Good video and I agree with all the points you made. Cinema is not as good as it used was and that can be due to studios not really caring about the quality of the films. They only care about the money. Now granted, we do get some gems like Puss In Boots The Last Wish, Into and Across The Spiderverse.

Thanks. Studios seem to only care about making money on their films nowadays which I think is devastating. It deeply saddens me that so much of what Hollywood is putting out nowadays is just films part of an IP with no love and care put into them.

Honestly I agree. Like after the Avengers Endgame, I feel so different when I watch movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The movies aren't bad or anything, but it just continue stretching the content into more and more concepts. It isn't as original as before. Tho personally I enjoyed watching the new captain Marvel movie. Nice job on the video!! :>

I feel as though post-Endgame, the Marvel creative committee just didn’t know what clear direction to take as there wasn’t any logical step to take. A part of me wishes that the MCU had just ended after Endgame but a huge part of me is super glad that this didn’t happen as that would mean that we would mean that we wouldn’t have gotten No Way Home and Guardians 3 which I absolutely love. If I had to pick between living in a universe with or without the MCU movies post-Endgame, I would choose to pick in the universe where these movies could exist. I just hope that the upcoming Deadpool movie can save this universe because if it doesn’t, my concerns for the MCU will significantly increase and I will lose a lot of faith in this movie. But the trailer does look fantastic though so I do still have faith.

@@TheGrinningCritic DC movies haven't disappoint me yet, and as you told me that wolverine are also gonna be in the movie, look forward to it.

@@josenwang9578 Can’t say the same for me. I disliked Shazam: Fury of the Gods. But I do feel very optimistic for the future of DC movies as their new cinematic universe, the DCU is being run by James Gunn (known for Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad) who is a director who I love the style of. In fact, in many ways I have more faith for the future of DC movies than I do for future Marvel movies.

​@@TheGrinningCritic Yea well Shazam is shi*, but all the other ones are cool, and I love the characters. Shazam is like a comedy lol.

@@josenwang9578 To be fair, I haven’t watched a lot of the DC movies but I do plan to watch more in the future. Recently I bought Man of Steel on DVD and I look forward to watching it.
