How do you Rank phase 4 so far?


There has been no oustanding property for me so far. Wandavision had a disappointing finale. Loki ended up being about Sylvie. TFAWS and Black Widow just kind of sucked. Shang Chi was not bad, but it just tasted bland to me. I didn't care that much. What if surpassed my expectations, but I'm not that into animation.

1. Wandavision
2. What if
3. Loki
4. Shang Chi
5. Black Widow

Haven't watched any of What if yet.

I don't rank it, because none of it interests me. As far as I'm concerned, 'Endgame' was the end.

You win the award for the most pointless post of 2021. Well done.

He's got a valid point though, they really can't top Endgame. Anything after that is inevitably going to be a letdown.

1. Loki (Not perfect, but I liked the first two and the last two episodes very much.)
2. What If (Exceeded my expectations, for an animated show this is quit fun to watch.)
3. WandaVision (Nine parts was maybe to much, and the final was a bit to marvel-esque.)
4. The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (I like the parts with Sam, Sam's family and Bucky the best.)
5. Black Widow (I really wanted to like it, but it is just meh, not bad, but just meh.)

I have not seen "Shang Chi" yet.

>> the final was a bit to marvel-esque <<


A Marvel adaptation was too "marvel-esque"? Huh?

reply

Yeah, I just want the newer marvel stuff post-endgame to end different, make some risks.

The only thing so far that has interested me enough to watch it is Shang-Chi. It was good, not great. Like a 7.5. It MIGHT make it into my Marvel Top 10 but, if so, it will be near the bottom.

Everything I heard about Black Widow was disappointing so I skipped it. Everything I have heard about Falcon and Winter Soldier makes it sound fucking awful.

I canceled Disney+ after they fired Gina Carano so I likely will never see anything that's a D+ exclusive. A few of the movies I might catch if they look especially interesting, but I feel like the Marvel train has run out of steam.

Some of the DC stuff is still of interest. Where's Aquaman 2?

reply

Loki had some great moments, shame it was gutted by the fact that Loki was turned into a whiny quivering sap who followed Sylvie around like a lost puppy asking her what to do next.

reply

I haven't heard much at all about the show, but if it's not actually about Loki, then that's quite disappointing.

That reminds me of the reports I've heard of the new Netflix He-Man show not actually being about He-Man but about some female character.

"Rank" seems to be the appropriate description, IMO. The whole thing is shit.

reply

WandaVision
Loki
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Black Widow

I can't rate Season 1 of What If... just yet.
