Title: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion Thread
Post by: Lady Grey on October 01, 2014, 08:50:02 PM

All things Marvel movie-related, release dates, character discussions etc. etc. here!

I realise that the MCU will probably need more than a very general thread. :P

I want to ask, what did everyone think of the first Thor movie? I found it a bit flat tbh but maybe I need to rewatch it as the first time I was severely sleep deprived. :/

The Thor movies are my favourite in the MCU :)

I loved it personally :) I like how it has a sort of fantasy element to it.
I really liked Thor: The Dark World as well, though I seem to remember hearing a load of bad things about it around the time it came out?

I know the watching-movies-sleep-deprived feeling as well - I went to the cinema to see Avengers when it came out one day after college - and fell asleep :/

But I do love the movie!

I'm a pretty big fan of the original Blade. Other than that I've only seen the Spiderguy films. More favourable towards the reboot, although I've only seen the first one so far. I intend to watch the X-Men series at some point.

Thor Movies are unfortunately known as a weak spot in the MCU.
This is my personal best to worst but still OK list: (Haven't seen the Incredible Hulk)

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 10/10
1 (tied). Guardians of the Galaxy -10/10
3. The Avengers 9/10
4.Iron Man 8.5/10
5.Iron Man 3 7.5/10
6. Thor: The Dark World 6.5 / 10
7. Thor 6/10
8. Iron Man 2 6/10
9. Captain America: The First Avenger. 5.5/10

I think all my choices are slightly tinted by my reading of the comics but hey.

Also, do not get me started on the X-Men movies. I consider this fair warning.

Spiderman 1 was great imo. I thought Toby was great as the hero, I like that spiderman wasn't played by someone who in no way in hell could look like a nerd. Ruffalo has this problem as Banner.
X-Men 2 was amazing. Average casting, great story, amazing use of the universe.
Iron man 1 was good, great casting, great action but kind of weak storyline.
Avengers 1 was great, not seen 2 yet.
Not seen GotG which I would like to at some point.
Cap movies are the worst imo. 1 was contrived and 2 was non nonsensical and predictable.
I liked Thor 1 but found 2 really forgettable, Thor smash more giants? Loki is a dick again?
Fantastic 4 movies I thought were about average, 2 was the better one imo. Fewer lines like 'Chem 1:01'.

The problem I have is that I worry watching some of the films (like Captain America: The Winter Soldier) will trigger me (I really can't watch some types of violence D: )

Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion Thread

Trigger you to do what? More violence? ;D

Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion Thread
Post by: Lady Grey on October 02, 2014, 01:17:53 PM

Violence-wise, Thor, Thor: The Dark World are pretty tame.

I've not seen Guardians yet, but I've been warned of one scene that might trigger me, so I was waiting for DVD release.

CG: Hahaha :D No, I've had panic attacks before (having said that, this was watching GoT type things) but it's pretty awful :(

Title: Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion Thread
Post by: Lady Grey on October 02, 2014, 01:23:48 PM

Though the person who warned me about Guardians may be wrong, it could well be fine (i.e. I was initially told Thor: The Dark World would be awful for me, and that was totally fine.)

Apart from the hugely sad part D,:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I liked it I guess, but it didn't live up to the name and come on, how predictable was it? Was there any doubt as to who the winter soldier would be? Or that a certain character made it to the credits or that the organisation wouldn't be taken over completely and turned against the avengers in the upcoming movie. Which would have been cool. Plus they need Beast from X-men as the new Avengers leader as he was in comics...Just because I like beast and it contains the part of the storyline that turns him blue and claw-ey.

Plus they pushed his good guy at all costs persona to a cliche'd level. It was okay, just nowhere near as good as others.

Spoiler tagged this, you did have a few in there - Armadillo

Well, you must be part of a not very vocal minority as most consider it one of the best.

Also beast film rights are owned by Fox :p

I was about to say Guardians is fine, but then I remembered that scene

Was about to say the same with Winter Soldier, then I remembered that scene

Dammit marvel.

Rofl Armadillo, you spoilered my post and then reposted the entire thing in a quote without spoiler'ing it also :P

I'm hoping rights will be bought. That happens all the time, right guys? Guys? Right? Right? Am I right? Guys? GUYS?! Ok I know. :(

I also know a few people that think the same as me, although again they have comic book backgrounds in marvel. Think it must be to do with that tbh.

Post by: Tom on October 03, 2014, 09:24:02 AM

I have read quite a lot of marvel comics but never in any sort of order, just whichever ones my local library has to hand.
I think my personal favourite was guardians of the galaxy having no preconceptions about it was different as I have read no comics of it. Definitely recommend it but I can barely remember anything hugely violent that happened anyway, great characters and humour. I liked captain America winter soldier but I loved the avengers movies, I just think they're awesome.

Thor 3 moved to November 2017, Black Panther now between IW Part 1 and part 2 and Inhumans is now either the last film of Phase 3 or the first of Phase 4

New spiderman film july 27, MCU, maybe reboot , maybe soft reboot, maybe not at all
but sony was pissed off at Andrew Garfield (lead actor)

2nd best MCU movie, just behind winter soldier for me.

I actually preferred the first Avengers movie to be honest...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I felt like they didn't really know what was going to be the 'big climax' so they kept going and going until the actual climax. I don't know, I just liked the first more.

Don't get me wrong though, I did love AoU :D

Trying not to get hyped as I think this movie will let me down. Not happy about the casting choices still or the choices for the horsemen buuut damn if the action doesn't look fine.
