-MCU Phase Five Sucks-
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s fifth phase hasn’t been any better than its fourth. In fact, it might be worse despite a winner in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3. I take a look back at the first year of phase five in this compilation video of previous reviews as well as new ones for the second seasons of What If? and Loki.

I almost walked out 6 different times, not even taking into account Rey being a Mary Sue. It was bad enough that it made me stop caring about Star Wars in its entirety. I just can't care anymore, and I don't. Sorry the same thing has happened to you.

    @@nophotos_616not sure how this is relevant other than to show that you’re dc fan. What has dc done right universe wise since they started at MoS. They made the suicide squad, two versions of a the same film (ZSJL and JWJL), Aquaman that only made money because of Jason mamoa hype, Wonder Woman that only made money riding off BvS and its supposed importance to the upcoming justice league films (similar to how they used captain marvel between infinity war and endgame.) BvS got hype because of the story it was adapting but did a poor job with the execution regardless. The only good thing the DCEU made was done by James Gunn in the suicide squad After all of that we see the real outcome of their production in their continued universe in the form of Aquaman 2, WW84 and the flash all continuations essentially for the characters that absolutely BOMBED and rightfully so. The only saving grace for dc is literally taking a director that made the entire successful guardians trilogy and their one side character film aka suicide squad and making him spearhead the entire DCU after not listening to fan backlash or opinions until everything crashed and burned Marvel seems to have become to complacent and thought they had he market so now they can throw in woke media and pull in that audience and somehow not thinking that would alienate the existing audience which as shown was not true they lost damn near everyone pushing out mediocre woke nonsense. DC’s problem was trying to catch marvel up by releasing only MoS then jumping into trio film right after to speed run what marvel did with iron man, Thor, captain America and hulk essentially before doing avengers 1 they rushed to get everyone together and set up the notion that they would do solo films after bringing everyone together either via teases or outright in a team film as shown just thinking mashing this all together would rake in loads of money.

    What they do with Scott in Quantumania is try to use the "Character becomes famous and becomes a jerk" trope. This doesn't work, because Scott isn't being a jerk. After spending three years in jail, and then five years in the Quantum Realm, he wants to be with Cassie. The conflict of Ant-Man 1 was that he needed to prove that he was a good father to Maggie and Paxton, both are inexplicably nowhere to be seen in this movie. Yeah, Scott capitalises on his newfound fame, but it doesn't change his personality. The dinner table scene where everyone gangs up on him is sickening. Hope, Hank and Janet would still be dead alongside the rest of half the universe if Scott hadn't discovered a way to undo Thanos' snap.

    Although I agree, I also disagree at the same time. Instead of having the thought of "waiting for another messed up movie to happen", the only thing I can do is just hear the announcement, don't watch any trailers or read the comments, just wait, and go watch it upon release to see if it's good or bad. As simple as it sounds, I feel like many people on the internet today is on this cesspool to always expect the worst of things everyday, saying things like "it's gonna suck" or "another woke trash", nvm the fact that the movie hasn't came out yet and we don't even know much of it.

    That "girl boss" scene in Endgame was top cringe and so violently shoved in within a fluid fight scene that i immediately went, "Once Endgame is done, im done" Was not gonna NOT watch the movie, since I'd invested 10 yrs of my life since Iron Man was released. But I knew i was done with Marvel because i could see where it was heading. The only Marvel films I've watched since then are Spider Man (which is mostly Sony) and Guardians 3. Both were ok. SpiderMan was mostly nostalgia bait and an extremely silly ending. GotG3 was sort of good but quite frankly, forgettable. And that was the best of the worst phases since Endgame

    That Girl Boss scene was straight up cringe. Capt. Marvel is the most OP of them all, her literal intro to the fight was destroying Thanos' Sanctuary warship. All of the additional female superheroes were useless to the needs of her character in the film, and it stood out from the movie as if it was a literal cringe commercial break for things to come. I'm not even a Capt. Marvel hater, I thought her 'Hello Peter Parker' moment was great, just to segway to that mess. I stopped GotG after 2, had zero interest.

    They messed up with reshoots. The focus of Quantumania became more, "boss babe! even the jaded, obnoxious teenager who magically knows everything - and here she comes to save the day!" Gone are the days of actual badass female characters that fought through the plot to earn their character arc. Now female characters are just awesome from the beginning - which means there's no story in the first place. And the non-stop lecturing, jesus christ. Pretty much the same formula in every movie and online series. I am sure Hollywood - MCU included - will learn from this pathetic virtue signalling jerkfest, pull their heads of their asses and realise that they are the last people on this planet to lecture others about "privilege" /s

They stated they were big fans of the series, and made it a point to "Honest Trailer proof" their script. Something Kevin Feige and Phase 4+ directors had completely abandoned.

    I really wanna give a huge shoutout to Loki S2 for finally abandoning the phase 4 blueprint of "stoic and superior female version is better, so let her hijack the screen time!", actually correcting their course and primarily make the show about the Loki we know and love again AND in the end tying it together with one of the best character development arcs out of any character in the entire MCU. Was it perfect? Hell no, the Kang variant and TVA stuff were all over the place in terms of writing and they didn't didn't seem to know how to use them a lot of times. You mentioned the camerawork and aesthetic of the show and I agree, but I found the soundtrack pretty great as well. Overall it felt like a candle in the dark for the rapidly dying MCU.

    Phase 4 is bad because so many of the "creatives" at Disney are hired based on their skin color and gender alone. Not because they are good writers with actual talent. This is one of the reasons that DEI is stupid and so terrible for everyone. These people graduated and got degrees that were handed to them for the same reason that Disney hired them. They never had to work hard or even learn to understand their craft. They openly admit they don't know how to write spy thrillers, courtroom dramas, superhero action films. They say the most idiotic things all the time! Like asking why superheroes need to battle supervillains. That's insane! Love the channel and hope you keep it up with the stellar content Cynic.

    I want to note on the VFX comment in the Guardians 3 section. (I haven't seen the film yet.) The VFX team certainly had the resources to make it look great - but I don't think that's necessarily unique for the MCU. Every VFX team likely has the technical resources. The problem with recent MCU productions is the sheer amount of changes that happen during the VFX process. One thing that Gunn really shines at as a filmmaker is his insistence to finalize the script before production happens. Guardians 3 was written years before filming began. I'm sure some changes happened, but not near the overhaul that other productions have been cited to have. More than resources, the VFX team on Guardians had TIME and a consistent VISION.

No confrontation with the past of his family, no vulnerabilities, no moments of last resort - just awesome MANLY MAN MANNING ALL OVER THE PLACE from beginning to end. And then he just casually beats Thanos in the first movie too. That's what they gave us with the Phase 5 "boss babe" dumpster fire.

    I really love guardians 3. It may not be the best but it’s refreshing and i love it

    I used to watch everything on the night it released in theaters or Disney + Now I haven’t even seen The Marvels, Echo, and What If season 2 and feel no urgency to watch at all. Hopefully Deadpool and Wolverine is good or I might be done. You break down my feelings on the MCU perfectly.

    I knew Rhodes was a Skrull since he was first shown because his legs haven't worked since civil war. Every scene before Secret Invasion he is either in suit or with machinery on his legs

    Maybe if they didn't race swap and gay swap every character then they wouldn't be going bankrupt

    7:31 I think the line from Gamorah was shrugged off cuz there wasn't enough time to tackle the hypocrisy of that statement as she was just assisting Thanos in the same endeavour not too long ago
