The Marvels Is All The Worst Parts of the MCU | Spoiler Review

[@gregowen2022]

If you're worried about the Kree sun, have no fear. At the very end, Captain Marvel flies into it and reignites it. She reignited a star that was dormant because of a civil war. Also, there's a whole subplot involving Fury and his space station and cats. There are flurrgen eggs all over the ship like tribbles and they swallow the crew and get them to earth because there is only one escape pod left. I'm not making any of this up.

[@RazvanMihaeanu]

The Marvels - payed by a stupid friend 🤣. Kamala Khan = OMG, OMG, OMG!...while fighting with a scarf on planet Aladdin (I mean Aladna); Monica Rambeau = BGM! (Black Girl Magic) from the... Rice University Carol Danvers = Basmati Blues (singing/dancing) on planet Aladdin. Cats! Oh, and Disney said "Fck China! Hello, South Korean mo-hooo-ney!" They cast Park Seo-joon as...Prince Yan D'Aladna...Captain Marvel's...husband! Singing and dancindg and bilingual (he also can speak without singing) husband! Captain Marvel is a Disney Princess now!

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I remember when Movie Theater popcorn was MUCH better. These days, the theaters near me, use some kind of salt alternative, and the "butter" is just flavorless oil. Kind of like what the current MCU is to entertainment. A cheap and failing substitute.

[@sunso1991]

I did notice that too!!!! The popcorn butter taste like some seed oil with artificial butter flavor now!!! Back in 2000s in Texas I can still remember the staff refilling the butter machine with blocks of butter that was wrapped in wax paper. (They removed the paper obviously)

[@berserkasaurusrex4233]

I work in fast food and about 15 years ago changed to using a "liquid butter alternative". It comes in a jug off the truck and is liquid at room temperature. If you ever have a breakfast mcmuffin or a biscuit from BK, it's drenched in this stuff. I'm sure theaters are using the exact same gunk. When I was a teenager, we still had real eggs and real butter that was melted in a metal container sat on the grill.

The "original cut" of this film (I heard) was around 2 hours 47 minutes long, including credits (without it would be around 2 1/2 hours) and they cut it down to 1 hour 45 minutes (without credits it's roughly 88 minutes long) in an attempt to fix the bad to abysmal test screenings. This alone should have told Disney it was going to be sh!t, but they released it anyway hoping it would do well 🤦‍♂🤣

I'm shocked they released it to theaters. Quietly dumping it to Disney plus would have been better than the bad PR from this laughing stock.

I heard recently that if Disney had actual leadership then they'd be asking themselves WHY every woman in the world saw Barbie but literally no women are seeing their girlpower MCU movies...

Every woman in the world saw Barbie because of Ryan Gosling and how hot he is, and a lot of guys probably also saw it because of Margot Robbie and how hot she is as well.

[@kevinmccabe7263]

@@NexusKin I'm sure this was a massive part of the appeal, but I think the larger reason is that Barbie felt very girly. Whereas the MCU just makes really masculine characters then casts women for the roles so it never actually resonates with women.

Thank you for taking another hit for us.

[@blair9056]

Something I don't think was mentioned: this movie relied on previous Marvel content more than any non-Avengers movie yet. It relied on you having seen Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Endgame, Wandavision, Ms Marvel, Secret Invasion (yes, three Disney+ shows!) and more than that it does almost nothing to catch you up if you've missed any of that. For example, there's a throwaway line or two about Rambeau getting her powers from walking through a witch's forcefield, but how does that make any kind of sense if you haven't actually seen the show?

[@ASpooneyBard]

Yes. This is a big reason that just can't care anymore. Before Endgame, you could watch maybe 5 movies (any 5 really) and mostly be caught up for the next Avengers movie. The plot to each of those movies (including the 3 Avengers movies that weren't direct sequels) started at the beginning of their story and didn't really rely on the plots of previous movies (having knowledge of the previous plots does add to it though). Now you have to have already watched 30+ hours of content just to understand who the MAIN CHARACTERS of your story are. This goes beyond "interconnected story" and has just become "homework." I always hated homework.

