      Guardians 3 was good.

      Mostly because they weren’t trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.

      On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.

      Shang-Chi wasn’t a bad movie… Not one I’m likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie…

      Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don’t have a full plan for what’s next.

      They’ve lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.

        I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.

          I didn’t even bother to see Love and Thunder because I have no desire to see how hard they dropped the ball on Gor. I say this as someone who loved Ragnarok

            Let me summarise for you:

            Attachment issues and fucking goats with one or two cool moments. There were some cool ideas that get overshadowed by absolutely stupidity
