Anyone else moving on from the MCU after this? I don’t really think there’s any other story that needs to be told and I don’t want another 10 years of these movies consuming my life. Even Spider-Man looks kind of same-y.
Anyone else moving on from the MCU after this...
Don't know why I'm enjoying bait with my coffee, but no, I don't plan to, and I don't see why you would, as a comic fan. This is pretty much the only thing propping up comics, which are on life support. They're entertaining enough, and I can make 3 hours every couple of months to go see something baseline entertaining with my friends, who seem genuinely eager to know more.
I'm not sure what more you could really want as a comic fan. Is it really just a case of being mad that other people are now invested in your hobby and it's not exclusive?
We'll see. I'll still hold onto it if Silver Surfer is added
I was then Disney brought Fox and said the Fantastic Four and X men are going to be in the MCU so I can't miss that.
I'm legit more excited for the Spiderverse movies. That film was a breath of fresh air
Why wait? Leave now, I did
Nope. I'm in this for the long run, pal
I’m done now. Feels good.
I’m a comic fan, not a movie fan. Aside from a tight 90, movies bore me. I’m thinking about cooking dinner by the time they’re over. It’s that simple.
Specific movies yeah but not entirely
I want Guardians 3
I was really only sticking around for the end of RDJ's Iron Man as he has always been what kept me invested, so yeah. More interested in Spiderverse after this, unless they do something truly more interesting with the X-Men than we've had before.
I'm not seeing Endgame.
I prefer to stop at Infinity War when Thanos wins and Captain Marvel doesn't exist.
I think you're retarded if you didn't stop several years ago. You're going to watch heaping shit like Thor 2, Doctor Strange, or Ant-Man just because of the studio that made it?
I already moved on. It's too much.
Dr Strange and Ant-Man and the Wasp were easily two of MCUs best movies.
Im afraid you have the shot taste user.
Um, I think many people will be getting off the MCU train. It's very tired. I have doubts most of the main cast will stick around. Even if two or three of them leave... I can see more wanting to leave with them too. They've told the story. It'll be like beating a dead horse.
If it does continue you'll probably get a line up like this:
Black Panther
Antman
Wasp
Vision
Captain Marvel
Scarlet Witch
The guardians director getting fired basically fucked the space opera direction for the mcu. Which could have nose dived into the fantastic 4 catalog of cosmic enemies now.
Maybe we'll see a 20 year run of x-men movies leading to final battle with apocalypse.
You said exactally what i think
Somehow I'm still always surprised that Marvel Drones instantly react to any criticism of their brand by assuming the critic must be a troll or a bitter manbaby.
The movies simply aren't that good. There extremely derivative corporate slop designed to appeal to the broadest possible demographic and rake in as much money as possible. I don't hate the movies, I think they tend to be competent enough and generally provide, as you say, a baseline of entertainment. But honestly, I'm finding it harder and harder to invest so much of my time into something that is "entertaining enough." I want something that is legitimately good not "good enough" and if my reaction to the MCU is consistently "that was alright" then maybe it is time to stop watching.
And as a comic fan, I honestly think the movies have done more harm to the industry than good. Look at the state of Marvel and DC now compared to before the MCU began. I don't know a single comic book fan that's happy about the state of mainstream cape comics, they legitimately seem worse than ever. I can't say I would mind if cape comics just died out entirely, all that is being produced right now is shit and maybe if the industry actually had to innovate and progress the medium to stay relevant instead of propping up stale pop culture mainstays from the fucking 60s to appeal to an ever-shrinking demographic of nostalgia obsessed collectors then the comic industry wouldn't be in such dire straits.
We inbest too much energy and attention on this. Comic book fan us not my whole self
I was looking forward to Guardians 3 but it'll probably suck without Gunn. I'll check out Doctor Stragne since the first was good and I like the character. There's nothing to look forward to with Cap, Tony and Thor dead/retired. MCU Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel put me to sleep
>he doesn't want movies to consume his life
>he posts on Yea Forums all day, everyday
Why are these subhumans so hypocrite?
A lot of my interest in the MCU is kind of contingent on having familiar faces to lead it, so potentially losing both Cap and Stark along with others from the OG 6 really put a damper on things. It feels weird to have such recently established characters take the lead. That being said, I'm still game if Thor and Rocket survive Endgame.
It’s led to a golden age of marvel reprints, though. If you like old comics; it’s pretty cool.
But yeah, the movies blow.
