Marvel exec: “Hear me out. We literally just bring back all the Sam Raimi supervillains”
Fellow ghoul: “Oh, like write the same characters?”
Marvel exec: “No I mean literally the same actors portraying those particular versions of those characters coming from the Raimi universe”
Fellow ghoul: “......I love it!”
Infinity War bugged me too. They teased big status quo changes, and it just made it more apparent to me how beholden to capitalism the franchise is. Like they're really going to kill off their cash cow protagonists.
But creating omnipotent items tends to ruin any tension too.
no offense but this a 'fool me twice shame on you' sort of situation. Theyre comic books & movies, nothing was gonna change.
I knew it wasn't going to change anything, I just meant that them teasing fans and watching my friends take the bait (one of them almost cried at the end of the movie like they weren't gonna get snapped back) made it even more apparent that these things were just cash grabs. But I'll admit I was into the MCU for too long.
its okay, not gonna lie I was too :( saw endgame at midnight because my friends wanted to go, and honestly, had a good time.
:meow-hug: same and same. I think it's a matter of being able to turn off your brain and being able to turn it on for critique later where it will be heard
