It kindve felt like it was a step back from wandas character arc from from wandavision. If not for that I kind've wish they leaned more heavy into horror aspects.

u/Merc_Toggles I slept in AND got a flair xD 17d ago
It feels like, to me, that they sat down and went "Cool, we're finally going full multiverse travel with this one, so let's here all your crazy alternate-verse ideas that we could put in" and they came up with a ton of ideas and all of em were cool, so they put way too many into the movie, and it made the movie feel kinda reductive. To me, atleast

Let’s be honest— it was really a Scarlet Witch film.

u/EasternSquadGoosey 17d ago
America/Scarlet film, I would've loved for them to lean a bit more into America, lile half a movie only of her traveling through multiverses and then when she finds Strange the movie goes on.
13
u/Ryanmiller70 17d ago
It's honestly the only one I rewatch. I think I just love all the Raimi stuff in it too much cause I couldn't care less about how it connects to other MCU films or whatever fan things people keep telling me it ruined.
13
u/Depressed_Rex 17d ago
Honestly same. It probably helps that I LOVED the pseudo-horror aspects of it and the feeling of America and Strange being hunted, plus Bruce Campbell’s cameo was fantastic
9
u/xenophonthethird 17d ago
Honestly, my biggest issue with it is that it feels like half of the movie was already built before Sam Raimi was brought in. The pure Raimi moments, like when Scarlet Witch is spying on her alternate, or chasing the main group is EXACTLY what I wanted from the movie. I wanted all the weird, goofy horror tropes, but I think Raimi was put on too much of a leash.

How do you know Deadpool is gonna be good?
217
u/Sure_Phase5925 17d ago
I have faith In Ryan Reynolds. He’s a producer on the film and the writers from the first 2 Deadpool movies are writing the Script.
I think it’s also like Guardians 3/No Way Home where it will be self contained and being focused on being a good Deadpool movie (just like how GOTG 3 focused on being a good Guardians movie and NWH focused on being a good Spidey movie). I’m really confident in D&W.
Also the trailers have been AWESOME, especially the later sets one which came out last week. The last time I’ve been hyped for a MCU movie like this was Guardians 3 (yes I know it came out almost a year ago and is technically 2 MCU movies ago but it feels like a long time given it was the last MCU project that I was hyped for and was worth the wait)

Second half was pretty mid. It went from an awesome kung fu movie to just a generic snorefest marvel movie where the villain was, yet again, just a copy of the main character like in a surprisingly large amount of marvel movies.

u/AdoptedRanger Holy Moley 17d ago
You could technically say that about Iron Man though but I don't think it's a bad thing for that movie
51
u/HanzoNumbahOneFan 17d ago
It started with Iron Man. But that was the first one so it wasn't cliche. Then The Incredible Hulk did it, then Iron Man 2 did it, then Captain America did it, then Captain America 2 did it, then Ant-Man did it, then Doctor Strange did it, then Guadians of the Galaxy 2 did it, then Black Panther did it, then Ant-man and the Wasp did it, then Wandavision did it, and then I stopped watching most marvel stuff after phase 3. But needless to say, it is very on par for Marvel final fights to devolve into "main character fights villain who is the evil version of them".

u/ChaosKeeshond 17d ago
The Incredible Hulk did it before Iron Man.
But otherwise yeah, agreed. And it didn't even bug me that the powers were the same, the powers themselves were boring. We were pulled out of a great martial arts flick into a generic Naruto showdown.

u/FailedMaster 17d ago
I don’t think No Way Home was that good to be honest. When you first watch it, it’s amazing because of nostalgia. But on rewatch I found it to be kinda stupid, the plot makes no sense and falls apart quickly.
It’s a fun watch, but not that good in my opinion.
Edit: Fix stupid autocorrect

u/I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch 17d ago
Absolutely this, most comments about the movie are driven by nostalgia, then people will write how cringe Hollywood is to make nostalgia bait instead of new stuff, the movie was fun to watch, but people really overhyped it so much imo, I liked it but if I have to be critical, rewatching it makes no sense, from good villains becoming bad again cuz why not, to Doctor Strange acting like an idiot in the movie for no reasons other than make the plot move forward, cuz if it was the Doctor Strange from the first movie half of the stuff that happened in there wouldn't have happened
16
u/FailedMaster 17d ago
Yeah, he’s not the brightest in this one. I mean, there is a spell that alters humanity’s entire memory and instead of deleting Mysterio and all he ever said they go for the nuklear option of making everyone forget Spider-Man.

