Wanda takes an entire town of innocent people hostage because she lost someone she loved, and is still considered a hero. John Walker who killed terrorists because they killed his partner is considered to be a villian! Mind you that these terrorists also have killed innocents in the name of revolution! That's a big L for Marvel!
Well, the terrorists can be killed. They could've leaned into an omni man or homelander situation, since clearly she's that powerful. They didn't, but they could've.
@@semiawesomatic6064Or they could've just let it be an emotional scene of justified revenge that he then has to recover from the trauma of. It's like calling a Navy Seal team omni man or homelander for shooting terrorists.
How was Wanda considered a hero when she was wanted by the fbi the entire show and the literal antagonist the next time we see her post Wanda vision? Very clear she was corrupted by the dark hold at that point…
Thanos was the good guy after all. Think about it, he tried to prevent all of this from happening. He tried to save us from Phase 4 & beyond. Perhaps we may've treated him too harshly.
"youve taken a whole town hostage" "im not the one with the guns director" "no shit youve taken a town hostage, were you not listening ?" is how that should have gone lol
“There’s a hot chick over there, I’m gonna go talk to it” is an objectively hilarious line, even if the writers didn’t mean for it to be funny in that way.
The saddest part about She-Hulk is that this modern characterization that she has, is purely from the 2010s. Up until then, Jen was the original Deadpool, where she loved sex, had one-liners, broke the fourth wall, and also had a tragic element to her that underlined her whole character to give her more depth. OG comic She-Hulk was absolutely distraught over the fact that she got the better deal. Bruce saved her life and gave her a blood transfusion, and she became She-Hulk, but didn’t get any of the negatives that Bruce got. She doesn’t have a split personality, she can shift whenever she wants, and things are just generally easier for her, and this fact eats away at her, because believe it or not, she actually loved her cousin, and was confused as to why she got the better deal. So she used her powers as a lawyer to not only defend her cousin, but try to help him. Of course, she also rarely transformed out of her hulk form because, well, she liked how sexy it made her. So yeah, Jen was originally a three-dimensional character who loves the perks that she’d gotten from her powers, but always had it in the back of her mind that she needed to do everything in her power to make sure she used her powers to protect the person who not only saved her life, but gave her these powers. Modern comics, and this show, have done her SO dirty.
I dread the day they make GwenPool (a nerd who uses her powers as most of us would) that knows its on a comic and switches to manga style at random ... to get butchered as some mean gal that just wants to lecture everyone while making fun of OG deadpool because she haves more "4wall" powers all while insulting the viewers.
@CopiousDoinksLLC I know I'm super late but ur cement made me laugh so hard and reminded me when I was a teen playing rise of the imperfects for ps2 and discovering u can unlock "bombshell" art of marvel ladies lol
When you mention how Falcon and the Winter Solider failed at making an empathetic villain, my mind instantly went to Tai-Lung in Kung Fu Panda 1. Tai-Lung you can sympathize. He was raised by master Shifu who believed he was the Dragon Warrior, only for his master, Oogway to say other wise because of sensing his dark intentions, leading Tai-Lung to attack the village and Oogway to stop/ imprison him. The difference is that while we understand why Tai-Lung is angry/ felt betrayed by Shifu he is STILL a villain! The movie doesn't try to absolve his actions or say he is right. No, he's a bad guy; he hurts people, hurts Shifu and thus Po is the one who needed to defeat him. What these ideologically bent people in Hollywood need to realize is when crafting a villain, they still need to be a villain! It's almost like they want to write villains and don't understand heroes. Marvel failed in this account with Wanda and many of their films recently.
what also helps with tai lung is that shifu actually DOES try and absolve his actions by apologizing, but tai lung refuses it and instead continues trying to kill him, showing he can’t be saved
Yeah, they lost their moral compass. They forget that the show is watch by many people also children and teenagers who can take their moral standards seriously and apply it in real world. What is the most important thing in a story is the lesson they give us, because it's can unconsciously influence us. If they want to make story from villain perspective, why didn't they make a villain movie like Joker. No matter how much we feel sympathy for him, at least we know he is a villain and what he did was wrong. No need to say what the bad guy did is right, and they are the heroes. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong. Why force a narrative that what they do is always right? They can make spiderman in no way home admit that he do something so terrible that it's almost destroy his word, so why didn't do that too for other heroes?
I like how Marvel implied that getting cat called is somehow worse than getting a gamma bomb exploded in the face, hunted down by military everywhere you go and literally having an alter ego that completely took over your body for years.
His alter ego is literally a manifestation from when he got abused as a child, too... but yeah, getting complimented in the streets is worse... somehow
I like that Falcon and the winter soldier unintentionally made John walker more relatable the entire series they were dumping on him and made him feel like a jerk for not being steve rogers and then they tried to make him look like the bad guy for killing someone who killed his best friend and they wanted to chalk it off as him being crazy after the serum when one can easily interpret that as a human emotion anyone in that particular scene would feel
Uhh.. Carly killed Lamar. How come everyone missed the point that they had him kill a random dude because they wouldn't show him killing a woman just like they wouldn't have Sam even throw a punch at her in the end? Even when he came after her later, he never landed a punch on her. But I mean....men are 0 for all of it in fights against women in the MCU so....
Nono.. You don't understand. A group of terrorists, planning to kill a bunch of innocent people because random world problems, is emotional turmoil and deep emotional stakes. A dude killing a terrorist that bombed innocent people and just killed your best friend is... Evil. And bad. Kinda like a person inadvertently killing a crazy, violent, criminal, homeless man, trying to defend himself and other people around from the homeless, is...evil. Meanwhile a group of people going around, smashing cars and properties, , attacking people and killing innocent people, is "justice". Kinda like the trans school shooter that is a victim...and apparently the kids deserved it (Disney style far left talking points. Yep, for real)
I Still don't understand why Loki didn't grab at least 1 Infinity Stone to put in his pocket, BECAUSE he could have used it when he wasn't at the T.V.A.
If it's comic logic, then they only work in the home universe, so he would have to be ludicrously lucky to end up in the home universe they came from. Beside the fact that they probably taken from wiped out timelines so they might not work anywhere.
@@Stuartw100Then why the stones taken by the Avengers function in their universe? You can say it's because the original were destroyed, but that doesn't change the fact that they are from a different universe and shouldn't work because of that, does it?. And that still leaves us with the problem of the catastrophic consequences the Ancient One said that the absence of the stones would cause, but in the Avengers universe there were five years without said consequences
@alejandrovillalba3143 I assumed it was the same universe, just time traveling, but MCU really has not shown the difference between timelines and parallel universes.
@@Edward-Not-Elric didn't bruce make a whole show about how changing something in the past branches said timeline into a different universe though? Wouldn't that technically make it a different universe then?
I genuinely can't joke about she hulk, as it just pisses me off. Because you can't criticize the stupidity behind the people who even admitted they cant write what they're writing, without being treated like you've been convicted of strangling a puppy.
Let's not forget about She hulk that she wrecked Bruce's bar (THAT HE BUILT WITH HIS DEAD BEST FRIEND) and then had the fucking cheek to carve her own name in it when they fixed it
A thing I couldn't help but notice: Kate Bishop was stripped of all the things that made her a fun character. In the comics, she is arrogant, she is spoiled, she is a brat... And she is also as good as her mentor (if not more) and has a dry sense of humour. She's essentially a valley girl with combat training. She and Hawkeye share a dynamic in which they constantly try to surpass the other, which is funny, cool and cute. In the series, the most I could tell about her is that she.... Likes being Hawkeye¿?
I’m a big Kate bishop fan and I totally agree. I think Steinfield is a great casting but hopefully they can improve the writing and characterization for Bishop in future projects.
Ah, WandaVision. It started very promising, and in the end, they did a complete 180 in an attempt to try and redeem Wanda. And to do what? To make her a villain in MoM. Like, seriously, Disney, what the actual F?
I honestly didn't mind Hawkeye. Clint felt more capable, prepared, profesional and proficient than Kate Bishop, if anything, I think he actually fixes all her mistakes and ends up looking like a father figure to her.
@@chocochib9913 I can understand the bait and switch if you only see the title of the series, but during the intro you clearly see that the focus will be on Kate BIshop.
@@DZatheus guess what, when audience come around to see a show with a character name on it , that character should be the main focus. Literally Hawkeye could have finished everything on his own and it only extended due to the Kate bishops dropping from ceiling every time. Kate bishops is still way better character than all they have introduced in phase 4
@@Сайтамен I didn't like the portrayal of Kingpin either. I will say full disclosure this is a more comic accurate version of Kingpin especially for the run this series is based on, that being said it is an inferior product to that of the Daredevil Netflix series which is the gold standard as far as I am concerned.
Dont forget that Bruce Banner was trapped as the Hulk for an extended time, turned into a slave, and made to murder people in a gladiatorial arena for the amusment of his master. Definitely a worse fate than being a modern-day female attorney.
Standards for greatness. Men : literally have to suffer for life and save the world and die. Women : just exist and resent the genuine criticism. That's she hulk.
it kinda annoys me a bit that Hawkeye is dismissed so easily as a super hero, to me he was the Batman of the MCU, incredibly skilled and prepared for almost anything, and he had some great moments in the movies. Still a shame to see him replaced with an inferior version that somehow is better than him in almost every way despite its lack of life experience. It is quite stupid. Though the same is happening to every OG character so...
I love the Hawkeye character so I was excited for the show. When I heard rumors it was actually about the chick I didn't even bother to watch it. So upsetting
The biggest crime was what they did to kingpin. 100 pound Kate is able to fight kingpin the same guy who fought daredevil and bullseye...on her own...EMPOWERMENT!
I mean, the MCU'S attempt to make the audience believe that Wanda was the victim in WandaVison worked because people are going out of their way to find excuses for her 😂
@@tsuumee4545it’s so baffling. had they made it to where she didn’t know, they could’ve made genuinely convincing dilemma for her basically having to lose her family all over again, which would also make her actions in multiverse of madness more understandable
I think it's okay to turn her to be a villain. What I hate is they constantly show her as a Hero after all of bad thing she do. Why did we have to sympathy with her wound just because she is a Hero before? Why is Hero live important, but normal citizens live isn't? It's so unfair They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people have to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong. Why force a narrative that what they do is always right? They can make spiderman in no way home admit that he do something so terrible that it's almost destroy his word, so why didn't do that too for other heroes? If they didn't want to do that, because her story will become lame, why didn't say she mess up and beyond help so she is a villain now?
When he’s talking about how Bruce banner had a harder life than she hulk, he said how he risked his life to bring back 4 billion people in endgame, but it’s actually more than that since he had to bring back the rest of the universe
Even without that Bruce had probably the worst life he could have gotten. His dad abused him and his mom, in fact if I remember correctly he literally witnessed his dad murdering Bruce's mom. He had to hide from the military after the gamma explosion which turned him into a giant hulking monster... So much more, Betty and her dad, villains, his own split personality... How in the fuck can she tell him she had a harder life because she gets mistreated by men... it's so fucking ridiculous. I mean Bruce literally tried ending it all but Hulk wouldn't let him...
