It’s been a fun journey since the MCU took off with Robert Downey Jr. blasting across the screen in Iron Man. Times were good and movies were fun and mostly well-made. Well, those happy movie days are gone when it comes to Marvel. Disney has chosen to put their largest franchise into the hands of an inexperienced filmmaker who has delivered The Marvels. A piece of content that I’m not even sure qualifies as a movie.
Let’s take a look at The Marvels, a masterpiece! - บันเทิง
Hey Legends! Which Marvel film was the nail in the coffin for you? I’m back after an unexpected break. Time to catch up with some great movies. Cheers!
nice
No Way Home
Literally haven’t watched a single Marvel product since Endgame.
I knew from that moment that Disney would never make something worth watching again and I chose to watch other stuff, including garbage like Ridley Scott’s half of a Napoleon film.
Apart from the Spidey films I haven't watched any since Endgame.
I checked out early after Inifinity War, not wanting to torture myself with Captain Marvel.
No regrets whatsoever!
Jeff Bridges bellowing that line... "Tony Stark was able to build this...." still gets me.
The first Iron Man was such a strong movie. We won't get this again soon.
Scaring the kid from A Christmas Story in the process.
@@Scorpio2074As a film or a setup for a universe is a solid way to start it.
@@archstanton9073 Well he should have drank his ovaltine. 1 glass of ovaltine as a child = 1 invention when you're older.
And the person he is yelling at is the actor who played Ralphie in A Christmas Story
"It's not about the money, it's about sending the message." - Disney
The message being "give us your money"?
more true than you know. media control is mind control. well worth absorbing a few years of loses to normalize 'the narrative'.
... Then proceeds to burn down entire cinematic universe.
Same with Dr Who... LMAO... so, so bad.
lol ok..... BYE HAHAHAHA
"He even sits down during his fight scene."
Wow, so Nick Fury has officially gone full Steven Seagal... Amazing how far the MCU has come!
It's time for a movie with Ben : The Bad Ass Homboy.
The Marvels didn't kill the MCU. It's been dead for years. This movie was just the final nail in the coffin.
we just didn't state time of death
Bruh that final nail went in a while ago. At this point they are building another coffin around the old one.
oh there are more nails coming. nothing is final until they stop shoveling.
@@randommcranderson5155At this point, Disney is driving nails into the earth under which the coffin is buried- a POINTLESS GESTURE, typical of the SJWs running the company.
final scoop of soil
True story. I saw the Marvel characters at Disneyland this last week. They had ONE person taking photos with the Marvel girls from the new movie in the Avengers’ Campus. Iron man is dead and he had a 45 min wait for photos. I think that sums it up.
Could you imagine if they had Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader actually show up to Star Wars land? But no, we get new sequel characters. 💩
A little bit confused here. You said there was only ONE person taking photos with the characters at Avengers Campus, but then you said IronMan had a 45 minute wait? Could you maybe be more clear plz?
@@StormC9101 there was one person saying hi to the marvel girls from the new movie and a hundred waiting for iron man. Maybe 5 or so around the ant man people.
@@Sig_P229 thank you for responding, I appreciate it. But yeah, that’s proof right there that people go to Avengers Campus for their OG stuff, NOT their recent crap, I’ve always wanted to go to Avengers Campus myself, and that’s what I’d go there for. I LOVE Ironman 3000 and a 45-minute wait for a photo with him would be TOTALLY worth it for me-he may no longer be living, but his legacy most definitely is ❤️
I honestly almost feel bad for Iman and the many tokenized characters pushed purely for superficial, racist reasons. Iman knows the comics n surely KNOWS ms marvel sucks and essentially damaged then cancelled literally ever single time. Just go back to muscle, boobs and heroism . It’s not complicated
My dad fell asleep about half-way through the movie and didn't believe me when I said Captain Marvel had a Disney Princess dance number.
😅👍
Hang on a second, so the Kree have lived on their planet for years .... without a sun???? And she could have "turned it back on" at pretty much any time?
It's time for a new movie featuring an original hero like Henry the Horn Dog Stallion!
I stand with Don. Gone but not forgotten.
