That is a GROSS oversimplification of what they said. Even they gave it a middling rating. Not liking this movie is one thing, but claiming that this is the WORST marvel movie is absolutely ridiculous. This is Citizen Kane compared to Thor: Love and Thunder or The Marvels.
Also it is a fact that some people don't like the idea of a black Captain America. Which is okay and alone doesn't make you racist.
So you are defending this and believe this scenario is plausible?
Completely agree, it may not have been the best but this was solidly in the middle and nowhere near the worst Marvel movie.
Thor: Love & Thunder came out in July 2022 and that was when I threw in the towel. It was a DISGRACE given the talent. In the SEVEN movies since then i would say that only GoG3 and Deadpool3 were arguably better. To the people saying this is the worst movie -- are we to believe the Marvels was better?
Also, this is the first time I felt any hope that they were returning to the days when they had some sort of a grand plan.
This is why we can't have nice things. Even here many people are just looking for a fight by turning everything political or looking to spar on the wokeness of movies. Even legitimate disagreements are often laced with personal insults... why? Such encounters are rare in real life.
But once in a while I stumble on to good discussions. I wonder if the trolls are a vocal minority, or if this is a true reflection of society as it stands today.
I also got it. More impressed though that you started a whole post just for the joke.
More than tone to me the most important thing is that whatever rules you establish for the character's power, they should be consistently followed. Also everyone else should act logically and respond realistically to the laws of nature.
When aliens or magic is involved I guess anything is possible, but if you have wings made of feathers it irks me that you can fly without flapping them as shown in many versions of Hawkman.
The She-Hulk and Kraven origins in the recent series/movie make that seem like a documentary. They didn't even try to make those remotely plausible.
Superman/Batman/Green Lantern/Flash are not so hard to go along with, I manage to suspend disbelief and roll with it with limited effort.
However when you get into Hawkgirl/man and even Mr. Terrific, that's when my brain starts asking too many questions and the spell is broken. But I suppose its all equally outlandish.
Judging from the number of things in quotes in the original post.. yes I realize expecting realism is a losing battle. However there are levels to suspending disbelief, and I am beginning to get the sense that the studios are beginning to steer to a much younger demographic and more frivolous story lines instead of exploring serious themes. Perhaps it is time to grow up and move on as some have said. However genre such as fantasy and sci-fi have managed to pull this off and endure - no one says these are just for kids.
EXACTLY!! If I saw myself, the first thing I would think is that is my new best friend. I would go out of my way to cooperate.
But I think this is the point. The original characters were bad people, and there first instinct was to harm the others, and assume the worst. This may not have been true for their counterparts in the other realities. There was a line, "what if we are the evil ones".
