The House of Gucci director, who has spoken negatively about comic-book based films before as well, was asked by Deadline about his main gripe with the superhero genre.
true and i did like thor 3 for similar reasons. outside of those I can't think of any marvel movies i actively liked except maybe black panther just cause my friends were enjoying it so much when we watched it. the CIA shit was so lame though
All movies where the villain has better politics than the main character are trash tier in my opinion, and the fact that they've turned Killmonger into CIA and then into a literal Hitler absolutely cemented Black Panther as one of the worst movies they've ever made.
Also, I dislike Black Panther because it's Thor. Not good Thor, it's not Thor 3. And not bad Thor either, it's not Thor 2. Just Thor, the first one. The main characters are aliens or basically aliens despite living on Earth/being based on Earth mythology. Technology is advanced enough to be indistinguishable from magic. Inheritance is the central theme of the movie, and the main character has a half brother. The main character is a boring cardboard cutout with no emotions and everyone loves the movie for the charismatic villain.
Maybe I would've liked Black Panther if they didn't make the villain into CIA and if they let him alive so he can redeem himself like Loki. But of course we can't have a revolutionary black guy mad at whities in the MCU, especially as a hero, so of course he had to die.
I so, so, so wish they would've killed Chadwick's character so the Killmonger would take his place as the king and Black Panther to do all those radical reforms, that would've been so fucking cool... That's the number one reason I hate that movie more than any other movie in the MCU, wasted potential.
Or imagine if during their "these americans are actually Vacandian spies" montage we got to see Obama, who, in the MCU, actually **was ** orn in Africa and actually is a spy! I know Obungler would've never done that cameo, but I just can't stop myself from imagining all the chuds' heads exploding from rage. Just imagine Alex Jones' reaction for a second... That would've made the movie a 10/10, the best movie ever made. Another missed opportunity.
I know both of these are unrealistic, but I can't control how I feel.
