I'm currently watching The Marvels. Lordy it's bad, so very bad 😱.

It's pushing The Eternals for the worst Marvel film made.
Have to disagree LT - nothing could possibly be worse than The Eternals.
The Marvels was ok - I went in with zero expectations and thought it was ok (the girl that played Ms Marvel is very good and I don't quite understand the kicking that Brie Larson gets).
As Kaz said, Quantumania is close to Eternals in rubbishness but at least I sat through Quantumania - I only managed half of Eternals!

I said it was pushing it, I didn't say it surpassed it 🤣. I'm not sure anything can be worse than The Eternals 😱.

Is Ms Marvel the young girl with the mum, dad, brother? I liked her, the family brought some light relief. Brie Larsen, in this, is just bland, beige 😴. You can't have a boring and uninspiring superhero, it doesn't work 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I think you are all wrong, whilst I also think that Quantumania is worse than The Eternals, neither come close to the absolute atrocity that is Thor Love and Thunder.

I think most people agree that the drop off in quality after Endgame was massive.
I was so into the Marvel films right up to Endgame, but after the last three or so that I saw after that - now I don't even bother to look out for them, let alone watch them. I'll watch Deadpool 3 this year and that'll be all I should think.

Totally, only one decent film in Guardians 3, the rest pretty awful and the TV series were not much better.

Actually, I can add Spider man No Way Home as well but I do not love that as much as many do, I still think Homecoming was much better. Wakanda Forever was OK but only OK. Everything else, awful in the film department.

Wandavision and Loki were decent TV as was the one off Werewolf one and I enjoyed Hawkeye. The Falcon series got stung by having a virus plot that had to be totally re-written after Covid and the rest were just plain bad.

I think Deadpool 3 is going to be the only Marvel film this year with everything else delayed by the strikes or by Jonathan Majors getting found guilty.

Even as a comic fan, none of the current run of characters resonates with me and none of the people playing them have the same presence as Downey Junior, Evans, Hemsworth etc. Plus, I am fed up of no films standing on their own. the thing about the origianl phases is that, aside from Endgame, you could pretty much drop into any film with little background knowledge but you just cannot do that now.

Agree re the family.
I know what you mean about Capt Marvel - it must be difficult to write for a character that can basically kick everyones behind, with seemingly no flaws/weaknesses

Really looking forward to that
