Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

You know whats sad, the movie Marvel universe is sounder than the comic book Marvel universe. Its loopier than a twisted pretzel theyre so convoluted. Think youre gonna have a good time O! :up:

I've seen them all already, but its been a few years since i seen the likes of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2 and 3, and The Avengers. Plus i've seen them all in miss-matched order too. There is probably hundreds of little things i've miss that connect all these movies, so it should be fun.

I enjoyed this movie. There was nothing I disliked much, but here was nothing I liked much either.
"Iron Man" is one of my favorite movies, because we get to know Iron man.
Forgettable movie.
I love the first "Thor", because major characters are relevant and those that aren't too relevant are entertaining. I think it's light at right times and in the occasions it gets serious, there is a reason behind it.
I didn't like it, mainly because I don\t think Hulk is an interesting character on it's own. He is good enough as supporting character.
I liked it when I watched it in cinema and I've come to think of it as one of the best movies ever. It didn't go deep enough into superhero characters, so it avoided being nonsensical or rejectable. But it did tell us a bit about all of superheroes, so we cared about them. Also, Loki was a good villain, because he had story arc and wasn't just there to be bad.
Another forgettable movie, not bad for one watch though.
That was a mess, because it was confusing, both because it kept jumping from one place to another and because it juggled so many themes, but couldn't make me invested in any of them.
I liked this one and I think I need to rewatch it, but overall, it isn't one of the greatest as many would postulate.
If this movie had better second half and better resolution, it could have been one of the great superhero movies. But the first half of the movie is right up there with the best.
It was very entertaining movie and doesn't deserve to be trashed the way it was. But overall it was a step down to the first one, because it lacked unifying storyline and intuitive backing for character behavior, both superheroes and supervillains.
It had a cast that I enjoyed watching and light hearted tone. Otherwise it did not struck me as one of the best. Main problem I had was action scenes jumping from normal to ant size, thus lacking continuity and making it seem messy. I'm not saying action scenes were done poorly. I'm saying they should have rather been less jumpy and more on one plain of magnitude,- for me.

Wait a minute Optimus....you said Marvel Cinematic universe, then dont you have to include Deadpool too? There might be some others

Nope. Just the movies that tie into The Avengers movies.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Deadpool and the X-men films are a different franchise from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole; for example, Quicksilver in the X-men films does not have a twin sister, but the one in the Marvel Cinematic Universe does. Certain characters and items cannot be used by one franchise or another; Henry Guyrich, the liaison to the Avengers in the comics, cannot be used by the Marvel Cinematic Universe because Guyrich appeared in the first X-men movie (he was the guy impersonated by Mystique). Also the Marvel Cinematic Universe cannot have Ultron made of adamantium, because Wolverine is so heavily associated with said metal. On the other hand, Bob, Agent of Hydra, a Deadpool supporting character, cannot be an agent of Hydra in the Deadpool film because Hydra is used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the Deadpool film, he's just a mercenary.

There is a big book somewhere that details how everything fits together, the Avengers, the Guardians, Agents of Shield, and Agent Carter, plus Dr. Strange and the Defenders.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Just a little of subject, but is Xmen First Class and Day's Of Future Past linked to the first 3 Xmen movies?.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

X-men: First Class is supposed to be the prequel to all the other X-men films, while Days of Future Past is the sequel (at least the bad future scenes) to the first three, I think.

Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't the professor die in The Last Stand?.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

There was also the post-credits sequence where the brain-dead man wakes up and the female doctor says "Charles?"

It's all stupid if you ask me. Why doesn't Stan Lee step in and say, "I made all this stuff up and we're gonna use it however I say we are!"

(I know, I know - he signed contracts & stuff. i.e. Stan the Man sold out.)

Saw this on Imgur and figured it was appropriate.

Of course its too late now cause hes dead, but I wish Jack Kirby was able to "sell out". Hes equally responsible as Stan Lee creatively. Damn those Lee & Kirby Thors were pure magic, their Fantastic Four run was too.

Very insightful thread on this movie universe. I didnt know they were doing a Namor movie...they need to get the Hoff! :D

He can still suck in his gut with the best of em' :yup:

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Namor is the original Aquaman!

Ahhh right. Now that's a series thats confusing.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Shame it's out of date. Spider-Man should be between 'Everything else' and 'Sony Pictures'.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

I didn't like that either. Didn't watch The Winter Soldier because of it.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
 

Hm, I liked Captain America. It had a refreshingly different look to the other Marvel films, and stayed true to the original story. Winter Soldier was good too, but I liked the first Cap movie more.