If i like a new movie or character I'll watch it, if i don't i won't. What's the need to be so dogmatic, other than to write stupid bait like this on a Philippine basket-weaving forum that is?
we let parasites in and theyve co-opted our pasttime for mainstream dollars and agenda. its over. been over since marvel started shitting on its fanbase but people here are like whipped dogs. we'll stay till they beat the love out of us and then itll just be whoever actually enjoys this soulless disrespectful pandering and empty bullshit.
i cant wait for the day when big 2 threads dont exist. they people currently in charge are abusive and they hate us and everything we loved about comics.
marvel and dc are lost to the parasites. we're just too sad to admit it
This. The only Spidey movie I really liked besides Raimi's first one
I agree with these 2, to certain extents
>If I want to watch them, 4, 5 hours out of my year isn't too bad
>I like most of the movies enough to give them a pass
>There are a decent amount of comics I have, or plan to buy that may not have seen a quality reprint for years if not for the MCU
i've already lost interest in the other movies aside from endgame at this point, i wanted a galaxy 3 but god knows if that's even happening now. definitely dropping after this unless they put something out that really gets my attention, which i highly doubt
These movies come out once in several months
How tf are they consuming your life
>Two movies a year from one studio
>maybe 6 hours total
Maybe autism slows time
No, Marvel movies do.
>consuming my life
Can't you just, I dunno, see the ones that interest you and skip the ones that don't? That's what I've been doing for years already. Didn't see either Ant-Man movie, Homecoming, or Black Panther until they hit home video. I mean I get what you're saying, I'm also looking at Endgame as an effective "end," but consuming your life? They're just movies, user, you're spending like 4-6 hours on them a year.
>being this mad about two movies a year
Do you get this mad at popular weekly tv shows you don't like?
I don’t watch TV, and I’m not mad. You seem a little worked up. I didn’t mean to attack a central pillar of you identity. Oops.
Again, it's two movies. It's just entertainment. You're the one having your "life consumed"
Honestly, and the shills will think this is bait, I'll likely move on, yes. Because it's quite clear they want the new ones to be for demographics that I don't fit and that's fine. I supposes they've made enough money off of straight white men.
Though I will say if endgame ends with two planet sized eyes and a silver sparkle (like when team rocket used to get launched into the sky) then I may settle in for some galactus kino. Only if it doesn't look like it'll take more then 3 movies to get there tho. I'm fully checking out if the story is onkygiubg to progress every three-five years like now.
>I'm not sure what more you could really want as a comic fan. Is it really just a case of being mad that other people are now invested in your hobby and it's not exclusive?
It's cute that you called OP bait when you're doing the same thing.
>Because it's quite clear they want the new ones to be for demographics that I don't fit and that's fine. I supposes they've made enough money off of straight white men.
What on earth does any of this even mean
>Anyone else moving on from the MCU after this?
I've always just watched what I felt like watching. I watched Black Panther because that was a movie I was interested in. I didn't give a shit about GOTG2, Ant-Man, or Doctor Strange, so I didn't watch.
No, that wasn’t me. I’m just here for the (you).
I'll stick around for GotG and maybe Doctor Strange, but other than that I'll probably only watch any movies they make about more minor characters. Young Avengers, if they ever get around to that, or maybe New Warriors. Stuff like that.
I never cared about the MCU, but I guess having the X-Men franchise should breathe new life into this Universe?
I think people are being kind of silly with the "moving on" stuff. You can watch or a movie or not watch a movie. It's not a big deal. They're just movies.
If you were a superfan that went to every opening, I guess that's different but I don't think there are actually that many who went to EVERY opening and every theatrical, and if you're just saying you're not going to be doing that in the future either, it's not a big deal, is it?
Everyone who is saying they're moving on will probably end up watching some of the future MCU movies as some point, even if only as TV showings on FX. There's nothing good or bad about that, that's just life.
Given the increasingly rapid turnover of remakes (from +20 years to ~20 years to -20 years) I am expecting a reboot of a new Tony Stark et al. But if not that, then I expect they'll try for to be flagship. But then again they've done well for themselves with non major characters so it'll probably be a lot of side stuff.
I'd like to see the capeshit die out because I'm tired of it. But what replaces it? I fear the monkey's paw.
Oh look, it's another "Superhero fatigue" thread
Well I'm still planning on seeing FFH and I gotta see how their version of the F4 and X-Men will look like
>I don’t really think there’s any other story that needs to be told
I don't think Infinity Gauntlet necessarily "needed" to be told before we got that Thanos tease 7 years ago either
I want to but at the same time I really want to watch the new Spider-man movie
>And as a comic fan, I honestly think the movies have done more harm to the industry than good. Look at the state of Marvel and DC now compared to before the MCU began
That is not the MCU's fault though. The comics and movie divisions have been separate and just separated more over time. It is purely the comics' division's fault that they turned out that way.
>consuming my life
speak for yourself nigga, i'm pretty sure these have barely "consumed" even 1% of my life since 2008.
>I don’t want another 10 years of these movies consuming my life.
