Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 179251, post: 171067, member: 179251"] I used to care about it until infinity war. In my unpopular opinion, infinity war was the last good movie in the series. Captain marvel was mediocre and endgame was a big disappointment for me. Endgame just...I don't know how to describe it, but it felt like it was made more for fulfilling fan desired moments than to actually carry over the narrative stakes set in infinity war properly. After endgame, i just became bored of them. Bored of keeping up with them, bored of the oversaturation, and just genuine apathy due to lack of experimentation and constant repetition. Like, i used to be a big daredevil fan. The og netflix show is still one of favorite shows of all time, but I cannot give two fucks about the new show. I haven't even checked the trailer. I am that apathetic. The only superhero related stuff i have seen after endgame is no way home, Shang Chi, The Batman, and The Penguin. No way home was bad, and I regret watching it, especially as someone who grew up with Tobey's spidey. Shang chi felt more mediocre and I just sat through it for Tony Leung (he is an amazing actor; go check Happy Together, In The Mood For Love, Infernal Affairs, and Lust Cautions), though I kind of appreciate them bringing more kung fu style of action choreography into MCU. The Batman was...great visually (except for whenever they were on the rooftop with that blurry vaseline esque background), but narratively it left me unfulfilled. The only one I kind of like was The Penguin, and that show felt the least like a superhero show. Even though that show had problems (like relying on deus ex machinas by the end), I still had a great time with it. Though I don't know if that show makes me interested enough to watch the second batman film considering I just feel tired of superhero films in general. Even if they make a second season of the penguin, i am not coming back, because it felt like a great one and done deal. Everything was neatly wrapped up by the end (except for things they clearly opened for batman 2 which again, and am havng hard time convincing myself to watch). But yeah, in future, given 20-30 years, I can see romaticization for superhero movies coming back like how by 80s and 90s people started loving westerns again after getting bored to death from them in 60s. But for now, we are at that 60s stage, and I feel like I should be spending my time with other genres of movies, and other type of stories, and come back when i finally feel like enough time has passed.