@@WolvahulkShe just too full of herself. She have a victim mentality, that make her blind. I mean, why did she is so bad to Bruce when he is so nice to her? Just because he is a man? What nonsense
Love how she hulk claims she’s good at being angry as if Bruce wasn’t abused by his father and had multiple attempts of people trying to murder him and do things to hurt him😭
Let's not forget that Bruce LOST THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE when Black Widow got got. So he has grown, suffered, developed, loved, lost, lost again and finally overcame all just so she can say "I am SO desirable that EVERY man wants me and I have to WEAR THIS BURDEN oh woe is me."
20:48 adding to the laundry list of what Bruce has gone through, he has been hunted by the US Army, fallen in love and had that love exploited to make hunting him easier, driven out of his home, forced to live as a fugitive, developed trust issues for literally everyone, make a new home for himself where he’s discriminated for being an outsider, all to be “rescued” by a division of the same force that tried to hunt him so they could use him the same way the army could “but better cuz it’s his choice” despite their headquarters being a Flying Fortress built around a cage designed exclusively for him. Bruce Banner has to keep down a ton of anger and trauma. And one can only assume how much he kept down in front of his cousin telling him to his face that his life-long trauma was child’s play
She hulk was incredibly petty. The Incredibly Petty She-Hulk. People could suffer more sever form of Trauma like r@pe, phobia, lost of love ones from a freak accident, illness and corruptions or injustice, anything that can enraged one-self. But She just display pettiness over the little things, maybe OCD trigger the hulk idk anymore.
The She-Hulk writing team was led by Jessica Gao, a woman who was in her late 30's at the time with the maturity level of a 19 year old who was still angry at her ex-boyfriends. Her writing style makes you think you ordered the dvds of Sex And The City from Wish.
Wanda is indicative our current level of narcissism in media where every woman is a 'Queen' who can do anything to anyone because of identifying as a 'victim'. Almost all of Marvel's female heroes are written like this now.
I think marvel is trying to go for sympathetic characters (partially because there’s a large bias towards them) but they go about it seemingly backwards. They seem to write their actions and then write sympathetic aspects into them afterwards, which can work, but it’s real awkward when they try and do this for terrorists and worse. Especially since they’re allergic to the idea of consequences regardless of motive.
I remember some people trying to defend this after the first episode by saying, "yes, she looks like an entitled mean person who thinks she is better than the Hulk, but that is her character arc! She will learn humility!". We tried to tell them that the agenda they are pushing was so evident that nope, the first episode WAS this show. And we were right. They still thought that Marvel was actually trying to tell a story, like with Tony Stark. Nope, it was women are mary sue's and awesome!
The infinity stones in Loki weren't meant to devalue or diminish their significance or the role they played in the infinity saga, they were meant to show that magic doesn't work or is restricted in the TVA, likely because the facility exists outside of time and space. It's like if you were the richest man on Earth and you withdrew all of your money as cash, then traveled to another civilization's world, only to realize that your cash holds no value and is effectively meaningless. At least that's my take. 🤷🏻
I guess Marvel relies on people coming up with their own plot and explanation through copium instead of you know, making everything fucking clear. Obviously, it only happens when they are dealing with complex topics. If they want to push an agenda, it's not only clear but they make sure to stuff the mop into your mouth.
@@Suitsnstylesguy Wow... You clearly didn't read my comment, because I already explained why it makes sense and why it's not just a "write off" of the infinity stones. What else do you want me to say? If you can't understand my reasoning, please explain yours, I'd love to hear it.
Marvel has mastered the art of making heroes into villains and villains into heroes, while saying that the heroes actions are good and that the villains actions are evil, despite their actions being clearly the opposite if you watch the show with clear common sense.
No weight every Villian defeated and no hero ever dies Iron Man was only one to die and if Disney gets desperate will time travel and save him...reason Game of thrones was great is no one safe and main characters Die. Ant Man 3 one of th should of Died Dr. Pim or Even Ant man would have be one of those The Woke Disney never kill of a female but one of these make characters would have made Kang a real threat. Disney should stick to Princess movies they are ruining Marvel amd Star Wars with this Woke BS.

When RDJ was making jokes, it never felt like "this is a joke, please laugh now" like how current Disney Marvel movies are. It just felt like the jokes were something the character found funny but weren’t intended to make the audience laugh, even if that was in fact the intention. Delivery is what matters here, and he sold the in universe part of it, you never felt the constant overbearing nature of the “comedy” that we’ve been subjected to these past few years. It didn’t feel as cold and corporate as it does now, back then it was more in character, now you can feel the mandates urging the writers. The MCU at it’s best, was never funny, it might get a chuckle here and there, but you don’t go for the comedy. But ever since Disney bought Marvel and really started getting ahold of the MCU, they’ve just been trying to figure out what it was that made the movies special. But they haven’t been able to recreate it no matter how hard they try. Phase 4 is just the result of all of this coming to ahead. Now everyone who made the MCU what it was is gone, there isn’t a real vision or plan for what’s next, but what is there are the mandates, the quotas, and the pandering. It was hijacked by people who have no idea what they’re doing, and ever since Captain Marvel, they’ve just been floundering. ENDGAME was a horribly written and underwhelming follow up to the most important movie in the franchise. And it’s a crying shame how it turned out, it should have been a slam dunk, the best in the entire MCU. But it was the Sonic Forces of the MCU, a whole lot of missed potential, ruined characters, pointless fan-service/ nostalgia baiting, and bringing in a character nobody wanted to see brought back who wound up not being all that important in the end due to behind the scenes issues. I despised Forces upon release, and I enjoyed ENDGAME when I saw it in theaters. What ENDGAME got right was being able to trick you into believing it was good, something Forces couldn’t do. But how that time has passed, and you can take a critical eye to it, you’ll find that a lot of its problems have been glaring at you from the beginning. And in ENDGAME’s case those problems are many of the same issues plaguing the current Phase of the MCU. But where Disney Marvel failed, somehow Sonic Team managed to succeed, they saw their issues, the decided enough was enough, and they got to work on something they felt proud of for the first time in years. They gave the fans what they wanted, they ironed out their problems to the best of their abilities, and they’re listening to fan feedback. It says something when Sonic Team, notorious for not learning the right lessons from their mistakes, manages to do so and succeed where an even bigger and better funded studio failed. I’m looking forward to what they do next, I have no desire to ever touch anything related to Disney Marvel ever again. They don’t care, so why should I? If they don’t show the paying customer and their fans the respect they deserve, why should we keep giving them what they want? It’ll take a lot for me to ever want anything they put out, same applies to everything Disney owns in general, Star Wars, Pixar, you name it. It’s all been going downhill in terms of quality for years now, the writing is just half of it really. If anyone took the time to read this, thanks, I didn’t exactly get all of my points across the way I would have liked. And there is a lot more I could have said, but I’ll leave it there, thanks for taking the time to read this, hope you have a nice rest of your day.
Nah man, nail on the head. You're in the theaters and even though the lead up to the ending fight was mangled, that ending fight was the thing we wanted to see in civil war but understood getting a comic accurate depiction of CW was not going to happen at the time, and the stakes of the infinity saga outweigh the stakes of CW. So this is the movie we're going to get the big team up we've been working a decade towards. It was a hype moment to see cap call out avengers assemble and the big horn swell while the theater goes ape shit. It was a historic event to have been a part of. The only reason why James gunns stuff holds up, is due to most of character being characters. Making choices the characters would do in the world as it is set up to be.
Imagine being hunted by the army and wanting to die but can't because your split personality wont let you, and your cousin is saying she has it harder because she gets cat called.
The joke where the dude would rather kill himself than listen to two women yap is unironically the funniest joke in the entire Phase 4 of the MCU. To be fair, that‘s a very low bar, but the joke was very funny nonetheless.
Agatha being introduced into WandaVision turned what could've been a perfect MCU show into a show that completely tripped and fell at the finish line. The show didn't need a villain because Wanda was already the villain, Agatha only served to vindicate Wanda.
Omg! I felt the same. The last 2 episodes were trash and makes the whole thing pointless. Downfall of Wanda, multiverses and X-men related characters, redeeming arcs for Vision, it could be a good show.
Yeah, but we needed Agatha to knock some sense into Wanda since Monica was too soft on her. They could’ve made it so that Wanda would listen to Vision ig
Watching She-Hulk part rn. I'm so frustrated when the writers skip the training and developing part while writing the new characters, especially female characters that are supposed to be "strong" (like She-Hulk or Rey from Star Wars). In my opinion one of the thing that makes a character strong is their path. Their problems, experiences, pain, fails and successes. You can't make character be right all the time, win all the time or be successful all the time. This doesn't make them strong, that makes them boring and unreletable. Also I have some issues with She-Hulk's design - like why isn't she as big and muscular as Hulk? (Maybe she can be a little smaller, but still). Here she is just a little bigger. Why aren't her clothes ripping off? Hulk has rubber pants, she could have rubber pants and bra/t-shirt. And what's with her eyebrows?
This review started strong but it sounds like you barely even looked into the last few, which is fine, it's your time, but then just don't review them. Kate Bishop share's the name of Hawkeye and it's not like we didn't know Hailee Steinfeld was a co-lead from before the show launched, and for readers of the Fraction comic she's actually less effective, a lot more naïve, and constantly in Hawkeye's shadow rather than putting out his fires. Loki did what few MCU shows and movies do and actually forwards the plot of the MCU, given what the TVA actually is it's less about dehorning Thanos and more about boosting Kang, as for Ms. Marvel, she's a fan favorite, a critical hit and yes, a money maker. The TPB's and digital constantly hit various best seller lists in the book's first few years of existence, only dropping off years later (then began climbing in sales again during covid.) I say all this as someone who isn't a fan of these shows. They have serious problems and for the most part are lackluster and boring, but contrary to the shows I'd like the reviews to remain thoughtful.
"I'm not the one with the guns" No. Just the reality altering powers... But I guess a few M16 are WAY stronger than the ability to warp reality. Really, she could have done that with an empty town with the same results...
After Endgame I didn’t think Marvel could put a foot wrong. Seeing all the projects that have come after is truly shocking. Find it such a shame that all the big franchises have gone to shit now, I used to be such a big fan of things like Marvel and Star Wars but now I find it a real struggle. RIP
Half way through we had fan theories that Mefisto was involved with doing this for his own evil purposes but knowing now she did this willingly is just like WOW!!! The only "redemption" she has here is it is shown she is completely insane. Because rational persons who do things like this are objectively wicked.
The “explaining area of expertise” thing is SO fucking hypocritical given that Banner’s JOB for the past two decades has been keeping his anger in-check
The she hulk writers dont know the difference between emotional suppression and mindfulness. Ie, stomping your emotions down vs recognizing your emotionally state and fixing that. Which if anything, proves just how emotionally immature the writers really are
The mcu really feels likes a tv show that hit its natural end point, but teh company behind the tv showed renewed the series for 4 more seasons while not giving the studio enough time to plan out their next saga oh and replaced all the talented writers with new ones while expecting the new writers to have the next season out within a year, the mcu should have either ended with Endgame OR gone on a break for a few years to write out the nextg story line
I've never seen a single episode of The Office, but that scene with him and Pam is packed with so much unspoken, emotional subtext that I almost cried.