Stop following information on them religiously then you dumb fuck. 2-3 movies a year is not consuming your life. Disney as a studio puts out three times as many movies as that a year. That could be considered life-consuming
I'll probably start to pick and choose what I want to see after Endgame. I'll probably see Far From Home, skip Black Widow because I don't see Natasha holding her own movie, everything else is up in the air.
Endgame should be a hard end to the MCU, or a stopping point for a year or two at the very least. The last year we had no MCU movies was 2009.
Endgame is 100% the last MCU movie I'll be seeing in the theater. I already stopped after Civil War but caved to GotG2 (I was literally forced by friends) and Infinity War. Will be seeing the rest when decent rips come out but I will never ever pay for that shit again. Disney ruined the entire franchise with their shitty quips and atrocious quality in general. Same with Star Wars but that's another story. Cape movies don't need a 10/10 story, I'm fine with that, but when they fuck up the cinematography, effects, action, AND dialogues, I'm out. It's not that the franchise only feels generic, it feels cheap
>basically fucked the space opera direction for the mcu
Not necessarily, there is still Eternals
>Which could have nose dived into the fantastic 4 catalog of cosmic enemies now.
Can they not still do that?
But then you spend a lot of time discussing the movies...
It’d be less of an issue if there weren’t Marvel characters on fucking cereal boxes in the store or whatever. On a cultural level this shit is everywhere.
So wait, you just get triggered by any mention of Marvel in popular culture at all?
>You get annoyed by this thing that’s everywhere that you don’t have any interest in?
You need to get out more.
I didn't like Frozen but just because I see that everywhere when it came out, and even now when I go into the supermarket, doesn't mean it's consuming my life
You can’t consume something you never had to begin with.
i don't though. i usually spend an hour or two a day on Yea Forums for maybe a week after a given release, and even that doesn't end up being entirely focused on whichever movie it was.
Welcome to Marketing 101, usually you'd have to wait until high school for this course.
Yes. Marvel is pretty much dead to me. I dropped the comics a while back, and now they're shitting up the movies too. Fuck em.
I was done awhile ago. You'll begin to look at MCU fans differently when you see them from the outside. Adult children.
you could try not being a huge baby and just ignore it
>movie is literally called endgame
US GAMERS AMIRITE GUYS WHO'S WITH ME
I'm not interested in reading comic books but like seeing people punch others again and again. That being said, I'm done with this MCU. I will read how Thanos dies on wikipedia.
We live in 50% of a society
The only superhero movie I wanna see is justice league vs Starro the conqueror directed by james wan or the russos
I'm giving it up after Endgame for at least a little while for sure. I already skipped CM, nothing coming up seems interesting to me until they can get F4 or X-Men underway and I can't stand MCU "Spider-Man."
This kind of thinking is why Marvel is in the state it is in. If the MCU didn't exist, the comics division wouldn't be able to be the sweatshop-ass, throw shit at the wall and see what sticks IP farm that it is today. They would have had to have gotten quality writers to survive and earn their keep, but since the MCU exists they're just coming up with random shit and praying it'll get put into movies.
That's the comics division fault though, not the movie division. Just because they wanted to chase clout for synergy doesn't mean they aren't also the ones who fucked up.
There's a single superfluous S and it doesn't effect legibility at all. You're simply ESL or being a faggot.
How do you read that post and think it's about spelling?
I know I will, but it's all for nothing. Disney's going to flood the market with superhero movies once they finish up the Fox deal. It'll be impossible to avoid them.
i agree that the movies are mediocre at best. but the only thing i would really blame on the mcu is the treatment of the fantastic four and x-men books
I'll watch the Captain Marvel sequel if Rogue is in it.
I anticipated them a lot. I got hooked on. I don't to feel this anymore. Endgame is my release
Well , yes. That is it.
Scarlett is a nudist
I'm gonna watch the next avengers movies just for Ant-Man.
I haven't watched marvel movie since Age of Ultron. I just lost all the interest after that and moved on.
You people are very sensitive about obnoxious marketing being called obnoxious. Have you taken your fedora off today?
>comics fan complaining about anything being samey
I chuckled.
Didn't you make this thread a week ago? And a week ago before that? Maybe you haven't moved on at all if you're still this obsessed about it.
not quite yet
I think people are reveling in assuming the worst right now due to a complete lack of info on what's next
>I'm not sure what more you could really want as a comic fan
How about cartoons or animated Superhero movies instead of more mediocre live action shit? You fucking Disney shill
Who the fault lies with doesn't change the facts
I haven't decided yet, but it's gonna be weird.
I stopped after Civil War and haven't felt even the slightest inkling to catch up
Okay, which of you shits just started the Yea Forums thread with ?
I'm actually more interested in what comes after, since they'll have to focus on new characters.
He gets into agriculture.
>he thinks there are comics fanson Yea Forums
I chortled.
It looks like Spidey just threw Ant-Man.
