I disagree. There’s very funny people in the cast. But it’s too big and their excellence gets watered down by the mediocre SNLers. I’d cut the cast way down. Sarah Sherman is great. She’s a star. I’d also keep Heidi, Ego, Bowen, Troast and James Austin Johnson. I see something in Marcello, so maybe him. The rest…

Why should Taylor be sued? The venue did it, not her. I would wager that once she gets a full picture of what happened she’ll inform said venue that she will never be performing at one of their venues again.

All these nerds talking about how Aquaman is DC not Marvel, but no nerds questioning why all those men in the Roman Legion had beards.

Antisemite and Republican Musk is a hypocrite when it comes to free speech. He bans everyone he doesn’t like. While he is busy suing Media Matters his platform is disintegrating around him. Amen. 🤣

“Bullied” is a really weird word choice in this context...

The movie belongs in the public domain.

I suppose that this is a slightly better fate than being chained to a rock with a serpent dripping venom onto your face forever?

Welcome to the Punxsutawney Pub, Loki.

You’re in good company here.

Ultron is just awful. They waste what could have been a phase villain, they reduce Black Widow to Hulk’s love interest (however, I do not get how many people misunderstood the line about her being a monster and not being able to have children as being the same thing), they wasted James Spader, they killed Quicksilver…

Agreed. I think Ultron is a much more enjoyable rewatch than the original Avengers, even if there was less “Marvel bloat” in the original.

The boat scene between Thor & Loki is a top 3 favorite MCU scene of mine. Legitimately. “Hemsworth’s first great bit of acting in the franchise is how much sorrow and hurt he put into “I wish I could trust you.”

So basically, how can we dunk on recent Marvel movies today?

This movie is fun and zippy, it was a comedy Thor movie before Ragnarok (nowhere near as good but it’s still jokey) “How’s space?” “Space is fine.”

That’s a shame, but given what is left in, I have to wonder what he was doing in those other scenes. Did he do different line readings, one with emotion and one completely flat for every delivery? Given that what IS left in is so monotone, it’d be jarring if he had parts where he’s actually showing any kind of…

I’d like to see Hiddleston’s Loki meet up with Morpheus/Sandman.  The interaction would be a lot different than what was in the graphic novels, simply because Hiddleston’s Loki doesn’t have to be the Joker-esque version that they had there.

So, what we’re learning here is that the true heroes of the MCU, Sarah Halley Finn and the casting department, remained stellar. As disappointing as The Dark World was, the casting allowed for the movie to survive based on the quality of the performances.

I have to agree that maybe Marvel should’ve led with this “moment that CHANGES EVERYTHING” hype if they had something up their sleeves here. But Valkyrie showing up is a welcome surprise, at least. 

I’d show up regardless of whether the Avengers showed up. This is MY Barbenheimer.

One of the funniest lines ever:
