Pity they can’t do the Micronauts. Don’t think they own the rights. Comics were ahead of their time.
Isn’t that what people said about Guardian of the Galaxy? “Who?” It turned out rather well.Pity they can’t do the Micronauts. Don’t think they own the rights. Comics were ahead of their time.
The whole MCU was build on 2nd tier characters. At the start of the century, film rights for their big names (X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four) all belonged to other studios.
If they do it right, it doesn’t matter how obscure the characters are.
They aren’t doing it right anymore. Captain Marvel and Black Panther might have made big box office. But they weren’t good movies. None of the TV output has been great and Black Widow was mediocre as well. The formula is now well established but getting tired.
Personally I’ve seen no good Marvel output since Endgame.

Add in Spiderman FFH to that list too. Agree, Marvel hasn't been great since Endgame.Personally I’ve seen no good Marvel output since Endgame.

Micronauts, thats a real blast from the past. Had loads of toys as a kid and collected the comics.Pity they can’t do the Micronauts. Don’t think they own the rights. Comics were ahead of their time.
A movie would be brilliant.

I thought they peaked with Infinity War - Endgame was a little disappointing in comparison.Personally I’ve seen no good Marvel output since Endgame.
Black Panther was OK but not even close to living up to the hype .. it was watchable enough and Killmonger was a really interesting baddie. Some really poor CGI work though let it down. Probably a 7.5/10 movie.
Didn't bother with Captain Marvel despite having access to it through my NowTV sub - just did not like the actress and her public posturing, did not find the character appealing and the reviews I saw made it look like something that wasn't worth the time. The character had very little to do in IW/Endgame so I don't think I missed much.
Wandavision started interesting, got strong in the second act but then disappointed at the end.
Haven't watched Falcon and Winter Solider, have little desire to.
Loki had a great concept, impressive production values and some great actors but ultimately was wasted by simply awful writing.
What If...? just turning out to be an excuse to give established characters a woke makeover in the first two episodes. Maybe it'll get better but so far has not appealed.
Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness does look like it will be interesting though. I thought the first was very under-rated. Unfortunately I think that the writers will just use the whole Multiverse thing as an excuse to re-do characters to fit their social politics viewpoints.
The new batch of movies not looking very compelling - 'Shang Chi' and 'The Eternals' are a really strange way to kick off the new phase. 'The Marvels' are looking even less appealing than 'Captain Marvel'. Add to that the fact that the era of massive box office blockbusters could be over and it is not looking good for the MCU. I doubt that they can make enough back on streaming revenue from Disney+ to pay for those big budget movies.
Just returned from seeing this with my 18 year old son.
He was on his second viewing and loves the whole MCU.
Me, fek me! it was so boring and dull and far too long. I was fighting to stay awake.
Ok I may not be the main demographic but I watched Black Widow the other day and really enjoyed that. It was bright, interesting and funny in places. Eternals was just dirge.

It's the sort of story that you'd only reach for when you've run out of the good stuff - loads of thin characters and excess details that an obsessive might be interested in but most will find utterly tedious.
Maybe you could scrape it into something for TV but I doubt it - it's all low grade filler to start with and even the best production team is going to struggle to make something good from it. Definite whiff of Inhumans about it.

Depends how the fight between Feige and Chapek goes. Doc Strange has had quite a few reshoots.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
