I still believe that half this swell is artificial, supported by an entire greedy industry that is blatantly price-gouging. Yes there's a real boom, but just like egg producers who artificially inflated their prices during the egg crisis well beyond the new stress point, the same thing is happening here. We're all being fucked and swindled at every possible opportunity.
The first of the Holland Spider-Man films, Homecoming, is excellent. The only reason I didn't recommend the Spider-Man series to you is because I think the second and third entries are a little shakier, and as a comics fan a bit "more Holland than Peter" to me, but this most recent fourth entry in the series is just as excellent as the first. So if you like the character already, check 'em out.
I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't work for Marvel Studios marketing department so I don't really feel much incentive to sell you. I got no vested interest here, I just thought it was odd that the dude could acknowledge THING could and has been great in the past but while thinking THING couldn't be great again despite the prior acknowledgement. That's all.
That said, I am a comic book diehard and I am also still very onboard with the MCU. I'd say the new Spider-Man is one of my favorite films in the greater universe.... but it's also absolutely not a film you should go into blind. It requires at least having seen the previous Tom Holland Spider-Man films, bare minimum.
But if you're at all interested in the MCU and haven't dipped your toe in yet, my recommendation is simple: Watch Guardians of the Galaxy vol.1-3. These are, imo, the peak of the MCU (GOTG vol.2 is one of my favorite movies of all-time, in fact) and they're also in some ways the most self-contained, so they don't rely on a lot of connective tissue for their impact.
Yes, because the entire category is a myth
I know this is a meme, but for the record math is one of the things LLMs are famously worst at
Comics have always waxed and waned. Some of the great storylines in comics happen between some of the worst. Imo it makes sense that the films following this model could do the same, and writing all of the off forever because you haven't been 100% satisfied every time seems silly.
It's okay to not like the MCU, and it's okay to be done with it. But you seem to be suggesting that the MCU was once good in your eyes - why do you think that somebody that has been proven to you to be good once is not capable of being good again?
This. If you want to collect analytics for in house decision making, merchandising, whatever, I say go for. But as soon as you start selling that data or the conclusions thereof, it becomes a currency, and if I'm paying that currency you better not be asking me for another.
Google wants to get paid thrice for YouTube. That's not okay.
I'll consider allowing ads when they stop harvesting and selling data - until then, that data is my payment.
They don't get to show ads, sell our data, and charge a subscription. I'm tired of paying twice for shit.

I think Jackman Wolverine is a very strong casting choice as evidenced by his success.
But I think Simmons as J. Jonah is one in a lifetime, peak casting.
Other people could play a comparably great Wolverine; I don't think anyone is ever gonna top Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson
