For me it was a transcendent experience watching this trailer in 3D in the theater before ATWOW.

I hope this turns out to be better written than TL&T and WF as i’m finding it increasingly difficult to support 3D (which I love) when being so bitterly disappointed by the films that are being shown in the format.

Was that Modok in the trailer?

It looks good, fingers crossed it is, phase 4 has been so disappointing fo rthe most part so far.

Yes and he looked hilarious i agree phase 4 has really not been good. But atleast it looks like 3D is good here.

I don't know what movies y'all have been watching, Phase 4 was absolutely and definitely frigging fantastic and every single movie and show was... marvelous!

Seriously, Phase 4 has got to be my favourite phase so far. So many many new fantastic characters and new locations have been introduced... we've gotten some old friends back (albeit briefly?) and we have been given the first few hints of where this is all going.

Honest to goodness, if this isn't the most exciting phase so far in the entire Marvel saga, I don't know what is...

I think Phase 4 has been wildly inconsistent in quality and I haven’t felt the unity in the stories so much, but people are clearly forgetting that Phase 1 was kind of weak in hindsight. Iron Man 2 and Thor are not exactly world beating movies. I’d say Phase 4 is better than Phase 1 overall if you look at the movies more objectively and try and ignore the nostalgia factor of being early comic book movies before any CBM fatigue. I think we’ve had 7 movies in Phase 4 with two being bad to middling and the rest being good to excellent, which isn’t that bad at all.

I think what Phase 4 did was break Marvel’s streak of having consistently at least ‘quite good’ movies that they had kept up for Phase 2-3. Hopefully they can get back to something more consistent and connected feeling in Phase 5.

See, that kind of comment right there makes me think you either haven't been paying attention, or you're just never going to be able to appreciate the wonderful things that can be done within the milieu of a comic-book universe. Every single movie in Phase 4 absolutely knocked it out of the park, there isn't a single "weak" movie in the bunch. They all developed the format narratively, and took new opportunities to expand what the genre can do, not to mention that they have all planted the seeds for what is going to be happening in the next 2-3 years.

Oh well, maybe these movies can't be fully appreciated by everyone.

Whew, that was breathtakingly pretentious.

I don’t really understand the point of engaging in movie discussion if your mentality isn’t just the already poor spirited ‘I am right and everyone else is wrong’ but also ‘I must not allow anyone else their opinion and must correct them immediately’.

I could reply to you with my own reasoning for why you clearly weren’t paying attention if you think every phase 4 movie is a masterpiece, or how you are at odds with most other human beings with eyes and ears, but I’m happy to have let other people have their opinions.

But I hope you know, your attitude is completely out of place on a movie discussion forum.

[BluBonnet]

You gave your opinion. I simply stated what I thought of that opinion, that's what all movie discussions consist of.

I enjoyed everything in The Infinity Saga except Captain Marvel.

Phase four has been terrible apart from No Way Home, Quantumania looks like it is already on dodgy ground but time will tell.

GotG 3 looks promising and I have high hopes for the Blade reboot but it’s got a lot to live up to.

My interest in Disney and Marvel is definitely waning.

Yes, we know that you like Phase 4 more than just about anyone BluBonnet. Glad it has worked for you. For most (like 3dblurayofsunshine), however, that just plain isn't true. The gate is down. The reviews are down. For example and for perspective, Black Adam and Eternals have similar (negative) rottentomatoes scores - Black Adam is slightly more negative from critics and slightly more positive from audience. What happened? Dwayne Johnson gets cast aside and DC gets likely completely rebooted (together with prior "misses"). Eternals' Chloe Zhao similarly has not been asked back, and Kevin Feige is emphasizing expressly more quality and a reduction in content to help with that. The MCU is stronger, and there is not yet need for a reboot. But the change in direction for both studios tells us all we need to know. MCU Phase 4 by all metrics is not the best ever. And, anecdotally, there were surprisingly cheers and clapping during my theater experience for Black Adam. Absolutely none for Eternals. Completely mute response throughout the whole thing. That matches general critic and audience reaction . . . and bespeaks to why Feige is reacting in this way. People vote with their wallets and feet.

BluBonnet's favorite counter-argument, whenever someone disagrees with him about a movie, is to accuse someone of not having actually watched the movie.

Because if there's anything members of a movie-watching forum must lack, it's eyes.

Blade reboot?

Mahershala Ali makes an uncredited vocal cameo appearance as Blade in a post-credits scene for Eternals (). Just as Dane Whitman is about to pick up the Ebony Blade, an unseen Blade asks him whether he is actually ready for it.

Coming to a screen near you in 2024.

Actually no. Normal movie discussions (or anything discussions) usually consist of:

‘Here’s my opinion’

‘Interesting. Here’s my opinion.’

‘Oh interesting. When you say you felt this bit about this part, I felt this’.

‘Interesting’.



Whereas with you it’s like:

‘Here’s my opinion’.

‘That opinion is FACTUALLY WRONG! I feel SORRY FOR YOU that you can’t appreciate the GENIUS of this mid tier comic book movie. How SAD!’

‘…k’


Now you might argue that discussions frequently end up like the second example, but I’d say a) that’s because you’re involved but mostly b) discussions are more likely to go off the rails when they get political, personal, emotional, because people put some strong ****ing opinions or statements in their review which sets someone else off.

Whereas with you, all it takes for someone to set you off is simply not sharing the same opinion as you. I can write a very mildly worded comment like I did (which kind of sided with you in a way) saying that Phase 4 hasn’t been as bad as a lot of people say, but because I didn’t say Phase 4 is a masterpiece you bizarrely feel personally attacked by it and then reply to my mildly supportive comment in a pretentious and vaguely insulting way, which is rather weird and arguably an extreme overreaction.

Meanwhile, I’m going to continue thinking that it isn’t an intelligence or perception issue keeping me from appreciating the genius of a mid tier comic book movie like Eternals. I just happen to not like Eternals that much. To me, it’s overly long, the script is weak, the universe is empty and the pacing is all over the place.

Ironically, I don’t even necessarily dislike Eternals. I’m happy rewatching it. I think it goes from being a movie I’m bored by in the middle to being a movie I’m happy I stuck with by the end. It’s just not a consistently enjoyable movie to me. Which I’m sure is enough for you to think I’m missing mental faculties merely because I don’t enjoy all of it

[BluBonnet]

That is absolute nonsense. I grew up watching Siskel & Ebert. It's completely natural for even very seasoned reviewers to disagree - wildly, in some instances - about some movies, and be in agreement about other movies. It literally happens ALL the time.

It doesn't mean people have to take it personally, or anything.

Well, these are new super-heroes, less known and are doing their introductions in the MCU. I think people are still too much attached to the previous phases super-heroes, that's why people have been hesitant on these new movies. But on levels of entertainment and narrative they've been good to excelent throughout all the Phase 4. We come from a worldwide pandemic... people are still reluctant too to go watch movie and become ill [with a possible deadly disease]. Also there are too many things in people's minds that are making them less receptive to these new movies. I still believe that in some years people will realize that there was a line of thought... but the pandemic and other events forced them to make some changes so that that line of thought culminates in something great.

I particularly agree with the bolded part.

Phase 4 really opened up things and allowed the filmmakers to take some narrative chances that Marvel simply couldn't have done 10 years ago. At the time, it was much more about simply beginning to set up the fictional universe that we now take for granted.
