Falcon and the Winter Soldier had a lot of great character work, but it was indeed pretty cowardly.
That stupid show accidentally made their villains 100% right and justified, and they clearly didn’t realize it until near the end so they had to swerve hard and have them randomly murder people for absolutely no reason so no one would get confused.
The stuff with Bucky was fun, and Sam’s family. But the main plot is probably one of the worst things marvel has ever done.
Bucky's book is pretty good; Bucky and Zemo is a terrible, half-assed, out of left field choice that ruins the little bit of character development he'd received over the past couple movies and leaves him looking like a huge piece of shit.

wait hold on, people like good movies instead of endless soulless garbage?
Considering one of rhe biggest "fan criticisms "of phase 4 being the lack of "and this is building to this" for more of a individualized thing (not that it actually feels all that individualized) this is probably more of refocus to make them more soulless garbage not less. To the point where you don't even need directors.
Ymmv, but for me all the new additions feel a bit directionless - like all the post-Harry Potter/Twilight/Hunger Games films that came out and were okay. They come out and you'd know like 80% of the plot beats within 10mins.
They dont feel like they're really doing anything new, and for the worst ones you're like "Oh, it's [Previous Story] with X swapped for Y". They'll find an audience and have their fans, but for Marvel Phase 4 it just feels like they're kinda throwing variations of similar things at the wall to see what will stick (seriously, how many mystical societies who have been manipulating events throughout history to achieve their secret goal are out there?)
Nothing is really capturing the attention like Phase 2 did (even Phase 1 took a while to build up steam until they hit the first Avengers) - they feel like Percy Jackson to Harry Potter, Beautiful Creatures to Twilight, or Divergent to Hunger Games. Similar stories that make you ask "what's the point?" - which is why people are hoping for a "building to..." to add meaning in case they unceremoniously putter out like the Netflix Marvel series.
They should stop concerning themselves so much with building to the next big movie and start focusing on making sure each individual movie is good. The idea that this has to lead to the next "event," is what got comic books fucked up, there's absolutely no need to do it here. Even in the build to Thanos, he was mostly just...in the background in the post-credit scenes, just do more of that. I don't care about whatever bullshit Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is up to.
They should also make their TV seasons a few episodes longer and start writing them like they're actual TV shows instead of overlong movies.
Didn’t catch any of them, so I shall now provide true internet critic:
- Falcon should have sided with the Flag Smashers, so we start with a Captain America where he is most fun; believing in America while it hunts him down.
- Love and Thunder should have been a light-hearted road trip movie with no antagonist.
- Multiverse of Madness should have flipped the script, having Wanda become the hero as Strange becomes the villain.
- Black Widow should have taken place after she died. Yeah, that’s right. Black Widow does a heist in Hell. Ghost Rider is there. Or maybe she gets to be Ghost Rider.
- Shang-Chi was probably fine. Was there enough kung fu? Put more fight scenes in anyway.
- Maybe bump Eternals along to the end of this phase? I feel like a humongous baby god busting out of the sea is… something.
- Spider-Man and the Multiverse of Madness: How come Strange real dumb? Maybe tighten it up a little bit, but overall it’s fine. Would it hold up if you didn’t know who any of the actors were?
- What else we got? Ms. Marvel? Fine probably.
- She-Hulk I heard was good.
- I did see Wanda-Vision through highly legit means, and overall it was good. The ending was constrained by forcing Wanda into a position where she could be used for the next bit, so no punishment or true change of character for her. It was all there until the rug pull though.
- Moon Knight was a thing. Probably good.
- Hawkeye loses 5 points for not being in jail or dead, but the main actresses are awesome. I saw a clip of them together and I knew instantly I had seen the best part of the show. 0/5.
- Oh I did see Loki. When I had finished I had seen Loki. Good monologue from that man. He knows how to monologue.
- What If?… Was a cartoon so I imagine it was decent to great. The cartoon gangs for both Marvel and DC regularly kill it.
- Wakanda FOREVA is obviously hobbled by not having Chad, but I bet it’s okay.
I might have missed twelve Marvel things there but that’s seems about the lot of them.

I'm a weirdo who wants a Marvel series about workers at an insurance company just trying to deal with the messed of crap of half the population of the planet suddenly reappearing five years later after everyone thought they'd died. That is such a hugely traumatic thing that has been massively glossed over. Like the Falcon and Winter Solider show was the only thing to really address it and it didn't go far enough. Spider-man 2 was just like, Hah! Kid is five years older. Everything else has pretty much ignored it.

I still think the idea of a Damage Control TV show that takes that weird absurdist tone of those covers with titles like “WHEN DOOM DEFAULTS!” is fantastic
But it would require a level of execution I would question possible at this point

The problem with addressing the snap at anything more than a superficial level is that it would basically be world ending horror, which is why it's completely glossed over.

if it came out like a year later we would have gotten two seasons of it on dc universe and then another two on hbo max before it would be canceled this year

I watched black panther 2. Vivienne still enjoys marvel movies and wants to see them, whereas I tag along when I’m in the mood.
Black panther 2 was surprisingly good, to the point where when I was watching the Big Action Scene, I was kind of thinking, boy, I wish they’d go back to talking. Because the movie at its heart was interesting, it was a big unflinching look at loss and how you can cope with it.
Counter proposal, remember when Constantine got cancelled and they said "fuck it, put him on Arrow, yes we know it's a different show on a different network in a different universe, we'll work out the logistics later"
Anyway what I'm saying is there's nothing saying there aren't superheroes in the Princess Switch Cinematic Universe

Over the weekend my partner and I watched Klaus, an animated Christmas film from 2019 presenting an original version of the Santa Claus legend
This movie was Oscar-nominated, has a 96% on RT, and I had never heard of it until my best friend recommended it to me last week. It is now one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. It is wild how good this is and how I was completely unaware of it
This thing is hand-animated and then had volumetric lighting and realistic shading applied to the whole thing. It's one of the most gorgeous animated films I've ever seen. I also cried like a baby at 3 separate points of the film

this is the first time i've heard this show existed
DC Strikes again!
Yea the family and social dynamic stuff was great. I wanted more of that.
It was mostly the same with she-hulk, the best parts were her trying to live her life while also being a hulk. I wanted about 3 more episodes of each series focusing on the slice of life stuff.

What you’re telling me is I will lead a fuller life only watching the trailers to Marvel properties.
you can probably skip those too honestly
moon knight was fun if only to see oscar isaac being a weirdo dingus for a bit, but the ending was supremely lame
This movie was Oscar-nominated, has a 96% on RT, and I had never heard of it until my best friend recommended it to me last week. It is now one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. It is wild how good this is and how I was completely unaware of it
This thing is hand-animated and then had volumetric lighting and realistic shading applied to the whole thing. It's one of the most gorgeous animated films I've ever seen. I also cried like a baby at 3 separate points of the film
Go watch Klaus
Moon Knight threatened to be actually interesting jn their fifth episode but they solidly course corrected un the 6th
every mcu tv show since has boiled down to me thinking "i do like those characters, but it is the mcu so it will take the least interesting route, don't start it", then for a couple episodes people say "this one is good! it's actually interesting and different from mcu stuff!" and then the last episodes come out and the sentiment "never mind, it did the boring options again"
still can't get over people saying wandavision was weird and interesting
You weren't impressed that it completely failed to capture the writing and feel of old sitcoms, but filmed in black and white and was immediately showing flashes of real life intruding on whatever was going on?
