as much as i hate modern films, a good majority of the MCU films are fucking awesome. probably the best series of films since the LOTR trilogy. the LOTR trilogy being the best film series since the OT Indiana Jones films and OT star wars.
Not sure if more complete interviews are on the blu-rays but there's a few clips from Jon Favreau giving his thoughts from a decade ago.
well to be fair, it didnt bust out of the gates big baller awesome. Iron Man was a huge hit, but Hulk was weak and Thor was a meh movie and the first Cap film was rough around the edges. i liked the first Cap film, but thats because i am a Cap fan. even RLM shit on the movie. the whole MCU really took off with the first Avengers film. i think if they didnt hit that out of the park, this whole thing would have turned out differently.
the only goals they had was
I thought the first Cap film was great and I am not a Cap fan.
If you delete everything having to do with Jar Jar and Gungans and cut 50% of Anakin's lines and gave more screen time to Liam Neesen it'd be a classic.
i saw Cap 1 in the theater with my dad and i mostly loved it, my dad thought it was just OK, he was a Cap fan too. it had some pacing issues and Red Skull and the whole nazis within the nazis was a little silly. Return to Castle Wolfenstein did it better. but yeah overall it was good. Winter Soldier completely owned it and is probably the best MCU film outside of the Avengers movies. ive seen Winter Soldier at least a dozen times, maybe two dozen. it pretty much was the structure they built all the rest of the MCU films on.
SIlly aliens are pretty consistent with Star Wars movies, and yeah, Anakin's dialogue through all 3 movies is what really drags the whole trilogy down.
Having an actual story and a universe helps.
Why am I not surprised that you aren’t into well detailed, well argued thinking. I bet you think reading is kryptonite too, jogger.