Don but not forgotten.
Justice for Don.
I seriously hope the actor who played Don sees this video.
Blessed be The Don.
@@jculver1674 you should watch EFAP 36 where Robot Head and the Massives first learn of the great The Don.
R.I.P. Don. You were a legend.
I came to the comments for this. Thank you good sir.
Don was for sure a real one 😔
That Don story was better than what Marvel had produced in the last few years.
It's time for a movie with an original hero like Henry the Horn Dog Stallion!
“Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave.”
Exquisite! That phrase just got oh so ironic.
Disney never learns
Nope
ESG financing
Stick a chick in it and make it gay. Just what comic book movie crowd of guys wants. And apparently neither do women who won’t watch this garbage either.
They find learning offensive... Quite being a bigot... Stop bullying the special needs kid...
Same old story, Disney and fans, ACME and Wile E. Coyote, Melania and Trump, need I go on?
As a former 8 yo girl, you're not wrong about what we like. Personally, though, I would have insisted on a cute sidekick like R2D2, a villain who looks like James Bond and an explosion or two. What can I say - I was a tomboy dreaming of becoming a Jedi.
Thanks for the video!
The school told my child men can have babies and that every letter in the alphabet is for a different kind of alphabet soup person but not what a tomboy was. Groomers Anonymous.
Don't call yourself a tomboy! That's too casual and normal for a female. You're a successful business woman who fought against evil men to climb the corporate ladder against all odds and became the CEO where you replaced everybody with women. You were born perfect and had nothing to learn from anyone because you're omnipotent.
@@Drak976 dear god, that’s terrible!!
The patriarchy has striken again, preventing all the 'go girl!' feminists to actually go see the movie.
Feminist products are usually boring or downright dangerous.
What Disney does not understand or refuses to understand is that we the public got "the message" loud and clear and have rejected it. In the words of Winston Churchill: You have sat too long. Go and let us be done with you. In the nane of God, go! Since Disney and its minons feel no obligation to stay faithful to the source material, I have no interest in watching their movies.
Brie Larson: “I’m an Academy Award-winning actress-why am I in sh!t like this?”
Natalie Portman: “My thoughts exactly.”
She just does these dumb Disney movies for the bag and exposure.
It must be so cringe for a woman of her intelligence and stature to film these corny super shero movies.
Natalie Portman was never a good actress. She's just highly fuckable which gives her a pass.
To add.... The Don story was hilarious. I loved it.
Cheers 😅👍
I love your in depth character exploration of The Don and how Captain Marvel completely overreacted and manhandled a good man.
I see Bree Larson is still using her patented emotional range acting technique which consist of her going wide eyed and looking to the left or right without turning he head, or going narrow eyed and looking to the left or right.
It reminds me of Ian McKellen's taking a breath in preparation to give a reply then giving up and just gently lowing his head in resignation.
C3PO has a wider range of facial expressions :))
Seriously, what is wrong with Hollywood and making all those female characters act like stoic robots. Heck, I could more likely pick up more emotive, and better-acting people randomly on the streets. At least they would show some emotions.@@kevbridges3387
its better than blue steel
Ikr? She’s effing terrible
I heard that when you see a famous actor in a chair they are phoning it in and only agreed to do the movie if they could sit. Jackson was sitting in Saw 9 too 🤣🤣🤣
in the comics she has to absorb energy or she runs out. so the trick is to not shoot energy blasts at her and just wear her down with hand to hand or dodge her until she runs out of gas. they could have incorporated this by forcing her to become weaker each time she controlled the place swapping forcing the other two less experienced fighters to step up. they could have even swapped the powers for an extra level to it all. but no gotta boss girl.
That would have required knowledge.
And writing a character that isn't a Mary Sue. And showing that women can actually show a weakness, and use it to develop their character to become someone that this character can be proud of becoming.@@therealking6202
@@therealking6202 even better idea. she can pause place swapping and it makes her weaker each time and SHE cant move.
@@danielroden9424 If she absorbs energy to gain power, that could explain the death of the other planet and civilization. She had to power up to fight a big bad, to save the universe, but in doing so she doomed an entire solar system's worth of people. That doomed civilization views her as the devil and claws their way back from the brink of extinction to try to defeat her (viewing her as a big bad).
