Poll of the Day > Are the MCU avengers movies worth watching?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have Disney plus but I never use it

---

The first one is, and Infinity War which I guess is Avengers 3. Didn't like the 2nd one that much but it has its moments.

---

Does the Pope shit in the woods

---

yes

they're fun action flicks

---

some are better than others, but they're all worth watching, for sure, ok?

---

Marvels The Avengers: Yes, classic fight scenes.
Age of Ultron: Its good, but a little long.
Infinity War: Great stuff.
Endgame: It was good.

They're okay if your standards are low and you dont like to have to think about anything you watch and prefer a narrative to be spoonfed to you. Though admittedly the current diversity trend that has dogged the recent marvel films takes away from that. If you're really looking for something that challenges the typical Disney cash grab narratives I would suggest something more cultured like John Wick or Batman v Superman

Batman v Superman

That was awful. They ruined 2 storylines with that movie too

---

They're pretty much all fun movies but none of them are really oscar worthy. Some of the CGI hasn't aged well. But the acting is generally very good

---

Duh.

How is this a question? They made billions of dollars for a reason.

Age of Ultron was amazing. It got me back into the MCU. And IW was fantastic as well.

Conversely, the first Avengers movie is what got me out of the MCU.

Which means nothing in terms of quality.

The dude is obviously trollin', but John Wick is great.

To answer TC, yeah, the Avengers movies are worth watching.

---

Yes. Theyre all worth watching.

And in release order. The only one you could get away with watching out of release order is Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but theyre really made to watch in release order.

And I believe that the only three that arent on Disney+ (and never will be) are The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man Homecoming, and Spider-Man Far From Home (Hulk being owned by Universal and Spidey being owned by Sony).

The first Avengers movie was great, because at the time nothing like this has ever been done before. Huge ensemble cast, from multiple franchises that were once separated when Marvel was selling their movie rights to different studios....comic fans never believed an Avengers movie could happen at all...

Age of Ultron was great too, but not without it's flaws. I supposed too much green-screen and cheap SFX to hide Scarlett's baby bump doing her Black Widow Kung Fu, threw me off. Thor's Hot Tub scene was a bit silly too. Killing Quicksilver so Disney can share the character with Fox (before they bought that studio)....still good movie, Spader as Ultron was near-perfect. Serkis as Klaw was highly entertaining.

"Captain America: Civil War" was more like "Avengers 2.5"; I treat it as such. AoU was great, but Civil War should've been the proper Avenger sequel.

'Avengers: Infinity War' is literally the "Empire Strikes Back" of the entire MCU. Thanos was the perfect sympathetic villain of the movie. Soul Stone part was a bit hokey. and still no Adam Warlock...but still great. 10 years of breadcrumbing the Infinity Stones led to this. It was worth it.

then there was "Endgame"....WTF....they literally shit the bed with this one. Yes, there were some great MOMENTS in the movie. When the Avengers "Assembled" in the end. Despite how cheap using the time-travel plot device was a stupid move, they broke their own rules over time-travel, while disproving all the other time-travel rules in other movies. As well, they turn Thanos into a one-sided basic villain instead of the one we got in IW. Captain Marvel only served as a Deus Ex Machina, after all the SJW hype she got over her own movie (you can see the seams where she was cut from the movie because Disney overplayed her exposure). The repeating of the Soul Stone scene was cheap and uninspired. Hulk playing a cucked soy-boy was tragically stupid. No new characters were introduced to help people get excited for future post-Evans post-RDJ, MCU movies..... Not saying it was all a let-down, Cap and Iron Man's send off was great....but it all could've been better.

Elaborate

I dont want to derail this into another Endgame time travel topic, but it does not break its own time travel rules. It uses ridiculous technology and makes things convoluted for the sake of dramatic tension, but it follows the rules it created for itself.

John Wick is great.

The gun range where I train has a mannequin shrine to John Wick.
