Captain America 4

[Tony the Tigger]

It's ultimately a pointless film. I only saw it in the cinema because someone asked me to go. Otherwise, I would have waited for streaming. It's not bad in a way that is entertaining like Madam Web. It's just mediocre and not very interesting. It's also very disjointed and relies on too much exposition. I'd be curious to know about the reshoots. The film seems like there were more ideas and things going on that were stripped out.

All superhero movies are pointless. They’re just fun.

If anything, this one has a more important message than most, with the obvious racism faced by black men, even when they were superheroes.

Unlike all the other superhero films that make a deep and meaningful point.

Devil's advocate: This is because we've settled for what the MCU regularly puts on offer. There are loads of superhero comics that have a point to them, people just haven't attempted to make movies like that for the most part. The masses are instead satisfied simply by the mere fact of seeing character X on the screen.

Why are we suddenly saying superhero movies have no heart? I have absolutely been taken on an emotional roller coaster by superhero movies before

IMO their concern should be the climactic Avengers team-up is going to be met with a shrug or indifference by the people who made Endgame the huge hit that it was.

You wanna bet?

With all due respect how was madam web “bad in a way it was entertaining”? It may be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen!

I don’t take it so seriously.

I thought it would hold better, but this bickering and hair splitting over whether it hits the magic number of $425 million globally ignores the obvious fact that Disney doesn't green light a movie like Captain America 4 to just break even in the theatrical window.

Just for clarity, I was bickering about a hyperbolic budget.

The movie isn’t a success. It’s also not really a major failure in the classical sense. It just sort of disappointingly is. I think the company was quite worried about it in the last 18 months.
