characters from X-Men, and comparing that African beauty to this gross mannish-looking character is an insult to the 90s cartoon and the beautiful art of the comics.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was clearly the worst one. The moment you have to fill the movie with F words, grotesque imagery/themes, screaming, and bickering, you know they did not have a story to tell or offer something of value to the audience. The first two ones are so good that you want to go back and re-watch them.
Are you reading my mind?! You're so on point.
The m-she-u in full swing, where has it gotten them?
The worlds biggest box office machine now struggles against five nights at freddys.
Talk about the biggest blunder in cinematic history.
don't worry, they'll definitely realise what obnoxious, condescending, *privileged* dipshits they were being. They won't blame the fans for being, "omg so negative, and like, misogynistic!", for pointing out how bad the character "development" and stories really were 🤣
Imagine if Tony Stark immediately defeated his captors at the beginning of the movie, simply because he's a MAN and doesn't need nobody. No confrontation with the past of his family, no vulnerabilities, no moments of last resort - just awesome MANLY MAN MANNING ALL OVER THE PLACE from beginning to end. And then he just casually beats Thanos in the first movie too. That's what they gave us with the Phase 5 "boss babe" dumpster fire.
the “m-she-u” isnt even necessarily a bad thing. theres still tons of male characters, the problem with the female ones, however, is they just dont know how to properly write a woman. i promise you that most women dont enjoy the current female heroes either.
I wish James Gunn respected Drax as much as you say he respects the audience.
I have the artbook for Endgame. When you reach the chapter about the final battle, you'll see a piece of concept art which depicts Drax pinning down a Chitauri Gorilla as Hulk is about to bodyslam it.
The artists respected Drax more than the directors.
@@dannypalin9583 Man, that would have been so cool
@@dannypalin9583he should have had some moment with Thanos in Endgame. What a waste.
can't wait for part II review
Lol the clip of Drinker laughing at your comeback 🤣
Deadpool One was a pleasant surprise. Deadpool Two was disappointing. Deadpool Three is a movie I might watch on streaming when I stumble across it two or three years down the line.
Deadpool 3 will be a good movie.

I was done after End Game. Emotionally completely drained. Maybe they did the arch too well, because everything was closed off for me personally and I had no interest in any of the characters afterwards.
Having Better Help as the sponsor of this video is 🔥🔥😂
That’s an interesting point about tending to look at your surroundings more when the characters and stories begin to suck. It’s like you’re looking for something, anything interesting to latch onto as an audience member and are confronted with other realities about the film. People don’t talk about this enough.
Brother, your editing is fucking pristine. I love your insights, but goddam if I don't laugh my ass off all the way thru these videos
Ant-Man isn't a side character, necessarily. But this Ant-Man is
Phase 5 is the best phase imo. The Marvel's changed my life.
Marvel before Disney: Brought-out the most in its readers/viewers.
Marvel after Disney: Holds-up a dirty mirror to its readers/viewers.
15:10 I really hate the telepathy guy. His power is basically useless the way it’s shown and he has no respect for personal boundaries when using it. The movie implies it’s involuntary, but you’d think if he lived his whole life with it he’d be better at coping without whining about every stray thought someone has. If I were a character this movie, I’d probably tell him to f-k off after his first scene, but then again I’d say that about a lot of characters in this movie.
Phase 4 looks like Oscar worthy material after watching Phase 5...
It goes to show me how uninterested I’ve become in the MCU, I didn’t even realise these were phase 5 properties I thought we were still in phase 4. Hell I didn’t even realise that The Marvels was even a film or that What If got a season 2
Nobody use better help it’s been exposed multiple times that they don’t do anything but point people to unqualified therapists not supply actual therapy
12:22 I *did* watch Loki first...and completely forgot that Kang was in that series. (And I *liked* Loki!)
Genuine question. Why? Whats to like about the Loki show?
@@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access I like Tom Hiddleston, and the multi-verse idea seemed interesting...so much so that Loki sometimes seemed like an extra in his own show. Now, the multi-verse bit seems played out already, and I still haven't watched Loki Season 2.
I really love guardians 3. It may not be the best but it’s refreshing and i love it
Instead of the Marvel’s, It should of been called:
Captain Marvel: Rouge Steals Captain Marvel’s Powers
Thanks!
