The limitations of the MCU brought to you by.....

Title is misleading - he doesn't talk about limitations. More, he talks about how the MCU took another direction after phase 1 and how it suffered because of it.

So apparently this guy has a large following - and many say about this video that they strongly disagree w/ him in this video but overall like his content...

Someone who I am friends with sent me this video, and I know this guy and his channel are very, very popular. So I watched as much as I could stomach - at first I thought he was being sarcastic or just trolling like "The Critical Drinker" (great channel)....but as I realized he was serious...I soon just turned it off.



Oh I forgot, brought to you by the guy who often uses the "It's just a movie for kids" defense for movies with glaring plot holes.

Cliffs:

Phase 1 MCU especially Whedon MCU had more significant character development and better visuals compared to Russo bros MCU. MCU problems are most apparent in the Russo bros directed films.

MCU phase 2 and 3 = not enough color...too drab and gritty.

Thor 1 has more impressive visuals than IW despite being 8 years older....

Avengers battle of NY action > anything after it

Aquaman visuals are a great example for the MCU to follow

MCU Phase 3 doesn't show the heroes caring for and interacting with normal ppl like Whedon's movies did, or doesn't seem to care about civilian deaths.

"In the first Avengers film, it feels like New York is really in danger. In Infinity War, it feels like only the super heroes are in danger"

Ragnorak is one of the best of phase 3, but still lacking in color.

Every 3rd act of MCU phase 3 is the same - big battle.

In a nutshell: "I love colors. Phase 2 and 3 have fewer colors, therefore phase 1 is the best phase".

So he has bad opinions, is not cool, doesn't recognize cool, likes worse movies because he doesn't know the difference, and should lose any audience he lucked into? Great. Please never watch, or speak of whoever this person is again.

Omg how dare he I'll kill him for this wtf

It's weird to me how many people are mad as hell about these movies. FFS don't watch them then! I didn't bitch for years when those Twilight movies were coming out, because they didn't affect me at all. I'll never understand people getting all pissed off over other people's hobbies.

It's so limited it only has a near century of comic content to pull from

Meanwhile after The Force Awakens rehash --> the sequel closed any further avenues for story telling

Can't wait to see how fucked Star Wars Nine is

Never thought Marvel of all people would completely trash star wars. The MCU are THE blockbusters of our generation, and in a few years when the disappointment dies down nobody will even talk about this trilogy anymore. Just like the prequels.

Even though their movies typically follow the same forumela

They have a WIDE history of content to grab and each movie feels unique

One movie could be about a wizzard with a time stone or a woman from space or a purple dude fighting them all

All sorts of different things

Remember Civil War? That was like a fuckin epic spy movie

Far range vs very limited range in most Star Wars movies

We're really feeling the wear and tear in this new trilogy

They've only barely scratched the surface too. They've used a handful of stories and characters out of thousands. They could make 100 more movies and I hope they do. I waited through Harry potter and twilight and all this other shit, well it's MY turn now.

Before he lost his goddamn mind, Shadow Priest used to rant about these movies. How they're making them instead of stuff he wants to see. Always had the same counter argument: what about people like me that have wanted these movies their whole life? We should just go fuck ourselves then? They make plenty of stuff I don't like, I just stay home and don't go see it like a normal person.

I just know that Captain America 1 was mediocre at best, Winter Soldier and Civil War were the superior films. Thor 1 and Dark World were probably the weakest MCU movies, but Ragnorok pulled the Thor franchise out of the dumpster fire. So I don't buy this phase 1 > 2 and 3 bs.

RedLetterMedia is a pretty great movie review channel. I'm pretty much on board with most of their opinions.

Ya I don't mind this guy. He nailed Cobrai Kai. I fucking love that show. Can't wait for season 3 and the return of Chosen!

Thor 3 was the most colorful movie in the MCU was it not ?
