MS. MARVEL: MUTANT MENACE #1 Cover Spotlights Kamala Khan's New Role As A Member Of The X-Men

@Variant - And you Shill too much.

@marvel72 - Good one...

Anyway, the amount of complaining you do is unacceptable. Are you a grown fvcking man or not?

"Good one...

Anyway, the amount of complaining you do is unacceptable. Are you a grown fvcking man or not?" - @Variant
Vary Vary Vary, aren't you in the same comment section as @marvel72 doing the same thing that @marvel72 does in his comments? So it's not okay for @marvel72 to point out his dislikes but it "is" OK for "Variant to point out "HIS" dislikes. Gotcha.

And you accuse people of not acting like grown adults...
(You're not the intelligent person you think you are.)

@Variant - Why thank you, it was as about as good as yours.

I can complain as much as I want, you worry about yourself.

@marvel72 - Do you hear yourself? "I can complain as much as I want." 😂

That is just so sad.

@videovac - Yeah...you definitely don't make a great point here. I'm also quite tired of the complaining. It's one thing to not like something, it's another to establish a reputation for being a constant complainer. The folks here that carry themselves this way should be embarrassed. Seriously.

@Fogs - Hardly. She's not unpopular in the first place. But also, nothing is being "forced" on anyone. It's just a whiney disposition.

@Variant -

I have praised Marvel Phases 1-3 and I liked a few of the movies from Phases 4 and 5 but that seems to make me a hater.

The truth is true comic book fans don't like how the comic books and movies are being handled,its all gone to shit.

Low box office
Low viewing figures
Bad reviews

Hopefully Deadpool 3 turns things around.

Any way enjoy what you want and so will I.

@Variant - say something worthwhile for once

@marvel72 - Now we're having a conversation. I know I'm being sharp, but I'm just really exhausted of seeing so much negativity. So let's pick up where you left off, amicably.

I stopped reading comics around the Dark Reign arc. Roughly. Not by choice, life just gets busy and adulting takes over. So CBMs are my only escape into that world. Anyway, just pointing this out to establish that I don't have an opinion on the current state of the comics. I don't know how they're selling, I can't keep up with all that.

As for the films, I think there's a trend right now to be overly critical. I loved Phase 1-3. And I get that people were invested in THOSE characters and when the MCU moved on without some of them, it wasn't the same. I get that. But the quality really isn't any worse. I went back and watched Iron Man 2 and some of it was very cringey. I went back and watched Thor 2 and fell asleep. I wouldn't call either of those films "bad". They're just not great. And that's no different than shows like Secret Invasion.

Marvel Studios is actually being quite consistent. The problem is that people's expectations have risen from Endgame and now they compare everything to that climax. In reality, not everything can be that grand. Nor has it ever been.

With all that said, yes box office is down and Marvel Studios has started seeing bad reviews for the first time. But dude, there's so much illusion with that. Eternals, for example, is almost an objectively better film than Thor 2. (I know I'm picking on that film a lot but it's a relevant gauge considering it was almost unanimously considered the worst film in the Infinity Saga.) Yet, Thor 2 got way better critic reviews. Why is that? There are a lot of variables really... I think one of the major factors is industry bias. CBMs (mostly from Marvel Studios) dominated the market for so long and folks like Scorsese and Tarantino eventually come out of the wood works -- feeling over shadowed -- speaking down on the genre. Critics are noticeably getting CBM fatigue because their reviews make it very obvious they're just mostly tired of the genre. Once upon a time critics had ACTUALLY bad CBMs to compare MCU films to and so they reviewed better; the benchmark was much lower. Now the MCU is a victim of its own success. They raised the bar so high they can't make every one of their films and shows THAT good.

Do I think they should work on improving? Yes, of course. There are certain things that are inexcusable. And there are certain expectations that are warranted considering their level of success. But nothing is as bad as it's being made out to be by some people. And comparisons being made aren't proper equivalences.

@bobevanz - that reminds me of that "stay positive" guy, trying to shut off people who didn't like stuff he did.

His idea was "if you are not going to cheer you shouldn't comment at all".

They won't even notice what they are anymore.

@Ryguy88 - Weren't you the same person that tried regurgitating some nonsense rumor and I had to point out that you were wrong and then you had to backpedal and say "but but but...if it were true."

The answer is yes. Which means you have no credibility to talk about "coping".

@Variant - what are you talking about? Still diverting from the topic though, so its clear you dont have anything there.

"Lol. Marvel just loves wasting time and resources." - @Oberlin4Prez
Amen.

@videovac - sounds like her very existence offends you.
