Well, who do I blame for the way he looks? His genetics? I don't particularly care to examine it that much.I just don't like him. Moving on...

ROFL, you're in the minority. The question was just asked in one of my Facebook/Comic groups and Andrew/Emma won in popularity hands down over Toby/Kirsten.

Actually if this forum is any judgment (and I feel like in general, it lands pretty well on point with movies), none of us are in the minority. It's split pretty close to 50/50. Which is a far cry from most good movies(actors) where the entire board loves it(him), and there are just a couple/few idiots spewing their shit opinions like that fucktard who loves the prequels. The Edge? I don't remember. But now that I think of it, I may recall you being one of those idiots.
And nothing I've posted has defended Tobey/Kirsten, or attacked an actual pairing of Andrew/Emma. It was simply saying Andrew sucks balls. I love Emma Stone as an actress, despite her being in a shit movie like ASM/ASM2. Kirsten has always been meh, and Tobey is also fairly meh. But I'm glad your facebook/comic group had a good time, can I get the minutes of that meeting?

New alternate version of Gwen Stacy is the best one so far imo.
At first it sounded silly, the whole spider-verse thing I hate, well in general I actually loathe spiderman and all the stupid plot points that get reconned 2 years later so they can do a silly villian of the month, i pretty much hate him as much as generic superman.
But this new take on Gwen, sure why not.
Oh and since this is the Marvel thread, Thor 1 gets released this week, maybe we'll see Lady Thor and why Thor can't be Thor, or they'll drag it out.
At first it sounded silly, the whole spider-verse thing I hate, well in general I actually loathe spiderman and all the stupid plot points that get reconned 2 years later so they can do a silly villian of the month, i pretty much hate him as much as generic superman.

I'm actually really enjoying Spider-Verse and it's incorporation into Superior Spider-Man. Looking forward to when it flows into Amazing in a few weeks.New alternate version of Gwen Stacy is the best one so far imo.

I saw GotG again last night at the theater because my dad wanted to go, so I appeased him and went with. It definitely wasn't as good my 2nd viewing in an empty theater. There were a total of 4 people sitting in there, so there wasn't any of the louder laughter that opening night had for me. Plus, I knew the different jokes that were coming. My favorite scene was definitely Groot doing his bam bam thing after spearing 5 guys through the chest and using those guys to beat down a bunch of other guys.
Anyway, with that in mind, I'm revising my list. While yes, the movie was still good, I'm now dropping it from #2 to #4. The reason is I still feel awesome about watching Cap 2, Avengers and Iron Man at home alone, and after last night's experience, I don't think Guardians will hold that for me. There were too many slow plot building sequences which were great for the first viewing, but not as important for subsequent attempts.
My list, good to bad:
1.) Captain America 2
2.) The Avengers
3.) Iron Man
4.) Guardians of the Galaxy
5.) Iron Man 2
6.) Iron Man 3
7.) Thor 2
8.) Captain America
9.) Thor
10.) The Incredible Hulk
Keep in mind that this is my own personal list. You're welcome to argue with it, but that's how I feel.

You could at least try to rank Cap1 higher than IronMan3, if not just to give Marvel praise for condensing the horrible origin story of Cap1, actually good, incorporating all the silly wartime sillyness, cliches, stupid costumes, and making a stupid character like Cap, cool and relevant.
Note i do not hate on ironman, he actually was one of my fav characters in the 90's to the point that i made a clay sculpture of the mark ix for art class. (didn't get a high grade btw, teacher thought it was too simplistic, no facial features, wtf he's wearing a metal helmet!)

I think my issue with Cap 1 was the Red Skull, and how he was portrayed. I also REALLY didn't like the whole racing the car scene at the end of the movie. Overall, the story was pretty slow, but that's understood being the origin story and all. They just did such a much better job on #2, that #1 is abhorrent in comparison. I got more enjoyment out of Iron Man 3, despite all of the shit I didn't like about that movie.

Almost anyone but Phoenix is a relief to me. Not that I don't think he can play the part, but because I can't see him being thrilled about reprising the role multiple times, when they needed him to. I am not a fan of Phoenix at all, but I actually really liked his performance in Her (where he pretty much was the entire movie), so I think he would have done a fine job. But I'd hate to see Marvel encounter difficulties because he's a pain in the ass to work with. This is great news for me.

Adding my own because what the hell:
My list, good to bad:
1) The Avengers
2) Captain America 2
3) Guardians of the Galaxy
4) Thor 2
5) Iron Man
BIG GAP
BIG GAP
6) Iron Man 3
7) Thor
8) Iron Man 2
9) Captain America
10) The Incredible Hulk
I hate Captain America...and the fact that they were able to make me really like The Winter Soldier speaks to how great that movie was. I didn't like Iron Man 2...I'd rather watch Tony Stark's battle with his own mortality than that. Anyway...I've enjoyed all of the movies. But, to me, the top 5 are all great and I'll watch them whenever they're on...and I'm not going to get mad at anyone for reordering that list. I just see a clear divide between those 5 and the other 5, though.

It's funny, there's a sort of reverse backlash on Iron Man 3 I'm noticing lately. When it first came out it got a lot of hate, but as we get some distance from it I think people are watching it without the elevated expectations and enjoying it for the movie it was and not the movie they wanted.
