Topic	Board 8 Ranks: The Marvel Cinematic Universe (PHASE TWO!)
Inviso 02/18/21 12:56:07 PM #430:	Lopen This is the peak of the MCU formula. All the movies up to this point play into it (aside from Hulk), but none of them are particularly necessary viewing to enjoy it as the movie is pretty much completely self contained. All the characters are used well here and play into their established character in the previous films, and Loki is the best villain in the MCU by a fairly wide margin. He has the Marvel wit to him, but he is NOT treating anything like a joke, unlike Ultron. The theme that these guys are a bunch of disjoint parts, and that the first arc of the film is Loki using their lack of cohesion to try and take them apart is perfect. It gives you a lot of fight scene fodder and makes every character feel relevant-- also establishes Hawkeye and Black Widow as characters without giving them origin movies which is cool It's hard to explain just why I love this movie so much, but I guess it's just the simplicity of it all. This is before the cast got too big, everything got too self referential, and it is just pieced together and paced really well. I could watch this movie every month and enjoy it every time. Maniac64 I saw this move 4 or 5 times in theaters. The most of any movie ever. Everytime I found out someone hadn't gone yet I suggested we go watch it. I loved it bringing together characters from the idfferent movies and the interactions between them were great. Loki was an excellent villain for it and the army was great fodder for them to show off against in the big battle. Coulson's death was tragic (though obviously the TV show has mitigated that considerably) and made for a great unifying moment for these very different heroes. Since it is a smaller cast that doesn't have to introduce many people more time is able to be spent on everyone compared to the later Avengers movies. This was what all of Phase 1 was building to and it was so worth it. The movie's quality is what secured the future of the MCU. I just love this movie, one of my all time favorites and one that I find infintely rewatchable, which is a big deal to me. CoolCly I have rewatched The Avengers probably 20+ times easily. Ive seen the Joss Whedon Directors Commentary alone around 5 times. Its one of my go to comfort shows that when Im stressed or in a bad mood, I just put it on and it always relaxes me. I love everything about this movie. Every line is so purposeful and consistent with the character, both backwards to their origin movies, within the rest of this movie, and with the MCU going into the future. An ant has no quarrel with a boot. - His first name is Agent. - Yeah, theres a lot of things Fury doesnt tell you. - Its an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me. - That man is playing Galaga. - Save the rest for the turn, J. I love everything in this movie. I love Tonys relationship with Banner he really sets him up to come out into the open with what he is and be part of the time, despite Banners reluctance to doing anything like that. I love Cap and Tonys butting of heads, culminating in the Call it, Cap in NY. The scenes of Tony and Cap after the attack on the helicarrier, both Furys speech with the bloody cards and their further chat at the spot Coulson died, are really powerful. I love that everybody has their shot at Loki throughout the movie. Cap in Germany, Tony at the tower, Widow in the interrogation, Hawkeye with the exploding arrow, Thor several times, Coulson with the gun when hes down and Hulk with the ragdoll. There are a couple things in the writing that are done a bit too conveniently the reason the heroes fight eachother is a bit thin and the Chitauri all powering down after the mothership is nuked is real convenient. But ultimately, the plot is served well by these conveniences, so sometimes it just is what it is, and those arent really significant issues, just nitpicks that maybe could have been handled a bit better This is a GREAT movie and I love it. Love it love it love it. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso <cite>Inviso posted [p:950794317] in Board 8 Ra... [t:79288169]...</cite> <quote>Lopen This is the peak of the MCU formula.
