I haven't seen the trailer yet. I'm waiting for my cousin to get home from work so we can watch it together. I'm glad to see Natalie Portman back though. Most of the MCU movies have been at the very least enjoyable so I'm looking forward to Thor Love And Thunder. I really liked Ragnarok. Taika Waititi did a great job breathing new life into the character after the disappointing Thor Dark World. So I'm excited to see where we go in Love & Thunder. I hope Jeff Goldblum is back.

Ragnarok is my favorite Thor movie. Also IMO felt like an Avengers movie.

So far, MCU Phase 4 has been underwhelming (havent seen Spider-man yet).

I still haven't seen The Eternals. No real desire to see it either.

I'm with you on that. Everything about it screams CW Superhero TV show (and that's not a good thing). They killed off a bunch of Avengers and now it's like "here are the Enternals" uh, no thank you.

It sucked.

That's my official review

Don't believe th hype on that teh latest Spiderman movie because it was corny and only showed how much better the other 2 Spiderman actors fit into the role. Can't wait for Tom Holland to be written out and be replaced by one of the other two or Miles Morales.

Looks as bad and as Ragnarok.
Not a Taika Waititi fan and don't like any of his unfunny movies.

Exactly. It just looks so bland. I'm sure I'll probably watch it at some point just in case it lays any groundwork for future movies in the MCU. I heard Blade has a cameo in it so that will probably lead to something bigger.

It's a really boring movie with characters that have nothing to do and no stakes.
Can't remember Blade being in it or a cameo but by 30 minutes into the movie I was already tryinig hard to stay awake.
Can't wait for Dr Strange 2 tho and how that will fit with Loki and the TVA, that was a great show like Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Wandavision had it's moments but was ruined by the annoying badly acted Agatha person. teh less said about Hawkeye the better. Moon Knight is disappointing to.

Looks like the "restore the Snyderverse" folks just got some more bad news. Ezra Miller (aka The Flash) keeps getting into trouble.

This could get me excited for the MCU again;

'World War Hulk' leaks al...opping ...

He's a shit actor anyway so if he's replaced, I doubt he'll be missed. It should be interesting to see how WB deal with this though. They dropped Johnny Depp from that Harry Potter thing but kept serial abuser Amber Heard on for Aquaman.

Haven't seen Aquaman but saw her cameo in the Justice League movie, she was horrible

Sounds cool, but the overal arc just isn't that interesting, with the avenger dropping the ball with the last movies I'm doubtful I could get excited with these phases.
I would love to see Disney/Marvel do a proper MCU with the X-Men and FF4 and just start over, I think most of the actors were badly cast anyway so getting new actors who fit the parts better would be cool to.

I don't see that happening to be honest. Those last Avengers movies might not have been your cup of tea but they made boatloads of cash and received pretty high critical acclaim. As a business, Disney would be incredibly stupid to just start over at this point. They are working on a new Fantastic Four movie though and they have the rights to X-Men now so hopefully there's some sort of middle ground that can be reached that would make you happy while also continuing to appeal to everyone else.

I hope so. I just would finally like to see a comic acurate portrayal of MCU characters for a change instead of these cartoony Disneyfied and even some useless to plain boring and badly executed characters who are just there because they have the rights to them (Hulk, Shang Chi, Eternals, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Spiderman, all those useless Shield ops etc. too many to name)
Not that Tobey Maguire was that great as Spiderman but I hear he's back in Dr Strange 2 so that's better than that Tom Holland guy. The only good one to me is still Andrew Garfield but we probbaly won't see him anymore.

Aquaman was ok. Like, it was shit. But entertaining at the same time. It's actually probably my favourite DCEU movie. Which, admittedly, isn't saying much. Though, it's worth noting that Amber Heard has a completely different accent in Aquaman than she had in Justice League.

Does the first Wonder Woman movie count as apart of the DCEU? Is so that's my favorite DC movie

I've never been a comic book fan. Truth be told, I've never read any. So I suppose the fact that the MCU may not be accurate to the source material has never really bothered me. Tobey Maguire will always be my favourite Spider-Man. Maybe it's because I was the right age for his movies (I was 12 when the first movie came out) but to me, he'll always be the "real" Spider-Man. Just like Christopher Reeve is the "real" Superman and Michael Keaton is the "real" Batman. I never liked Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. Until No Way Home. He was actually really good in that and it made me wonder what he'd be capable of if they actually gave him a good script to work with. And I wouldn't be surprised if he was to play the character again at some point based on the public's reception to his performance in No Way Home.

I don't know, I think they'll use Tobey maguire to introduce Miles Morales as a new Spiderman.
I haven't seen Morbius yet so i don't know in which universe he and Venom fit.
