    I’ll save you 300 hours: I’ve seen Iron Man, Antman 2, and the Chinese rings movie so I’m pretty much caught up. If I had to guess, Avengers Doomsday is about a bunch of super heroes (Iron Man, Spiderman(?), Spandex Boobs, Lightning Man, Dr. Magic etc) who have to save the universe by teaming up and beating the ultimate baddies (i.e. Dark Galactus, Mutant Man, Killbot, Planet Killer, Killstroyer etc.).

    Spoiler - the good guys win, but hang around for the credits because Planet Killer…HAS A SON! 🤯 And you’ll never guess which of the good guys is actually a double agent (it’s Spandex Boobs) 🤯🤯

    Here’s a shitty flow chart i made. If you read this flowchart, it’ll only take you 30 seconds per movie. So, in total, it should only take you 20 minutes or so.

    Do people actually like these movies? Besides children and redditors. Are these now like those Adam Sandler Movies that he makes to launder money and to hang out with his friends who have no real relevance anymore?

      I had a friend who loved them and she’d make me go see every one and I’d find ways to make myself incredibly drunk before heading into the screening.

      I enjoyed the first wave where they had no idea what they were doing yet, so Captain America was kind of a spy movie and Thor was E.T. But Hot. Once they settled in on a formula, it became impossible to give a damn.

      idk I’m sure my cousin loves them, he’s got a comic book collection that’s worth buy a house money. The only super hero movies I ever found enjoyable was sam rami’s spider-man, dredd, first couple of x-men flicks. Back before these movies started with the shared universe shit and you had to do homework in watching other movies, to follow along. Oh an Blade, Blade 2 also, can’t forget those, probably the best marvel movies.

        Lol these are the same Marvel movies that I like. I also did enjoy the Hulk 2003 and the Punisher 2004. With DC stuff I think the old stuff is mostly good or ok, I just really hate Zack Snyder and Gal Gadot. The new Superman movie was cool too.

        This two are good because they are also vampire movies, vampire + action is a rare genre of movies.

        And the third one sucks because of deadpool. I can’t watch more than 10min of the movie.

          Fun Fact; Blade Trinity was supposed to promote a spin-off movie called Nightstalkers with Hannibal (the deadpool actor) and Abigail as the main characters. It didn’t work out because no one liked those characters and the movie was bad.

            If Morbius was more action and less talk would be a very good B movie action slop.

        he’s got a comic book collection that’s worth buy a house money.

        I’m really glad the fandoms I’m interested in are like, that one small book series by a perfectly average writer, the Rats of NIMH, and some of the older Call of Duty’s. Stuff that’s pretty cheap to get into.

        This one guy I know has a similar flavor of autism to me, and he has a bunch of Warrior Cats stuff, especially the books. And Warrior Cats has a LOT of books in it.

      Honestly I think the main market for these movies is people who say “let’s go to a movie” and then have no idea what’s coming out so they just look at what’s currently playing and they pick the thing that they figure is the most safe bet.

      that’s for theaters, when it’s streaming slop the main market doesn’t matter because people are rarely actually watching what they’re streaming that’s why Netflix now mandates that you restate the plot of the film multiple times to make sure people can follow along.

      I watch it cuz I like superpowers and fantasy. I also like those “character X power scenes compilation” on youtube. It’s empty entertainment, if it was smart I probably wouldn’t like it. Sometimes you just need something dumb and visually stimulating to catch your attention for a while. I’ll also watch movies and shows if there’s a really hot guy in the cast or if there’s a lot of overacting. That movie with the alien soap bubble and the mutant bear screaming help is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time just for the visuals, I watch it from time to time but I can’t even remember the name. That’s how little I care about movies.

    The last movie I’ve watched from MCU was “Captain America: Brave New World”. It was alright I guess, but my interest in marvel movies has pretty much ended with Avengers Endgame in 2019

    Imagine all the things you could do with three hundred hours. All the people you could meet, the skills you could learn, the places you could go.

    Or sink into the slop till your thoughts stop.
