@CJD87 If it was somehow impossible for them to get a Romani actor for Doom considering they whitewashed Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (to the extent that they were working for Nazis despite being Romani)… I’d have taken Julian McMahon or Toby Kebbell over RDJ despite their takes on the character previously being terrible. But still, this is the company who struck gold with Iman Vellani for Ms Marvel. They also found Alaqua Cox who is a young Native American deaf amputee and a brilliant actress who could also pull off the fight scenes required for Echo, to the point she got her own show as her performance was widely praised. It can’t be this difficult to get Doom right but it’s sure as hell easy to get him wrong.
@CJD87 Amen to the “had enough of every movie needing to tie into other multiple franchise entries (TV or Movies) whilst trying also to serve as a standalone narrative.” Both Marvel and Star Wars have almost alienated me entirely because of the sheer quantity of intertwined shows and movies. It’s the movie/TV version of the Legend of Heroes phenomenon. 😅

@Th3solution what’s crazy is that they want it both ways. In every way. They wanna take risks, without taking any. They wanna seem bold, but give the same ol same ol. They wanna seem daring, but they’re as accommodative as ever. You cannot take risks without, Y’know, taking risks.

@Malaise 🤣 you’re not alone.
Yeah the 2003 hulk is its own thing.
Yeah both were 2008.
Don’t worry about cherry picking. I think it’d be quite exhausting to watch all films that came out in the sixteen years.

@Yousef- A good friend of mine is a super fan and I know she'd love nothing more than to binge watch a few Marvel films with a running commentary to fill in all the gaps, perhaps I'll indulge her with a day of films of her choosing as long as she brings the snacks. Upon a cursory glance at upcoming productions, I would be interested in the Fantastic Four and Blade films.
Blade and FF were some of my favorites amongst the non MCU marvel films, I look forward to the new films too. : D

@Malaise I think around Infinity War I started to lose interest. Felt too much like hard work trying to keep up with everything. Apart from the Spider-verse movies and The Batman, I've not enjoyed much since and I've not seen everything. Which I used to, just have little interest comic book films these days.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