I actually really enjoyed most of Hawkeye. I agree that it has some big problems but thankfully not as many or as bad as the other projects. There aren't any major plot holes or worldbreaking events or major contradictory worldbuilding stuff. There are quite a lot of good things in it. 1)It treats Hawkeye with respect and as a Legacy Character. A)He is shown to be a competent spy, shield agent, and detective and I like how they integrated that part of his character into the show. B)He is a major celebrity now because he has saved the world and major cities on multiple occasions. i)I like that he doesn't exactly enjoy the attention because his days as a spy and shield agent required him to retain a low profile. ii)I like that people ask for his autograph and offer him free meals or freak out when they realize who he is (unlike a certain other show *cough* Falcon *cough*) C)He is still a very decent fighter (*cough* loki *cough cough* bucky *cough*) despite clearly slowing down from age and many injuries D)He is shown to be a decent and good person on multiple occasions (*cough* take your pick of any other phase 4 character *cough*) i)He sacrifices precious time with his family to help a stranger he doesn't know to make sure she is safe ii)he lets the LARPer get his moment to shine iii)he didn't want to fight yelena and tried to talk her down which he eventually succeeded at. iv) 2)Lots of heartwarming, funny, sweet, and heartbreaking moments A)When kate is helping a deaf hawkeye talk to his kid over the phone B)When Clint is talking to Natasha at the avengers memorial C)When he tries to comfort yelena and talks with her about Natasha (and yelena laments that it's not fair that he had so much time with her while she didn't) D)when Clint fights all the LARPers I thought it was pretty funny E)Clint confirming to Kate that she actually is a really good archer and she is so happy to hear him say that F)Clint and Kate watching movies and him teaching her the coin trick 3)Kate is actually a decent character and not a mary sue A)Her skill makes sense because she was inspired by Hawkeye fighting the chitauri and saving her as a kid to take up archery and compete in many tournaments for years B)She makes a lot of mistakes and gets punished for them C)She definitely is not as good a fighter or strategist or archer as Clint D)Despite how difficult it is for her emotionally, she gets her corrupt, but well meaning, mother arrested. This is also very selfless of her since she would probably lose a vast majority of her fortune and cushy lifestyle that she has enjoyed thus far E)The coin trick moment is admittedly a mary sue moment F)she really reveres Clint and looks up to him and respects him 4)Neat details A)Hawkeye being deaf is an interesting and logical consequence of him constantly fighting and being near so many explosions in his life B)We finally got to see a lot of his more unique and very cool trick arrows C)Clint's wife helping hawkeye with his investigation being a subtle nod to her as Mockingbird and a former shield agent herself was pretty cool D)the plunger arrow is actually useful E)The avengers play, while cringy, was charming F)Clint knowing sign language now is cool and normally I don't enjoy sign language in shows or movies just for representation sake like in eternals, but in this it made sense because he is going deaf and it makes for interesting interactions with Echo. Another neat detail about it is that Clint clearly isn't proficient at it yet. G) I like that the plot revolves around Hawkeye's shady past as the ronin catching up with him and having consequences for him now and that he does feel a little responsible for Echo 5)Fight and Action scenes were ok to good (not anything amazing though). The new trick arrows made things interesting and the choreography wasn't bad for the most part That being said, here are my problems with it. 1)Kingpin sucked, period. 2)We should have gotten Clint's backstory 3)there are a lot of coincidences in this show 4)It's strange that so much avenger property is on the black market which is never explained 5)The macguffin watch was ultimately pointless 6)Echo was so so character wise, not bad but not great
We try to teach our kids that bullying is wrong because all you're doing is tearing someone else down just to make yourself look/feel better; that you are hurting inside and taking it out on others as a distraction and that's not right. Essentially, MCU Phase 4 is just a wide ranging cast of bullies shit-talking their more beloved predecessors in an attempt to make themselves look better or cooler. No. She-Hulk is a Hulk AND an attorney: that's bad ass in and of itself! You don't need to shit all over Hulk and Cap to make me like her. If anything, it just comes off as desperate. Elevate her up to their level; don't just try to drag them down beneath her.

If they want to make story from villain perspective, why didn't they make a villain movie like Joker. No matter how much we feel sympathy for him, at least we know he is a villain and what he did was wrong. No need to say what the bad guy did is right, and they are the heroes. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people have to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong. Why force a narrative that what they do is always right? They can make spiderman in no way home admit that he do something so terrible that it's almost destroy his word, so why didn't do that too for other heroes?
hearing wanda try to one up the director by saying “Your the ones with the guns” When she literally has a whole city in mind controlled communism was so fucking terrible
You're supposed to be jedi mind tricked into forgetting about that part. Only the current scene exists where she responds to director's accusation with a quippy remark that completely owns him and shows that she's in the right. 😌
I wouldnt say Hawkeye had a bait and switch when the trailers were already letting you know it was about how he mentor Kate Bishop to be the next Hawkeye and even the comics set her up.
WandaVision really is a character assassination - it destroyed not just the potential for Scarlet Witch to be an awesome villain, but every character who tried to justify, ignore, or even praise what she did, like Monica Rambeau, and later, in MoM, Dr. Strange! Oh, and for the lunatics who were shedding crocodile tears about motherhood (that most of them despise) - she was never separated from her kids because they never existed, not even in alternate universes (on any reasonable view), as Vision wasn’t a biological being capable of knocking her up, to put it crudely! This would be like me feeling lost and lonely, having a vivid dream about an amazing woman that falls in love with me, then waking up, getting angry that the woman is not real, and trying to destroy the universe/multiverse “looking for her”. How much sympathy would I deserve, and how much could I expect from intersectional feminists?
Did anyone else begin phase 4 super excited about these shows, watched a couple, found them bad to mid in quality and then didn’t watch the rest? I never thought that would be possible. I was such a huge Marvel fan and when I saw the line up of shows, I freaked out, super enthusiastic about what was to come. I was so young and naive back then. Those were the good ol days… it only took a couple months for it all to come crumbling down.
I think you, like many others, were watching the series not because you were a "a huge Marvel fan", but because you liked the characters as portrayed by the MCU. The fact that the majority of viewers turned their backs of the franchise when it either demolished those characters (e.g.: Thor, Loki, Wanda, Strange) or replaced them with inferior copies (pretty much everyone else) isn't surprising at all, and then we didn't even delve into the absolutely terrible plots and continuity yet.
@@Horvath_Gaboryeah, they should establish the already strong character in MCU and make them the new Evengers. Instead keep showing new character as a replica from old one. We still have Dr strange, Bruce, Thor, Spider-Man, Hawkey, Wanda, Shuri, Falcon, Wong, Antman and so on. I don't think they have to be a replica of the old Heroes to be a new Evengers. I don't think Falcon needs to be a new Captain America to be a new power in Evengers, just let the title Captain America buried with Steve Rogers, and let Falcon be himself. Shuri didn't need to be a new Black Panther, I think laboratorium suited her more. Bruce can always be Bruce. Hawkey is still young and strong, no need to change him with a young girl, she can be his student for now. We can slowly let Spiderman join them, because everyone forget about him. Thor can join The Guardian of The Galaxy for now. Wanda can be a new villain if she still isn't in her right mind. If they need new Hero they can introduce them to us slowly. They too rush right now. Too much new face that we didn't have connection yet. If they want to make series, why didn't they make a more simple problems around the Hero and make them slowly get together again? After they have enough bond, they can introduce us with new Hero. Right now, the original Avengers that left behind is scattered and didn't have enough bond, yet they keep give us new Hero. They should focus with the Hero they already have first.
The Original backstory for She Hulk was that she got into a car accident and Bruce, who had the same blood type, gave her a transfusion to save her life......
I got halfway through the first episode of She-Hulk. As a fan of the old hulk cartoons, I was really excited to see a live action she-hulk. You can only hear so many versions of “men are awful because they’re men and women are victims because of men” before just turning the tv off and just reading a comic book about an awesome lawyer who is also a badass green monster woman
As to Loki where the Infinity stones are basically worthless outside of their own universe, that's canonically correct. They are almost all powerful in ONLY their own universe.
Ya know something, Shang-Chi should've been a show instead of a movie. That way they wouldn't have to do a big CGI battle at the end. It can be smaller scale, and have him interact with other street level heroes like Spiderman or Daredevil.
36:07 to be completely fair, the Guardians Of The Galaxy weren't popular at all during their comic run either. They only became popular thanks to the movies attached to them. That's why Star-Lord slowly looked more and more like Chris Pratt in the comics. He used to look way different than that, he didn't even have the cool red jacket
Hulk is the single biggest screw up the MCU has had and this phase has just continued to disrespect his comics legacy. He should be easily the biggest and most uncontrollable wrecking ball in the MCU. She-Hulk is only the latest insult to his potential / comics persona. Say what you will about Ang Lee’s Hulk movie with Eric Bana, at least they got his powers right! He should be like Superman. His story should be written around his OP nature., don’t nerf him because you can’t find writers intelligent enough to think of a story that challenges his power set. 😢
add Thor to that sad list of screw-ups from MCU. They did my favourite character such a big 'fuck you' that I don't even want to watch anymore of the MCU
True, but I'd add more: Every single character from the comics and the first three phases of the MCU wes desecrated beyond repair, stripped of any semblance of respect and personality, left to die/fade away to make space for their replacements. No character should be introduced at the expense of previously established house names, instead, the writers should've worked harder to make us like them (but apparently doing their job properly is too much to ask)
I will say, kate bishop getting her abilites is well done. Its directly shown that she spent year training in competition. And its only now with clint that she gain actual superhero experiance, she has street fights and her fight scenes are well done. Showing off her technique, but lack of actual real fighting experiance.
Considering how Disney/Marvel is now, I was actually surprised in Hawkeye when a little girl was inspired by a non-super-powered man. 🤣🤣 That was like the opposite of what they've been trying to force feed you: "Inspire little girls with powerful independent woMAN." 🤣🤣
Not the She-Hulk saying that she suffered more than Bruce just because she is a woman bro 😭🙏 that such a terrible way to try write gender struggle It made the opposite effect, people started bashing this EVEN MORE Not only its a TERRIBLE way But you choosed the LAST character you would pick to write this Bruce was fucking tortured his entire life, his father, the hulk, the army bro Why marvel acted like sony getting the worst writers and directors to make their shit in phase 4
The first episode of moonight was so intriguing it left me wanting more. But the last 2 or so episodes just shit the bed. It progressively got worse. Its like all those scifi shows with a cool premise that reel you in with a mystery phenomena, but then just keeps going on for ever giving you more questions than awnsers.
The funniest thing about the She-Hulk commentary is how Bruce, being a man, is not in control of his feelings and it's like he's always angry. For those not following, we're talking about THE HULK here - and his defining trait.
It astounds me that things like the DC animated universe had a better grasp on political commentary and morality than Disney’s superhero shows taking place 2 decades after it aired. I can watch the DCAU, DC Unlimited, Static Shock, Batman the animated series and still the characters, stories, and commentary are so relevant and genuine. I mean, I know it’s still possible to write shows like that. It’s just the execs are out of touch dinosaurs who won’t let their good creatives do their thing.
That's kinda what DC excel at. Marvel tries to show what happens when regular people get powers while DC shows what it would be like if "gods" lived among us.
You said you think WandaVision is the worst show in the MCU. Really, worse than She-Hulk??? In terms of damage to legacy characters & the shoehorning of irrelevant politics into the story I’d have to say She-Hulk is far worse.
