Did a guy in a Wolverine shirt wipe his ass with your copy of Superman, or something? Jesus. You are literally the very kind of fanboy you're complaining about, but for the opposite team.

Now we get some classic Zarius self-hating "aspie" sh*t, from a grown man who writes fan fic no less!

Best thread in this section in years!

You don't have to like the movie. It's just, you dislike it for the specific reasons people love it... And you made a whole thread to say, "You think you like this pizza, but if you look at it objectively, you'll realize that, obviously, the cheese, the sauce and the crust suck. Right, guys?"

I'm just waiting for the "Marvel vs. Capcom" bashing to pop up.

Ok I got to know what DC product is superior to the Marvel films cause I can only think four five if Batman Mask of the Phantasm is counted. That I would count as masterpieces to let alone good. Even then they all star Batman DC/WB just cant get it together when it comes to showcasing its other heroes on the big screen.

As for Avengers and the marvels studio stuff yeah its overrated. Avengers was a good action flick but unlike other comic movies like X2 or Dark Knight it didn't really get me much of an emotional response from me. If it wasn't for seeing the other Marvel movies I wouldn't have given to ***** about the characters. As for Marvel Studios themselves there just like Fox and Sony they can have success and failures just like them I frankly hated Iron Man III and Thor Dark Word was overly meh.

If growing up means appreciating the clusterf#*k that is the DC TV/Movie franchises, then I'll happily stay a kid forever.

I quite honestly didn't like The Avengers either. The actors were great and all, but the writing was pretty sloppy at times (I still don't know why in God's name Hulk started tearing apart the Helicarrier, but became everyone's fun friend at the end when it was plot-convenient).

Boring soundtrack, boring shots, and quite frankly a boring story. The core plot itself could be interesting, but the way it was all paced made it all so mundane and quite frankly annoying.

And what the hell was with all the bad jokes? I don't mean just bad, I mean goddamn irritating. Why did Hulk feel the need to punch Thor after taking down that giant lizard alien thing?



It was just stupid; what if Hulk had killed Thor? That wouldn't be funny. It all just felt so contrived.

And Iron Man 3 made me want to puke. They set the movie during Christmas (maximum ??????) and while the Mandarin was pretty awesome in the beginning, he turned out to be a loser named Trevor who'd turned his brain to goo with drugs. And then they try to fix it by making that idiot Killian the Mandarin.

I was pretty happy when they killed off Pepper, but she survived due to dumb luck and became the hero of the movie instead of Tony, who decided to blow up all of his Iron Man suits for reasons that are not made clear. And Tony got a real heart again? That was just insulting to Marvel fans, especially when the first two movies made it clear that that simply wasn't possible.

There were so many plot holes in an almost plotless film. It was kind of amazing how poorly written it was.

The Winter Soldier was awesome, though. I couldn't have asked for a better film.

I think the thing I loved best about the Mandarin reveal in IM3 was how it took the piss out of the Ras Al Ghul reveal from Batman Begins, a movie that just gets worse and worse with every rewatch.

This is what you're complaining about? Its a comic book movie, I want fun jokes in a movie. People forget that superheroes are supposed to be, "fun," I want to see funny banter and jokes between characters.

Its the reason Robin exists in the Batman universe, because you need a lighter or funnier character there.

Well that, and he's a self-insert character for little boys to imagine themselves being.

Then they added BatGirl to make things look less "provocative."

Me too. Winter Soldier did it fine; the jokes were natural and - surprise surprise! - actually funny. The jokes in Avengers were forced, annoying, stupid, and unfunny.