The fact that the critics in my country has nothing to say about the movie aside from the fact that it has a cat… Oh and btw this movie came on theaters at such an unfortunate time too,in my country,there’re 3-4 local movies in the theaters…and two of them are very popular locally. One is about a guy who had to move on from his girlfriend’s death,while his friend who works in funeral industry could see the ghost of his girlfriend…I’ve heard it was extremely well written and it doesn’t even have any star in the movie,all the actors aren’t famous at all,but the movie makes a hella lot if money.

Another great review, Greg! Two things you mentioned that deserve to be explored and expanded: The fact that the director bailed and took off with 2.5 weeks of work left to go on the movie! As you said, that shows you how important directors, and any vision they may have, is NOT to this corporate sausage making "film" company. Ask Joe Johnston if he wants to work with Marvel again after 2012. Also, the subtle racism in these movies of, as you say, pairing them up with other women of color. Girl Power, indeed. The MCU's racist attitude and writing has all the subtlety of a fart.

[@mozax8118]

I haven't seen the film (nor do I want to), but I think that the reason why Kamala was able to use her powers without the Nega band is because a "mutation" had occurred within her genes. So not only that Kamala is the first MUTANT in the MCU, but the post credit scene is another example of how Marvel was desperate to get butts on the seat, instead of writing a good story. Also the reason why beast looks terrible is because this scene was shot very late into production. So yeah, DESPERATION!!!

And then after that, the second bangle just disappears...no explanation. Did she lose it? Did the cat eat it? Did they rebury it? Don't know.

[@prestigiorebelde]

