Wait why was the gauntlet going to the van again lol. Someone still had to do something. Scott takes them back? Lol. And it was Capt marvel taking so WTH lol
@@cmasterson original 'plan' was to use the quantum tunnel in the van to time trave the stones by hand. since, useing the gauntlet for anything would likely kill anyone else. even the hulk. no idea about captain marvel, seemed liek she was doing ok against thanos till he punched her in the face with the strength stone.
I've been watching this entire series the last couple of days and I just realized halfway through this last video that it was made by a channel with less than 10k subs and I just couldn't believe it. The amount of work and passion put in this videos is insane, amazing job.
He earned another one when I sat and watched these and realized how much work and how many years of dedicated care went into this He put effort into it and I respect the hell out that
I watched ALL of this over the course of a few days. I just wanna say that as someone who adores the Marvel Cinematic Universe but was unfortunately living under a rock until 2018 when I started getting into them. I never got to experience the absolute hype train leading up to the avengers, the suspicion that iron man isn’t gonna be good, the bombshell reveal that Bucky is the winter solider, the surprise at how good guardians of the galaxy was, the suspense leading up until infinity war and the tears shed during endgame. I just had no idea. But you have done an outstanding job re-capturing the long journey of the complete M C U and how it evolved over the years. Your immense research is prevalent and it’s clear how passionate you are towards these films as well. Thank you “I love you 3000”
I'm in the same boat as you. I didn't know these movies were connected until BP. It was pretty shocking realizing that BP was somehow related to Avengers, Gotg, Antman?, and Dr Strange???? Binged watched every movie right before Infinity War.
Yeah same here. Seen all in the Theater back in the day. But i wasnt a comicbooknerd and just enjoyed good movies with weird new characters. His analysis of how hardcorefans and nerds received trailers and speculated about plots was so epic and is like a additional plotline for someone who wasnt „in the loop“ during that time
As someone who was very much a superhero nerd and in my early 20s when the first Iron Man came out, I can attest that it's hard to watch stuff like this and not get emotional. Thor was always my favorite hero and they stumbled with him out the gate but stuck the landing in Endgame so hard. It was amazing.
i was sadly born in 2010 so idk if i’m a memer or an ipad kid, but when infinity war came out i was about 8, so i kinda missed all the hype. crazy how all this is still happening and older than like over half of its audience.
That "Avengers!.... Assemble." Will forever give me chills. Every. Single. time. Kevin has some SERIOUS work ahead of him to try and top Infinity Wars/Endgame with the new Avengers movies.
He can't IMHO. All the big boys are gone with only really b/c heroes left. Nothing has grabbed me since Endgame, none. All the superheroes are bland with no standout within them.
That’s part of the problem, you can’t top it. Yet they keep trying to every movie. There’s a reason that scene as well as cap wielding mjolnir and Tony’s sacrifice hit as hard as they do, they were earned. We built these characters for years and when the moment finally happens it feels earned. Now the moments just feel forced because that’s exactly what they are
It’s not even that he can’t top it it’s just y’all have expectations that too high and seem to forget it took 10/11 years of world building before we got to that point
a lot of people are saying it can't be done or expectations are too high but, yeah no. It's the same tired and trite old "superhero fatigue" argument that's been disproven over, and over, and over again. "super hero fatigue" : supposedly exists Spiderverse 1 & 2 & soon to be 3 : exists Spiderman No Way Home : exists "multiverse fatigue" : supposedly exists see : previous "star wars fatigue" : supposedly exists Andor : exists the reality is people don't like shit movies or shows. I never watched the first Captain America, and haven't rewatched any MCU films I can think of. A few months ago I did watch the first Captain America, and it was fucking amazing. Just yesterday I rewatched Civil War, and it was fucking amazing. What people want is good stories, interesting concepts, intriguing characters, etc. Yes, MCU has burned it's good will with many, many, many people, particularly many critics (actual critics, like the kind that make mult-hour full breakdowns of shit to explain why it doesn't work/does work, not the people who give a number and cash a check) but as Andor proved; that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how "burnt out" people are with a concept, if you write something good it's still fucking good. And if you write something bad it's still fucking bad. People aren't "burnt out" on the MCU, they're "burnt out" on shit MCU. People aren't going to buy a multi-billion dollar drilling rig just to deepen the grand canyon so they can lower their expectations enough to enjoy She-Hulk. Just do your fucking job and write something that doesn't require people to lower their standards.