That would require an understanding of perspective beyond "looks like me, I'm represented now".
@@jimbo9305 right and it would explain why she tanked thanos effortlessly she absorbed his entire battleships barrage of energy. so cool that makes sense! but no boss girl gotta boss girl. no flaws no weaknesses only boss girl
You remembered Don. Robots really do care.
I've heard Disney is tripling down, be prepared for more of this crap.
I will continue to not give them money or attention then. Lol
If there is a hostile takeover of Disney, could they stream it? I'd watch, especially if there were broadswords and battle axes and a few siege engines...
My word, that'll be a lot of popcorn!
I've heard the exact opposite. They are slowing down. At least for Marvel I dunno about Star Wars.
Yeppers all for the ESGs.
@@vilelucabut you will fan boy pages dedicated to trashing them? Ok......
The "Tony Stark built this in a cave" is perfect rendition of the mentality of Marvel executives these days
Activists: “Did you spread the message?”
Disney: “Yes.”
Activists: “What did it cost you?”
Disney: “Everything.”
[Thanos Says] _"Everything"_
This is perfection on how to use their bs to show the world the lunacy.
What message?
@gouravchakraborty9801 these guys are 🤡
@@gouravchakraborty9801 The Message.
IT IS ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE THE DON.
Via Don Dios.
Don, but not forgotten.
You know it's bad for them when it's more entertaining to watch video essays of your company failing than it is to watch the movies you paid millions to make.
I've heard several headcanons for The Don, but that was the most beautiful and tragic one.
"Now there's nothing wrong a story that appeals to everyone, including children...But appealing to children doesn't mean you should act like a child."
Exactly.
I like how Invincible tackled the "no air" problem by just having the characters able to hold breaths for literal months at a time.
@awhellnah__It's still way more than Disney puts into anything. They are below lazy, they are stupid.
@awhellnah__your no more creative so don't even start😂💀
@awhellnah__better than anything you could’ve come up with.
I seen someone in a comment section saying fans were ungrateful because they spent money on comic book movies and all they do is complain, then again he also said the latest phase was fun so I can only assume he works for Disney
Probably one of those bots that floods every new Disney trailer with positive comments about how fun it looks. It happened with Madam Webb as well
@@Avalon_1991I only see the ones recommending a great financial advisor...lol...
And yet when someone produces fun/good movies, they don't complain anymore. What a mystery, huh? I wonder what may be the reason...
Ok so he likes this latest phase why does that matter?
@@therealking6202it's funny when there's 5 of them talking to each other. You'd have to be really dumb to fall for it.
There's a difference between making a family movie and a kid's movie.
A family movie speaks to children on a level they can understand, a kid's movie talks down to children.
The fundamental difference is respect for the audience.
Disney seems to have taken “put a chick in it and make her gay” as sound advice and not sarcasm
It does seem to have been written by a child “and then she becomes a princess and then there are a lot of kittens and then the kittens eat people and then they all sing and dance (Tik tok take notice) and then she uses her superpowers to restart a star and then.,.
2:51 Ah the Don.. the hero we all needed but not the one we deserved 😢
Good to have you back Robot Head!
Don, but not forgotten!
Entertaining as always! My deepest condolences for your loss.
Thanks 👍
Disney your tears are delicious 😊
Endgame was the Endgame.
Infinity War was the endgame. Endgame sucked
@@deadschooledthank you!
*Infinity War
@deadschooled In your opinion, Infinity War was better, but Endgame had some great moments, Cap using the hammer, Falcon saying on you left,The Avengers Assemble battle cry and many other moments,so IMO and others,no it didn't suck.
Anyone else think it’s weird that Miss Marvel looks up to Captain Marvel in the movies? Not because of the quality of person Carol is. But, rather, how does Kamala even know who Carol is?
Carol left Earth in the 80s, was gone until it was time to kill Thanos, after he’d already wiped out half of all life, then actively wasn’t present on Earth most of the time because the rest of the universe needed help apparently, and then came back again when Thanos came back again.