Predictable plot ✅ Bunch of misfit heroes forced to unite need to resolve their differences and learn to work together to save the world... How many superhero movies have the exact same premise? 20? 30? Don't forget the obligatory sacrifice... Bad humor ✅ Using Nick Fury as comic relief is not what fans want more of or asked for. They made one of the coolest, most badass characters in the MCU take a back seat and just make him throw around stupid comments that weren't even funny. You will notice how unfunny it gets if you watch a second time. They also keep repeating the same formulaic humor of putting some bad joke to diffuse any tension or drama, for example: Kamala's parents' house gets destroyed after aliens try to kill the family, but the movie asks us not to take the killing attempt seriously by inserting humor. The family, therefore, never seems to be at any real danger. It should be something dramatic, painful, scary, traumatic, sad with probably someone seriously hurt that makes them upset, worry, angry. It should create conflict between Kamala and her parents,... But nope, Disney doesn't want any darkness or take anything remotely serious... everything has to be a joke and inconsequential. Boring one-dimensional characters ✅ There is no real personal conflict in this movie for any of the characters. One of the main aspects of a good superhero movie is the hero struggling with some inner conflict or flaw that they need to resolve to grow and become a better hero and make things better. There is none of that here. Kamala is just happy to be working with Carol as she is a fan, but she never stops putting her on a pedestal. She keeps thinking she is amazing and flawless from beginning to end, and she is just happy to be her new "sis." There is a brief moment which hints that Carol could be not as perfect as Kamala thinks when she is letting people die because they obviously can't save all, but it's never fully explored, as it's resolved immediately with a hug. No personal character arc ✅ Kamala somehow is already good at martial arts and fighting, without having any training whatsoever... And no just because you get a bracelet that gives you magical powers doesn't mean you suddenly become an expert acrobatic fighter. She has no real internal conflict; she wants to be Carol's partner, and somehow she is already ready for universe-level stakes, despite her inexperience... She risks nothing; she is never under any real threat; she never questions herself whether she should be doing this hero thing or not? She never seems to lack confidence, bravery, or anything... She never wonders if her family is more important or if this hero life is harder than she imagined. She just gets the work done with her partners and goes home ready to seek the next adventure. I bet it's just so much fun being a hero, isn't it? It's almost like playing basketball as a hobby after school, right? Real heroes don't do the hero thing for fun; they do it out of a sense of responsibility and know damn well it's a huge sacrifice and a painful experience that can put everyone they love at risk, not just themselves. But we get none of that with Kamala, other than her parent's house being destroyed, which is resolved as "whoopsie, hehe, didn't mean to, ok byeeee!” Forgettable villain ✅ One trailer they released a week before the release tried to sell this as Thanos’s daughter or follower, who was gonna get his job done. This is false advertisement. She's just mad at Carol for destroying her world and wants to steal resources from the world Carol cares about to rebuild her own world. Every time she is on screen, she is never really much of a threat to the main characters; they kick her ass constantly, and the third act battle is won so easily. She never does any real damage to the main characters... sure, some Skrulls that one cares about or knows die because they can’t save them, but you are not really invested in their deaths because they are extras in the movie, not real characters we care for their survival. I struggle to remember her name without looking it up. This might be the lamest villain in the entire MCU, no kidding… Ridiculous cats eating innocent people "to save them"?? ✅ There is a scene where some cats start eating innocent people because there is apparently no other way to save them from an upcoming explosion in the space station that they have to escape from. You would wonder what makes Nick Fury and the heroines think that a weird bunch of dangerous cats eating a person (against their will) somehow is a good idea to save them, why would they think the cat will then vomit those people without any harm? Why would they even still be alive after they ate and digested them? Why would they think those people won't need therapy after that? Why does Marvel Studios, Disney, and Kevin Feige think that going from ants defeating the main bad guy of the multiverse saga to cats eating innocent people is somehow a winning strategy that will make people hyped for the MCU's future? I suppose they just wanted people to not ask questions and consume the next product, which brings me to the: Post-credit scene ✅ You had Beast from the original Fox X-men and María Rambeau from another universe as Binary... In theory, one should get excited, but then again, you can't help but think, why should I get excited after watching this movie? They'll probably Disneyfy them, make the X-men a total unfunny joke or parody, where maybe a bunch of teddy bears defeat Magneto who will probably act like a clown as comic relief, and with no permanent consequences to any character and no character arcs whatsoever other than "I'm already perfect and I need to remember/recognize that to show how amazing I always was." It's the kind of movie that no one will talk about or remember two weeks from now because it feels like a filler episode of a "Disney channel" series. There are TikTok videos far more satisfying than this. On the positive side: They improved Carol’s personality, and she seems more likable now, and I guess Kamala steals the show by being overexcited to be there, but that’s to the detriment of the movie because her vibe is just too playful and childish, making the movie feel like a thing to laugh at than to take seriously. It’s a movie meant for people who like McDonald’s food and eating the same shitty Big Mac over and over and over... If you expect a memorable restaurant experience, this is not it.

I never liked Kelsey Grammer as the Beast. They should've had Morbius show up turn the squealing teenager into a vampire, then the two of them fly off shouting in unison, "It's Morbin time!" Then they could've played the Larry David show music and all the Marvel stans would've wet themselves 😅

[@BoSmith7045]

When I was a child Disney would make low budget movies for kids like Escape From Witch Mountain or Condorman. They are not classics or examples of brilliant cinema but they were fun with coherent scripts, competent directing, and sane budgets that almost always made sure they would make a profit. Maybe they should stop with the Marvel and Star Wars for a while instead of phoning in garbage and hoping it makes a billion dollars.

Time to eat crow. I watch your channel and do i expected Marvels to be terrible. Instead, I was surprised at how fun, dramatic and interesting all the characters were. They perfectly nailed character chemistry on the trio. The visuals are the best since Thor: Ragnarok. They even wrote Nick Fury acting like Nick Fury instead of Secret Invasion which seemed like a completely different person. The Marvels is now one of my favorites of all time.

The X-Men (if they will still call them x-men and not mutants) story that they will probably choose to tell will probably be the least interesting out of them all with characters that no one wants to see. As usual, they will prioritize sending ''THE MESSAGE'' above everything else and one more hideous product will come to life.