Who would sit and watch all four parts of this retrospective????? Me. I would. And I would absolutely love another part covering the rest of phase four. This series was delightful, thanks man!!
His presentation that always makes him sound excited, and how he also points out a lot of the good stuff makes me want to get back into Marvel. Hell I might watch some of the movies I’ve still not seen, and just ignore what everyone else is saying.
Watching endgame in theaters was the most unique experience. It was the first time I felt that movie watching was communal. Everyone was cheering and laughing at the same parts. It felt more like live theater honestly.
These videos just randomly ended up in my recommended videos yesterday and I've watched all 4 already. Just gotta say, great work on all of these. This was a real treat to watch.
Thanks for making this Prime, you're totally right, I completely forgot how it felt to watch these movies for the first time and the marvel hype over the years. Amazing retrospective
The two end credit scenes in Ant-Man and The Wasp gave me such chills when I first saw them. After such a light-hearted movie, it was so hauntingly jarring in the best possible ways
I searched "MCU retrospective" just looking for something to hype me up before seeing Eternals and this is exactly what I was looking for very well made series, I had a lot of fun going down memory lane to where this all started and all the epic moments along the way
Watching this retrospective has helped me understand something. Marvel will never be the same as it was up to Endgame. Change isn't always bad, but the hype that Kevin Feige was able to create is something that will never be replicated to the same extent.
@@Casey_Jomeschange is bad in this case lmao considering what they’ve done everything so far. Also, Kevin fiege was kept in check by the dude who got fired accusations. Kevin is a hack, people give him wayy to much credit.
this retrospective made me remember what made these movies so special to witness. it's inspired me to rewatch the entire franchise in chronological order
I'm not gonna lie this retrospective got me emotional at some parts. I feel like marvel has been such a huge part of a lot of people's lives and it's nice to go back and look at the journey.
When the little girl asks for cheeseburgers at the end I f****** lose it every time... That's Is a very meta reference to how Robert Downey Jr. Got off drugs. It was such a mature omage Delivered from the most innocent place.. a thank you to Robert from the whole franchise.
"a small vocal majority" didn't dislike Captain Marvel because a woman was on the cover: they disliked it because the movie tried to artificially create a deus ex machina for endgame, spearheaded by an actor who made her low and distasteful opinions of Marvel fans very clear, all done whilst essentially making the entire MCU about a character who in-universe (on-screen) had never been mentioned or even alluded to "for girl power points". This said, thank you for making these videos. Very informative content.
I've enjoyed the series so far, but honestly the dismissive side swipes at people who didn't like certain movies is a bit...unnecessary - as if the ONLY reason to not like captain marvel was "me man, me see woman, me no like woman"...kind of excessive
I think the problem is that this video was made before the second half of phase four. Thor 4, Moon Knight, hawkeye, she-hulk, etc. are not included and I feel like those properties have really degraded the quality of marvel as a brand. I was still optimistic about phase four after watching a show like Loki. After shit like she-hulk and black widow, I am starting to doubt their ability to create anything interesting after endgame.
@@NamaJeff This is true. Wandavision, Loki and Hawkeye were flawed but not bad. They were acceptable. Like Thor 2. They didn't destroy our trust in the MCU like what followed
@@greendaleforever , and the part that really made me mad was when he said fans didn't like it "because there is a woman on the poster." That is complete BS. In the previous parts he mentioned how when Black Widow was introduced the fans were already asking for a solo movie, and how everyone loved Wonder Woman. These two things can't exist at the same time. The entire argument is a straw man fallacy.
It's a decent movie. Good action and twists. Not top tier MCU but just below that. It just became trendy for Incels to hate on it (like the non smiling criticism he pointed out). They basically didn't like what she said so used that to beat down on the movie. Was embarrassing really.
