Topic: The Marvels
Oh dear. The critics are right. There surly will be no more Captain Marvel films after this? Shame as she was delightful in the first one. I only managed 40 minutes. This should finish off the super hero genre

Re: The Marvels
While I found The Marvels (2023) childish and full of Hollywood's ideals of who and how the upcoming generation should be, I was able to sit thru it...so it is watchable.
Seeing as Marvel Studios are comic book originated it only makes sense their newer additions are going to be geared toward the younger generation. Plus the fact Capt. Marvel (in this MCU franchise) is a ... girl/woman so therefore the new multiverse theme tries to appeal to the girls, hence girl super team, girl bonding, female focus.
As for the MCU...
At first I thought the idea of linking the films together under a common theme was brilliant. It moved along just fine for a bit but I noticed it going bad by Iron Man 3. This newest multiverse MCU is plain idiotic. They should have let it fade away after Endgame (which was a terrible, stupid film).
IMO, the ONLY modern comic book movie worth watching is Zack Snyder's 4hr Justice League (2021)

I'm with you on disliking the MCU but the Snyder cut as an alternative is like if you dropped a weight on your toe and decided to try and relieve the pain by dropping an anvil on the same toe.

Re: The Marvels
Well, LOL, okay...
Frankly, I find ALL comic book movies ... COMIC BOOK MOVIES if you know what I mean.
Not diminishing the talent or creativity of comic book writers and artists, the Marvel/DC movies are a mishmash of politically correct generational agenda driven fodder made to cash in on the boomers love of comics.
I read many comics when I was a kid back in the early 60s. Those comics were not 'proper' just like the Saturday morning cartoons of the day.
I enjoyed the Snyder cut of JL because it was dark.
That being said, there are many genres of films which are higher on my rank list with monster movies and creature features at the top.
