Has anyone considered not getting worked up over things they dislike on the Internet? It would be really easy, just don't hate on things, because if you don't like something then why are you wasting your time talking about it?

It's great that #MarvelRivals is going out of its way to highlight lesser known characters, that's great - but it's a complete waste of time if [insert niche favorite character] doesn't make the cut.

Hating comic book movies doesn't make you a film buff or smarter than anyone else, it just means you hate fun & have no friends, sorry - not sorry.

I'm conflicted as a comic book fan, on the one hand - I want everyone to understand and appreciate my favorite characters as much as I do. On the other, more toxic, hand - I feel the need to be validated as someone who is a bigger fan than people who learned about them after me.

This is especially true regarding Dane Whitman, who I simultaneously want to prove is the single greatest fictional character & hate seeing poorly written clickbait articles about. I both want to see him become very popular but don't want anyone else to be a super fan of him.

The last thing comic fans want is to see another #Superman movie that resembles Man of Steel in any aesthetic, directing or thematic form. Superman shouldn't be grim, desaturated & cynical, that's just not Superman
People who like Batman but don't like Superman, don't really like Batman, they like the idea of Batman they've built in their head: Punisher with plot armor and a cape.

I've been seeing X-Men fans spreading this narrative that the Avengers are just cops. I think that take lacks any nuance. The Avengers aren't cops, but they also aren't revolutionaries, they're bad Allies for mutant rights, but they have to be, the narrative of the X-Men suffers.

it's reductionist and wrong, I get that X-Fans don't want to read anything but X-Men (and might not be able to afford it given the amount of titles) but don't say shit if you don't actually read an Avengers book, are you gonna tell me that Wasp, Thor, or Black Knight are cops? No

People who genuinely believe that Eternals was a bad movie:

Comics YouTube > Comics TikTok > Comics Twitter I said what I said.
MCU fans who don't read comics, need to start. It's so easy to read comics, so easy - why aren't you reading comics? Everyone should start reading comics, there's literally no reason not to, they're super accessible, they're usually fun, and the writing and art is amazing rn.

Literally go into a comic shop, pick a random comic, if it says "x of y" go find issue x and start there, if it doesn't just pick it up, every comic is someone's first, if you don't know what's going on that's what wikis (or reading more comics) are for.

Gotta be honest, what do people get out of hating on the MCU? It's the most popular movie franchise in the world, all you're doing by hating it is being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. They're inoffensive movies that people watch for enjoyment, get over yourself

There are two kinds of people I can't stand when it comes to online movie discourse: Film Bros that think movies should exclusively be about art, and the Snyderverse crowd. Both are equally out of touch with reality, chronically online, and need to just let people enjoy things.
Imagine only being a fan of #Marvel or #DC, even worse, imagine being a fan of the #MCU or the #DCEU but not being a fan of/reading #MarvelComics or #dccomics, that's boring and cringey. If you like the movies - read the comics, it's not hard.
#KingpinWilsonFisk is not a #SpiderMan villain anymore. Everything that makes the character interesting was introduced by Frank Miller in #Daredevil comics. He's THE Daredevil villain, and Spider-Man has other crime bosses, that's what Hammerhead and Tombstone are for.
I an baffled that there are people who didn't enjoy #Eternals it's expertly written with the Best CGI since Endgame, and quite frankly some of the best written characters & engaging themes in any movie I've ever seen. It's my new favorite movie and the best MCU film to date.

#DaneWhitman may not have been in the movie much, but he represents the future of the #Avengers and I believe he's going to be the next big deal in #Marvel. All of the characters were great, but his short time was my favorite. And he's the best character in the comics, bar none.
So, #Eternals is really good. And with it's second post-credit scene has established itself as having my favorite moment in the MCU. As a whole, the film is not flawless, but the characters are great, and I think it's probably my favorite movie..... For now.

#SpiderManNoWayHomeTrailer has no Big Wheel. 2/10. It's simple math.