@@Alexroux78 , amazing character? In the movie she doesn't have any internal struggle or flaws... a Mary Sue. Instead of the hero's journey it is reduced to "I was always awesome, it's just other people were holding me back." That is a terrible narrative structure that doesn't allow for the character to grow and develop, and is a large reason why the character didn't emotionally resonate with audiences. It also doesn't leave much room for the villain if they are not a massive threat that requires growth to defeat. Compare this to how they handled Captain America, another Mary Sue. Instead of having another character use exposition to let the audience know how great a person he was (like they did in Captain Marvel), they used the grenade scene to show qualities like self sacrifice and bravery. Show don't tell is the big rule you have to follow, and SHOWING likable qualities can get the audience to root for the hero. And while the story doesn't leave much room for the villain, going with the over the top Nazi Red Skull with perfect casting is about as good as you can get with a one dimensional villain like that. What is likable about Captain Marvel? What reason other than being the hero gets the audience on her side? All of it is surface level without substance, and I just can't get emotionally invested in a character and their story without that reason. I also don't think it was the best casting choice; sure she's won an academy award but you can't see the acting chops she has in this film AT ALL. Some of that is due to the writing... they didn't give her much to work with especially with dialogue. To me, it just seemed like a bad fit for the role and a script that lacked substance, combined with a narrative structure that doesn't do any favors.
"except those who didn't like a woman on the poster" This is where you lost me. I am a woman, I hated the film. It was a bad film why is it so hard to admit? Doesn't matter woman or not. I loved first Wonder Woman. Because unlike Cpt Marvel, she wasn't acting like an entitled obnoxious plank of wood.
I think he was just afraid to criticize the movie. Not really sure though maybe he got caught up in the backlash against Brie that he feels he needs to defend her. Either way, I'm glad I skipped Captain Marvel.
All of these videos are great. Only thing I will say is Captain Marvel did not get negative reviews because she’s a woman. The movie got it because it genuinely was not that great. She was way overpowered and barely had any difficult conflict. The final fight ended before it started.
It's actually insane that just bc their is a female lead, u assume that the low score is because of sexist ideas when in reality it had bad writing for captain marvel and not much for stakes, a long with other issues
yea that was dumb of this guy to presume. Also...no way Black Panther deserved best film award nomination, which he should have made clear too lool. Politically correct I guess
I don't think people review bombed Captain Marvel cause the lead was a woman, those same people loved the first Wonderwoman, they review bombed Captain Marvel because the marketing and comments by Brie Larson around the movie (before and after) made it clear that you were "supposed" to like it because it was a woman and if you didn't it meant you were sexist...regardless of actual ligitimate complaints or critizism of the plot, script, acting or set-pieces of the movie. Don't get me wrong it's a perfectly decent movie, but Carol Danvers doesn't really have any kind of character arc, she's just kind of perfect from the get go (and arrogantly so) and she doesn't have to learn humility or any other kind of self improvement, she just has to realize that she really is the best and it's the Kri that's been holding her back. We like arrogant marvel characters sometimes (Tony Stark, Dr Strange because they have to learn to overcome their flaws and grow into more well balanced individuals (literally the whole point of their two origin stories). In Captain Marvel we're told that no she doesn't have to grow, the rest of the world just needs to accept that she really is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
But... but... that is the point of the movie? She is perfect, but she's been held down by... Kri, men, society, whatever, telling her she isn't good enough to the point where she almost stopped trying. But she broke free, realized she is good enough, perfect even the way she is. As a person who endured pretty serious bullying in young age, this movie resonated with me intensely. My wife also loved it, same as a lot of women and people who went thru hardships and were told they aren't good enough. It may not resonate with everyone, but it did for me and a lot of other people. And saying there isn't a character growth... I don't know, did we watched the same movie?
@@printaboy The issue is a perfect character cannot grow. By saying that its the world around that is problem means that her actions are never critzied. No-one is flawless. No-one. In the movie Captain Marvel is somewhat aggressive, she's somewhat dismissive, she has an aura that other characters, tony stark and stephen strange, were told to humble themselves. There's nothing wrong with a story that is about gaining self-confidence and I'm glad to hear this movie worked for you and friends. But nobody's perfect and we wished that the movie acknowledge that.
@@sentorus67 , on top of it, she's a Superman like character that has an insane power level. If the villain isn't an actual threat, you'd better have a DAMN good internal struggle to make it work. Instead you get... nothing. Sure, she does good in drama films, but this doesn't suit her, especially the comedy. So the wrong casting choice with a script that gives the actor nothing to work with on top of a narrative structure that doesn't allow for growth.
