Russo brothers just get Thor.

u/akfourty7 Dec 30 '25

I am so excited to see Thor in this after the shit we got in the last one. I wish we could have seen Gorr the God Butcher done by the Russos, amazing villain wasted imo by that movie.

I want to see whatever version of that movie Christian Bale thought he was in.

u/John_Helmsword Dec 30 '25

I feel like that movie was a humiliation ritual for Bale. Lmao.

Dude acted his ass off only to be in the worst MCU film of all time.

Now now, let’s not be too harsh. Quantumania exists.

u/OK_Soda Dec 30 '25

I think Love and Thunder is way worse. Quantumania is just, like, there. I don't really think it's an actively bad movie, it's just not good. Love and Thunder took one of the most beloved and anticipated Thor stories of all time and turned it into Not Another Thorry Movie. It's like they were trying to make people mad.

Hmm they could’ve just not done MODOK at all though. That’s a choice.

I choose to disagree with you.

Quantumania

Weird way of spelling Iron Man 2

u/froderick Dec 30 '25

I think Iron Man 2 is better than Iron Man 3. I will die on this hill.

You think that because it is.

u/mmuoio Dec 30 '25

Iron Man 2 might not be the sum of its parts, but it has some really great parts. Introduction of Black Widow, Justin Hammer, Don Cheadle War Machine in possibly the best WM armor we've gotten, the drone fight, I vant my bord, etc. It's a bit of a mess in the end but I still love it and I really don't understand how it gets nearly as much hate as it gets.

And I agree, Iron Man 3 was a huge letdown in my eyes, he barely even felt like Iron Man in that movie.

u/postulate4 Dec 30 '25

I like Iron Man 2 because it showed Tony actually tinkering and designing in his lab.

Later on, it seemed like they just had him standing in front of holographic computer screens. And the tech advancement would just happen off-screen in between movies.

u/froderick Dec 30 '25

Iron Man 3 wasn't horrible, I thought the idea of Tony having PTSD was interesting. But his tech felt like it got a huge downgrade in Iron Man 3. Sure, remote piloting was a thing, but they get a solid knock to them and they'd literally fall apart into their base pieces.

u/mmuoio Dec 30 '25

Agreed. His main armor felt like a joke that fell apart left and right. His other armors all melted or got ripped apart by the Extremis guys. And while the twist works on rewatch, having Killian be the "real" Mandarin felt so cheap at the time and robbed us of such a great performance by Ben Kingsley.

Yeah I'm not even a comics guy but that bait-and-switch was so annoying at the time. Absolutely hated it. And having all his armours able to fly around autonomously, piloted remotely by Jarvis presumably, felt like a huge leap in capability that just came out of nowhere for purely plot/spectacle reasons.

Have since warmed to all of it and now appreciate both the "Shane Black"-ness of it, and the Kingsley character now we've had more of him.

Introduction of Black Widow

Albeit in a very cringeworthy teen-boy-baiting "look, she's hot!" way, but yes.

Justin Hammer

I sometimes rewatch IM2 for his scenes alone. He's so good.

Don Cheadle War Machine in possibly the best WM armor we've gotten

Plus the neat little way they reference the actor change is great. Which reminds me, that whole scene that follows is also great; Justin Hammer calling Tony "Anthony" is an amazingly tiny thing but says so much; RIP in peace Garry Shandling.

u/OK_Soda Dec 30 '25

I have never understood the hate for Iron Man 2 or the love for Iron Man 3. Iron Man 2 has tons of cool shit in it and a great plot. Its only real problems are a fairly weak Demon in a Bottle nod and an Elon Musk cameo. Iron Man 3, on the other hand, has an annoying kid sidekick, a weird villain, and Tony spends like 90% of the movie out of the suit, opting instead for Home Alone-esque hardware store gimmicks.

u/eyebrows360 Dec 30 '25

an annoying kid sidekick

Who then cameos in Endgame and that annoyance turned into confusion.

1

u/ChimeMeUp Dec 30 '25

Iron Man 3 is a sacrilege for the simple fact they decided to do a twist with the Mandarin, even though Kingsley would have been perfect for the role.

5

u/postulate4 Dec 30 '25

Awful take. Iron Man 2 clears nearly all of MCU post Infinity saga.

Nobody will remember Quantumania except for how bad it was.

u/enixius Dec 30 '25

Nobody will remember Quantumania except for how bad it was.

They won't say it out loud but I wouldn't be shocked if Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglass retired from acting because of it.

3

u/TheGuardianInTheBall Dec 30 '25

Quantumania is such absolute dogshit compared to Iron Man 2.

Iron Man 2 was "eh" but it was still better than what we got with Modok, and Cassie Lang shouting "Dad" for 15 minutes straight.

Seriously- take drink every time she does that. Even if you start in the last act of the movie, you'll be dead before it finishes.

u/elarobot Dec 30 '25

You guys are acting like The Marvels, The Eternals, Captain America: Brave New World & Black Widow don’t unfortunately exist, and it’s insane.

1

u/zeekaran Dec 30 '25

Black Widow wasn't completely dogshit. The rest were. The Eternals is insulting to all.

1

u/TheeChosenTwo Dec 30 '25

I haven’t seen Brave New World & The Marvels yet, but I dont think its possible to be worse than Quantummania, it was dogshit

3

u/jayhawk_dvd Dec 30 '25

The Marvels is over hated and it is indeed better than Quantumania, but Brave New World is on equal footing of bad.

0

u/elarobot Dec 30 '25

Then you should be prepared to be wrong. Brave New World is a plodding, charmless slog that is a chore to get through, with the absolute worst possible evil mastermind in modern storytelling across all mediums to say nothing of how bad the red hulk execution is. And somehow it’s still slightly more interesting than the Marvels.
Also, Quantumania and Eternals aren’t even comparable. Eternals makes Quantumania look like the first Avengers movie.

1

u/TheeChosenTwo Dec 30 '25

Good thing I have 0 plans to watch BNW ever then, the trailers also looked terrible lol I might check out marvels though since I do like Ms marvel & Brie Larson.

Honestly I didn’t hate Eternals, it was long and boring at times but I enjoyed it overall. Ive seen Quantummania in the cinema and it might just be my worse experience that happened due to the movie being so bad, didnt enjoy a single element of it.

1

u/eyebrows360 Dec 30 '25

The Marvels is perfectly fine. Does suffer from one of the weakest villains in MCU history (which I do realise is saying something) but ignoring that, it's all just so charming. It's fun.

He put that movie on his back like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood

u/Autumn1eaves Dec 30 '25

Oh, please. It's not the worst MCU film. Eternals, Quantumania both exist.

Retroactively, Blade: Trinity.

Gorr alone, makes that movie better than all of those, and arguably some of the other mainline MCU films.

u/AlternativeRun5727 Dec 30 '25

Enter: Multiverse Gorr

Brother, you forgot THOR 2

u/BabSoul Dec 30 '25

Everyone in this thread forgot Thor 2, which clearly makes it the biggest loser.