I’m surprised she’s much of a known figure at all on Earth.
Good point.
That's a really good point. Only the avengers and associates would even know who she is.
Don't forget the power of non-white girls in Disney movies. Every girl in Disney movies instantly mentally downloads all the information she needs from her male counterpart to be better than him at whatever he spent his whole life learning to do. See also: Rey, Pepper, Ironheart, Antman's daughter, Hawkeye's daughter, the whole country of wakanda...
Must have been from Scott Lang, in his book or podcast. *shrug*
This is facts...they present it like she's a well known hero...but she's not
Monica Rambeau, who is not using her powers (when Monica and Kamala both swap with Carol)... Flying isn't a power now?
I'm going to be completely honest: when you mentioned Thor: Love & Thunder I had forgotten it ever released.
Exactly these movies are forgettable literally I forgot the whole plot for it
Bless the Don, we didn't know how good we had it
Once the trailer launched everyone knew this would happen.
3:27 I would much rather have seen The Don’s story than Captain Marvel’s. Lol
4:25 There’s no way Thanos wasn’t fucking with her. She wasn’t phased by a punch from the fully formed gauntlet but he just took out the purple jelly bean, and just punted her with it like a small kitten. 🤣
There was a time when I would've never missed a marvel movie, well not anymore 13:30
christ, they could just have made her weakness not being able to breathe without air and that'd at least be something
RIP Don you absolute legend
More accurately, Marvel was already dead and The Marvels was just the coroner filling out the death certificate.
Captain undertaker
The only good thing to come from the Marvels is Disney getting a harsh reality check that even normies dont care about the MCU anymore!
Well the super hero train had to stop eventually. It's been 20+ years of this genre milking fans for all they're worth. I'd say it was a good run for them.
Just like westerns and musicals died so will super hero films. We will ofcourse still see a couple each year but nowhere the same amount as before.
Good thing for Disney that they own so many properties that they can easily pivot to the next movie genre fad.
Hey
Thanks for watching this for us so millions of others didn’t have to see this and burn their eyes !! Your sacrifice is truly appreciated
Also
That scene with Dan looks an awful lot like Terminator 2
You noticed it 2, yes?
I was thinking T2 in that Dan scene also. I was half expecting him to throw the key since his hand looked just like the biker that was thrown on the grill.
Damn Marvel failed when they made Thor a joker
And Loki.
Bro, Don part broke me
RIP king
😭😭😭😭😭
Let’s be honest. Marvel had a LEGENDARY run for 10 years building up to endgame. Marvel just wrote themselves into a corner. Just reboot
Don bless. That bit took me back to the original EFAP discussion when that clip was released. Good form, sir.
The Marvels feels like something I would see on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel.
Exactly
The fact that the character was only created to spite DC and steal the character name rights, and only ever had stories when they were about to lose the rights to the character name, tells the whole story. Not even a real marvel character, Shazam!
Here to see you rip on Disney ❤
I think they accidentally ended up in a different timeline when they traveled through time in Endgame, the darkest timeline.
That could actually be a brilliant story line and a ready made excuse for Marvel to fix things lol. Even make it an “Avengers level threat” with its own phase lol
Did Marvel use the same animation that was used in the Lightyear movie? Monica looks exactly like the black astronaut woman.
RIP The Don
It didn't start after Endgame. To me. It started when Stan Lee passed away.
Stan's always been the one thing that locked marvel down ever since Iron Man 1 came out as well as the films before it like Dare Devil, Fantastic Four, Dead Pool, and the Punisher.
He's always had the final say as the creator.
But his health started declining. Wife passed away. His family started speaking for him when he couldnt.
But didn't anybody find it weird that the moment stan Lee died, that's when Professor Hulk showed up??
Disney is dead. Thier constant attempt to introduce my children to sexualization and sexual preference has left me no choice but to simply not watch them anymore.
Bad Movie Fatigue strikes again
Yep😊
Sorry about your loss!
Thoughts and prayers for Don.. ☝🏾
It’s times like this that I’m glad that all of my favorite Disney stuff is too obscure for them to bother screwing up.
