It's hard not to get the idea that T.H.E. is less the unvarnished genius of genetics he likes to present himself as, and more an obsessive, wealthy asshole whose resources have attracted the unethical scientists he needs to let him play God.

In other words, alien Elon Musk with a genetic engineering kick.
 
That bit when all of the bombs on Counter-Earth started going off made my jaw drop. Like, holy shit, our villain is doing on-screen genocide. Also, loved that there was zero redemption for this dude, just evil through and through.

Probably the best movie of this era of Marvel. Really need more strong films like this one.
 
This movie was great. I mean, it's the best Phase 5 film, practically by default, but even aside from that, it's one of the best films from Marvel post-Endgame.

Star-Lord is one of my favourite characters in the MCU, so I rather liked his portrayal in this film, but even moreso was Gamorra; Zoe Saldana played a really different version of the character, which I think worked well.

It also made the ending with her land a lot stronger, when Stallone told her "Welcome home," while the Ravagers hugged her. For most of the movie, it seems as though the difference between the Gamoras was the fact that "our" Gamora found a family with the Guardians while the "new" Gamora didn't. I think the ending shows that Gamora did get herself a family in this universe, even if it wans't with our band of misfits, which then colours a lot of her earlier interactions a bit differently.

Also, I was really glad her and Peter didn't end up back together, since... Gamora is her own character, not a replacement goldfish. I like that she has come out of the movie having relationships with the characters and the team, but very much her own dynamics and relationships with the characters and team.
 
Just watched the movie yesterday on Disney plus. Not a bad movie, though the comedy is meh, it was still good. It almost got me good when Peter quill almost died at the end. Also, it looks like Peter quill will get his movie, or show, since it the after credits told me he will return. I think he is getting a show though.

It's not as good as GOTG 1 and 2. Even Ant-man 3 is a better film then GOTG Vol 3.

Wow.

I thought GoTG3 was FANTASTIC. Absolutely one of the... if not the... best film Post-Endgame.

Although I also don't think Quantumania was a bad film at all. I thought Ant Man 3 was better than 2, and better than at least a few of the Post-Endgame films. I'd watch Quantumania 1000x before I watch Eternals or Black Widow again (and not even that Black Widow was bad, it was just, meh?)

The problem with Black Widow is the entire cast was acting circles around Scarlett Johansen but she's supposed to be the main character driving the plot.

Ant Man 3 I liked a lot of individual elements of but it just didn't come together.

I don't think it was top tier or anything, but it was enjoyable enough. I don't think the CGI was anywhere near as bad as people harp on. MODOK looked silly, but he's MODOK. He's supposed to be silly.

My only real issue with the movie is just how... overall little of a threat Kang was? I mean I get there's a million Kang variants but for his first real showing as a villain, he wasn't really all that impressive.

The best MCU film post Endgame is Shang-Chi.

I've watched Eternals 50 times, a very good film that is overhated.

The problem with Black Widow, it should've come out, before Avengers Endgame did.

GOTG Vol 3 just isn't as good as GOTG 1 and 2.

Eternals... no. Without a doubt, the worst MCU movie.

SAY THAT TO MY FACE. SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME TO MY FACE.

Seriously, I looooove the Eternals. I don't think I've made any kind of secret about that on this forum, I could gush about that movie for hours. I concede that I think it could have worked better as a TV series than as a film, ince it would have given more time for things to breath... but even so, I really like it. It has faults, sure, but it's ambitious, and it happens to deal with themes that are like crack to me.

...
Oh right, Guardians 3, I like, Star-Lord is fantastic and one of my favourites from the MCU. The one problem I have, really, is everyone treating him punching Thanos as if it was the dumbest and most inconsistent thing he ever did.
Dude whipped out his guns without hesitation when he heard what Ego did to his mom. The only thing weird about Thanos is that he resorted to punching instead of trying to jump shoot Grimmace in the face over it.

You're entitled to your opinion, however incorrect it may be.

That's partly why I despise it so much. It SHOULD be have been awesome.

It. Was not. It was WAY too ambitious for it's own good and it utterly squandered everything it had going for it. It's not like, it's not just... not a good movie. That's one thing. It's not a good movie, that was just such a damn disappointment. Like, Captain Marvel just isn't a good movie. But... I wasn't expecting it to be a good movie, so it's just kind of "meh". It's fine. It exists. (On rewatches, i've determined it's less I don't like the movie I just absolute despise Brie Larson. Literally any other actor and that movie would move a few notches up.)

I think you're vastly overstating how much that plays into GOTG3... it's like... one single line.

Yeah out of universe everyone is dumping on him for it, but that's what people do. In-universe? It's played off quickly as "well, that was dumb". Quill isn't depressed because he punched Thanos, he's depressed because he lost Gamora.

But when it really comes down to it, with the trilogy now completed... GOTG is not Quill's story. It's Rocket's. Quill is the relatable lens we see the story through, but the trilogy belongs to Rocket.

My sense was that Quill blames himself for it, and it's a significant contributor to his depression, but nobody else really holds it over his head. It's like Rocket said of Thor in Endgame: sure he fucked up, but a lot of people fucked up.

Quill's womanizing thing was pointed out by Mantis. He uses woman like lily pads, jumping from one to another. But what he needs is to learn how to swim.

I mean yeah, sure he blames himself for it. I think that's actually quite reasonable... despite it not being inconsistent with how he is, he DID fuck up on like, literally astronomical proportions. That's part of Quill's journey though. He was a certain way, realized that way was kinda terrible, and now isn't a huge fan of the previous guy he was. Stack that onto losing the one person he actually loved, other than his mother? Yeah, I can see that as a pretty reasonable situation to be bummed out.
