2023 feels like a distant memory in some ways. It was the year of the Barbenheimer phenomenon, the final season of Succession , and critically acclaimed music from Lana Del Rey and Olivia Rodrigo. Despite only two years passing, it feels like a long time ago, especially regarding superhero movies.

    The Eternals was the only marvel movie I straight up stopped watching, about 40 or so min in. I haven’t seen the Marvels but not sure how it could be worse

      Eternal was a bit of a slog but I ended up happy I watched it, connected to the characters, and willing to see a sequel.

      Marvels was entertaining at times but an unmemorable movie that I was mainly happy to not pay theater prices for

      A lot of it was the characters.

      • Kamala was a fantastic character in Ms Marvel and the highlight of this movie as far as it goes but somewhat a dead end for her. Bummer.
      • Monica still isn’t developed as a character. I want to like her but she’s still a nothing that barely makes sidekick material
      • I’ve never liked the Carol character in Marvel. I don’t know if it’s poor writing or disconnected acting but definitely the weak part

        It doesn’t help that Carol is pure Mary Sue and therefore boring. Kamala is why I expect Marvel’s to be better than Eternals
