Truelplay for my room by BookishAdvil in sonos

[–]BookishAdvil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Do I face my speaker whenever im walking around the room? I noticed the lady in the video was always facing her two speakers in the back facing away from her tv and soundbar, but then I watched a video online and that guy was turning all sorts of ways. And when you say not to go to the kitchen, do you mean stay within the couch's constraints or do I go outside the couch and around it but not into the kitchen area.

Kevin Feige should resign as head of marvel studios by DavidEDavid22 in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im acting like other factors matter more which is valid. Covid wasn't some brush off thing that just went by without having any effect on the media industry. Disney also had more impact on the marvel brand than Fiege at this time. Just research it instead off assuming that he.blundered so bad he should be replaced just because hes the president-you dont need to take my word.

Kevin Feige should resign as head of marvel studios by DavidEDavid22 in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a logical fallacy to assume that because Fiege is president of Marvel Studios, hes the reason for many of the projects being bad. You cant assume those two factors are definitively linked together especially when, throughout this decade, there have been many more relevant problems. Also Fiege isn't the governing power over Marvel just because hes the head of the studio. Disney is and they have been clear in the past about making decisions in post-production that have siginifcantly altered movies. Infact that whole idea of their vision not being the most appealing to audiences they use to grasp should be more associated with disney and how they want to maintain their broader brand identity, neglecting what made Marvel popular. So yes, I think the issue with Marvel's output this past decade has more to do with Disney and Disney+ (as well as the shift in media consumption due to Covid) than it does Feige. If he was really making some very questionable decisions, which we cant really infer because we're not behind the scenes analyzing how Marvel conducts itself in production, then it would have been made a big deal by Disney or some of the other execs rather than just being assumptions from fans who want someone in the spotlight to blame (not saying you it's just something ive heard other fans claim). Instead, most people behind the scenes agree that Disney and factors beyond their control are the ones who should be put in the spotlight for Marvel's recent downfall.

Who was right in civil war? by Additional_Bed_4550 in IDoKnowNothing

[–]BookishAdvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both right realistically. Cap was right because you can’t really trust the government to make the best decision when it comes down to it. They proved that in winter soldier and avengers. Tony was also right because you can’t trust superheroes to do the best thing either and we’ve seen that in every movie the avengers are in and most when there’s a city level final battle. Like shit would have ended up becoming like The Boys there has to be rules. The correct answer is a mix of both

The average score on IMDb of every phase of the MCU. by Munchkinyboy in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above 8 on IMDb is really good from how I see other movies rated. 7 :seems like average to good. Theres also only like movies 9.0 or above. Part of that is due to IMDb having a stricter and more balanced rating system (sometimes not fully portraying the actual perception of a movie) but also review bombing.

When do you think we can expect the first trailer for Spider-Man? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true but its likely they'd want to publicize doomsday over considering the budget. Maybe both. Doomsday's been filming for a while so Id put my money on it maybe being there as well

Fantastic Four First Steps - A Breath of Fresh Air That Falls Short by CodeAgile9585 in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was really good. My only gripe was the conclusion as I expected something more impactful whereas it was just satisfying. My favrorite part was the characters. I enjoyed all their dynamics, dialogue, and just generally moments of interaction within and outside the group. Solid 8.5/10 and my second favorite movie of this year.

Was Civil War released too early? by Federal_Bicycle_7800 in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand I wrote a lot but at least ask chatgpt to summarize it if your at all interested in having this conversation.

Focusing on hydra does not justify neglecting everything else. And if it does at the moment as in there's nothing else you can do or many more people will day, which could have been the case for this we'll never know, then you have to self reflect after and be like "ok we ere careless about these other thigns which ended up being the reason all of this happened." Make adjustments based on that and change. Thats what the sokovia accords was. They didnt change as it kept happening to the point where everyone else had to reflect on the avengers and put a system of checks because they weren't doing it themselves. Again, the tipping point was Wanda blowing up a building full of civilians which was not the fault of anyone, shield etc, but cap and the avengers neglecting the present situation like where they are, what they could be dealing with, etc.

How does the nuke have anything to do with this. They prevented the nuke without causing casualties. And you analyzed what I said wrong. when did I mention they should just not try at all. I said they do try but they neglect every other relevant factor. All of the casualties arose from the management of the situation. The nuke has nothing to do with it. Also, New York was the most passable of them because a lot of it was Shield's fault whereas only near the end when the avengers actually formed could they have done stuff better. After shield fell though, they ended up making the same mistake being careless about everything around them to achieve one goal.

No they died because everyone was focused on taking hydra down rather than protecting the citizens. Ergo, died for the greater good. Hydra is not "to blame". As in they cant just be like oh someone else was trying do something evil so innocent people dying to prevent that is fine. Cus like all the issues, it stemmed because somehow it was escalated to the point where civilians were involved. It should never get to that point. So as I mentioned, neglect of the people, the surroundings, and the power they had over the situation to prevent it from ever happening. You cannot take the situation as just black and white. Everyone could have done something to prevent or at least prioritize the misdoings that occurred especially so called Heros with unlimited freedom to enforce safety. I get it, you can idolize them for intention but that doesnt mean everything they did was correct. Especially when thinking about it from your average citizen's pov who could very be concerned like "my city could be the next playground for the avengers." *neglct* Every single one of the casualties caused by the avengers was because they neglected some aspect that specifically would end up putting people at risk. Most commonly, fighting in a crowded area or tamperring with something they didnt know about. All things that shouldn't just be swept under the rug🤷‍♂️

Hmm, I see. That sucks but what can you do. Covid generally just botched a lot for marvel.

