Marvel Cinematic Universe

The second is divisive. Honestly I just found it to be a slog. Yandu was definitely given the best parts of the film with Rocket, but the rest felt like a bullet list of events. Star Lords dad doesn’t really do much yet it kind of acts like he does. The spend the first half calling him evil, then he has one baseball game with Star Lord which then he isn’t, then immediately after he is. I cannot tell if this was a massive joke or just rushed development, either way, it just came off like stuff happened. The Star Lord trio’s section just felt like a series of events with jokes that dragged during it such as the penis joke that just kept going on.

I remember Rocket and Yandu getting some nice scenes, but half the film just seemed to have no planning. I was getting out of Marvel at the time though, so maybe my own biases got in the way, but I do remember some critics also feeling much the same way, primarily Jeremy Johns who placed it as an only fun when drunk movie.
I... actually think the second one is a bit better than the first because it doesn't have to have an infinity stone in it that could be resisted by the power of friendship or whatever. I will agree that the plot of GotG 2 is a mess that's only carried by character moments that help set up Infinity Warn

Funny you should mention that particular scene. This MCU stan has jumped to the defense by pointing out another piece of CGI people noticed.

I hate this mindset that mcu stans have that no one notices faults in mcu movies until way later when in reality those faults and flaws are noticed day 1 but they are drowned out in a sea of opening movie hype.
 
I saw Dr. Strange this morning. Bruce Campbell was the best part of the whole film. Stay until the end of the credits.

If you go and see it, read a summary of the Wandavision show or you'll have no idea what's going on.

I can't believe they spoiled the fucking Illuminati in the trailer, especially Professor X.
Mr. Fantastic
Peggy Carter Captain America
Monica Rambeau as Captain Marvel (better than Brie)
Professor X (they play the X-Men cartoon theme lololol)
Baron Mordo
Black Bolt

Oh yeah, Charlize Theron shows up at the end in a purple coat. No idea who she was supposed to be.

No Tom Cruise as Superior Iron Man?

Fuck's sake. Only in Current Year do you have to do friggin' homework in order to watch a capeshit movie.

If this trend continues going forwards, this is what’s going to kill the MCU. I don’t know what the viewership numbers are for Wandavision but I’d be surprised if it even scratches 30% of the moviegoing audience.