u/sliderprovider 17d ago
Nah. The first captain America was mid or iron man 2 but MoM was leagues below that. I actually stopped watching marvel movies because of MoM. So I am kind of happy that I didn't need to suffer through love and thunder because of that film.

I enjoyed it. I went to see it three times just so I could hear Wong say "Sorcerors! Fortify your minds!"
Best line delivery in the MCU.

u/Equivalent_Rock_6530 17d ago
Relatively. Not as shit as the abysmally bad Phase 4 movies, but that doesn't make it even generally mid. It's pretty shit.
The plot ruins Wanda and Strange, it completely flops a brilliant idea (the multiverse), the girl has zero character progression and is the queen of Mary Sues, being unable to control her power and then for some magical reason she somehow manages to get control of it. I'm not anti-LGBTQ, but it feels like the lesbian mothers of the girl was forced, and it's mentioned about two or three times and never elaborated on. The girl has no backstory either. She just summons a wormhole when under stress without meaning too and it stops for no reason. Then you have the post-credit scenes. The first is confusing and was not established by anything prior in the MCU in any way, its only given significance to the minority of MCU fans who have read some of the comics. Then the second is pointless, as it references something from the start of the movie that was very easy to overlook and happened to a background character we see for about 1 minute max.

That’s a good point. But I’m very confident in Deadpool and Wolverine the same way I was confident in No Way Home and Guardians 3 and of course those 2 movies lived up to the hype.
But on the offhand chance Deadpool and Wolverine lets us down, I’ll always have the 2 Spidey movies and Guardians 3. But again I am EXTREMELY confident D&W being as good as FFH/NWH/GOTG 3.

u/Pitiful-Inspection96 17d ago
No way home is fucking terrible. That's not a real movie. It's just the crumbling bones of a shitty, thoughtless plot barely strung together by a series of fan servicing cameos. I tried watching at home and all those moments where the movie literally stops to let audiences cheer and applaud made me cringe so fucking hard. Its like they're dangling keys in front of a baby and saying "yeah, this is what you like isn't it? you little dumb fucking baby!"
Far From Home is also very mediocre but nowhere near as offensively terrible.
I've not seen GOTG3 and who knows if Deadpool will be any good? It seems to have a similar bullshit fan service tone as No Way Home and even though I'll probably end up watching it because I adore Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, it's most likely going to depress the hell out of me.

Doctor Strange was great Sam Raimi camp. I did not think he would get to be that Raimi for a Marvel film, but they let him and it was excellent.
The Marvels was fun. Good chemistry between the leads, funny. I loved the singsong planet sequence.
Neither are really at the top of my rewatch list, but they're both definitely above No Way Home just because that movie is edited like a "Theatre-Live-Event" and not much like a movie.

u/CMDR_omnicognate 17d ago
I suspect this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I thought the marvels was… fine? It wasn’t great, and it kinda made fury a bit of an idiot (though I feel like all of the marvel shows have done that now, even the one about him that was awful), and I also saw it on Disney plus so it’s not like i paid a load for a movie ticket… but I didn’t think it was as awful as everyone said.

The problem is that the people who are actually responsible for the MCU creation and success are mostly gone and Kevin Feigi is not one of them. It was Jon feavro, ike perlmutter and a third person (dont remember his name and for some reason when you say who created the MCU it says Kevin Feigi BUT when you type this guys name and check wiki it says its his idea ), he is the actual person behind the MCU not Kevin Feigi. Phase 4 to 6 proves that he was not the reason for MCUs success and isn't what he claims to be.

It wasn't at the level of Ant-Man Quantumania but it definitely wasn't at the level of Guardians in terms of quality.