If I could give you two thumbs up, I would. Well done as usual sir.
Sam Jackson borrowed the sitting down fight scene idea from Steven Seagal’s movie contracts from the past 20 years
I feel like HISHE will make a scene with Carol leaving and going up in the sky and just points how it made no sense to why she did it
The nearly indistructible and overpowered space Jesus stubborn and self-possessed character already had a role - Adam Warlock. And it was beautiful in the comics because even after all that, he still had major challenges in Thanos, Goddess, and, my personal favorite villain (and my dog's name) Magus.
Appealing to everyone is to Appeal to no one.
💯💯💯
Exactly
But it's not appealing to everyone. That's the entire point. They are appealing to the wrong audience. (Not invalidating what you said... I'm trying to add to it).
Imagine if the NFL got a new President, and suddenly the players started wearing fashionable uniforms that reduced protection and were required to perform in the halftime show. That's not appealing to everyone. That's appealing to a specific audience that most likely didn't watch the NFL, and then prioritizing THEIR wants over the established audience that's been there all along and vaulted you to success in the first place!
Taking a behemoth of success, a freaking cash cow, and changing everything that made it great to appease to an "alternative" audience will wind up in college business classes as an example of how to destroy a franchise.
I never want to hear "Sabotage" or "Intergalactic" EVER again. Sick of them.
But what about the fun and chemistry
Looking forward to part 2. ❤
All the little girls I've ever met, from my nursery days up to now, can write a story that makes sense.
2:52 This piece about The Don is far better than anything since End Game.
The only reaction that Disney executives are capable of having when they see that their policy is poorly received is: “we haven’t gone far enough with our policy.”
The MCU was doomed years ago.
Capt marvel weakness...the box office 😂😂😂😂
This was the best Marvels review. I watched the movie and watched all my favorite TH-camrs reviews and Robothead really nailed it. I sincerely enjoyed it.
Thanks. Nice to hear 👍
robothead "not sure how a sun gets destroyed in a civil war"
me "you obviously haven't heard of calth then"
If Captain Marvel got her power from the Infinity Stone, why is she indestructible when it wasn't?
2:50 Loving Don's back story, a warm hearted family man. His hand crushed, his Motorbike stolen, by a hateful, uncaring, all powerful supervillain.
I would have loved to have seen that in Captain Marvel 1... She could have been the next Thanos...
Tony stark remark was just a cherry on the cake it was perfect with the history of iron man and marvel
The story of The Don. Top tier EFAP lore.
The writers keep saying, wouldn’t it be funny if we…. But it’s not humorous
People seem to be forgetting that She-hulk and Quantumania didn't do well either.
I think they're trying to make her an MCU Superman when a) they don't need one and b) a superhero that can do everything gets boring. As soon as your universe has a superman, every other superhero is irrelevant, and unless your superman is incompetent, they can solve any problem without difficulty because they're practically omnipotent.
Or maybe it's just power creep, where they need the stakes to be higher than ever to seem exciting, which means making characters more and more powerful (and adding more powerful characters) to compensate.
That still shot of Monica @5:17 makes her look like cousin Kyle from South Park 😂
Welcome back. Hope all is good on the home front bud.
“Would you like the ‘I told you so’ now or when you get home?”
Don but not forgotten.
Another great video Robot Head! In my own video I stated that it was mostly Brie Larson that killed Marvel but the awful movies certainly didn’t help the cause!
Condolences on your recent loss but great to have u back and keep up the good work!
Cheers Man 👍
Hey RobotHead. I hope your doing ok.
Good to have you back
6:38 "Lowest MCU opening of all time... Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave!"
The story of the MCU in a nutshell. Editing perfection.
Fun fact, I just saw the first Captain marvel movie on tv 2 weeks ago in a hotel. They took the Don scene out completely.
He gets off his bike, walks into the store.
Then cuts to captain marvel driving away on his motorcycle.
Its now a deleted scene. Hahhaha
They were jumping rope on a spaceshit???? Oh Lord, I'm so glad I never went to see this. I would have walked out.
Who would have thought making the same movie over and over again would eventually get old?
