      I was dragged to see this and was extremely confused because the last marvel film I saw was Revenge of Ultron

        I watched it high as fuck and I was so confused. I assumed I was just way too high so I watched it sober and nope it’s just a jumbled mess.

      This film was referencing it’s own world too much it felt like sitting with a self-absorbed prick for a more than a couple of beers!

    Spiderman no way home. Everyone was raving about it, when I finally got around to watching it, it turned out to be high-budget fanfiction.

      Aren’t all adaptations “high-budget fanfiction” though? Like, what about the film makes it more fanfictiony compared to other comic or book adaptations?

        sure, but it was fanfiction in the sense that the whole story is centered around fan service. It was mostly “hey, that character you like is back!” and “oh my god, the villain people like made an appearance for 3 minutes!”. It didn’t feel like its own movie, just a collection of “give the fans what they want” scenes.

    Wonder Woman. Every trite moral lesson from all 7 seasons of Star Trek: TNG crammed into one movie.

    Fellowship of the Ring

    To clarify. I love the movie, but I also can’t escape the fact that like 90% of it became memed like crazy.

    Seems like pretty much any marvel slop past the first few decent movies is just 90 minutes of “OMFG REFERENCE?! KIND SIR I WISH I COULD UPDOOT THIS MOVIE TWICE!!!” lol
