This is the capeshit film thread
Discuss capeshit
I'll admit I hate Marvel films, first off they're some of the glowies films out there, every single one fellates the Pentagon. The plots are almost all identical, filled with general pro-porky propaganda. The jokes are overdone and stale, literally Adam Sandler humor. The CIA is shit for such expensive productions. The characters are getting stale. Fuck these movies, death of cinema shit piles.

but i assume you reactionaries are aesthetic mongers that aren't even communists
not my problem if you piss yourself over, women and gay people
>>27820People getting the powers of Thor when they pick up the hammer due to being worthy was always a thing.
>>10108>>10109Isn't Favreau a producer on the MCU movies? It probably was him lol.
>>27884Yeah, Beta Ray Bill comes to mind, There are so many
Even in the MCU, it's already been lifted by Vision, Cap and the legendary coat rack
Wasn't Fear Itself a storyline where everyone gets hammers, like even Deadpool
>>27896>>27897>calling someone a fascist for liking a movie you don't like>muh reddit spacing>using fallacies and then calling out fallaciesVery clear you're a pseud and only interested in wokescolding, and shitflinging.
enjoy your aesthetic politics phase
reminder to the readlets
FASCISM is when the ruling class, industries unites with right-wingers to go mask off in their exploitation of people, and use violence against leftists because of a threat of popular communist/leftist movement
It is not in fact when a comic book movie shows two gay rocks holding hands over lava to make a baby.
I can't wait for Thor 5 to be a roadtrip movie, with Hercules
>>27901>muh reddit spacingYes, it's shit formatting and a waste of space.
>using fallacies Nope
>calling someone a fascist for liking a movie you don't like No, you got called fascist for skirting around and trying to defend blatant liberalism and its propaganda. Just because its "gay" or some other color of idpol doesn't make it excluded from being propaganda.
>Very clear you're a pseud and only interested in wokescolding, and shitflinging. Nice liberal buzzphrases to try and deflect from the point. Just one problem, you're replying to at least 2 different people.
>enjoy your aesthetic politics phase <ReadletsYeah go back or lurk more, liberalism is cancer and you're blatantly obvious. Either that or you're a massive theorylet.
>fascism is [proceeds to cut out important parts of fascism and insert 'le repression of leftists'] <ignores the key part about class collaborationism<ignores the part that it is about reactionaries, not necessarily right-wingers<ignores that liberals are not leftistNo, read Lenin for starters and then move on to some other literature about fascism.
>It is not in fact when a comic book movie shows two gay rocks holding hands over lava to make a baby <Reeee muh LGBT CAN'T BE USED AS A PORKY CUDGEL! Idpol is cancer, take it back to your shithole.
>I can't wait for Thor 5 to be a roadtrip movie, with Hercules Random as fuck but Ok. I'd be fine with that, and I liked Thor Ragnarok and the original Thor, even though its capeshit, because it's enjoyably fun for the most part.
>>27909>strawman No fucktard, I can still enjoy Lethal Weapon and understand the police are not those kinds of heroes IRL for the majority. I can still enjoy a fantasy fiction and understand that the concept of monarchism is not really as noble as the tales. These are all things for the sake of art and fun. I've berated people on leftypol for trying to claim that politics are all there is to culture and media consumption.
HOWEVER
This does not exclude the concept of pushing ideology be it openly reactionary (nazi-type shit) or the hidden reactionary (liberalism) being pushed as propaganda in Hollywood, if you don't believe that, then read more, read The CIA in Hollywood, read up about the Red Scare films and read about the fascistic ideology pushed by liberal films like Captain Marvel and Black Panther.
Pop-culture trash enjoyment is one thing, uncritically denying blatant liberalism is another.

>>13010 >>32308The actor who played Namor was great, indeed, but
>they were so respectful to indigenous latin cultureThey literally made a war between an african country and an indigenous tribe and painted them as savages who had to be dealt with kid's gloves for 90% of the film until they finally engage in battle (because the indigenous are too savage for reason) and make the indigenous surrender and retreat back into their cave to proceed planning their malicious deeds. Not based imo.
>>23927Fuck Razorfist. He's a complete retard and a poser. And a typical reactionary burger retard.
I swear what the hell is it about Arizona that somehow creates people like him?
>>35647>another American teen High School dramaJust what we all wanted. I'd rather have another series of The Boys, tbh
>>35646>Is the age of capeshit coming to an end?Capeshit as we know it, yes. Sony shit the bed years ago with Xmen Dark Phoenix, Marvel has kind of just been treading water since Endgame, and DC couldn't pull off a hit if their lives depended on it.
In a broader sense though, I think that films have got as big as they're going to get now. I very much doubt any film will make more than Endgame or Avatar 2, and even if Avatar 3 squeaks past the old record, they're not going to be able to sustain that level of growth for all 6 sequels. The last 20 or so years will probably be remembered as the most extravagant in the history of the medium in terms of budgets and scope (thinking about the MCU), and I believe it's only downhill from here, at least in terms of scale.
Oh also, remember the Dark universe? fucking lol
>>22067>>22068Super is weirdly apocryphal the main character is literally a chinletjak. Its the most realisitic super hero movie imho since its just a schizo christofascist who doles out unnecessary violence on lumpenproles until the end where they face off with actual organized criminals and
sidekick literally gets there head blowed off. I didn't like the ending at all and thought it was a forced happy ending. Its a weird ass movie but viewing as a satire on /pol/yp LARPers is pretty funny
>>39535Funniest part is that most of the men are still muscular.
Also inb4 "Muh mutants and Rogue were meant to represent the gay struggle"
Stan Lee literally created the idea of Mutants because he was tired of creating hundreds of backstories for the superpowers his characters had, so it was just "the X-Gene" and it let him create characters more freely… that's it, that was the entire motivation behind the X-Men. And the idea of alienation and wanting to be accepted by society is a universal concept among all people. The flamboyant designs are also just because it was cool, and literally applies to most superheroes in DC and Marvel that have no relation to the X-Men. If gay people identified with it, then good for them, but it wasn't intended to be specific to any one person or group, and people trying to say that are projecting their own political views onto illustrated power-fantasies for children and teens.