Here's the funny part about she hulk. They could have LITERALLY skipped like the entire first episode. She could have literally had a call from bruce about him being in town or something. She answers, "Look, just because we got tangled up in this together during the blip doesn't mean we have to hang out'. Done, the entire backstory thrown out there, decent length of time for her to be good at hulk shit etc.
MCU is trying to recreate The Joker with all these evil people that are actually just sad emo people like freckle Jesus, wanda, gorr the kidnapper without even realizing why that movie worked.
Here is the thing: everyone knows Joker is an irredimable villian. In Falcon and the Winter Soldier youre not supposed to call red hair chick terrorist even do she objectively did worse things than Joker (at least Joker had the decency to give police a heads up, red hair chick just blowed buildings with innocent people inside.)
Falcon winter soldier for me is one of the better shows that MCU has put out, only for one reason - its play on conflicting types of justice and reason, and hence, its implication on replacing Steve Rogers with an adequate replacement. Yes they should've done more work on justifying flag smashers' actions (maybe a scene or two that shows GRC making their life hell), but the intent was to put down an political idea that would be uneasy to digest by the users. They brought in serious talent to write the story, but dialogues is where it sometimes falls apart.
@@ramonserna8089 Joker also let's the viewers think for themselves if Arthur's actions are justifiable or not. We didn't get cringe dialogs like "they'll never know what you sacrificed" or "stop calling him a terrorist!". Freckle Jesus blew up entire buildings with people without a second thought but nope Freckle Jesus is just eMotiOnAl so "you've got to stop calling her a terrorist" lmao. Swap freckle Jesus with a guy then the show will tell you he's the biggest terrorist in the world...it never works the other way around lmao
@@MrShadowSmith Ok, follow me on this: Thanos is a bad guy. He is the big baddie on his universe. Were supposed to cheer when they kill him and when they beat his alternate version up. His plan was to dissapear half of the population to provide more resources for the other half. This is "horrible" and we have half of endgame movie of people grieving and telling us it was a super bad thing to do. Frekled Jesus agree with Thanos. Her "plan" is to kill innocent people and destroy things until half of the population is erased again or something (even do the goverment has literally zero capability to do so). How is she not a villian??? Why do people put Captain America on trial for killing a terrorist who had just murdered his best friend infront of him? He was a condecorated hero who fought all his life to protect the world and made 1 mistake yet get zero empathy? Bruh.
I think the scene that truly killed she hulk for me, was actually the crash, in 616, Bruce has to choose to save Jens life by giving her a blood transfusion but doom her to be like him, it's a cool emotional thing for him to deal with and a great way to set up their familial relationship, but instead it's an accident where the mousy lawyer lady has to pull an unconscious HULK out of a crashed car, because she has a vagina and that makes her better than him
I so wish there could be good female heroes and villians again. Not just these stand-ins for rich Hollywood women whose biggest hardship in life is not being allowed to go uncriticized and uncontested for their self-centered paradigms.
I quite love Moon Knight. The hero has a quite new and interesting background story than the other MCU heroes. The way the series portray DID is interesting. From the starts, they make us confused which one is the original personality and what really happened to him. They take us on the hero's emotional rollercoaster of journey to find himself. It's fun because I constantly questioning my own judgment and understanding of the overall situation. I feel like I also sick like the hero. I also love that the other personality isn't a total evil character like how the other popular show often portrayed DID, and then make them the ultimate villain. The hero give a fresh air because he isn't a justice driven person like I always see in other heroes. Honestly, he's quite brutal and has a questionable moral standing. He give a dark energy, but isn't a total evil person. And the other personality of him is sweet, kind, silly, clumsy, and cowardly, make him more interesting character to observe. Moon Knight indeed doesn't show much of his superpowers. So, in my opinion it's more like a drama series than a superhero series. I really love that the true archenemy of the hero in this series is himself, and the emotional struggles he go through to accept it feels so realistic. I can accept it as a hero's origin story. I hope I can see more of his superpower in his movie. I think he have a lot of room to grow as an antihero or maybe a hero with dark energy.
21:00 I love how whenever someone brings up Bruces abusive father a she hulk defender will go, " no that didnt happen in the MCU so therefore its not valid". Yeah just like how we never saw uncle ben die meaning he never existed 0_0
And even if we pretend that's not the case, Male Hulk's life is still harder than She Hulk's. Because guess what, having a va*ina doesn't automatically mean your life is harder than a man's. Almost as if different people experience different things or something.
@@jeremyusreevu237 yeah I mean who even remembers that time he was a slave for several years force to fight for people's entertainment or how about the fact that he'll never be able to have kids *MCU Scar* What the fuck is that thing?
by that logic we also never saw Jen getting catcalled or mansplained before she went on her rant, therefore it's invalid.... just fun to point that out....
@@TheScarletSlayer i mean, let's be honest, nobody would believe she finished law school i the first place even if they had showed it, given what an absolute trainwreck of a lawyer she really is when she tries....
The one thing I want to disagree with is Hawkeye. I actually enjoyed the show. Sure it was slow, no one really cares about Hawkeye, played the exact same trope of setting up the better female version of the legacy character and had Echo as one of the villains who no one cared about either. But what makes it better than a lot of Phase 4 is that 1: Kate Bishop is actually likable and isn’t looking down on Hawkeye and taking every moment to challenge his abilities. 2: I wouldn’t say she is just as skilled as he is since it’s shown through that 30 seconds of opening credits that she worked her whole life to be athletic and a good archer. It’s lazy to put all her training into a short intro where we don’t see her so much of anything, but it at least tells us she’s worked for years to train and at least didn’t take 10 minutes to be good at everything (She/Her Hulk). Lastly, it’s shown that Kate is way out of her element when she takes on Hawkeye’s old identity. Kate struggles from time to time, not as much as she probably should, but there is at least some moments where she does something wrong or needs Hawkeye to teach her. Overall, I think Hawkeye was a good show compared to the rest.
Agree, it passed the albeit low bar of being maybe the best of the Disney+ TV shows. Unfortunately it didn't really cover what I think would have been the most interesting subject, what Hawkeye was up to in between Infinity War and Endgame. They touched on it in that as the Ronin he killed Echo's father, but this show should have been exploring his journey and exploits during that time. And Yelena just believing that Clint didn't kill Natasha because he said so was just as idiotic as her believing that he did kill her just because Julia Louis-Dreyfus said he did
@@etrosknight2254 yeah that’s a fair criticism. They kinda skipped over that all. I didn’t care much about Echo and she could have been left out of the show entirely if we could have gotten more King Pin.
In werewolf by night, Jack knew he was a monster. He was going undercover to save his friend. Edit: also, in Loki, the bigger threat Loki was brought in to help them with was the lady Loki, not Kang. Kang was running the TVA. Sorry, I don’t mean to nitpick. Love your video! Good job making it through all these shows. I couldn’t.
The funniest part of She-Hulk, is when she is explaining to bruce why she is "better" at controlling her anger than him, she was visibly getting angry 😂 like.. you say you can control it but you just lost your temper over bruce explaining how the powers work.
I think you're confusing having an agenda with pandering to a very extreme niche of society. They wanted to pander to one group, but didn't realize they pandered to only the most radical people in that group.
It's funny how the actor who plays Titania is part of the main cast in an actually funny comedy show call The Good Place where the main character is a woman, an asshole and happens to become a good person because of a male.
So Hawkeye… Clint and Kate share the screen fairly, and their situation as co-leads was known pre-release. It wasn’t deceptive marketing. Kate isn’t immediately on Clint’s level. At all. She has to learn so much over the course of the series before she gets anywhere close to him. And I was glad the show at least respected the original character.
I still don't know why they can't just come up with new characters instead of "look it's the one you've always loved *but now it's a child or/and a girl* eh? Isn't that incredibly mcreative! "
@@Simon-is2xd idk, Kate Bishop’s not shown to be just like Clint save for the gender difference. She’s her own person even if she does train under him. She’s not just his clone. And this isn’t the MCU’s fault either. She’s been in the comics since 2005.
I feel like they could have made the idea of she hulk being initially better at containing her anger then bruce by making it a point that they have different sources of anger, like bruces anger stems from deep trauma whereas she hulks comes from microagressions (ig?)
hiring people smarter than the token diversity hires you have running the show would just undermine basically the whole point of the show in the first place, because it would admit that talent matters more than superficial things like skin color and ethnicity....
@@petriew2018 They could have hired my wife. She's a successful lawyer and not white, which ticks all the right boxes. Or they could have hired any other POC female lawyer in any other law office in America, there's literally thousands to choose from. The She-Hulk show was a huge disappointment to my wife, because they didn't even try to get the legal aspect right which pissed her off from the very first court scene. She-Hulk was supposed to be a top-notch lawyer, but they never showed it in the series. A courtroom drama about superhuman issues could have been a really interesting idea with a proper story arc of She-Hulk dealing with her new powers, but they didn't even care enough to hire a proper writer. It showed a total lack of respect for the character, the audience, and the legal profession.
I liked both Loki and Hawkeye. Going into Hawkeye I knew Jeremy Renner was being replaced. As for Ms Marvel I couldn't get through the show, however she was the only bright spot in The Marvels. I can't get into What If
Hulk has been disrespected since the beginning of the MCU... ignoring his svicide attempt, immediately whipping from vaguely acknowledging his suffering to making jokes about him. Plus turning the Hulk side of him from what feels more like an expression of trauma and his subconscious to a silly stupid creature. It makes me sad.
I didn't know the GotG holiday special existed until after watching GotG 3 and having to Google when Peter and Mantis became siblings. It's a chore to do all the homework before watching these movies and I pretty much don't care to watch anymore.
Wanda takes an entire town of innocent people hostage because she lost someone she loved, and is still considered a hero.
John Walker who killed terrorists because they killed his partner is considered to be a villian! Mind you that these terrorists also have killed innocents in the name of revolution!
That's a big L for Marvel!
Well, the terrorists can be killed. They could've leaned into an omni man or homelander situation, since clearly she's that powerful. They didn't, but they could've.
@@semiawesomatic6064Or they could've just let it be an emotional scene of justified revenge that he then has to recover from the trauma of. It's like calling a Navy Seal team omni man or homelander for shooting terrorists.
How was Wanda considered a hero when she was wanted by the fbi the entire show and the literal antagonist the next time we see her post Wanda vision? Very clear she was corrupted by the dark hold at that point…
@@akashshenoy9606 she’s literally a villain in the next movie.

For the record, technically he did not assume gender.
It’s funny how it means that women are objects which is the funny part, THEY ARE LMAOOO
The saddest part about She-Hulk is that this modern characterization that she has, is purely from the 2010s. Up until then, Jen was the original Deadpool, where she loved sex, had one-liners, broke the fourth wall, and also had a tragic element to her that underlined her whole character to give her more depth.
OG comic She-Hulk was absolutely distraught over the fact that she got the better deal. Bruce saved her life and gave her a blood transfusion, and she became She-Hulk, but didn’t get any of the negatives that Bruce got. She doesn’t have a split personality, she can shift whenever she wants, and things are just generally easier for her, and this fact eats away at her, because believe it or not, she actually loved her cousin, and was confused as to why she got the better deal.
