Marvel Movie Night: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Did I want to watch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 tonight? No - not really. But I bought a new planner, and decided to be slightly more proactive about my projects - even on work days, even when I'm tired. And turning on Disney+ and pushing play seemed like the low effort task I could accomplish tonight.

I'll be straight with you - the first time I watched this movie, I really, really didn't like it. This time - I didn't think it was that bad, honestly. It's never going to be anywhere near my favorite, and honestly, I'll still (blasphemously) probably pick Thor The Dark World over this but, I will admit that it is a very solidly done movie.

The movie kind of hangs itself more on thematic material and less on plot. Kind of like a Beethoven sonata. Hmm. (There's probably no one out there that will that joke, but I amused myself.) Anyway - and that theme is family.

All of the story threads throughout the film all hinge on family -- Peter dealing with finding his real dad vs accepting his adoptive dad has his real one. Gamora and Nebula coming to terms with their childhood. Rocket figuring out what found family is. And, you know, the whole idea that the group is a family. And, I mean, the script is really solid and coherent. Maybe I've been watching some not as coherent things lately? Idk - but I did appreciate that it all hung together decently well, even if, my big gripe with the overall story, is that it felt a little surface level (to me).

But I can understand why this film resonates with people in the same way things like the Avengers film resonates with me. You just really come to care about the characters and who cares if it is more or less a popcorn flick, you just kind of love the easiness of it all. So I get it - if this movie is your thing - I get it.

That said - there are still a bunch of things that don't work for me, and they are as follows: The sense of humor still feels like an 8yo boy wrote the jokes, and in an almost sitcom-like way, the more serious moments are always punctuated by moments of juvenile humor. The tonality is a little weird - the funniest moment in the film (Groot getting the wrong things) was followed by the darkest - Yondu going on an artful mass murdering spree (also this film wanted badly to be rated R, but you can tell where James Gunn was forced to rein it in.). The third act descends into another CGI bloated mess. And, as usual for my beloved Marvel films, Ego is kind of a weak villain.

Also, guys, please don't hate me on this one - wasn't that big a fan of the sound track. Oops.

You know what, though - the film looks really good. I can kind of tell the weakness of the most recent Marvel projects - because this film is super polished, and maybe because I have a newer TV than the first time I watched it, the CGI didn't hurt my head as much. It's a very beautiful film over all.

Final Verdict: It's a solidly good film - just... not one for me.

Next Up: Spider-Man Homecoming!! I didn't not realize this and now I'm super excited :D

If I had a nickel for every time Owen Wilson was involved in a Gay Slow-burn Relationship I’d have 4 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened four times

#owen wilson #tom hiddleston #lobius #night at the museum #jedtavius #i mean come on #it’s a weird coincidence but a coincidence nonetheless #that man is the gayest straight man I’ve ever met #loki #loki laufeyson #marvel #marvel mcu #the internship #cars movie #cars meme #lightning mcqueen #tow mater

Marvel Movie Night: Thor Ragnarök

*blows dust off movie reviews*

It's been a while! And I stopped just as the movies were starting to really get good. Looking at the list, we're kind of moving into when Marvel hits the heights of its power.

So, I'm going to be honest, I don't have a whole lot to say about this film. It's good. It's solidly good. It's before Taika Waititi goes off the rails a bit, and when the MCU allowed itself to stray a bit from its own convention. It's fun and wacky and stills know when to put in the heart. And as we all know, Thor needed some much needed lightning to really elevate the character, who struggled on his own. It works, I feel like I can't really add to what's already been said a hundred times over.

I'm going to just bullet point the few thoughts that I do have...

Thor and Loki's sibling relationship is really the heart of this one. While Loki can seem to be on his own, I feel like one thing missing from Thor's fourth movie was Loki.

Doctor Strange is fantastic in this movie. I kind of wish we got this version of the character more often.

All the bright colors! It's a nice homage to the drug induced insanity of 70s comics.

Most of the comedy in this film really lands. Though there are a few things, here and there, that don't. I don't think the opening bit is that amusing, but it definitely sets the tone.

There are some really beautiful sequences in here - like Odin's death and the death of the Valkyries. The film is grounded when it needs to be, and that's a nice touch.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Tessa Thompson is great in this film. I don't more to elaborate on, but the character is a good addition.