Some people give so much flack to Fat Thor and how his friends treated him. They turned his PTSD into comedy, but coming from someone who has been to those same depths I can tell u that when ur that low, in that much pain comedy and self medication maybe the only thing that keeps u going. U either laugh or u cry, and "men" don't cry, and ur best friends are always assholes! That maybe the most genuine portrayal in the whole MCU. I can truthfully say Chris Hemsworth portrayal helped me get through some dark times because of it brutal, funny, but above all genuine portrayal.
This was incredible, absolutely deserves more views you knocked it out of the park Prime. I’ve been watching this series across the last 3-4 days and you’ve kept it so engaging with your commentary, I absolutely love that you narrated with the mindset of the audience at the time of each movie, where you speculated what could happen in each movie. And I thought back even before you mentioned it in the last video about where I was when the Infinity War trailer dropped. I remember so clearly exactly where I was at my community college when it came out, I don’t know if any franchise will ever reach the peaks of the MCU at its best. I can’t see any group at least in this generation rallying around a film franchise as much as people have with this. For me EndGame was the perfect conclusion and I haven’t followed the series nearly as closely as I used to. It was perfect, I cried quite a bit at the end of that movie and it closed a door for me.
I just realized when Black Panther says "Clint, give it to me" it's a callback to Civil War when Clint introduced himself and Black Panther said "I don't care".
I love the series but 1 thing I don’t like about the series is calling the people who don’t like some movies sexist or things like that. For example Captain Marvel had a mix reception and saying that the people who didnt like the movie sexist was kinda douchy.
He didn’t say that everyone who disliked it was sexist. He said there were some people that made reductionist judgements because they let sexist biases influence their judgement of the movie.
@Darkstar-se6wc Ah bless. Scared of strong female characters? Ah bless. What's happened with the MCU isn't because of some female characters- it's been because of poor writing and way too much MCU leading to many falling behind and giving up.
36:18 no, it showed Hulk but in the movie it was Hulkbuster which ended up pissing a LOT of people off. Really angered us seeing as how we all felt deceived especially with Endgame
While I do love this series, I just have to disagree with your point on Captain Marvel being hated for "a woman bring on the cover". I thought Danvers was a pretty boring, generic character compared to the likes of the original six avengers. Plus, the overall story was pretty bland. Still, I think you need more subs, putting this much work into a series like this.
Same. While I can appreciate the relentless positivity and joy he gets from watching these movies, it's silly to reduce criticism to sexism or racism. Feel free to like that movie, and I'll feel free to strongly disagree, all while not hating women :)
I think a LOT of people can be sexist... Actually a lot of incels never gave good criticism and their criticism was "she's a girl!!!" @@A_Random_Ghost
I really appreciated your enthusiasm and time making these! But, I absolutely hated the M-She-U phase 4…especially what they did to my favorite Marvel character of all time…Loki. I hate that they took so many liberties with many of the male characters and made them the butts of jokes. Toby McGuire will always be the best Spider-Man, Captain America The First Avenger is perfect, the same for Thor 1 & 2….Captain Marvel and She Hulk are insufferable. I hope that they keep TW far away from the these characters so they can be returned to their original “Glorious Purpose”. Thanks for doing these, I watched all 4 in their entirety for different perspective and you didn’t disappoint…we just disagree. ✌️ PS…My 4 sons grew up with the original MMPR, I have so many wonderful memories of watching Jason David Frank with them, as he was my eldest’s fav Ranger….May he rest in peace and may God comfort his loved ones whose lives will never be the same again.🙏
I’ve watched your entire retrospective this week and it has been astounding, the effort you put in is evident throughout and I loved every minute of it. I really hope you do a part 5 at the end of this year for the conclusion of Phase 4
1:32:06 I noticed it several times in the 3rd part, but it seems you are using the “titular character” or “titular villain” to mean the most important character or villian, but the world “titular” refers to characters who are mentioned by name in the title of the film.
Yeah, a good example is "The Wizard of Oz" Not Dorothy, nor her companions, or the wicked witch are the titular characters. Only the wizard they encounter right at the end is the titular character.
