I'm an easy mark for these films, and I have to one degree or another found them all enjoyable. But I will admit, overall the magic has been missing since Endgame. My daughter and I actually watched all of Spider-Man's scenes in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers Infinite War and Avengers: Endgame last night, as we're planning on re-watching the Holland Spidey movies leading up to us seeing Brand New Day. Rewatching just parts of those films made me wonder if they can ever recapture that excitment, that spark. This trailer did seem to evoke some of that. Either way, I'm definitely in for seeing it!
BF & I will be attending the first showing. Still not sure about it but the chance to see X-Men in the comic book outfits is something I have been watching for.
I'm sure I will see Doomsday at some point, but I agree that they have lost the spark.
The early movies really succeeded because they were, first and foremost, character-driven. People love the first Iron Man, but nobody loves it because of RDJ's fight with Jeff Bridges (or anything else plot related). It is because they connected with the character of Tony Stark.
I feel like the recent movies are lots of action, lots of plot, lots of servicing of the "cinematic universe"... and the characters are almost an afterthought.
Yeah, the magic is gone for me aparently. I guess I don't really find FF,Shang-Chi, Thunderbolts, Sam as Cap interacting all that exciting. Each of those have had one movie that were pretty forgettable imo. And I actually never did see Black Panther 2 either. I guess these first time interactions dont seem as monumental to me as they did in Infinity War.
X-Men involvement could be a little more interesting. Is Jackman supposed to be coming back?
Have there been any memes of "Somehow Steve Rogers returned" yet? Lol
For all my complaining, I'll most likely be seeing it opening weekend.
I feel like Thunderbolts and FF were definitely back in the right direction for Marvel. The FF film captured that Lee/Kirby magic pretty well, better than I expected. I just wish they'd made that movie about 10 years ago so we'd had them involved in the best era of the MCU.
