There's this movie reviewer youtuber, Jeremy Jahns, who I find a pretty good barometer to what the honest general opinion will be; he's not an industry shill, he's decently knowledgeable about things but not obsessively so, and he's not politically biased one way or the other (at most he's shown some mild annoyance at progressive messaging when clumsily handled or too overly on the nose).

He was very enthusiastic about the MCU during the glory days, and his reviews of recent MCU things have gradually and accurately reflected the loss of quality.
Still, he seems to avoid being too harsh, and he's rated even Ants3 and Thor4 as not good, but not terrible (at least in his rating scale)

And he's saying The Marvels is bad. Not the worst rating in his scale, but proper on the bad side.

If I'm right and he's representative of the common opinion, then...
It's obre.


And by Beast I don't mean Dr McCoy

I guess the rumored scene of Kamala and Kate Bishop talking about the Young Avengers was either fake or scrapped, then

100% it wasn’t fake, my thinking is that this new X-Men and/or Wanda scenes were made as a response to realizing how fucked they were and trying anything to get people interested. Now I doubt it means they aren’t going to bring in the Young Avengers and even more doubt that they are going to make better products lol. Also yea Jahns is good people, one of the few movie critics on the toobs that doesn’t come off as a complete consoomer shill.
 
I don't blame actors for being embarrassed at being in these movies. At least back in the day before CGI you had to kinda sorta do your own stunts or all of them if you were Wesley Snipes.

These days you just sit in front of a green screen waving your arms and making whooshing sounds with your mouth like the retarded kid on the playground after too much sugar.
 
I've been saying since days of future past the way you bring X-Men into MCU is multiverse shit because it would just be retarded for them to magically appear and people hate mutants but love the avengers, but it's way too late. everyone with X-Men movie nostalgia is way over the MCU and kids and normies have been beaten over the head by everyone blanket saying the x men movies are terrible. although I still argue X2 is awesome, dofp & first class are great and x1 might not really hold up super well but is still pretty good.

bringing back beast is extra stupid because even guys with nostalgia glasses like me for foX-Men hate x men 3 and normies under 25 haven't seen it because all they know is it sucks. Yeah he was great in it, but I forgot he was in it at all until this rumor came up. I have probably seen X1 like 30 times and X2 like 70 times (I was 8 when it came out and wore that fuckin tape out) but I saw x3 once in the theater, and once on cable years later, and then once like 5 years ago with a girl who wanted to watch them all and every time disliked it and the whole movie went in one ear and out the other every time. Who fuckin cares?

and no shit this movie is dead on arrival, nobody liked the first movie or doesn't remember anything about it, and the other two stars are from tv shows your average guy wouldn't have watched or cared about. my dad, who was a loyal viewer to all of these movies forever the other day when I talked to him asked me if I was going to see 'super dyke and her two friends' lol I told him no and he said him neither. Granted a 50 year old man isn't the target audience regardless for a female superhero team up but I can't imagine anyone outside of the diehards and little girls really give a shit. Nobody I know irl has talked about it and I'm in my 20s even fuckin ant man and the flash were pretty discussed in my social circles.

I think pretty much all actors hate the whole acting in front of the green screen style, they take the marvel paycheque because its free money (and until recently was a guaranteed success on your acting resumee) but now the films arent doing as well, and none of the newer characters have picked up steam except spider man, who well, is spider man so his films will always be popular so long as they are ok.

i remember theres a scene from the making of the hobbit documentary where sir ian mckellan has an emotional breakdown because hes just been sitting in a green void for the entire day.
 
There’s apparently a planet in The Marvels where everyone can only speak in musical song.

You know, on top of everything else crappy.

That was Rogue One. Oh no, our film maker made a film without member berries that is kindof bleh!

Quick, shove some shit people actually liked in.

Is it wrong my first thought was, 'that's actually refreshingly Disney?'

Like, if there's one thing Disney should do well is fucking music right?

I hope brie Larson's butch man hating cunt has to belt out show tunes. It's just....perfect.

It's how Marvel does it. It's not just the green screen. These movies starting with Avengers are just such generic crap.

you look at the last decade of marvel films, it's the same damn thing. Maybe GoT is different, it junks with the formula. Maybe there's some rich character stuff shoe horned in at the end of Civil War.

But you compare this to other series and it's not just the green screen. The material is just really trashy and soul crushing. I think of Vin Diesel and the FF movies or Transformers. How much does it crush your soul if the only thing you ever are known for is the big green CGI monster in a series of movies watched by Disney Drones?

Yeah I heard from a relative who pirated the movie that there was a musical scene.

Truly this was the serious movie that the last trailer pretended this was.

Seriously asking, cause I haven't been watching this shit.