In the comics Fury lost his eye saving his squad from a live grenade in war. That would've been a way better backstory and echo back to Captain America jumping on a grenade he thought was live. God I hate the Captain Marvel movie so much
Did yoou really say people didint like Captain Marvel cuz it had woman in poster??? brother, you lost my respect at that point cuz WW was a woman yet people loved it. Didnt expect such "Karen" perspective from you.
Fantastic series, but one nitpick, Mysterio isn't the titular character of Far From Home. Titular would mean that the title of the movie is derived from him.
I sat around all day watching these four videos just because of the first thumbnail. U made me laugh u made me cry hell u even made chills run up my spine again for every single movie (mostly for Infinity War and Endgame). U made me get excited and cheer for these movies all over again, and with every happening with Marvel right now u made me remember why I love the MCU. Thank you SO much for this amazing experience once again. Seriously dude u actually made me feel like it was 2008 again. I am literally so excited too see your next MCU video. May the love of Marvel be with us.
Sameee, just chills and all the emotion, i was getting excited if Spiderman would show up or not for a movie years ago. The hype was as real as then... All the emotions 😍
I'm going to be real with you man it's not that she was a woman it's that it was her that actress wasn't the right character and as someone that loved the movie Atomic blonde and paddle angel I don't care if a badass character is a woman I care who plays how badass this character is I hate to say it Scarlett Johansson would have been the better choice but she was already Black widow but there are a list of characters that could have played Danvers much better than her
Honestly the movie would’ve struggled no matter what, even in the comics Carol is kind of stiff and not really strong enough to carry her own solo adventures. She’s like Dr.Strange in that they work far better as supporting characters to another’s story where they can bounce off of someone else.
@@sebastianchavez577 true she was a good combatant for Superman LOL Superman is kind of a stiff character also and she was supposed to be Marvel's version so it does make sense
I’m near the end of this final part of your series, nearly 2 years after you posted it, and I wanted to leave my remarks This 4 part documentary is an absolute leviathan of an undertaking to accurately and holistically, yet succinctly recount the events as they unfolded of this culturally imperative period of film media I have steadily lost most of my interest in the MCU as its various titles since the break for COVID have released, but over the course of these 7+ hours you’ve reminded me why I had been so attached to it since 2008 I can only imagine the research that went into this, not to mention the hours sat in front of a microphone. A truly professional job which has had a great impact on this viewer. Needless to say you have earned a subscription. Many thanks for your efforts
As someone who watched Avengers Endgame as the first MCU movie ever, I'd say that you've done really great job at sharing what it was like for a fan who was there since day one. Ofc I started watching them in order straight after and tbh, I agree. Endgame is prolly the best one so far. I rewatched it more times than I could remember.
God this brings back memories. I remember seeing Endgame with my EX boyfriend and his dad. They managed to get the last few tickets for opening night. The seats sucked but we didn’t care. I remember dropping everything I was doing and rushing to the theater and the energy was electric.
The bit about Captain Marvel was a bit hard to watch, constantly praising everything in the movie without addressing any of the blatant flaws (the main one being that the scenario doesn't make sense). And brushing of any criticism by saying "those who didn't like the movie are misogynists" makes it worse.
Ive watched through all the videos and this is the only contray opinion i have is that Captain Marvel is a bad film, not because it has a woman on the poster, but because that character is a mary sue with no real development to speak of. She feels more like wet cardboard reciting lines than an actual character
Just finished them all and holy crap this was genuinely amazing. You definitely don't have the recognition that you more than deserve. Thank you so much for this!
I liked wonderwoman and movies like hers, captain marven for me was horrible, dull and boring, generalizing the opinion of everyone it's quite trashy and telling that everyone that didn't like it was cuz it was a woman it's very insulting. None of the ppl that i know liked it and it's ok to like the movie but I won't say like you to "Ignore the opinion of everyone who liked it cuz of (name random stuff)".
Your opinion regarding the the poor rating for Capt Marvel was because there was a woman on the poster is ignorant. This is really my only negative. Very nice work on everything else.
I never comment on videos but I just want to say a massive thank you for all parts in this series. You kept me entertained for a whole work day and I know you must've worked hard. Keep it up!!!
It was nice being able to revisit all these films after so long. The MCU has been on a massive decline the past couple years, so it was nice being able to revisit all these films at their peak, with all the hype and excitement in tow.