So she used her powers as a lawyer to not only defend her cousin, but try to help him.
Of course, she also rarely transformed out of her hulk form because, well, she liked how sexy it made her.
So yeah, Jen was originally a three-dimensional character who loves the perks that she’d gotten from her powers, but always had it in the back of her mind that she needed to do everything in her power to make sure she used her powers to protect the person who not only saved her life, but gave her these powers.
Modern comics, and this show, have done her SO dirty.
So THAT'S why She-Hulk always looked so much more appealing in those trading cards I used to own from the 90s.
I remember watching an episode from a hulk or she-hulk animated tv show (can’t remember which) years ago, and I actually liked the character
I dread the day they make GwenPool (a nerd who uses her powers as most of us would) that knows its on a comic and switches to manga style at random ... to get butchered as some mean gal that just wants to lecture everyone while making fun of OG deadpool because she haves more "4wall" powers all while insulting the viewers.

When you mention how Falcon and the Winter Solider failed at making an empathetic villain, my mind instantly went to Tai-Lung in Kung Fu Panda 1. Tai-Lung you can sympathize. He was raised by master Shifu who believed he was the Dragon Warrior, only for his master, Oogway to say other wise because of sensing his dark intentions, leading Tai-Lung to attack the village and Oogway to stop/ imprison him. The difference is that while we understand why Tai-Lung is angry/ felt betrayed by Shifu he is STILL a villain! The movie doesn't try to absolve his actions or say he is right. No, he's a bad guy; he hurts people, hurts Shifu and thus Po is the one who needed to defeat him. What these ideologically bent people in Hollywood need to realize is when crafting a villain, they still need to be a villain! It's almost like they want to write villains and don't understand heroes. Marvel failed in this account with Wanda and many of their films recently.
This. Right. Here.☝🏻
what also helps with tai lung is that shifu actually DOES try and absolve his actions by apologizing, but tai lung refuses it and instead continues trying to kill him, showing he can’t be saved
Yeah, they lost their moral compass. They forget that the show is watch by many people also children and teenagers who can take their moral standards seriously and apply it in real world. What is the most important thing in a story is the lesson they give us, because it's can unconsciously influence us.
If they want to make story from villain perspective, why didn't they make a villain movie like Joker. No matter how much we feel sympathy for him, at least we know he is a villain and what he did was wrong. No need to say what the bad guy did is right, and they are the heroes. Right is right.

They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong. Why force a narrative that what they do is always right? They can make spiderman in no way home admit that he do something so terrible that it's almost destroy his word, so why didn't do that too for other heroes?
I like how Marvel implied that getting cat called is somehow worse than getting a gamma bomb exploded in the face, hunted down by military everywhere you go and literally having an alter ego that completely took over your body for years.
"-In case you need to kill me, but you can't, okay... I TRIED!"
His alter ego is literally a manifestation from when he got abused as a child, too... but yeah, getting complimented in the streets is worse... somehow
I like that Falcon and the winter soldier unintentionally made John walker more relatable the entire series they were dumping on him and made him feel like a jerk for not being steve rogers and then they tried to make him look like the bad guy for killing someone who killed his best friend and they wanted to chalk it off as him being crazy after the serum when one can easily interpret that as a human emotion anyone in that particular scene would feel
Uhh.. Carly killed Lamar.
How come everyone missed the point that they had him kill a random dude because they wouldn't show him killing a woman just like they wouldn't have Sam even throw a punch at her in the end?

I genuinely can't joke about she hulk, as it just pisses me off. Because you can't criticize the stupidity behind the people who even admitted they cant write what they're writing, without being treated like you've been convicted of strangling a puppy.
Let's not forget about She hulk that she wrecked Bruce's bar (THAT HE BUILT WITH HIS DEAD BEST FRIEND) and then had the fucking cheek to carve her own name in it when they fixed it
A thing I couldn't help but notice: Kate Bishop was stripped of all the things that made her a fun character. In the comics, she is arrogant, she is spoiled, she is a brat... And she is also as good as her mentor (if not more) and has a dry sense of humour. She's essentially a valley girl with combat training. She and Hawkeye share a dynamic in which they constantly try to surpass the other, which is funny, cool and cute. In the series, the most I could tell about her is that she.... Likes being Hawkeye¿?
I’m a big Kate bishop fan and I totally agree. I think Steinfield is a great casting but hopefully they can improve the writing and characterization for Bishop in future projects.
Ah, WandaVision. It started very promising, and in the end, they did a complete 180 in an attempt to try and redeem Wanda. And to do what? To make her a villain in MoM. Like, seriously, Disney, what the actual F?
I honestly didn't mind Hawkeye. Clint felt more capable, prepared, profesional and proficient than Kate Bishop, if anything, I think he actually fixes all her mistakes and ends up looking like a father figure to her.

@@DZatheus guess what, when audience come around to see a show with a character name on it , that character should be the main focus.
Literally Hawkeye could have finished everything on his own and it only extended due to the Kate bishops dropping from ceiling every time. Kate bishops is still way better character than all they have introduced in phase 4
Until they ruined Kingpin...
@@Сайтамен I didn't like the portrayal of Kingpin either. I will say full disclosure this is a more comic accurate version of Kingpin especially for the run this series is based on, that being said it is an inferior product to that of the Daredevil Netflix series which is the gold standard as far as I am concerned.
Dont forget that Bruce Banner was trapped as the Hulk for an extended time, turned into a slave, and made to murder people in a gladiatorial arena for the amusment of his master. Definitely a worse fate than being a modern-day female attorney.
And his abusive father, though I think that got swept under the rug for the MCU.
@@Duothimiryea didn’t his dad possibly SA him in the comics?
Standards for greatness.
Men : literally have to suffer for life and save the world and die.
Women : just exist and resent the genuine criticism.
That's she hulk.
it kinda annoys me a bit that Hawkeye is dismissed so easily as a super hero, to me he was the Batman of the MCU, incredibly skilled and prepared for almost anything, and he had some great moments in the movies. Still a shame to see him replaced with an inferior version that somehow is better than him in almost every way despite its lack of life experience. It is quite stupid. Though the same is happening to every OG character so...
I love the Hawkeye character so I was excited for the show. When I heard rumors it was actually about the chick I didn't even bother to watch it. So upsetting
how is Kate superior to Hawkeye? What show did you watch
The biggest crime was what they did to kingpin. 100 pound Kate is able to fight kingpin the same guy who fought daredevil and bullseye...on her own...EMPOWERMENT!
Did you even watch hawkeye? Calling her better than clint? Seems like someones talking out their ass
green arrow has to deal with it in his own universe 😂
I mean, the MCU'S attempt to make the audience believe that Wanda was the victim in WandaVison worked because people are going out of their way to find excuses for her 😂
Tell me about it. I still see people trying to say that she didn’t know about the hex or that she was harming people.
@@tsuumee4545it’s so baffling. had they made it to where she didn’t know, they could’ve made genuinely convincing dilemma for her basically having to lose her family all over again, which would also make her actions in multiverse of madness more understandable
I think it's okay to turn her to be a villain. What I hate is they constantly show her as a Hero after all of bad thing she do. Why did we have to sympathy with her wound just because she is a Hero before? Why is Hero live important, but normal citizens live isn't? It's so unfair
They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people have to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong. Why force a narrative that what they do is always right?
They can make spiderman in no way home admit that he do something so terrible that it's almost destroy his word, so why didn't do that too for other heroes?
If they didn't want to do that, because her story will become lame, why didn't say she mess up and beyond help so she is a villain now?
She-hulk's twerking represents phase 4 as a whole.
It'll never not be crazy that Jennifer told BRUCE of all people that she controls her anger more
When he’s talking about how Bruce banner had a harder life than she hulk, he said how he risked his life to bring back 4 billion people in endgame, but it’s actually more than that since he had to bring back the rest of the universe
So more like 4 quintillion people. Not to mention the hundreds of trillions of animals and bugs and plants across the universe as well
Even without that Bruce had probably the worst life he could have gotten.
His dad abused him and his mom, in fact if I remember correctly he literally witnessed his dad murdering Bruce's mom.
He had to hide from the military after the gamma explosion which turned him into a giant hulking monster...
So much more, Betty and her dad, villains, his own split personality...
How in the fuck can she tell him she had a harder life because she gets mistreated by men... it's so fucking ridiculous. I mean Bruce literally tried ending it all but Hulk wouldn't let him...
@@WolvahulkShe just too full of herself. She have a victim mentality, that make her blind. I mean, why did she is so bad to Bruce when he is so nice to her? Just because he is a man? What nonsense
Love how she hulk claims she’s good at being angry as if Bruce wasn’t abused by his father and had multiple attempts of people trying to murder him and do things to hurt him😭
Let's not forget that Bruce LOST THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE when Black Widow got got. So he has grown, suffered, developed, loved, lost, lost again and finally overcame all just so she can say "I am SO desirable that EVERY man wants me and I have to WEAR THIS BURDEN oh woe is me."
20:48 adding to the laundry list of what Bruce has gone through, he has been hunted by the US Army, fallen in love and had that love exploited to make hunting him easier, driven out of his home, forced to live as a fugitive, developed trust issues for literally everyone, make a new home for himself where he’s discriminated for being an outsider, all to be “rescued” by a division of the same force that tried to hunt him so they could use him the same way the army could “but better cuz it’s his choice” despite their headquarters being a Flying Fortress built around a cage designed exclusively for him.
Bruce Banner has to keep down a ton of anger and trauma. And one can only assume how much he kept down in front of his cousin telling him to his face that his life-long trauma was child’s play
She hulk was incredibly petty. The Incredibly Petty She-Hulk. People could suffer more sever form of Trauma like r@pe, phobia, lost of love ones from a freak accident, illness and corruptions or injustice, anything that can enraged one-self. But She just display pettiness over the little things, maybe OCD trigger the hulk idk anymore.
The She-Hulk writing team was led by Jessica Gao, a woman who was in her late 30's at the time with the maturity level of a 19 year old who was still angry at her ex-boyfriends. Her writing style makes you think you ordered the dvds of Sex And The City from Wish.
Wanda is indicative our current level of narcissism in media where every woman is a 'Queen' who can do anything to anyone because of identifying as a 'victim'.
Almost all of Marvel's female heroes are written like this now.
Funny how those soldiers were all pointing their lasers at Wanda's tits
Tiddy power.
Right. I was thinking why are they not pointed to the head.
@@MMLynnmarie Because it's much harder to shot at the head than at the body
I think marvel is trying to go for sympathetic characters (partially because there’s a large bias towards them) but they go about it seemingly backwards. They seem to write their actions and then write sympathetic aspects into them afterwards, which can work, but it’s real awkward when they try and do this for terrorists and worse. Especially since they’re allergic to the idea of consequences regardless of motive.
I remember some people trying to defend this after the first episode by saying, "yes, she looks like an entitled mean person who thinks she is better than the Hulk, but that is her character arc! She will learn humility!". We tried to tell them that the agenda they are pushing was so evident that nope, the first episode WAS this show. And we were right. They still thought that Marvel was actually trying to tell a story, like with Tony Stark. Nope, it was women are mary sue's and awesome!