WandaVision was the last Marvel thing I saw. I think that show killed her character. It started out pretty unique, and there was a lot of theorizing about X-Men (even though the comics retconned her parentage), but it ended up being every Marvel thing ever made and turned her into a villain for dumb reasons.
 
I guess is time to play their trump card in the Xmen.
At least thats what redditors and other disney simps have been saying for years, when the xmen come everything will be fine again, but i dont buy it, i think the popularity of the xmen have been overstated all this time, its a franchise that has already crashed and burned twice, and its held together by a bunch of characters like wolverine that like Ironman are only beloved if they are played by their orginal old actors.
Also it will be insuferable to see disney go into the political shit of the xmen, literally falcon and the winter soldier turned up to 11 (please dont call the terrorists terrorists).
And if i have to see more Magneto on screen again i might go insane, i have come to hate that bipolar character so much, how many times have we see him go from evil genocidal to redeemed good guy and viceversa again and again multiple times per fucking movie.

Anyway i think a new xmen will do somewhat better than the current marvel garbage, but only very short term, people will get tired of disney fucking with it, and at the end all it will do is make marvels character bloat even worse.

The Marvels opened yesterday in Hong Kong. Some of the early reactions are amusing.

⭐1.5/5 - If you want a plot you won't find it here; if you want good acting you won't find it here, but at least there are cats.

If not for the gang of cats and a few funny gags, I'd have give it half a star. I'd expected trash, but the film sank lower than my expectations. The plot is boring. I left after the first Easter-egg. Captain Marvel and The Marvels were panned by everyone. They can forget another sequel; it is bound to lose money.

⭐2.5/5 - Just passing grade, not one mark more.

The good are that there are more laughs, and Nick Fury looks like the Nick Fury of old. The bad is that if you don't have Disney+ you won't know what is going on. My friend kept asking me who is Ms Marvel and what are her powers. The black girl is the worst case: I've seen WandaVision and even I didn't know she is their daughter and has superpowers. There is one single scene with female Hawkeye, and for that single scene I have to explain the whole Hawkeye TV series to my friend, who doesn't have Disney+ and has no idea where she came from. My friend has seen all MCU feature films, yet he wondered where did these many people who have lots of screen time come from. I understand Disney intends to use MCU to sell Disney+. but it is just reasonable for someone who paid actual money to see a film to actually understand it, even without having to subscribe to Disney+. I want my money back!

⭐0.5/5 - A utopia for Feminist fags, Black Lives fags, Baizuo fags.

Disney's first step to death was promoting that bitchy cunt, then the fat girl, finally the nigger woman. The three politically-correct missions saved the Universe. All the other heroes are trash. Black Panther is a woman. She-Hulk is the best fighter. The new Captain America is a nigger. Doctor Strange cannot best the new woman.

Why hero there yerrow object, rooking at your picture you sound pretty based!

It's always fun to see the reaction to Disney slop from people that haven't been culturally cowed for decades to suck it and act like it's good.

The X-Men are still relatively popular, but as with everything else, it all depends on how they're handled. If they keep the same writers with Kevin Feige at the helm, it will flop just like everything else.

Maybe you'll have a couple of hits but if those hits are of similar quality to recent Marvel output, you'll sink your brand.
 
I can't down load the video but honestly it's funnier just to go to the tweet and watch it on repeat. Right click on the video, select loop, and enjoy.

If for some reason you cannot do this, it is a one second clip of Samuel Jackson yelling at some black woman "BLACK GIRL MAGIC". Sometimes twitter can't keep up repeating a video so short so you get some fun stuttering like the servers are ashamed of what they're housing and playing. I have listened to it for 4 minutes straight and I no longer hear words, just the burbling of an old black guy trying to get a pay check.

Pictures from a post credit scene leaked. People clapped when they saw it.

Why make something compelling when you can just dangle some familiar fucking keys in front of man children's faces? Fuck these people.

I fucking hate X-Men. Why? I read the comics and not only is bad in execution, the concept of x-men is shit in the marvel universe. If they add to mcu, and not in a separate universe it will be even worse if they don't make muties to commit various crimes in order to get the hate from mcu citzens.
Since I checked out of mcu in the first doctor strange movie, I couldn't care less, I really hope x-men is shit because I hate them, and it id funnier if all marvel projects bomb, I am sick of capeshit.

By X-Men still being popular, I think we should specify it being 2-3 characters. The X-Men have no legs beyond Wolverine and Deadpool, maybe Magneto if you head into the MVC fandom. I doubt general audiences care about Cyclops, Xavier, Beast, or really any of them. The Fox movies really botched the series in the 2010s and Disney killing all traces of the mutants for a decade is sure to kill the appeal with younger audiences.