Watched all 4 parts over this past week, even listening to it like a podcast while driving. Your narrative was really fun and brought back the excitment and the anticipation of each film. I was one of those people that didn't watch a single trailer or read any articles for Infinity War and Endgame, so it was great to see how Marvel promoted the movies. Thank you for sharing this! Looking forward to the next part!
Annoyed that you didn't get why Captain Marvel not smiling is an actually fair critique since her cocky smile is pretty iconic to fans of the comics and you've been pretty good at mentioning stuff like that.
I watched the entire series over the last few days and I just want to say thank you. This was a refresher without having to watch them all again . Great job. Can’t wait for the next one.
The biggest piece of garbage sense Thor 2 was definitely Captain Marvel. The rehashed old tropes, and forced the movie down your throat. Fury losing his eye because of a cat is stupid. The only reason people say they like it is because they don’t want to seem sexist.
Wrong. It's a good movie. You just sound like a snowflake- "forced the movie down your throat"?? 😂😂😂😂 And Fury losing his eye because of a cat was just subversive and funny. You must be great fun at parties.
I was waiting for the "You just don't like Captain Marvel because you hate women!" Line. Also I just have to say, Killmonger had absolutely no point. He was a sociopathic monster who blatantly admitted to T'challa that he only cared about causing as much death and destruction as possible as some sort of sick and twisted way to get revenge for his fathers death. He just coats his insane agenda up in some flowery BLM sounding language so he doesn't come across as the monster he truly is. Even though, looking exclusively at how he presented himself in the rest of the film and ignoring that singular moment of honesty with T'challa. His plan was still to cause a global race war and commence a hostile takeover of the entire world. No doubt killing millions, or probably billions in the process. Like good Christ man it's one thing for not-evil Black people to fall for his whole BLM message. Or for more evil Black people to just straight up support his plan for racial genocide. But he blatantly would like nothing more than to see you, me, and countless other people being brutally murdered. Yet you and other people still try and pretend like he somehow had a fucking point. You really had a solid 4 part review going until you just completely snapped me out of it with those two tired-ass claims.
Phenomenal breakdown! Love this channel! I’ve seen endgame so many times. But this breakdown made it feel like the first time again. Thank you! Great work here
The fact that you believe a 48% audience score is ALL due to people not liking that she’s a woman says a lot about you but ok. I loved this entire series, you did an awesome job but don’t attack an entire section of the fan base just because you don’t understand their pov
There are probably legitimate criticisms you can levy at the movie but come on, 48%? There were definitely a not insignificant amount of people who hated it exclusively because of Brie Larson as a person.
This was a way to relive the feeling of the experience, that was the mcu. Nowadays I’ve moved on from marvel a bit. But this made me remember the chapter of my life, that the mcu was a part of. Thanks for effort of making these videos.
yea, right, people obviously didn't like a woman on a poster of cptn.marvel, because this movie is F L A W L E S S, only Morbius surpassed it in its greatness
I remember 11 year old me seeing the Avengers assemble in New York for the first time, that entire sequence was awesome and something that I’ll never forget
I watched this entire series in a single day (at 1.5x speed) and my god it reminded me why I loved marvel so much at one point. After Endgame I kinda gave up on the MCU but this reminds me of how much I enjoyed the build up to that epic conclusion. Incredible video series.
These retrospectives were absolutely amazing. Really brought me back to the great feelings of anticipation for all the movies. I’m sure it took a lot of work, so THANK YOU!
Dear Prime if Grammer, Thank you so very much for making this documentary. I had forgotten what it was like to grow up with all of that and your video just had me feeling like a kid for 8 hours and I loved every second. Your passion is felt in this video and we can tell you love the content. This is a video I will be showing my kids when they are old enough to watch all the movies
I hate the fact I stumbled upon this now. I love these so much I simply can't wait to rewatch this in a few years with (hopefully) a few new additions.
I watched the first 4 parts of your videos multiple times. It gives me such a great feeling to go back to those days and remember what it felt like getting hyped for a new Marvel movie. I started as a generic 21 year old fan and have since seen every show and every movie. You’re right though, things are different now. The story feels like it ended in Endgame and everything now is just a weird continuation of the universe. I’m excited for the upcoming projects but I think peak excitement levels have already been reached and will never be as high as they once were. This video has been a very satisfying end to your series and I’m glad I stumbled across them. Their are no others like them. Thanks Prime 👋
Its still hard to believe that the MCU peaked at Infinity War. I was really looking forward to their adaptation of Secret Wars and seeing what they plan to do with Dr. Doom, but after Multiverse of Madness, i'm just checked out. That film was awful.