I've already moved on after Infinity War. I didn't go to see Captain Marel, and quite honeslty hearing that she's going to be a main character in Endgame makes me really not want to see that too. And if I'm not going to see Endgame there's no real point in watching further Marvel movies either.
I already skipped Black Panther, I skipped Ant-Man and the Wasp, I skipped Captain Marvel, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Not really interested in the new Spider-Man movie either. I won't say I'll never watch another MCU film, but I'm pretty burned out on the genre and after Endgame I think I'm going to be skipping a lot more of these, that goes for DC and other comic book adaptations as well.
About the only comic book adaptation I'm genuinely hyped about at the moment is the animated Invincible series Kirkman's working on, but that's a year, year and a half out right now.
See you all for Avengers 5,6,7....
Why are there so many people who want to stop watching after Endgame? It makes no sense....
The most pervasive rumor is that the original MCU Avengers are going to die or sacrifice themselves in one way or another that will most visibly take them them off the table for the MCU that follows. As such, because they won't be there, Endgame is being seen as a closing bracket to compliment the opening one that began with Iron Man. Despite it being treated as the last movie of Phase 3, a lot of people are seeing it as the end of Volume 1 and treating it as a jumping off point.
Because these movies have been getting progressively worse and I'm assuming most people see this as a good period to put on the end of the MCU. But like I said I stopped at Civil War so I didn't even get this far.
This. Most of the characters I'm actually invested in are almost guaranteed to have their stories concluded or at least mostly wrapped up in Endgame. I'll still probably come out for another Doctor Strange film, or GOTG3 if they get Gunn back in the director's chair, but I've got zero interest in most of these other stories.
True. I should have used some scare quotes.
>or GOTG3 if they get Gunn back in the director's chair
Bruh, I'd love that as well, but we both know it isn't happening.
Just like when you read the best run of a character - you¡re not interested in later ones.
I’m pretty hyped for Far From Home and the Spiderverse sequels but that’s it. Spidey in the MCU will be the only thing I and most people will keep up with.
Oh and I was hyped for GoTG vol. 3 too but after Gunn getting the axe I don’t know.
probably. I'm getting tired of the same mediocre capeshit movies three times a year, just from one studio. I dropped the Fox capeshit years ago and never looked back because it was mostly incompetent nonsense. Sony really hasn't won me back with just Venom. It was fun in a MCU way. Watch once and forget it existed five minutes later.
Well you definitely wasnt an 80's or 90's kid or incredibly sheltered because advertising was the same back then, Especially with toys and cartoons.
Probably, at least until they start pumping out X-Men movies/shows.(And I guess F4.)
That really does open up a lot of possibilities. Disney had to build a Marvel based franchise without access to Galactus, Dr. Doom, Magneto, or Norman Osborn. No wonder people kept bitching about the MCU having shitty villains.
The only problem is that no MCU film will ever top Logan or Spider-Verse.
The only 2 characters I care about will be done with Endgame so yeah, I'll be moving on.
>I don’t want another 10 years of these movies consuming my life
user, there's two movies a year. Four hours is hardly consuming your life, it's consuming one afternoon.
I don't necessarily want Marvel/DC movies to end, I just want them to stop being generic action movies. There's 80+ years of interesting stories to tell, but the format is always the same.
>There's 80+ years of interesting stories to tell, but the format is always the same.
Are silver age stories interesting? "Superman got hungry and ate a moon" and "Spider-man fights a man covered in bricks" is hardly blockbuster material.
I grew up in the 2000s.
I'll tell you the real, true future for some groups:
Avengers - GotG > Team that a trinity including Captain Marvel is on - wacky Excalibur or other Captain Britain group with few or no 'mutants' > probably Alpha Flight? - Starjammers or original GotG or Special Executive if possible or maybe a different group
New Mutants will probably be a separate thing
My life is more than just waiting for movies to come out, so I honestly don't think about "the commitment" of this sort of shit, and neither should you.
I love how we went from "Captain Marvel is gonna fail" to "it's totally a FLOP" to ... "guise, hey guise? w-we're totally over w-whole MCU ... right guise?" in the span of it's opening weekend!
Skipped Captain Marvel, just going to see Endgame to cap off this thing, even though I suspect it will be a complete shitshow with Captain Marvel being shoehorned in to steal everyone elses thunder and to satisfy current year politics. Then Shazam and I am fucking done with superhero flicks.
Wow literally none of these characters have the dynamic and charisma of Iron Man/Downey and Cap/Evans interaction.
Let's be real, I'll watch all of them, but I won't pay one red cent for them and I won't be in any rush to see them.
Throw in Riri to replace Iron Man, Ms. Marvel who they announced plans for, and America Chavez from the Young Avengers movie they announced.
Remember when Yea Forums went "Anyone else moving on from the MCU after the Avengers"? You guys repeats yourselves every fucking year.
