Honestly, I still believe there can be good Marvel movies. Just pull back on the number of releases. And not every movie needs to be Avengers Endgame successful. They are trying to do that for every release and it is understandably backfiring hard.
If they went back to doing standalone movies with very loose tie ins (or none at all) to the MCU at large, instead of every movie feeling like a 105 minute trailer for the next movie, more people would see them.
One of the best things to come out post Endgame (for me at least) has been Moon Knight, precisely because it stood by itself with no connection to the MCU at large.
Once they realize that movies can be reasonably successful without having to tie in to one overarching, decade spanning plot, they’ll go back to being good.
Possibly my favorite film, full-stop, I’ve watched it probably 50-ish times. I was a little trepidatious about watching this fan edit. It was an odd experience–but in a good way: New, but at the same time, very familiar…
it’s very professionally done–if you were seeing the film for the first time, nothing would feel ‘artificial’ or tacked-on.
Batman Returns (1992): The scene of the cats congregating around Selina Kyle after Shreck threw her out of the office window (and before she’s reborn as Catwoman) is so iconic. I remember seeing that scene on television when I was a child. Danny DeVito’s performance as The Penguin is also mega.
Blade Runner (1982): My eyes got heavy while watching it because all of the scenes are visually dark, which is certainly intentional. The world-building is amazing.
12 Monkeys (1995): It was interesting to watch this movie after having seen the TV series when it originally aired. The TV series is my second favorite sci-fi show, but I thought the movie was fine.
I’m excited to see what is next after the superhero trend dies and goes the way of the Western. In 20 years maybe we’ll get the Unforgiven of cape movies.
I can definitely see video game adaptations being the next big thing, with the successes of Sonic the Hedgehog, The Last of Us, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Gran Turismo, and Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Somewhere along the line, Ryan Gosling has become one of those actors where I want to see his movie based oh him alone. But this team actually adds a ton to the interest. Emily Blunt, Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and apparently Lee Majors is involved. And also David Leitch directing, I’m in!
Holy shit, this movie looks awesome! This is definitely going to be a movie worth paying tickets for. Great visuals, stunning effects, powerhouse cast with fun dialog. March can’t come soon enough!