[@andrewfaye652]

Disney killed MCU. Your review is spot on and excellently done. The art of storytelling has left Disney and been replaced by unacceptable political propaganda garbage. What is problematic about the current products coming from the MCU is when the critic/fans try to point out the obvious plot holes is Disney response. Kinda getting tired of guilt being used as their go to method of damage control. Calling anyone who criticizes their movies an ism’s has got to stop. Disney just need to stay out of politics and focus back on the basics. Write a good story first then go into production. This movie is over priced poorly written and a waste of time to see. You can see that all the talented storytellers have shifted to anime. Disney please fire theses talentless writers and find the people that know the art of storytelling.

[@gregowen2022]

Agreed. They can’t tell a story and they forgot that skin color and genitals don’t make a character. They really think some flashy action and representation are a story. It’s sad

[@GreenAnonymous]

It's very interesting to me how they just throw logic to the wind just to double down on their ideology or whatever they are trying to prove. Their aurora of arrogance is so strong that they just can't see themselves as being wrong, EVEN THOUGH they reshot the move like 14 times. We just need to never go to the movies again. There is no point

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

Now that I think about it, 2 characters out of the main 3 cast are yes-ma’am’s. Captain Marvel seemed to be the one always looked up to, and with Monica is does make sense, but I call Monica a Yes-ma’am because of how much she sucked up to Wanda and her awful actions. (I’m sure your hero would certainly be proud of you for excusing torture and telling of the perp that it’s all ok because the victims don’t know what you did for them, basically acting like the victims are ungrateful assholes for being mad at Wanda)

[@Honeychama]

The connection of the leads was left behind in the comics as they were all modern derivatives of Ms. Marvel. But that's not explained or touched on, it's a nod to readers, and the writers want to seem clever.

4:36 to be fair, that's true to the comics. Her power is to control and turn into almost any sort of energy on electromagnetic spectrum. Her powers are so versatile that she can basically do anything plot requires her to do. So at least it is faithful to the source material in this regard? Character arc or personality would still be nice...

I have no confidence is Disney handling the x-men. I feel like the men are going to need to be constantly saved by the women and make the same cringe comment mystique made in x-men apocalypse "Maybe we should be called the x-women".

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

Wasn’t mystique almost always originally a villain that caused trouble anyways? So I’m not sure why Fox make her of all people say something like that when a lot of the time people need saving from HER, saved by the men and women that have to pick up her slack. Hell one of the movies was about a *man* saving the future by stoping mystique from making a mistake. This just feels like dialogue from off of Twitter.

[@adamstilwell4209]

@@anotherrandomguy8871 I just realized I referenced the wrong movie. It wasn't apocalypse, it was dark phoenix that came out in 2019. for some reason Mystique was an x men and not a villain. She said that to Charles after they saved the astronauts.

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

@@adamstilwell4209 you’d think she’d be smart enough to realize that the ‘Men’ in X-Men means both MEN and woMEN since ‘men’ and ‘man’ can also be used as neutrally to mean both hence why people say the word “mankind”.

[@linkjourney422]

@@gregowen2022 I don’t remember anything being rumored about a Deadpool 3 tie in with The Marvels. I remember hearing a lot about the Beast cameo in The Marvels but nothing on Deadpool 3. However I do believe that there were rumors that Deadpool 3 would be tied into the Loki Season 2 finale since the TVA and Mobius have been highly rumored to to be involved with Deadpool 3. I just don’t believe Deadpool 3 is going to be good. Disney has every intent to rush Deadpool 3 to the finish line for a July release date. Deadpool 3 gives me X-Men Wolverine Origins vibes.

[@LarsBarlow]

You started by saying this is the worst Marvel movie... I watched it expecting it to be bad. It's not that bad. In fact, I found a lot of it pretty good entertainment. They gave Marvel Superman some flaws. That was good. But, bottom line here. How can any MCU movie beat out Eternals for worst. I mean... It's so bad... I'm not even going to get into it.
