I loved it! I'm a big Superman fan and I feel like it hit all the right beats for his supporting cast, himself and Luthor. Also had a lot of extra characters, which made me worried the movie would feel too busy, but it kind of just didn't. Guy Gardner is perfect in it.
IMO Jesse Eisenberg wouldn't have been out of place in this movie. If you swapped him and Nicholas Hoult, nothing would change.
Everybody yelled at each other and men had the emotional maturity of a 10 years old?
Wouldn't be the first time a writer mix up things that we the audience know (because we saw them) with things that are generally known by the characters. Can't remember examples, but I remember thinking "we the audience know, not the characters".
The Batman villain?
There is no doubt in my mind that the MCU has been overrun by damn-near pants-shitting morons since Endgame, but there are moments when I wonder if the cadre if critics that were only too happy to pounce on the "box of scraps" thing because they're now just more inclined to dump on Marvel out of glee for doing so rather than because they care about it ever being good again.
In-universe? I'd imagine Tony loudly telling people that he built it out of scraps at every opportunity. And I also imagine the public for quite a while having a voracious appetite for anything Iron Man related. And don't expect that to fade over time. It would increase even more after the New York incident when he flew a nuclear missile away from several million civilians. And it would increase yet more after Tony sacrifices himself to stop Thanos and bring back half the world's population.
I don't think it is unfounded. It's not an in-universe criticism that Riri steals stuff to make her suit or that she's unable to progress due to lack of grants. It's a viewer criticism because the viewer knows it's already established that Stark was able to do this. Riri's entire story being that she feels it's unfair because she can't accomplish the same as Stark and blaming it on his wealth, is something viewers can see is flawed.
To add to this: Tony Stark made something out of nothing. Whether or not anyone knew the conditions of how he did it is unimportant. She is unable to progress because instead of choosing something doable at her level, not even post-grad, she chose to try and recreate something Tony Stark created well into his life time and as a giant and genius in his field by that point.
Its Garbage, barely better than Man of Steel.
I liked it. Didn't love it, but it's a better superhero movie than anything that has come out since Endgame except for The Batman. It's not overtly pozzed, the white guy is allowed to be a hero instead of an antihero or support character or being told to do better, there's no gay postmodern moral ambiguity, no white guilt or misandry or black girl magic. Just good and evil, right and wrong. They can't really use him as a whipping boy for white men without implying that white men are inherently superior to everyone else, so the IP is inherently inoculated against that. I wouldn't put it in the same tier as The Batman and Spiderman Homecoming, but it follows the formula that built the genre and which Marvel has been shooting themselves in the feet trying to deviate from for the last decade. Worst I can say is it's a big gunny.
Big meh imo. It kinda just runs in place depending on your mileage. Lex felt a little too amateur, Guy Gardner and Terrific were fine.
iirc he was credited for the Milk And Cheese merch appearing on Roseanne
Yet they also think billionaires are the cause of all the world's problems, and that they need to give others their money. Net worth? What's that?
She even says that she could have built Iron Man suits for first responders and then doesn't do it because it won't make her famous or something. Why make millions when she can steal thousands?
