He didn't lie, but he could've kept it cute until after the award shows. I have a strong dislike for superhero movies, but this is such a bad time to begin bashing films when the your actors (not your direction) are carrying your most recent one...allegedly.

I kind of agree? A lot of the time they are very formulaic and easy to predict but I thought that was kind of intentional to appeal to younger audiences.

The series on the other hand have been amazing, Wandavision is just :applause:

REALITY

I will never understand elitist attitude when it comes to art. Like, judging by my avi and signature, y'all know that I'm a fan of comic book movies, so I will defend them, but I think this conversation extends beyond that. When it comes to music, visual arts, movies, literature, etc., etc., there has always been this elitist attitude of the old guard trying to gatekeep what "is" or "isn't" art. If super hero movies aren't your thing, then that's totally fine, but I think this mindset of trying to invalidate these kinds of movies is so weird.

Like, people talk about "Oh, comic book films are so predictable and they're always the same" and then you go to old-school mafia movies or westerns as if they're also not "predictable" or "always the same"?? Yet those movies are herald as untouchable?? It's always this cycle of bashing the new and praising the old or praising something that you, personally, are fond of while trying to invalidate everything else.

Anyways, producers would kill to have a career like Feige's :vegas: 

Also, don't come for super hero movies being "boring" or "formulaic" when 90% of y'all are like "OMG GAGA DO AN ELECTRONIC/DANCE POP ALBUM FOR LG6,7,8,9,10,11,12...!!". People like what they like and that's why franchises like the MCU are so consistent. Btw, it's partly why Eternals got bashed by critics and (some) of the general audience. Y'all want them to do something new, but when they do, y'all trash them for it because "Oh, they're trying to hard," "It's too pretentious," "They should stick to their own lane," etc.

Well he ain't wrong. The majority of the marvel movies are mediocre at best. They're easy, mindless entertainment but they're not well written films, just flashy pretty special effects and easy to digest plots.
