No wait actually a minute ago I just threw this into my queue with no tags or comments because yeah it be like that

but y’know what? it wasn’t like that. From IM1 to… oh… 2015-ish? if you were an mcu fan, you were there because the movies were actually (mostly) fun. there might have been characters you weren’t so into, and everyone had some parts of the movies they loved to complain about and things they would have changed, but compared to the comics themselves MCU was a fuckin wild dream of actually enjoyable content

and between then and now it has completely reversed to where it is a goddamn horrible, unfun mess overall with a few good moments like coins in a pile of crap—like, yeah, they’re nice moments, but you start wondering whether it’s worth getting covered in crap to go fishing for them. 

it’s just amazing to me that marvel took something that successfully built them an empire and turned it into something that most fans don’t even enjoy anymore, so much that a post like this can go around and we all just nod and go “yeah it be like that” without a moment’s hesitation.

If you dont hate the mcu are you really an mcu fan

#it’s because they made it very clear that they weren’t going to pursue the emotional throughlines#all of them - romantic or platonic#we stopped getting actual character interactions and no one built on the relationships they’d started in previous movies#it’s because they stopped writing stories driven by the characters themselves#and just used the characters as chess pieces#move character A to point X where he says a witty one-liner we can use in the trailer#introduce character B out of nowhere for the shock value and also because he’s got a movie coming out in 2 years we need to tie this into#shoehorn a new love interest in but don’t bother giving it support since we already know it won’t matter in the sequel#some exec decided that the only thing needed to tie the franchise together was putting the characters in the same shot#but because the characters’ backstories and personalities are less important than using them as superpower-related chess pieces#they start to feel interchangeable#oh sure there are fun scenes where someone’s ability gives a cool looking visual#but ask yourself if it would actually matter to the story if they had replaced character A with character B#would that have changed how events went down or would it have had the same effect but with a different power - smashing vs lightning#chess pieces#they forgot - or rather decided it wasn’t important - to make us care about the characters anymore#probably because they thought the previous movies had already done that work#but when you don’t follow through on what came before#when the relationships that have been built are ignored in favor of bigger explosions or plot twists#then you lose all that work you put in before#and you lose your viewers#and all you’re left with is lifeless husks in spandex being smart asses to their allies#ugh. apparently i have feelings about this.
