Can we admit the only reason any actual comic readers pretend this is good is because they enjoy being able to say their brand is popular?

Probably.
There aren't that many actual comic readers to begin with.

At its very worst, the MCU is mediocre, but it has done an amazing job in expanding Marvel just beyond the Hulk, Spider-Man, and X-Men in the minds of casuals, opening up the possibility of more characters from Marvel getting more recognition, which is a good thing because FoX-Men have run its fucking course after nearly a decade and a half, and the Spider-Man movies were of varying levels of quality since 2.

No one pretends to like anything.

You ever try to get laid user?
You'd be surprised.

>he asks a board overrun by movieshit casuals

>muh books

But know they have the x-men. Plus Tom Holland Spider-Man is the worst one ever

I dunno man, some readers like recent shit like the Winter Soldier and even Civil War for whatever reason, and the movies used that.

stop fucking crying

Maybe they too like shallow blockbusters?

Marvel has very few interesting character though. The whole universe makes me cringe out of my skin.

Based user, MCU has been kind to C-Listers like Ant-Man and I'm glad of that

MCU Tony is better than current 616 Stark.

the MCU is far far far better than the absolute dogshit that Marvel comics has been for the last 14 years, in fact better than it ever was since the big two comics are mostly trash from them being infinite stories with different writers who can't keep the characters consistent, change them in any coherent manner and do the same stories over and over again

>MCU has been kind to C-Listers like Ant-Man and I'm glad of that
Not the GotG characters.

Not a high bar for a long time, to be fair.

2010 had a bunch of good comics at Marvel, right before they fired the editors. They probably wanted to go out with a bang.

Not a high bar, but an important. 616 Tony is currently an emasculated punchline loser, who's not an actual Stark and also dead, with his clone being run by an AI.
I mean, RDJ all the time.

MOTHER FUCK SUMMON GODDAMN BOLT AND BLAST HIS ASS. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON YOU RUNNING ON FOOT TO AXE MINIONS ONE BY ONE WHERE THE FUCK WAS A GODDAMN TORNADO DURING THE ENDGAME FIGHT THOR WHERE THE FUCK

Fuck MCU writers, you're right. It's just frustrating to watch. Listen bros, you can let members of the team shine while still letting others shine in their strengths. MCU takes the route of just making characters useless entirely just to boost others. Makes no goddamn sense that Hulk didn't do shit in Endgame.

Well if we're counting current status, MCU Tony is also dead.

Most of post-2000 comics shouldn't be used as a standard or inspiration for anything, even. Tony had been a complete piece of shit since Civil War, finally got kinda fixed for a bit, then synergy wank got out of control, Original Sin happened, etc.

But how else would they wank Tony that hard? You know, because they totally HAD to kill him off so he had to go out big.

>opening up the possibility of more characters from Marvel getting MOVIE SYNERGY™
Fixed

You can do good and creative stuff with cape stuff
>cw, logan, raimi spiderman, shazam

Too bad the majority is capeshit with zero effort that dont expand anything and is just OMG COMICS IN REAL LIFE XD

Russo Brothers are hacks. More at your local news at 11.

I recently read Iron Man : Legacy and I found it awesome. But then again, it draws from the 80s, even if it's a 10s run.

This. I'd also argue that it's done a lot for superheroes in general. It's kind of odd in that it's really formulaic but it's also pushed the boundaries in terms of getting past origin stories, mixing the superhero genre in with other genres, like space opera with GotG, political spy thrillers with TWS, BP, and BW coming up, and finally, pushing the cinematic universe, which I think is a pretty big deal for movies in general.

I'm happy the MCU exists more so than I would be if it didn't.

>and is just OMG COMICS IN REAL LIFE XD
Only it's not, and that's the problem. It's all so bland....comics are full of characters with insane powers, in the most outlandish costumes, and is a visual artform based largely on being visually dynamic and bombastic....and yet rarely do comic movies offer anything other than the most basic soulless visuals. Even Raimi's movies kind of failed in this regard, Tim Burton seemed to be the only one to nail it even if it was done in his own quirky style.

I mean, yeah, the MCU had to walk before it could run. The fact that we got something like Thor Ragnarok or Black Panther is pretty far out there.

And let's be honest, the X-Men is a franchise that gets held back because of its super dense lore. Every new writer who wants to make it big adds dozen more X-Men characters, and then there are all these bizarre ass facts to keep straight.
>>Dark Phoenix is actually an evil entity that wasn't Jean Grey
>>Cyclops' eye beams don't generate heat, they are concussive forces (Whatever that means)
>>Dazzler can't really die because of something mutation
>>Mother fucking Xorn

The Nick Fury movie was serviceable.

Ya'll are bitches. Tony got his moment because RDJ was done. Thor got Thor 4.

>I mean, yeah, the MCU had to walk before it could run.
Except it didn't. Turns out the first MCU movies were the best in most cases.

>Every new writer who wants to make it big adds dozen more X-Men characters
Does anyone even care about most post-Claremont characters? Maybe X-23 and team at best.
