nah i think gotg just did what avengers assemble did but with a new cast really
i dunno man, I for one thought a film starring big dave batista about a talking raccoon and a tree man was deffo gonna suck
Not Marvel, but I saw the Titans trailer this morning.
DC are so clueless.
@andyvine characters with established books are not risks. They arenât sure things maybe, but thatâs not the same thing.
By risks I mean their films are still structured in very safe ways, with scripts that are safe.
Ragnarok wasnât remotely risky. As @kiyonemakibi points out, it is very much in the GotG vein and also they used a known director with a following (not something they do much). Given Thorâs previous outings were both considered low hitters in the MCU anything was a decent shot.
But again, their films are fun, sometimes excellent fun, but theyâre not really surprising. They are also written with too much of an eye for âbanterâ to the point where you get whole sequences of the Whedon effect: lots of quips that could have been made by any of the main characters.
Itâs not that I am surprised phases 1 and 2 were safe itâs just that Civil Warâs complete failure to give us any real sense of consequence or depth to the feud showed Phase 3 just wasnât interested in breaking out of that.
Edit Iâve not seen either Ant Man movie or Homecoming
And Michael Pena
Iâd like to see it I just canât be arsed paying 4 dollars for a 3 day window as itâs not on any current streaming platforms.
ragnarok broke from that tho, no other character than hulk could call thor âbaby armsâ, no other director would go off on the surreal riffs that that rock guy did. using a director who was known for this sort of stuff is a risk compared to the rest of the films and it paid off, coz the first two thor films are really straight laced and srsbsnss, whereas ragnarok is properly funny and feels more like a comic book in its narrative structure than maybe any other marvel film
FFS, okay. Homecoming is Lynchian madness Iâll accept that the entire MCU is the greatest cinematic achievement since Kubrick made a good film.
Mate, the first Thor movie is broad comedy for large sections.
You are nuts if you think that one liner from Hulk had any impact on 99% of the audience. Itâs a good film, I enjoyed it a lot but it wasnât a risky proposition, IMO.
Youâd have to find me a lot of articles leading up to itâs release that show it was considered worrying
esp since ant man and homecoming establish that lighter tone that made ragnarok possible
Sorry I just donât really see how not seeing Homecoming means that I canât say that of Phase 3? The rest are as safe as I said so Spidey would have to be out there to change phase 3 as a whole
come on now, the comedy in the previous thor films was crap. im not saying it was a financial risk, im saying taking the crappy comedy from the first two thor films and giving it to the man who made what we do in the shadows is a bold move
Ant man 1 is not Phase 3
who cares
Because I was specifically talking about Phase 3
Mate last time I fell for this I ended up watching the first Tomb Raider film to confirm it was exactly as I expected (actually it was worse but no one could have predicted how bad that film was)
Spider-Man Homecoming is actually really really good yo
Oh dear
Man I read some of those tweets⌠fucking grim. What a weird dude. How has this only been surfaced now?
