It’ll be interesting to compare to buzz for Superman this summer. I think at least in the US that might be the movie that forecasts if these comics movies keep rolling or stall out.
I think Superman, FF and even Thunderbolts will do quite well.
Will they be good? Well I dunno.
I was not excited for a Thunderbolts movie being made, but then I was a trailer and thought, hey this kind of looks pretty good.
That's what I thought leaving the theatre, good not great. I like Mackie, think he does a good job. Thought the choice to go with so many antagonists really hurt the overall storyline, especially when 2 of them are very old men who are past their action movie days by a couple decades, and the 3rd one is a guy who is just really smart, that IMO they really never demonstrated well.
I was your friend too. I think I watched 1 or 2 episodes of the D+ series so I know almost nothing from it and while watching the movie it felt like I was missing out on quite a bit of context.

It looks actually funny, which I have been begging Marvel to get back to.

I love David Harbour’s Red Guardian. He’s such a riot. And I like Yelena a lot, too.
Russo Brothers Confirm Next AVENGERS Movies Will Now Shoot Back-To-Back; Promise Fans "Radical" Surprises
The Russo Brothers have confirmed that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will shoot back-to-back and drop some intriguing hints about a long-awaited MCU return that will "challenge audiences."
The two Avengers movies will apparently be filmed back-to-back again by the Russos
Finally saw Captain America: Brave New World last night and unfortunately all I can say is WHOOF.... that was bad. Talk about a bummer, as pretty much all my fears of the movie came to fruition, resulting in my least favorite MCU movie to date, and maybe by a wide margin. To me, it all just came down to a terrible script, combined with awful directing, mixed in with terrible dialogue, and lastly, a troubled production process. I could absolutely tell this movie was reshot and edited to hell. There was ADR (automated dialogue replacement) going on everywhere with edited dialogue being thrown in while you can't see the main character talking. Some of it even sounded completely different than the rest of the dialogue, which is a dead giveaway.
While I have always loved Anthony Mackie's Falcon character, I've been just begging for the storytellers to give me a reason to buy an unenhanced new Captain America with wings, and they just haven't done it. It isn't Anthony Mackie's fault either, but rather the writers of both this movie and the Captain America and the Winter Soldier series. Falcon's greatest attribute in the MCU has been his compassion and empathy, which I've been waiting to be showcased in both the movie and the series. Unfortunately, it just hasn't been showcased super well due to poor writing and a lack of direction in both. I mean, I couldn't even tell what this movie wanted to be? It seems to me like they wrote 4 different scripts with 4 different directions and ended up with a hodgepodge of all of them. No wonder the movie kept getting delayed.
Lets also talk about the complete waste of what I thought could be some really good villains in both Samuel Sterns and Giancarlo Esposito's Sidewinder character. Both were so squandered, especially Sidewinder. I mean, how did we seriously waste the acting talent that is Esposito on a throwaway character like Sidewinder? SMH.....
Anyway, those are just my thoughts and everyone is free to disagree with them as much as you want. I had a lot of well-documented problems with the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, but at least it did have its moments of some really good parts to it. This movie for me didn't really have anything redeemable. You guys know me enough now too to likely expect me to come in here critical of a lot of the CGI to this movie, which the movie was actually pretty bad, but I just don't even care to note it. The CGI was the least of this movie's problems.
Anyway, regardless of how bad this movie turned out to be, I still choose to be optimistic going forward. I do believe Kevin Feige has made some much needed background changes to right the ship and we've just had to be patient to get through the crap to finally come upon the good again. I think this might be the last of the crap. Based on previews of upcoming movies/shows and what I've seen from Daredevil reviews so far, I truly believe they are on the cusp of turning the corner, at least I hope so. Onward and upwards!!!

Watched the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again last night and found it to be pretty darn good and has me already hooked on the series. Definitely feels like a continuation of the Netflix series. Also, finally finished Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series and found it overall to be a pretty good series. It exceeded my expectations by the end. The writing, voice acting, and animation was all quite good. It always helps too when the intro song is a really rad hybrid of the old Spider-Man song from way back when with a new flair. I get into the intro every time, which happens rarely for me anymore. Makes me feel like a kid again.
In overall liked it as well. Don’t love the animation style but it doesn’t distract from my enjoyment.
I love the into song. Agreed I skip everything but we listened to the whole thing every time.
First episode was good. Excited to keep watching! The Netflix daredevil stuff is top tier Marvel
Daredevil: Born Again is off to a great start. The camera work is interesting, it stands out. In the first episode, the bar fight is one long shot with the camera pulling to the back of the bar, back out to the street, and then back to the rear of the bar again. There were several other interesting shots of characters against the new york skyline as well. Good production.