Dude I've been watching this over the past few days and for some reason this just makes me feel like I'm back there when these trailers came out, like I'm experiencing it all again for the first time it's amazing I love this channel and I love this retrospective
Man I've watched this whole series and really enjoyed it, but I'm unbelievably disappointed with your flat out refusal to be remotely critical of Captain Marvel. I'm not saying you can't like or even love the movie, but based on your commentary across all the films it's very clear you had no intention of saying anything bad regardless. And based on your reasoning that "anyone who didn't like it only didn't like it because a girl was on the poster" it's very clear why. Just to clear up my opinion, Wonder Women (not 1984) is one of the best super hero movies I've ever seen, and last I checked there was a woman on that poster. meanwhile captain marvel was mediocre at best, ignoring the lead actresses disdain the fanbase. Disappointing but not surprising, besides that I really enjoyed your series. Thanks for making
I can’t get over your dedication to detail, the way you bring us back to the thoughts and emotions at the time of these releases, unperturbed by the future we all know they’re heading towards. Felt great to be back in the moment again. Thank you so much for spending your time to bring us such joy
Watching these videos was an experience. I was 5 when Iron Man came to theatres and have stayed up to date with the MCU ever since, so these videos have in a way been a somewhat emotional journey through my life. Thank you, prime.
Captain Marvel (formerly Ms. Marvel) was one of my favorite Marvel comics superheros when I was young. That being said, the MCU's Captain Marvel absolutely sucked! If you liked it, that's great. I just don't believe you liked it as much as this retrospective suggests, particularly if you know anything about the character. Otherwise, I really like looking back on the MCU. Nice series. 😏👍
just finished binging this whole series. the level of work and attention to detail has blown me away, ive recommended these videos to countless friends begging them to watch so we can geek out about them together. easily in my favorite video essays of all time. with phase four basically done now, i would love to see a part 5 covering everything that has released since!!
Out of all of these Marvel videos, I found myself disagreeing it only one point, Captain Marvel. It wasn't a bad movie but it also was far from top Marvel and i wouldn't call it a small vocal minority nor because she was a woman. These same fans wanted a Black Widow movies. Brie Larson didn't do herself any favours with her rhetoric. Otherwise i really enjoyed these.
I've seriously enjoyed this retrospective series and would absolutely love to see another one at some point down the line. Perhaps at the end of Phase 4, after Wakanda Forever?
Thanks for making a list of videos to direct people to that wanna try to get into the MCU ,12 years late. As much as I love the movies I’m not gunna rewatch them with someone new to the MCU. I’ll just direct them to your videos. I truly appreciate how you described the hype the us fans went through as everything unfolded live. Thank you for such great work and effort! This a virtual MCU Time Capsule.
I gotta thank you for these retrospectives. I have completely ignored the MCU since it began, only seeing two of all these movies and none of Harry Potter and Star Wars. These have really helped me gain familiarity with these franchises along with the lore and fandoms surrounding them.
It's baffling to see how the average BatChest sees the MCU. Everything is surface level, "I love this", no analysis or criticism of anything whatsoever. Every Thor film is great, Black Panther is flawless, defending Captain Marvel, no writing or story decisions matter, no accountability held for Disney or any of the actors. These people are the ones who will watch anything and are the reason the MCU's become as shallow as FIFA seasonal releases.
I’m only an hour into this video but it really has seemed like that throughout the series, and after his take on Captain Marvel, it feels concrete. I’m fine with videos only including positive points, as long as you state that it’s purposeful and don’t pretend like there aren’t negatives, even if you don’t want to mention them. But when it comes to Captain Marvel, this guy’s happy to be very negative about fans but not the movie. He literally says there’s a minority who don’t like it while zooming in on a rating that says the majority didn’t like it. Then he says the reason the “minority” doesn’t like it is because woman. It’s so disingenuous and disappointing for a series and channel that (at first) looked like it had a lot of potential.
