MCU Phase Four Sucked | The Ultimate Review Part 1

The best part about Phase 4 have been the critical analyses.

the fact they made actors like chris hemsworth and christian bale angry at them really tells how badly marvel has fallen.

Imo, Wanda didn't need to be sympathetic. Her watching her husband die in front of her was enough reason to drive her to build her own twisted fantasy. Is what she did okay? No. And that's good. I like unhinged villain Wanda. They didn't need to try and make her seem justified. Painting her in a justified light took away from the story

"Thor playing second fiddle to others" is so true. At one point, Thor was the leader of the Avengers in the comics and its so sad how they completely devalue him in his own movie to prop up Valkyrie and Jane Foster. They even took his kingship away from him, so we never get to see him come around full circle to being the arrogant violent Prince to a mature battle hardened King of Asgard. SMH.

Remember when an MCU movie felt like an event and you'd leave school or work early to go with your friends/family to watch it? Yeah, that's gone. Phase four killed that.

I feel like shang-chi would’ve been better if it just ended with a fight between him and his dad instead of the big cgi monster boss fight.

My biggest issue with Phase 4 was Love and Thunder. God this movie should’ve been a serious and dark movie. Gorr was amazing-is amazing and he needed and deserved so much more.

what happened to Taika Waititi is that he made a funny movie but wasn't so confident to add his brand of humor so he sprinkled a little bit of it, it worked because it was moderate, he get confident and starts spraying his humor in a big quantity in every scene, this is what being over confident and lazy does to a mofo

Not only did they give Andrew Garfield his deserved third act, they managed to avoid one of the MCU's biggest wrinkles; the inability to let an emotional moment sit without someone making a funny quip.

Phase 4 made people realize that the Superhero genre really could fall off. Crazy.

Andrew Garfield’s MJ save made me cry. That’s saying something. They had the advantage of playing off an incredibly emotional scene that was already masterfully executed, and yet that didn’t make it cheap. It hit so hard. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Reed Richards just pulled 200 IQ move and saved his universe from Disney and 5th phase of MCU. Real hero that bravely sacrificed himself to save his world.

what they did to taskmaster in Black Widow is unforgiveable. Such a unique character reduced to audience pandering. That and Namor, blegh.

The scene with the Illuminati was infuriating to say the least. So Reed Richards, known to be one of the smartest beings in the whole Marvel universe, who is presented a potential threat, tells said threat how Black Bolt's powers work. BB's mouth gets sealed shut. BB, who has disciplined himself his whole life to NEVER speak unless absolutely necessary, thinks the first thing he should do once his mouth is sealed is to try and say something? Then Professor X, the world's greatest telepath, not standing even the slightest chance against Wanda in HIS domain? Or Captain Marvel, who flew through a spaceship in Endgame without a scratch, dying to.....a falling statue? K Marvel. Good stuff.

Pretty sure you would have given Shang Chi a B or B+ if the plot hadn't ended up with fighting a world ending dragon and instead focused on Shang Chi's fight with his dad. When he beat his father, that should have been the conclusion of the movie.

The British cinema experience is very different from the American one. Its rather quiet when we watch films apart from the odd laugh at a good joke. We don't offen cheer films when an epic moment happens like Americans. However the moment Thor came down and said "Bring me Thanos" was the first time I experienced a British cinema audience, as one, erupt with excitement

Gor's god telling Gor how to kill him is like Mister Fantastic telling Scarlet Witch who she needs to kill first.

"I sat down and rewatched all of phase 4..." There are better, quicker, less painful ways to end yourself. Or here's a better idea, call someone and let them know you're in a bad way. No one should rewatch any of phase 4.

The thing with Far From Home is by bringing in Green Gobbie and Doc Ock you can still reuse them in the 'actual' timeline and it still feel new. They can do a Spiderman/Green Goblin film retell his origins differently and it still works and can be different as we know this universe is differnt and that is in fact cannon for this story. They have honoured the past and set up the future

The funniest part about Eternals was how they f-ed over Kumail Nanjiani. Chloe told Kumail that he would play a bollywood hero. Now, for those who don't know, action scenes and dance sequences are table stakes for any "stereotypical" bollywood hero. Kumail was categorical beforehand that he would not dance. Chloe agreed. So Kumail spent months getting ripped, because he might as well excel in the second requirement. This was a superhero movie after all. When the time came to shoot his scenes, she asked him to dance (which he wasn't prepared for), didn't let him go shirtless (which he was prepared for) and made his weapon a handgun 🤦 You want diversity? Give the bollywood hero his action scenes! He knows what he's doing. You'd have had the first brown actor in a Jason Statham-like role in any Hollywood movie ever! Why do have to make him a nerd? And to think that an Asian director would not see this...