All the Korg stuff is perfect.

I'm not usually a big Hulk fan, but I think he's used to great affect here. I feel like Marvel should do more team-up movies like this.

Every time Thor brought up his weird dreams, it made me think about how much Age of Ultron was really just a set up movie for this.

I'm a little torn about Hela. Cate Blanchett seems to be enjoying herself a lot, and I appreciate the camp of her not taking herself too seriously. But they really didn't do much with her since she was away from the action for so much of the film. She feels a little flat because of it.

There are a few things that don't quite land - the disposal of the Warriors Three just feels gratuitously mean. Sure, I didn't think they worked in the films either, but I felt like there could have been a more respectful way to send them off. Also, everything with Idris Elba feels like it's from some other fantasy movie.

Jeff Goldblum is a comedic genius. 'Yay, us!'

When Thanos shows up after the credits, it feels uncomfortably dark. It felt a little bittersweet that this is the last Thor and Loki adventure (possibly - it's the MCU so who really knows).

Final Verdict: It's a good film! The one thing I couldn't help feeling when watching this one is how, yes, the MCU does have a bit of same-ness to everything it does. But at least this movie has a ton of fun doing it.

Next Up: Black Panther! For which I have no pity comment.

honestly, Gael García Bernal choosing to participate in an MCU project that doesn't feel like an MCU project, playing a character that is quite unknown to the general audience of the Marvel movies, was a peak Gael García Bernal thing to do

Something I don't like about the current state of the MCU (and DCU) is just how much work it all is. Some pretentious European movie from the 70's didn't require 30 other movies to provide context. You can pretty much watch any James Bond film in any order, there's not a lot of continuity to deal with. LOTR is an incredible series with a long plot but it's still only 3 movies; you only had to watch 2 other movies before Return of the King.

But with the MCU there's just so much! I think most people were following along fine until Endgame, but then it started to branch out too much. We get a new show every week, the multiverse idea just means that there are more and more threads to deal with and I just don't feel like it's working towards anything at all. Like, is She-Hulk required viewing before The Marvels? What context am I missing if I watch Quantumania but I didn't see any of the movies beforehand? Before Endgame there was certainly an issue with too many of the movies feeling like Origin stories, but at least they didn't require a lot of context. But now I'm so far behind that it just feels like a chore to catch up.

DCU has it worse since they keep rebooting everything. If your movie is meant to setup 5 future films and those films never come, then your movie isn't even good on its own. Apparently the next Avengers movie is going to be a soft reboot the MCU, so it's like why bother?

The films have finally grown all the same issues the comics had. Too many plotlines going on at once, constant retconning, and a focus on big events instead of just telling good stories one at a time. I would be so happy if we just kept getting standalone films that didn't really tie into each other so I could just watch them whenever. If they just made a new Batman each year with no plot carrying over I'd watch them all. Why did Columbo get popular again out of nowhere? There's 70 episodes and no plot to carryover so you can just watch one and get a complete story. Literally the best comic book projects to come out recently were fairly standalone or at least didn't need a lot of context. Werewolf by Night, Across the Spiderverse, The Batman and TMNT didn't need 30 movies of backstory and they didn't spend a lot of time just introducing characters for future movies. Spiderverse of course is different in that it is a sequel and a 3rd film is coming to finish the story but 3 movies is a reasonable number of movies to carry a plot over!

And what really gets me is that I did like the MCU a lot up to Endgame. I was pretty much watching them all as they came out in theaters. It was so much easier to do then. I think there are good stories to be told in the comic book superhero genre, but I don't think Hollywood can carry a plot over 40 films and have it work.

you know they fucked up when their movie's rating graph starts looking like this. you've ruined a perfectly good movie, is what you've done. look at it, it's got lazy generative AI art.

#late night with the devil #still disappointed at this and angry at all the dumbasses who say the outrage is unfounded because #'it's only for a few seconds!' and 'it's an indie movie!' well fuck off thats why it hurts more #they can use images in the public domain if they dont want to pay an illustrator. but ai is so lazy. and it looks worse.#but yeah no tolerance. not here not in marvel not in disney not anywhere.#they have time to change them for actual art pieces for the digital release. they better get on that.#it sucks for the rest of the cast and crew but it is what it is (also p sure everyone l #(pretty sure everyone else alrrady got paid so yeah #according to jules
