What I've seen and enjoyed:
X-Men (from the 2000's). First Class. Days Of Future Past. Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Blade 1+2.
What I've seen and didn't enjoy:
Iron Man. Avengers 1. The Amazing Spider-Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Daredevil.
It feels like Marvel's earlier movies were better? From their MCU stuff I get the vibes of tokusatsu but it takes itself way to seriously and the Joss Whedon banter is so reddit it hurts.
Thoughts?
I'll second Logan, Thor: Ragnarok, and the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
I didn't see it mentioned in this thread, but Moonknight is pretty good.
I finally watched The Marvels and liked it more than I thought I would, but I don't think I could actually recommend it to someone.
Wasn't that the one where chuds got big mad over Captain Marvel being a woman even though she's been a woman in the comics for like a while?
The Marvels is the second one - it's got Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau in a kinda silly adventure movie. I'm sure the
s were made about it, too. It got a few sensible chuckles from me, but I don't think I could recommend it. It was better than Aquaman 2 I guess ![shrug-outta-hecks shrug-outta-hecks](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7cc4b291-507e-4aa2-9ba6-35d81eb4a08a.png)
The first one, Captain Marvel, is a shitty
air force ad.
Yeah
The original Captain Marvel died before I was born so it's really weird that anyone would get mad about it
Moon Knight was surprisingly well done, I have always liked the comics but thought making the transition to TV/Movies for Moon Knight would be kinda difficult. I think they did a good job.
Oscar Isaac does a pretty great job with his performance in it. That probably helps lol.
Are there any runs of the comic that you'd recommend?
I thought the 2006 to 2009 Charlie Huston (writer) and David Finch (Illustrator) was really grime-y and heavy in a non-edgy way. It was kinda impacted by the big "Civil War" event (I'm generally anti-"Massive multiple comic super events" as I think it usually doesn't really work) but I thought that whole run was a great run. It really explored Khonshu as a character which I dig. I always see Moon Knight as a "Warlock"/"Anti-Paladin" style character and I the relationship between Khonshu and Moon Knight to be the most interesting dynamic of the comic.
I also dig the "Mr. Knight" alter ego run as well. Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey I think was 2012 or something like that. Great art and strong writing, just plain good-ass comic.
Of course read the OG comics too, I only read the first ten from 1980's but they were pretty damn good.
As with all comics there is just so much damn to read, but I have found most of the Moon Knights to be solid.
Too true, thanks for some possible jumping in points. I just started reading Berserk this week, so who knows when I'll give Moon Knight a shot lol
