Every “Historically beloved series, but cynical or inverted” has already been done - and been done better - by The Venture Brothers.

After the disappointment of GOTG2 (yes, I know I’m alone in this) my hopes weren’t very high and this trailer didn’t do much to change that, but I’ve got to see Adam Warlock realized finally.

Yeah, that’s what I’d do.  Not like MCU needs him.

It’d be hilarious if Skaar never reappears.

Yeah, seriously, WTF? 

Or, maybe, you could have some bloody patience, and enjoy the fact that this production isn’t racing through the world-building and character building. 

I think this is a slightly unfair take. It’s a pretty standard tv pathway for long form storytelling; and if we’re getting 80 episodes of this, it’s going to be one amazing long slow-burn epic journey to get there.

It did.

Um, hello? WILLOW?

Why?

Is Marvel perfect? No. Is it cohesive? Well, it’s all in one universe, so pretty much. But to say it’s all the same and there’s no real distinction between MCU movies is disingenuous. Shang-Chi was totally different from anything the MCU had done to that point. On the other hand, Black Widow was a standard action…

…the 4th film (which was fine and often even fun…

I’m still refusing the acknowledge that the Crystal Skull even existed or was canon.

You’re right, it’s a mixture of both. However, I think the parody elements do tend to work better than the satirical ones, and I think pessimistic critics (like the writer who reviewed this season for io9) read the whole show as a straight satire. I mean if you take something like Airplane! as a satire, you’re going…

I think people conflate “satire” and “parody” a lot. The Boys works much better as a parody of superheroes, mass media, corporations, and pop culture than a satire.

I’m curious to know why you consider The Boys explicitly satire and “never/rarely” parody. I think its nature as an open-ended serialized story naturally lends itself to mixing both. I mean things like “Dawn of the Seven” seems like a pretty clear parody of Batman v Superman/Justice League. That’s just one example…

I swear to Christ, the next mother fucker to call this a Marvel movie...

Sony. It’s Sony, they own the film rights to a reported 900+ characters connected to/associated with Spider-Man. That “In Association With Marvel” tag they put on them is a legal obligation, no one from Marvel had anything to with this pile or any…

A weird part of me sort of loves that Sony is like, hey, we have the rights to the spiderman stuff, and there is nothing you can do to make us stop making absolutely garbage movies out of it.

that’s fine, just release the original theatrical versions

It seems that every 5 years, George has a different story on what he really wanted. What he wanted to be the complete story. What he imagined. What he ate. Why he doesn't poop....