The infinity stones in Loki weren't meant to devalue or diminish their significance or the role they played in the infinity saga, they were meant to show that magic doesn't work or is restricted in the TVA, likely because the facility exists outside of time and space. It's like if you were the richest man on Earth and you withdrew all of your money as cash, then traveled to another civilization's world, only to realize that your cash holds no value and is effectively meaningless.
At least that's my take. 🤷🏻
Facts. Loki was pretty good 8/10
I guess Marvel relies on people coming up with their own plot and explanation through copium instead of you know, making everything fucking clear.
Obviously, it only happens when they are dealing with complex topics. If they want to push an agenda, it's not only clear but they make sure to stuff the mop into your mouth.
So a huge plot device from the past phases of marvel should just be written off as paperweights? Make it make sense 🤦♂️
@@Suitsnstylesguy Wow... You clearly didn't read my comment, because I already explained why it makes sense and why it's not just a "write off" of the infinity stones.
What else do you want me to say? If you can't understand my reasoning, please explain yours, I'd love to hear it.
moonknight ended way too early... always felt rushed to me but i loved it regardless because oscar issac is just that good
Oscar Isaac makes shitty things watchable. A great actor.
Marvel has mastered the art of making heroes into villains and villains into heroes, while saying that the heroes actions are good and that the villains actions are evil, despite their actions being clearly the opposite if you watch the show with clear common sense.
#ZemoWasRight
Tell a man he's a god and he'll start to believe it. Rodgers was a rare kind of guy and no other supers should exist.
No weight every Villian defeated and no hero ever dies Iron Man was only one to die and if Disney gets desperate will time travel and save him...reason Game of thrones was great is no one safe and main characters Die. Ant Man 3 one of th should of Died Dr. Pim or Even Ant man would have be one of those The Woke Disney never kill of a female but one of these make characters would have made Kang a real threat. Disney should stick to Princess movies they are ruining Marvel amd Star Wars with this Woke BS.
Yeah, they lost their moral compass. They forget that the show is watch by many people also children and teenagers who can take their moral standards seriously and apply it in real world. What is the most important thing in a story is the lesson they give us, because it's can unconsciously influence us.
If they want to make story from villain perspective, why didn't they make a villain movie like Joker. No matter how much we feel sympathy for him, at least we know he is a villain and what he did was wrong. No need to say what the bad guy did is right, and they are the heroes. Right is right. Wrong is wrong.
They shouldn't give an impression that it's okay to hurt others if you're hurt. Everyone have their own wounds, so what right is this people have to hurt others just because they're hurt. Just because they are heroes who save the world? Who isn't hurt in that chaotic situation? I bet the normal citizen get hurt too. Hero is a human too, sometimes they do something wrong.

Do better how?
"Idk just do better, I'm black." dips
Pfft 🤣🤣
When RDJ was making jokes, it never felt like "this is a joke, please laugh now" like how current Disney Marvel movies are. It just felt like the jokes were something the character found funny but weren’t intended to make the audience laugh, even if that was in fact the intention. Delivery is what matters here, and he sold the in universe part of it, you never felt the constant overbearing nature of the “comedy” that we’ve been subjected to these past few years.
It didn’t feel as cold and corporate as it does now, back then it was more in character, now you can feel the mandates urging the writers. The MCU at it’s best, was never funny, it might get a chuckle here and there, but you don’t go for the comedy. But ever since Disney bought Marvel and really started getting ahold of the MCU, they’ve just been trying to figure out what it was that made the movies special. But they haven’t been able to recreate it no matter how hard they try. Phase 4 is just the result of all of this coming to ahead. Now everyone who made the MCU what it was is gone, there isn’t a real vision or plan for what’s next, but what is there are the mandates, the quotas, and the pandering. It was hijacked by people who have no idea what they’re doing, and ever since Captain Marvel, they’ve just been floundering.
ENDGAME was a horribly written and underwhelming follow up to the most important movie in the franchise. And it’s a crying shame how it turned out, it should have been a slam dunk, the best in the entire MCU. But it was the Sonic Forces of the MCU, a whole lot of missed potential, ruined characters, pointless fan-service/ nostalgia baiting, and bringing in a character nobody wanted to see brought back who wound up not being all that important in the end due to behind the scenes issues. I despised Forces upon release, and I enjoyed ENDGAME when I saw it in theaters. What ENDGAME got right was being able to trick you into believing it was good, something Forces couldn’t do. But how that time has passed, and you can take a critical eye to it, you’ll find that a lot of its problems have been glaring at you from the beginning. And in ENDGAME’s case those problems are many of the same issues plaguing the current Phase of the MCU. But where Disney Marvel failed, somehow Sonic Team managed to succeed, they saw their issues, the decided enough was enough, and they got to work on something they felt proud of for the first time in years. They gave the fans what they wanted, they ironed out their problems to the best of their abilities, and they’re listening to fan feedback.
It says something when Sonic Team, notorious for not learning the right lessons from their mistakes, manages to do so and succeed where an even bigger and better funded studio failed. I’m looking forward to what they do next, I have no desire to ever touch anything related to Disney Marvel ever again. They don’t care, so why should I? If they don’t show the paying customer and their fans the respect they deserve, why should we keep giving them what they want? It’ll take a lot for me to ever want anything they put out, same applies to everything Disney owns in general, Star Wars, Pixar, you name it. It’s all been going downhill in terms of quality for years now, the writing is just half of it really.
If anyone took the time to read this, thanks, I didn’t exactly get all of my points across the way I would have liked. And there is a lot more I could have said, but I’ll leave it there, thanks for taking the time to read this, hope you have a nice rest of your day.
Nah man, nail on the head.
You're in the theaters and even though the lead up to the ending fight was mangled, that ending fight was the thing we wanted to see in civil war but understood getting a comic accurate depiction of CW was not going to happen at the time, and the stakes of the infinity saga outweigh the stakes of CW. So this is the movie we're going to get the big team up we've been working a decade towards. It was a hype moment to see cap call out avengers assemble and the big horn swell while the theater goes ape shit.
It was a historic event to have been a part of.
The only reason why James gunns stuff holds up, is due to most of character being characters. Making choices the characters would do in the world as it is set up to be.
I agree with everything, but I liked the comedy in WandaVision. Only Agatha’s jokes though, which is not saying much since her actress is a comedian.
Imagine being hunted by the army and wanting to die but can't because your split personality wont let you, and your cousin is saying she has it harder because she gets cat called.
The joke where the dude would rather kill himself than listen to two women yap is unironically the funniest joke in the entire Phase 4 of the MCU.
To be fair, that‘s a very low bar, but the joke was very funny nonetheless.
Agatha being introduced into WandaVision turned what could've been a perfect MCU show into a show that completely tripped and fell at the finish line. The show didn't need a villain because Wanda was already the villain, Agatha only served to vindicate Wanda.
Omg! I felt the same. The last 2 episodes were trash and makes the whole thing pointless. Downfall of Wanda, multiverses and X-men related characters, redeeming arcs for Vision, it could be a good show.
@@blackscorpionstingerBut at least we got the song Agatha All Along out of it since it was catchy right?
Yeah, but we needed Agatha to knock some sense into Wanda since Monica was too soft on her. They could’ve made it so that Wanda would listen to Vision ig
I understand Wanda going crazy but calling her a hero because she let the people go is idiotic.
"No, listen, you don't understand. Hiring good writers would cost money, and we need that for ourselves." - every producer and film companie.
Watching She-Hulk part rn. I'm so frustrated when the writers skip the training and developing part while writing the new characters, especially female characters that are supposed to be "strong" (like She-Hulk or Rey from Star Wars). In my opinion one of the thing that makes a character strong is their path. Their problems, experiences, pain, fails and successes. You can't make character be right all the time, win all the time or be successful all the time. This doesn't make them strong, that makes them boring and unreletable. Also I have some issues with She-Hulk's design - like why isn't she as big and muscular as Hulk? (Maybe she can be a little smaller, but still). Here she is just a little bigger. Why aren't her clothes ripping off? Hulk has rubber pants, she could have rubber pants and bra/t-shirt. And what's with her eyebrows?
This review started strong but it sounds like you barely even looked into the last few, which is fine, it's your time, but then just don't review them. Kate Bishop share's the name of Hawkeye and it's not like we didn't know Hailee Steinfeld was a co-lead from before the show launched, and for readers of the Fraction comic she's actually less effective, a lot more naïve, and constantly in Hawkeye's shadow rather than putting out his fires. Loki did what few MCU shows and movies do and actually forwards the plot of the MCU, given what the TVA actually is it's less about dehorning Thanos and more about boosting Kang, as for Ms. Marvel, she's a fan favorite, a critical hit and yes, a money maker. The TPB's and digital constantly hit various best seller lists in the book's first few years of existence, only dropping off years later (then began climbing in sales again during covid.)
I say all this as someone who isn't a fan of these shows. They have serious problems and for the most part are lackluster and boring, but contrary to the shows I'd like the reviews to remain thoughtful.
"I'm not the one with the guns"
No. Just the reality altering powers... But I guess a few M16 are WAY stronger than the ability to warp reality.
Really, she could have done that with an empty town with the same results...
After Endgame I didn’t think Marvel could put a foot wrong. Seeing all the projects that have come after is truly shocking.
Find it such a shame that all the big franchises have gone to shit now, I used to be such a big fan of things like Marvel and Star Wars but now I find it a real struggle.
RIP
I feel the same way. There was a time where marvel and star wars was the only thing I looked forward too.
Half way through we had fan theories that Mefisto was involved with doing this for his own evil purposes but knowing now she did this willingly is just like WOW!!! The only "redemption" she has here is it is shown she is completely insane. Because rational persons who do things like this are objectively wicked.
The “explaining area of expertise” thing is SO fucking hypocritical given that Banner’s JOB for the past two decades has been keeping his anger in-check
The she hulk writers dont know the difference between emotional suppression and mindfulness. Ie, stomping your emotions down vs recognizing your emotionally state and fixing that.
Which if anything, proves just how emotionally immature the writers really are
The mcu really feels likes a tv show that hit its natural end point, but teh company behind the tv showed renewed the series for 4 more seasons while not giving the studio enough time to plan out their next saga oh and replaced all the talented writers with new ones while expecting the new writers to have the next season out within a year, the mcu should have either ended with Endgame OR gone on a break for a few years to write out the nextg story line
I've never seen a single episode of The Office, but that scene with him and Pam is packed with so much unspoken, emotional subtext that I almost cried.
I actually really enjoyed most of Hawkeye. I agree that it has some big problems but thankfully not as many or as bad as the other projects. There aren't any major plot holes or worldbreaking events or major contradictory worldbuilding stuff. There are quite a lot of good things in it.
1)It treats Hawkeye with respect and as a Legacy Character.
A)He is shown to be a competent spy, shield agent, and detective and I like how they integrated that part of his character into the show.
B)He is a major celebrity now because he has saved the world and major cities on multiple occasions. i)I like that he doesn't exactly enjoy the attention because his days as a spy and shield agent required him to retain a low profile. ii)I like that people ask for his autograph and offer him free meals or freak out when they realize who he is (unlike a certain other show *cough* Falcon *cough*)
C)He is still a very decent fighter (*cough* loki *cough cough* bucky *cough*) despite clearly slowing down from age and many injuries
D)He is shown to be a decent and good person on multiple occasions (*cough* take your pick of any other phase 4 character *cough*) i)He sacrifices precious time with his family to help a stranger he doesn't know to make sure she is safe ii)he lets the LARPer get his moment to shine iii)he didn't want to fight yelena and tried to talk her down which he eventually succeeded at. iv)
2)Lots of heartwarming, funny, sweet, and heartbreaking moments
A)When kate is helping a deaf hawkeye talk to his kid over the phone
B)When Clint is talking to Natasha at the avengers memorial
C)When he tries to comfort yelena and talks with her about Natasha (and yelena laments that it's not fair that he had so much time with her while she didn't)
D)when Clint fights all the LARPers I thought it was pretty funny
E)Clint confirming to Kate that she actually is a really good archer and she is so happy to hear him say that
F)Clint and Kate watching movies and him teaching her the coin trick
3)Kate is actually a decent character and not a mary sue
A)Her skill makes sense because she was inspired by Hawkeye fighting the chitauri and saving her as a kid to take up archery and compete in many tournaments for years
B)She makes a lot of mistakes and gets punished for them
C)She definitely is not as good a fighter or strategist or archer as Clint
D)Despite how difficult it is for her emotionally, she gets her corrupt, but well meaning, mother arrested. This is also very selfless of her since she would probably lose a vast majority of her fortune and cushy lifestyle that she has enjoyed thus far
E)The coin trick moment is admittedly a mary sue moment
F)she really reveres Clint and looks up to him and respects him
4)Neat details
A)Hawkeye being deaf is an interesting and logical consequence of him constantly fighting and being near so many explosions in his life
B)We finally got to see a lot of his more unique and very cool trick arrows
C)Clint's wife helping hawkeye with his investigation being a subtle nod to her as Mockingbird and a former shield agent herself was pretty cool
D)the plunger arrow is actually useful
E)The avengers play, while cringy, was charming
F)Clint knowing sign language now is cool and normally I don't enjoy sign language in shows or movies just for representation sake like in eternals, but in this it made sense because he is going deaf and it makes for interesting interactions with Echo. Another neat detail about it is that Clint clearly isn't proficient at it yet.
G) I like that the plot revolves around Hawkeye's shady past as the ronin catching up with him and having consequences for him now and that he does feel a little responsible for Echo
5)Fight and Action scenes were ok to good (not anything amazing though). The new trick arrows made things interesting and the choreography wasn't bad for the most part
That being said, here are my problems with it.
1)Kingpin sucked, period.
2)We should have gotten Clint's backstory
3)there are a lot of coincidences in this show
4)It's strange that so much avenger property is on the black market which is never explained
5)The macguffin watch was ultimately pointless
6)Echo was so so character wise, not bad but not great
I agree
We try to teach our kids that bullying is wrong because all you're doing is tearing someone else down just to make yourself look/feel better; that you are hurting inside and taking it out on others as a distraction and that's not right. Essentially, MCU Phase 4 is just a wide ranging cast of bullies shit-talking their more beloved predecessors in an attempt to make themselves look better or cooler. No. She-Hulk is a Hulk AND an attorney: that's bad ass in and of itself! You don't need to shit all over Hulk and Cap to make me like her. If anything, it just comes off as desperate. Elevate her up to their level; don't just try to drag them down beneath her.
I wish people did.
Yeah, they lost their moral compass. They forget that the show is watch by many people also children and teenagers who can take their moral standards seriously and apply it in real world.

hearing wanda try to one up the director by saying “Your the ones with the guns” When she literally has a whole city in mind controlled communism was so fucking terrible
You're supposed to be jedi mind tricked into forgetting about that part.
Only the current scene exists where she responds to director's accusation with a quippy remark that completely owns him and shows that she's in the right. 😌
I wouldnt say Hawkeye had a bait and switch when the trailers were already letting you know it was about how he mentor Kate Bishop to be the next Hawkeye and even the comics set her up.
WandaVision really is a character assassination - it destroyed not just the potential for Scarlet Witch to be an awesome villain, but every character who tried to justify, ignore, or even praise what she did, like Monica Rambeau, and later, in MoM, Dr. Strange! Oh, and for the lunatics who were shedding crocodile tears about motherhood (that most of them despise) - she was never separated from her kids because they never existed, not even in alternate universes (on any reasonable view), as Vision wasn’t a biological being capable of knocking her up, to put it crudely! This would be like me feeling lost and lonely, having a vivid dream about an amazing woman that falls in love with me, then waking up, getting angry that the woman is not real, and trying to destroy the universe/multiverse “looking for her”. How much sympathy would I deserve, and how much could I expect from intersectional feminists?
Did anyone else begin phase 4 super excited about these shows, watched a couple, found them bad to mid in quality and then didn’t watch the rest? I never thought that would be possible. I was such a huge Marvel fan and when I saw the line up of shows, I freaked out, super enthusiastic about what was to come. I was so young and naive back then. Those were the good ol days… it only took a couple months for it all to come crumbling down.
I think you, like many others, were watching the series not because you were a "a huge Marvel fan", but because you liked the characters as portrayed by the MCU. The fact that the majority of viewers turned their backs of the franchise when it either demolished those characters (e.g.: Thor, Loki, Wanda, Strange) or replaced them with inferior copies (pretty much everyone else) isn't surprising at all, and then we didn't even delve into the absolutely terrible plots and continuity yet.
@@Horvath_Gaboryeah, they should establish the already strong character in MCU and make them the new Evengers. Instead keep showing new character as a replica from old one.
We still have Dr strange, Bruce, Thor, Spider-Man, Hawkey, Wanda, Shuri, Falcon, Wong, Antman and so on. I don't think they have to be a replica of the old Heroes to be a new Evengers.
I don't think Falcon needs to be a new Captain America to be a new power in Evengers, just let the title Captain America buried with Steve Rogers, and let Falcon be himself. Shuri didn't need to be a new Black Panther, I think laboratorium suited her more. Bruce can always be Bruce. Hawkey is still young and strong, no need to change him with a young girl, she can be his student for now. We can slowly let Spiderman join them, because everyone forget about him. Thor can join The Guardian of The Galaxy for now. Wanda can be a new villain if she still isn't in her right mind. If they need new Hero they can introduce them to us slowly.
They too rush right now. Too much new face that we didn't have connection yet. If they want to make series, why didn't they make a more simple problems around the Hero and make them slowly get together again? After they have enough bond, they can introduce us with new Hero.
Right now, the original Avengers that left behind is scattered and didn't have enough bond, yet they keep give us new Hero. They should focus with the Hero they already have first.
The Original backstory for She Hulk was that she got into a car accident and Bruce, who had the same blood type, gave her a transfusion to save her life......
Yes, but that would mean a man helped her, and if a man helped her then who's gonna be the villain lol
The show indeed did her dirty. She not that bad in comic. I think they didn't read the comic properly, or simply didn't care
"I'm great at controlling my anger because i get catcalled" she says, just hours after losing control because she was catcalled.
Truly the writing of all time.
She gets a couple drops in her blood and she's SHE HULK? Hulk is 100% Hulk, she is .02% Hulk, so what the FUCK Marvel!!!!
I got halfway through the first episode of She-Hulk. As a fan of the old hulk cartoons, I was really excited to see a live action she-hulk. You can only hear so many versions of “men are awful because they’re men and women are victims because of men” before just turning the tv off and just reading a comic book about an awesome lawyer who is also a badass green monster woman
As to Loki where the Infinity stones are basically worthless outside of their own universe, that's canonically correct. They are almost all powerful in ONLY their own universe.
That's a cook concept
Before we start, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Loki and Hawkeye. To the point I feel like I must watch Hawkeye every Christmas
I’m sorry that you feel that way, that’s rough buddy
Ya know something, Shang-Chi should've been a show instead of a movie. That way they wouldn't have to do a big CGI battle at the end. It can be smaller scale, and have him interact with other street level heroes like Spiderman or Daredevil.
Wow it will looks fun
36:07 to be completely fair, the Guardians Of The Galaxy weren't popular at all during their comic run either. They only became popular thanks to the movies attached to them. That's why Star-Lord slowly looked more and more like Chris Pratt in the comics. He used to look way different than that, he didn't even have the cool red jacket
Hulk is the single biggest screw up the MCU has had and this phase has just continued to disrespect his comics legacy. He should be easily the biggest and most uncontrollable wrecking ball in the MCU.
She-Hulk is only the latest insult to his potential / comics persona. Say what you will about Ang Lee’s Hulk movie with Eric Bana, at least they got his powers right!
He should be like Superman. His story should be written around his OP nature., don’t nerf him because you can’t find writers intelligent enough to think of a story that challenges his power set. 😢
Yes!! F for Hulk..
add Thor to that sad list of screw-ups from MCU. They did my favourite character such a big 'fuck you' that I don't even want to watch anymore of the MCU
True, but I'd add more: Every single character from the comics and the first three phases of the MCU wes desecrated beyond repair, stripped of any semblance of respect and personality, left to die/fade away to make space for their replacements.
No character should be introduced at the expense of previously established house names, instead, the writers should've worked harder to make us like them (but apparently doing their job properly is too much to ask)
"Why men never understand and be nice to woman?!"
*Immediately belittle men when show compassion*
I will say, kate bishop getting her abilites is well done.
Its directly shown that she spent year training in competition.
And its only now with clint that she gain actual superhero experiance, she has street fights and her fight scenes are well done.
Showing off her technique, but lack of actual real fighting experiance.
Considering how Disney/Marvel is now, I was actually surprised in Hawkeye when a little girl was inspired by a non-super-powered man. 🤣🤣
That was like the opposite of what they've been trying to force feed you: "Inspire little girls with powerful independent woMAN."
🤣🤣
😂💯
Not the She-Hulk saying that she suffered more than Bruce just because she is a woman bro 😭🙏 that such a terrible way to try write gender struggle
It made the opposite effect, people started bashing this EVEN MORE
Not only its a TERRIBLE way
But you choosed the LAST character you would pick to write this
Bruce was fucking tortured his entire life, his father, the hulk, the army
bro
Why marvel acted like sony getting the worst writers and directors to make their shit in phase 4
The first episode of moonight was so intriguing it left me wanting more. But the last 2 or so episodes just shit the bed. It progressively got worse. Its like all those scifi shows with a cool premise that reel you in with a mystery phenomena, but then just keeps going on for ever giving you more questions than awnsers.
The funniest thing about the She-Hulk commentary is how Bruce, being a man, is not in control of his feelings and it's like he's always angry. For those not following, we're talking about THE HULK here - and his defining trait.
I have no idea how much youtubers make, but I do know it's not enough to pay me to sit through that much shit. My condolences to you sir.
I can't relate to nor empathize with a spoiled kid living in a New York penthouse and attending a prestigious university. Sorry, Kate. 31:46
hater
It astounds me that things like the DC animated universe had a better grasp on political commentary and morality than Disney’s superhero shows taking place 2 decades after it aired.
I can watch the DCAU, DC Unlimited, Static Shock, Batman the animated series and still the characters, stories, and commentary are so relevant and genuine.
I mean, I know it’s still possible to write shows like that. It’s just the execs are out of touch dinosaurs who won’t let their good creatives do their thing.