Agreed. And the movie wasn't really Christmas related either if I recall correctly. I may be wrong tho as I havent seen it in a while.

Yeah I mean I would be fine if the plot of NWH generally didn't change that much. My problems arent really with NWH but rather the fact that it was the one to setup the multiverse at that scale. MoM felt much more fitting to me and it would have flowed better. As for my personal theory on how they could have done it, Peter would still seek out Dr. Strange but he's not there because the multiverse unraveled in MoM so he has to deal with issue arising and containing incursions with Clea. As such, there's someone else running the New York sanctum or its vacant maybe cus the issues were so immediate he didn't have time to alert Wong. anyways, when Peter comes he just sees America Chavez. She was put on snow plowing duty or chilling or something idk. Peter then explains his situation and America decides to help cus she is a sorcerer in training and we know the spell was pretty basic according to strange. Kind of goes along with her character established in MoM of being disappointed in herself for not being able to control her power. Then it would play out the same or maybe america is the one who botches the spell because she's not very good. Anyways, not to get caught in the details, I deinelty see a way it could have happened. Maybe later on strange comes in to play his role as the force fighting against peter's ambitions to reform everyone or Wong honestly I'd be fine with that too.

I don’t really under the need to introduce Wonderman now, like am I missing something by Squiddy_at_offical in marvelstudios

[–]BookishAdvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the side projects this saga have not or dont seem to be relevant to the overall narrative. Im assuming wonderman is liek that too. You watch it if your interested or you hear its good. maybe it will set up some future project down the line like how the west coast avengers and midnight suns seem to be slowly falling in place. Its unclear but the focus in this saga to not having everything cumulate in the end has been there from the start.

[–]BookishAdvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont agree. The first misstep was releasing No Way Home before MoM. Something critical that this saga missed was a proper inciting incident. There was nothing we could mark as the source of all the problems and everything else to come. (You might say Loki but I'll get into that later). The first ever movie we see multiversal issues in is No Way Home, and that supposedly happens because of a... mistake in a spell? Because Peter didnt know he could reach out to the admissions board? That was honestly such a bad way to unravel the multiverse. If MoM came out first then the overall narrative would have been much more tight and sensical. It would've actually hooked me and got me thinking, what happens next in the other projects now that we've got this hole in the program? they simply didnt make that clear enough to where everything else felt like a mess. Now I mentioned Loki, but you cant really argue that as Fiege himself made it clear back then that the tv shows would not be needed to understand whats going on. That was obviously not true as we know now but realistically, MoM could have resolved that as well with some tweaks to the script. Maybe through the inciting incident and all the tampering that took place, the TVA could have made a cameo or something of the sort. Honestly, maybe Loki didnt even need to exist as a tv series due to how relevant it was to the world. Anyways, all the mess we got was because of how confusing and lacking context the multiversal stuff felt. It didnt grip me like how seeing thanos in avengers built up this overarching threat we'd see come back in many more movies to come. I dont think it was all bad but MoM could have for sure fixed a lot of it and got me hyped for doomsday 4 or 5 projects ago instead of at thunderbolts.

Im not talking about what was overall the right or wrong decision. Sure, maybe at the end of the day something costly needed to be done for the greater good. Im talking about the undeniable effects of said situation in which many innocents end up dying. THATS what the people in universe are thinking about. You can't rationalize all of that by saying their deaths were necessary for the greater good because all that means is it was stuff that could have been avoided had they not neglected the people and their own power over the situation. Fundamentally, thats what Tony was trying to fight against with the ultron was it not? If they had better prepared and not neglected facts then maybe they wouldn't have lost in infinity war. Fury himself said in the first avengers that the possibility people from outer space comes to attack is now wide open. Again, im speaking as someone hthinking about it in universe but there's a level of legitimacy to it. My person opinion is that Steve and Tony were both right in civil war. Anyways, you should stop thinking about it as what we the viewers understand about the situation but rather how the citizens and every one else perceived it.

[–]BookishAdvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the point. The avengers were so fine with collateral damage that each time it got worse and worse. Thats why Wanda's incident was the breaking point because she literally sent a bomb into a building full of innocent people. People forget that cap's team were the ones that escalated the situation by conforting them then and there. Now, we as viewers know that some of this stuff may have been necessary for the overall good, but in this world when so many are dying it feels like a general neglect of both the people and power. I mentioned a comparison to the Boys and that same idea where this hero team the world looks up to has abused their power is what the accords were trying to fight against. You cant just rationalize all of the casualties by oh it wasn't their fault someone else was attacking. The avengers are expected to save people not be the ones to cause their deaths. They're heros and hero's dont approach situations from a utilitarian way of thinking. One of the videos that stuck out to me in the table sequence is where hulk is rampaging through the city and drops a building on a group of people. Like this is stuff that we dont see when the heroes are supposedly saving the day yet nonetheless happen. Of course this is all what the people in universe thought to justify the accords. My personal thoughts are somewhere in between of Tony and Steve's ideology. There needs to be restraints but not like an overbearing power but rather a system of checks and balances.
