Thanks for the review. As the MCU and Disney take over the world, these films are tired and tough to sit through, most with a 3 plus hour running time… that’s too long! As you have stated, Ironman grabbed us, and so did many of the other earlier films, and though I really loved Spiderman No Way Home, the films are getting to much too often. Ya can’t eat hamburgers every night… wait maybe we can, but you know what I mean. You have to mix it up as there are so many good films out there such as the new Leonard Cohen documentary, or the amazing Top Gun Maverick. As well as smaller films like MEN with Jesse Buckley. Anyway, thanks for the review as it was educational informative and entertaining
Thanks! I honestly never thought I'd tire of the MCU. I waited so long to see 'realistic' live action superhero movies and I hate being jaded about them now. But so many people I know are getting tired of them as well (not just the films, but all the Disney+ shows) including my youngest Phoebe, who used to really love them, so I know I'm not alone in this opinion.
I too would like something new, but I doubt the MCU is the place to get it. 😛 Your analysis is spot on: they found a winning formula, so now they don't want to change it. But something has to give eventually.
By the way, Substack seems to have kept the wording of one of your buttons that you wrote for your first post, and is adding identical prose to all posts. It's the 'Share Post with Caption' button. I suspect (but haven't tested) you can add this button manually to a draft, change the prose, and it will keep the new edit.
I note that I actually ran three WAMs before I noticed I didn't even HAVE a Share button... sigh. Every platform is a learning journey! 😂
Oh, I forgot to mention the wording! It's "As this is my first post, the biggest help you could give me is to share this with people you think would like to be part of this community." I assume if you edit this post, the change will propagate...? *waves from afar*
A brilliant, analysis — and a hilarious comparison to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — I, too, and wondering what the “endgame” for Disney’s Marvel is here. You can’t put new wine into old bottles, so can they break new ground anymore or just regurgitate formulaic dreck? I, too, am skeptical. Maybe Deadpool 3 breaks the mold with Disney; but I won’t hold my breath!
