Marvel Studios

No, you're right. I just enjoyed Bucky and Zemo.

The 4th wall breaking is in character for her, though. She’s the only major Marvel character besides Deadpool who can do it (and she did it first).

I care. I love talking about them, because I want Marvel to keep making shows and movies. Some are going to be bad. Some are going to be great. That's what reading Marvel comics in the 80s and 90s felt like. You'd get great writers doing thought-provoking crossovers and creative plotlines, and then sometimes the whole book would just be the quest for a reason for Hulk to fight the Thing just to see who wins.

Seeing Daredevil show up in She-Hulk was like crack for me. I want more of that. It created tension and intrigue. They were playful and competent. The villains were regular, shitty people who exist in the real world. Blonsky was excellent, and I hope we get more of him, maybe in Thunderbolts (although I hope it's not the same story as the comics).

The fourth wall thing was very appropriate for She-Hulk, but I can understand why some people didn't like it. I also believe a lot of the hate stemmed from an undercurrent of real-life red-pill misogynists, but that's not to say all criticism was invalid.

Moon Knight was great, even if the Kaiju Ennead battle was stupid. I really hope we see more of all of that.

I was more mad that they blew the transition in Multiverse of Madness for the sake of a shitty, telegraphed plot twist that everyone saw coming anyway. "Oh, you didn't tell me her name. Well, I guess you should know I'm irredeemably evil now. See, I've turned all the trees red. That's how evil I am."

I've been really forgiving on the series too, but Echo was also largely a miss. I think they tried to tell a mob story initially but it morphed into a typical Marvel story at the end and the theming really hindered the story resolution. Probably a result of how it was edited (butchered?); apparently they reduced the episode count and it shows.

But yeah, I've enjoyed the series that most people have passed by, like She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel.

Not great, not terrible.

It's when Anthony Mackie is in something. He plays Anthony Mackie, guy who has all the power of Anthony Mackie.

He's not a bad actor. He's not a great actor. He delivers the lines he's given. A good script makes you like him. A bad script makes you wonder how he keeps getting work.

Think about Sebastian Stan in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Think of a line Stan delivered, or a scene he was in. Try to remember how his character felt in that moment. It can be any scene you think of, any line of dialogue.

Now think of Mackie. It's the same show, the same writers, the same situations. Can you remember how his character was feeling from a facial expression? Do you remember connecting with the emotions behind the lines he was saying? Or was he just... there?

You didn't like Captain Carter?

I really liked Jeffrey Wright, and I liked how it massaged the concept of the Multiverse and pulled together a surprisingly coherent story. I was expecting a fun diversion into otther versions of stories we didn't get to see, but it ended up rounding out some underutilized characters and being central to the future of the MCU.
