Now that the MCU is over, can we answer the most important question

I do. It had a perfect ending. But Americans can't let something go until it's no longer profitable

For millions it is.

"No"

What a bunch of generic pantyhose heroes for a bunch of generic comic nerds. Speechless.

No. Marvel went down the path of needlessly pandering to mainstream when they didn't need to and while the movies spiked interest and sales in the comics that related to it, it never had any lasting effects. So what you had was forced synergy and changing characters to worse versions and shelving better characters and stories to chase the fads the MCU created. GotG got it the worst out of everyone.

it hurt it because the mcu brought sjws and feminism to the industry

is this a real page?

It looks legit to me. Comics have done way stupider things. Comics really should just do their own thing.

Guessing breaking Box office records means it is time to end all production. -_-

Dc and snyder are better than mcu

I don't understand why they ruined Iron Man, which would have been their best bet for getting MCU people into the comics.

He's suddenly adopted, and then died, and replaced by some black girl? Like what?

yes and no? It brought in new fans because you know movies were so great and comicon had a huge boom but what came from popularity came the ugly side of fandom and I mean that literally.
You got people complaining over shit that has been going on for decades and just around 2010 shit got more political in the shallow sense of the word.
Meaning they stated stuff that was already explored and acted like it was something that was ground breaking.

>I don't understand why they ruined Iron Man, which would have been their best bet for getting MCU people into the comics.
You know Spider-man sells the most comics out of the entire franchise. His movies brought in new viewers, but what made a huge boom was the avengers movie.

why would it make more than infinity war?

it's not that, it's simply super hero fatigue and it's all down hill from here. Just liek How Spider-man fatigue came about.

Helped push a few trades of older stuff. New comics are selling worse since even diehard Marvel Zombies just read the old stuff they grew up with and watch the movies.

Normies won't pay $4-5 for a chapter of a bad story, when all they want is the movies.

I love DC way more than Marvel, but fuck off with this console wars shit. Both companies have their strengths and weaknesses. The Snyder DC movies are about as rubbish as the Superman sequels and Joel Schumacher Batman movies.

Nolan made a serious Batman work because he's actually a great filmmaker, who has made a few really terrific movies outside of capeshit. (Yes, he's made some duds too. Even Hitchcock and Spielberg had bad movies.). Snyder makes great video game trailers. That's it. He cannot tell a narrative and he doesn't understand human beings beyond the surface. Riffing entire scenes from Alan Moore and Frank Miller doesn't make him good.

Mostly, yeah. Phase Four is sequels I'll see when they're on TV or streaming and new heroes that I don't trust Disney to get right. Master of Kung Fu SHOULD be awesome like the comic was, but I have serious doubts that Disney can make an action movie as good as the ones I imagined in my head when I was reading the comics as a kid. I'm just happy those comics in print again.

Maybe Phase Five will reset my enthusiasm with a decent FF or X-movie. It will require Iger's replacement taking chances with the FF to truly capture the Kirby vibe. If they don't frack up the Eternals too bad, they might manage a decent FF.

The comics were trash anyway

Sir I require your mouse bucks information details.

God you losers are fucking pathetic

Don't you have to do more Damage Control on Shazam's horrible box office?

dilate.

Idk. I know a guy who got into them through the mcu.

As much as I love the comics (been reading for 20+years) I do think the MCU is now the definitive version of the Marvel universe.

Getting an actual ending to a character arc that can't be just undone by the next writer adds a finality and satisfaction that the comics will never have.

>using the MCU as a personality

congrats

>If they don't frack up the Eternals too bad, they might manage a decent FF.
Honestly, Marvel has done decent superhero team up movies in MCU like Avengers, GoTG and technically Civil War. Its just thier solo movies that are on the sub-par side. So at the very least, mid to high chance they won't botch up FF or the X-men.

SEETHING

No, only the worst aspects were carried over to comics, like dumb "realistic" costumes and attempting badly to ape RDJ and Pratt's humor style.
And they still haven't learned anything from the way the films told their overarching narrative.

Along with dumbass gamer mongoloids who think they're any better than them despite being the exact same kind of casual posers who care more about industry drama and pretending to have read older comics than actually reading anything.

Fuck off Zack

sure it is

I believe that Marvel's original plan was to promote comic books and increase their sales through the MCU. When they realized people were paying more atention to the movies instead, Marvel Studios splitted up from Marvel Entertainment and the rest is known story.

That's why nobody cares about legit criticism at the MCU, because every critic is just a seething DCfag in disguise.

>implying it's ever, ever going to end

Yep. Because of Hiddleston, Loki became a popular character in Marvel fandom and was therefore given some character growth that has led to him becoming a more conflicted, nuanced character. He's had one solo series already with a second one starting this summer.

Not at all, everything is worse than ever

Put it this way, Iron Man has been one of the most famous fictional characters in the world since 2008, and in that time, his book never got above a mid-tier seller and the company's star comic writer wound up replacing Iron Man with a supervillain and a sassy black teen genius to get a publicity boost.

There is almost no relationship between movie popularity and comics popularity, at least in the monthly sales.
