Haven't seen the 3rd Guardians but I liked the Spiderman movies. No way home was great.I enjoyed Guardians 3 and Spider Man movies (No Way Home and Across the Spiderverse) but other than those they have pretty much sucked in my opinion.

What people are tired of is bad movies. And while Marvel had some clunkers in there, we are getting way more bad than good.
Let's run down the list of what has been released in the last 2 years or so.
1. Ant-Man Quantumania: I didn't think this movie was terrible and it had some legit funny stuff, but let's be honest it wasn't that good.
2. Shazam 2: Garbage
3. Guardians 3: Great
4. Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse: Great
5. The Flash: 'Nuff Said
6. Blue Bettle: Honestly I liked it. But it's still just okay.
7. The Marvels: Just okay at best.
8. Aquaman 2: ugh
9. Madame Web: Supposedly just an awful movie.
10. Morbius: It's not Morbin' time
11. Thor Love and Thunder: Truly mailed in
12. Black Adam: No words
13: Dr. Strange MoM: I know some liked this. I honestly hated this movie.
14. Black Panther, WF: Okay. 30 minutes too long again.
15. The Batman: I liked this one a lot.
That's 15 movies. Of that 15, I have 3 good to great movies, 4 movies I think are just okay and I'll never watch again, and 8 movies which I think are truly abominable and I'll either never watch or didn't even finish watching. Marvel has missed in the past but this hit rate is wayyyy to low and people are no longer confident they are going to have a good time with these.
Let me put it this way: how many movies on that list are better than Thor 2? Iron Man 2? I mean it takes a lot to get me waxing poetic about the days of Whiplash but here we are.

I’m loving it. I think they did a great job of updating the original series, while maintaining the nostalgia and feel of the OG.Anyone watch X-Men 97 yet?
IMHO the original 90s series (that has been on Disney+ a while) is still a top 5 thing ever from Marvel pretty easily. Other than maybe "Invincible" that original series is the closest we've ever had to a comic book being exactly translated to a movie/show. Probably because both were created by the same teams that created the comics and neither tried to change the look of the comic art at all.
2000 X-Men movie is what got this whole thing rolling and that early to mid 90s X-Men animated series success (and comics sales of that era) is what probably most led to the film. Really most of these "MCU" properties were kind of in the garbage bin in that era in terms of their value compared to X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman and a handful of independents that have since faded but were massive at that time.
For video game fans it was also really cool that they used all the original series voice actors for the Capcom arcade games in the 90s and early 00s. The Wolverine voice especially from the show and those games was just incredible, but really I loved all the original cast even though Storm's voice was so corny.
Along with x-men, surfer and the cosmic stuff was what I bought monthly as a kid and even had mail subscription.I know nothing about his girl so I'm kind of indifferent. I was more so digging the rumors that Anya Taylor Joy was going to take on the role.
I'm on board with XM97 as well. They nailed the nostalgia with the story-line and animation. I still find it odd that of all the mutants out there that Jubilee gets the screen time that she does. Full disclosure, I'm not familiar with the comics side of her or her powers, but it feels like the animated series does nothing to make her a very interesting character.I’m loving it.

I’ve gotten my son into the original series as well, now that Disney is promoting the reboot.

If I recall, they were going to use Kitty Pryde, who’s a much more recognizable and popular character, for that Jubilee role. But the powers-that-be wanted to introduce a new character, so they replaced Kitty Pryde with Jubilee.I'm on board with XM97 as well. They nailed the nostalgia with the story-line and animation.

If you rewatch the first season of the OG, Jubilee is pretty prominent in a lot of episodes. But I don’t think she caught on with fans, so they kind of just put her in the background during the later seasons of the series.
I think it’s kind of cool how they’re retooling her character in XM97, making her more relatable rather than just a whiny teen.
This video has some good background on that decision. It also gives a great history on how the show became to be.
Looks like it is indeed Galactus.So we getting Galactus as the next big (literally) bad then?
Yeah. Brutal. But Gambit though……..daaaaaaayumJust finished Episode 5...
... stunned.
Yeah. Brutal. But Gambit though……..daaaaaaayum
It’s definitely unexpected. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.Am I the only one… that teared up? Gambit was among my favorite X-men growing up. Rogue echoing Wanda’s “I can’t feel you” just broke me. God damn.