That's kinda what DC excel at. Marvel tries to show what happens when regular people get powers while DC shows what it would be like if "gods" lived among us.
You said you think WandaVision is the worst show in the MCU. Really, worse than She-Hulk??? In terms of damage to legacy characters & the shoehorning of irrelevant politics into the story I’d have to say She-Hulk is far worse.
He calls everything the worst kinda lost the meaning of the word my guess he would still rank She-Hulk at the bottom
So why is Abomination alive when HULK snapped his neck and why the Fuck is he a Fish now
Hulk didn’t snap his neck, he was about to when Betty(remember her?) told him not to. We never saw Abomination after that. As for why he’s a fish, Idk
Here's the funny part about she hulk. They could have LITERALLY skipped like the entire first episode. She could have literally had a call from bruce about him being in town or something. She answers, "Look, just because we got tangled up in this together during the blip doesn't mean we have to hang out'. Done, the entire backstory thrown out there, decent length of time for her to be good at hulk shit etc.
MCU is trying to recreate The Joker with all these evil people that are actually just sad emo people like freckle Jesus, wanda, gorr the kidnapper without even realizing why that movie worked.
Here is the thing: everyone knows Joker is an irredimable villian. In Falcon and the Winter Soldier youre not supposed to call red hair chick terrorist even do she objectively did worse things than Joker (at least Joker had the decency to give police a heads up, red hair chick just blowed buildings with innocent people inside.)
@@ramonserna8089 wtf that's what a terrorist does. That's why she was called a terrorist
Falcon winter soldier for me is one of the better shows that MCU has put out, only for one reason - its play on conflicting types of justice and reason, and hence, its implication on replacing Steve Rogers with an adequate replacement. Yes they should've done more work on justifying flag smashers' actions (maybe a scene or two that shows GRC making their life hell), but the intent was to put down an political idea that would be uneasy to digest by the users. They brought in serious talent to write the story, but dialogues is where it sometimes falls apart.
@@ramonserna8089 Joker also let's the viewers think for themselves if Arthur's actions are justifiable or not. We didn't get cringe dialogs like "they'll never know what you sacrificed" or "stop calling him a terrorist!". Freckle Jesus blew up entire buildings with people without a second thought but nope Freckle Jesus is just eMotiOnAl so "you've got to stop calling her a terrorist" lmao. Swap freckle Jesus with a guy then the show will tell you he's the biggest terrorist in the world...it never works the other way around lmao
@@MrShadowSmith Ok, follow me on this: Thanos is a bad guy. He is the big baddie on his universe. Were supposed to cheer when they kill him and when they beat his alternate version up. His plan was to dissapear half of the population to provide more resources for the other half. This is "horrible" and we have half of endgame movie of people grieving and telling us it was a super bad thing to do. Frekled Jesus agree with Thanos. Her "plan" is to kill innocent people and destroy things until half of the population is erased again or something (even do the goverment has literally zero capability to do so). How is she not a villian??? Why do people put Captain America on trial for killing a terrorist who had just murdered his best friend infront of him? He was a condecorated hero who fought all his life to protect the world and made 1 mistake yet get zero empathy? Bruh.
Ah yes, getting cat called is worse than gladiatorial combat
Deffo worse than losing many of your loved ones
@jerdand_carguelles49 it's worse than being the one who killed many of your loved ones
I think the scene that truly killed she hulk for me, was actually the crash, in 616, Bruce has to choose to save Jens life by giving her a blood transfusion but doom her to be like him, it's a cool emotional thing for him to deal with and a great way to set up their familial relationship, but instead it's an accident where the mousy lawyer lady has to pull an unconscious HULK out of a crashed car, because she has a vagina and that makes her better than him
Nobody cat calls her even in real life.
I so wish there could be good female heroes and villians again. Not just these stand-ins for rich Hollywood women whose biggest hardship in life is not being allowed to go uncriticized and uncontested for their self-centered paradigms.
Moonknight is the best character introduced since Spider-Man in Civil War
Yeah, I love him. He is so interesting
I quite love Moon Knight. The hero has a quite new and interesting background story than the other MCU heroes.
The way the series portray DID is interesting. From the starts, they make us confused which one is the original personality and what really happened to him. They take us on the hero's emotional rollercoaster of journey to find himself. It's fun because I constantly questioning my own judgment and understanding of the overall situation. I feel like I also sick like the hero.
I also love that the other personality isn't a total evil character like how the other popular show often portrayed DID, and then make them the ultimate villain.
The hero give a fresh air because he isn't a justice driven person like I always see in other heroes. Honestly, he's quite brutal and has a questionable moral standing. He give a dark energy, but isn't a total evil person. And the other personality of him is sweet, kind, silly, clumsy, and cowardly, make him more interesting character to observe.
Moon Knight indeed doesn't show much of his superpowers. So, in my opinion it's more like a drama series than a superhero series. I really love that the true archenemy of the hero in this series is himself, and the emotional struggles he go through to accept it feels so realistic. I can accept it as a hero's origin story. I hope I can see more of his superpower in his movie. I think he have a lot of room to grow as an antihero or maybe a hero with dark energy.
21:00 I love how whenever someone brings up Bruces abusive father a she hulk defender will go, " no that didnt happen in the MCU so therefore its not valid". Yeah just like how we never saw uncle ben die meaning he never existed 0_0
And even if we pretend that's not the case, Male Hulk's life is still harder than She Hulk's. Because guess what, having a va*ina doesn't automatically mean your life is harder than a man's. Almost as if different people experience different things or something.
@@jeremyusreevu237 yeah I mean who even remembers that time he was a slave for several years force to fight for people's entertainment or how about the fact that he'll never be able to have kids
*MCU Scar*
What the fuck is that thing?
by that logic we also never saw Jen getting catcalled or mansplained before she went on her rant, therefore it's invalid.... just fun to point that out....
@@petriew2018 your right and we never saw her in college therefore she doesn't have a law degree either.
@@TheScarletSlayer i mean, let's be honest, nobody would believe she finished law school i the first place even if they had showed it, given what an absolute trainwreck of a lawyer she really is when she tries....
The one thing I want to disagree with is Hawkeye. I actually enjoyed the show. Sure it was slow, no one really cares about Hawkeye, played the exact same trope of setting up the better female version of the legacy character and had Echo as one of the villains who no one cared about either. But what makes it better than a lot of Phase 4 is that 1: Kate Bishop is actually likable and isn’t looking down on Hawkeye and taking every moment to challenge his abilities. 2: I wouldn’t say she is just as skilled as he is since it’s shown through that 30 seconds of opening credits that she worked her whole life to be athletic and a good archer. It’s lazy to put all her training into a short intro where we don’t see her so much of anything, but it at least tells us she’s worked for years to train and at least didn’t take 10 minutes to be good at everything (She/Her Hulk). Lastly, it’s shown that Kate is way out of her element when she takes on Hawkeye’s old identity. Kate struggles from time to time, not as much as she probably should, but there is at least some moments where she does something wrong or needs Hawkeye to teach her. Overall, I think Hawkeye was a good show compared to the rest.
Agree, it passed the albeit low bar of being maybe the best of the Disney+ TV shows. Unfortunately it didn't really cover what I think would have been the most interesting subject, what Hawkeye was up to in between Infinity War and Endgame. They touched on it in that as the Ronin he killed Echo's father, but this show should have been exploring his journey and exploits during that time. And Yelena just believing that Clint didn't kill Natasha because he said so was just as idiotic as her believing that he did kill her just because Julia Louis-Dreyfus said he did
@@etrosknight2254 yeah that’s a fair criticism. They kinda skipped over that all. I didn’t care much about Echo and she could have been left out of the show entirely if we could have gotten more King Pin.
In werewolf by night, Jack knew he was a monster. He was going undercover to save his friend.
Edit: also, in Loki, the bigger threat Loki was brought in to help them with was the lady Loki, not Kang. Kang was running the TVA.
Sorry, I don’t mean to nitpick. Love your video! Good job making it through all these shows. I couldn’t.
The funniest part of She-Hulk, is when she is explaining to bruce why she is "better" at controlling her anger than him, she was visibly getting angry 😂 like.. you say you can control it but you just lost your temper over bruce explaining how the powers work.
She Hulk is more annoying than offensive. Everyone in that universe is a limited cartoon version of how the writers think people act.
The best part of phase 4 was when I skipped all the movies and shows and then the phase ended.
I think you're confusing having an agenda with pandering to a very extreme niche of society. They wanted to pander to one group, but didn't realize they pandered to only the most radical people in that group.
It's funny how the actor who plays Titania is part of the main cast in an actually funny comedy show call The Good Place where the main character is a woman, an asshole and happens to become a good person because of a male.
So Hawkeye…
Clint and Kate share the screen fairly, and their situation as co-leads was known pre-release. It wasn’t deceptive marketing.
Kate isn’t immediately on Clint’s level. At all. She has to learn so much over the course of the series before she gets anywhere close to him.
And I was glad the show at least respected the original character.
Yeah hawkeye is pretty decent
I still don't know why they can't just come up with new characters instead of "look it's the one you've always loved *but now it's a child or/and a girl* eh? Isn't that incredibly mcreative! "
@@Simon-is2xd idk, Kate Bishop’s not shown to be just like Clint save for the gender difference. She’s her own person even if she does train under him. She’s not just his clone.
And this isn’t the MCU’s fault either. She’s been in the comics since 2005.
I feel like they could have made the idea of she hulk being initially better at containing her anger then bruce by making it a point that they have different sources of anger, like bruces anger stems from deep trauma whereas she hulks comes from microagressions (ig?)
"They realized they aren't good at writing courtroom drama."
You know you can actually hire lawyers to advise you on the writing, right Marvel?
hiring people smarter than the token diversity hires you have running the show would just undermine basically the whole point of the show in the first place, because it would admit that talent matters more than superficial things like skin color and ethnicity....
@@petriew2018 They could have hired my wife. She's a successful lawyer and not white, which ticks all the right boxes. Or they could have hired any other POC female lawyer in any other law office in America, there's literally thousands to choose from. The She-Hulk show was a huge disappointment to my wife, because they didn't even try to get the legal aspect right which pissed her off from the very first court scene. She-Hulk was supposed to be a top-notch lawyer, but they never showed it in the series. A courtroom drama about superhuman issues could have been a really interesting idea with a proper story arc of She-Hulk dealing with her new powers, but they didn't even care enough to hire a proper writer. It showed a total lack of respect for the character, the audience, and the legal profession.
She hulk tear downs literally never get old.
I liked both Loki and Hawkeye. Going into Hawkeye I knew Jeremy Renner was being replaced. As for Ms Marvel I couldn't get through the show, however she was the only bright spot in The Marvels. I can't get into What If
Hulk has been disrespected since the beginning of the MCU... ignoring his svicide attempt, immediately whipping from vaguely acknowledging his suffering to making jokes about him. Plus turning the Hulk side of him from what feels more like an expression of trauma and his subconscious to a silly stupid creature. It makes me sad.
Hulk has always been a one note character, so whatever they do with it can work as long as they don't go too far.
I didn't know the GotG holiday special existed until after watching GotG 3 and having to Google when Peter and Mantis became siblings. It's a chore to do all the homework before watching these movies and I pretty much don't care to watch anymore.
