Werthead Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 20 minutes ago, Deadlines? What Deadlines? said: They're making a fifth one?!? On a side note, There was one movie review from a pro critic and CBM nerd that had the line, "Greece should build a statue to Russell Crowe." I get that he was half joking but goddamn, American CBM nerds can be embarrassing at times. Yes. The film ends on the note that THOR WILL RETURN. Also, Spoiler Cliffhanger ending that Zeus - whom Thor thinks he's inadvertently killed after he killed Korg, but Korg was then okay - is a bit pissed off with Thor for blasting a hole through his chest with a lightning bolt, so summons Hercules and tells him they will make Thor pay. Which might be more menacing if Zeus hadn't been 100% a comedy character during his appearance in the movie. And Hercules wasn't played by a guy literally one-third the size of Chris Hemsworth. Russell Crowe and the two crazed CGI goats are the MVPs of the movie though, to be fair. Oh yeah: Spoiler Daryl is canon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Spoiler I'd say the beginning is the weakest part of the film and pretty clearly Taika Watiti just not wanting to have the Guardians in the film he wanted to make, so goofing to get them out- the criticism that having to link to creative decisions made by other people is the weakest part of Marvel projects is rarely more strongly supported in the films than that part and the training montage to get rid of the fatsuit- but past that and apart from the weird part where Thor didn't want to call Axel Axel I liked it, and laughed plenty. I mean, visually the nightime showdown was definitely the weakest set-piece of the film but I liked Gor, random switches of tone and all, and I liked the way Jane was brought in.

I realize these films were delayed by some time but goddamn; there are James Bond actors who hung it up by this point.

Reveal hidden contents I'm happy Jane ended up In Viking Sto-Vo-Kor. I don't think so. Spoiler Thor does not rejoin the Guardians at the end of the film, instead getting his own ship - which looks suspiciously like the Space Winnebago from Spaceballs - and adopting Gorr's daughter. I suspect we won't see him again until Thor 5, unless the Guardians Christmas Special is set during the few months he's working with the Guardians.

Winterfell is Burning Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Love and Thunder was fine- a definitive letdown from the previous film, but still a clear improvement from the other two. I agree that the Spoiler Guardians didn't have to be in this film, clearly something Watiti had to get out of the way so the real movie could begin. That said, the movie is pretty funny, even if not as much as Ragnarok, and touching at times. And I'm really glad they didn't wimp out and actually killed Jane- whose entire plot and stint as Thor was handled much better than in the comics. Also, Crowe definitively steals the show.

sifth Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think I liked this movie more than Ragnarok. I'd even go far as to say, it's the only Thor film I really liked. I will admit that the first half seemed a little too silly, almost like a Zucker Brothers film, but the second half more than made up for it, once the movie finally started taking itself a little more serious. I really like Bale in this film and his character might go down as one of my favorite MCU villains, just for how creepy he was. This was easily a better film than Doctor Strange 2, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorn Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Watched Love and Thunder last night. I kinda liked it, but it crossed the line into being cringy too many times for my taste. Maybe it's just me - I probably would have loved it if I watched it at 15 or 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Captain America 4 has a director. Quote Nigerian-American filmmaker Julius Onah, perhaps best known for helming the 2018 thriller The Cloverfield Paradox, will direct the fourth installment of the Captain America film franchise for Marvel Studios.

Falcon and Winter Soldier teased the new Cap outfit from Wakanda before it was revealed. Hawkeye teased the new threads multiple times from Kate Bishop. Other than gradually picking up a mask, a scarf, and breaking her necklace into a lightning bolt... there doesn't seem to be anything that would tie into the rest of the costume.

Actually, I think all the things you mention are meant to be the teases of the costume, like you mention from the other shows. It's just that the final costume coming together is something Kamala would put together herself based on the way she sees the world. I have no issues if it goes that way. The young woman is an artist, after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Sadly the last two eps of Ms. Marvel haven't really grabbed me, especially the last one. It seems arbitrary to have her time travel, it didn't seem like an epic success or even that special to save her grandmother, the backstory was interesting but felt both weirdly out of place and weirdly too short (glossing over the Partition may be a step forward but it's still a pretty big gloss). Dunno. Just feels like it dropped all its momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
