Dan Harmon's retarded punch ups

stop being a humorless cunt?

Why would they fuck with something that's proven to make them money?

Even Dark Knight had quips and jokes, get the fuck over it.

>>87349735
>quipping

Read comics you silly faggot.

The lamest thing about all Marvel movies is how much dad rock they use. GotG is the worst offender, but Strange has Pink Faggot on the soundtrack. True horror is knowing that over-rated, over-played buttrock from the 20th century will never die because it was the first time toxic aural memes were promoted globally. Fucking garbage

>>87349412
I feel like the humour actually worked a lot better in this than in Thor 2, for some reason.

Honestly, in a lot of ways, I'd say that this film feels like it succeeds where Thor 2 fails.

I will agree that the slapstick didn't really work, though.

>>87349840
Do you only read Deadpool and Harley Quinn?

>>87349842
>The lamest thing about all Marvel movies is how much dad rock they use. GotG is the worst offender
It was momrock and it had a good reason for being there.

>>87349842
I'd understand if it didn't suit the film but Pink Floyd is absolutely appropriate for Doctor Strange.

Hell, with GoTG it serves a purpose as an anchor for Star Lord and to remind the audience of how long he's been removed from Earth for.

The only superhero film with classic rock from the past few years I can think of that really didn't need it was Suicide Squad, and that's because the soundtrack felt so manufactured in general (both modern and classic music) just to emulate GoTG without really understanding why it worked.

>>87349469
The truth third movie is one of the best comedies of the century

>>87351331
It wasn't trying to emulate GotG and GotG didn't invent classic rock soundtracks. It was WB making a knee jerk reaction to the trailers and forcing the movie to emulate them.

>>87349702
Why does light moments always need to be either references or slapstick in Marvel movies though

>>87351465
Obviously they didn't invent that convention but the way that it was used within the film, it's obvious that someone at WB saw a pop music soundtrack on a comic book property and thought 'that's what we need'.

It's sort of like what happened with the Matrix. For a short time afterwards, a ton of action films had their protagonists wearing black leather and sunglasses and doing flipkicks. Executives tend to only take the shallower elements of whatever they want to imitate while missing the actual reasons that something worked.

>>87349445
People are going to get tired of seeing the same shit eventually.

>>87351598
They weren't all those kinds of joke, though. Honestly, most of the humour in the film landed really well. I definitely dug TAO's sense of humour; she was pretty dry, and I think if the rest of the film had that dry sense of humour it would have elevated it to the top of Marvel's film releases.

>Can you get that in a gift shop?

>>87351598
Because audience and critics respond the most to them.

"haha the movies don't take themselves seriously, they know the entire premise is silly xD"

>>87349735
>>87349840
Where was there quipping in the film, anyway?

Other than the Wong/pop music gag, I don't remember much; more Strange being a smarmy bastard than quippy.

DORMAMMU, I'M CIA___________

>>87349842
"dadrock" and "buttrock" are both such overused and even nonsensical phrases to use. I've seen people refer to The Foo Fighters (a band from the 90's) as dadrock, and I've also seen people call the Rolling Stones (a band from the 60's) dadrock. Two completely different generations of music and yet they're both "dadrock".

And buttrock? What does that mean? People have called Nickleback, Def Leppard, Nirvana, and here Pink Floyd "buttrock". It basically just seems to mean "rock I don't like".

I'll say it, I liked the way Dormammu looked. Sucks about Mordo though, I liked him. Though, I guess that means the actor did his job right

>>87352707

I consider dad rock to be any music played on "classic rock" radio stations and was made between the 60s and 70s.

>>87352707
>It basically just seems to mean "rock I don't like".

That is all it means. It's an insult, not a criticism.

'Buttrock' really does just mean 'rock I don't like' but I'll keep using the term anyway because it's a fun term, but tends to refer to post-grunge like Nickleback or Creed or Puddle of Mudd.

'Dadrock' has a bit more of a personal connotation, that the listener can't let go of the past.

>>87352824

I thought buttrock was '80s hair metal shit like Poison.

>>87352731
>I'll say it, I liked the way Dormammu looked.

I think that Dormammu works because the adaption actually uses the unique benefits of film as a medium (i.e. motion) to make him look more ethereal, rather than just changing him arbitrarily. That ripple effect was pretty freaky.

>>87352707
>>87352824
They're exclusively /mu/ terms and mostly used out of pure envy and jealousy that the music has lasted the test of time.

>>87352824
>'Dadrock' has a bit more of a personal connotation, that the listener can't let go of the past.

What phrase would you use for people who listen to Mozart and Beethoven?

For the record I'm in my twenties and like old rock music. A lot of these bands were already old when I was a kid but I like them anyway.

You fart like a younger man, holding nothing back.

>>87349431
You know what the problem is? People has started to laugh at moments they shouldn't becuse they expect Marvel movies to be continuously funny. At the cinema, when Strange tells Christine "I don't want you to leave" or something like that and then she answers "I have to" and leaves, people fucking chuckled. There were some laughs while the protagonist was crying.

Fuck that, son. I like humor in my movies, but this is starting to become a shitfest.

To be honest, some of that could be teenagers. A lot of teens really don't like being seen as unironically liking things so they'll laugh at any attempted serious moments in films.

Just absorb yourself in the film and ignore the rest of the audience. They can have their experience, you just have yours.

>>87353775
It's why I don't go to the movies anymore. The audiences are completely braindead. I saw Star Wars last year and about every other line the audience was laughing at something, most of the time not even meaning to be funny.

>>87353820

>>87353192

Even the writers/directors are a bit confused as to why people find certain scenes funny.

In Winter Soldier, when Steve and Natasha run from shield, they go to Sam's house. Steve says something along the lines of "We need to lay low", Natasha says "Everybody we know is trying to confuse us". The writers who were just watching with the audience at multiple theatres noticed lots of people found it funny even though it wasn't written to be humorous. (See Winter Soldier director commentary)

Same thing happened again in Civil War, but this time it was just after Rhodey was shot down, Sam says to Tony "I'm sorry", then Tony blast's him and audiences laughed even though it was never meant to be funny. (See Civil War commentary).

>>87353852

Because movie audiences are total fucking idiots. There's still people who think the Fox movies are apart of the MCU.

>>87354011
It's been clearly established that the Fox and Sony films are separate from the Disney ones since the first Avengers came out. It's why "give the rights back" has been such a big meme for a few years.

Other than the bit where he unmuzzles him, that scene wasn't particularly humorous. Even if people did laugh, it's more a 'haha that's neat' laugh.

/mu/ hadn't been created by this point in time. Even Wilco has talked about the term dadrock and how it's annoying the term is constantly used to describe them. Do you really think that /mu/'s big enough that they could genuinely bother a major band like Wilco through name calling?

>>87353891
>Everyone we know is trying to kill us

How is that not a joke? It reads like a typical humorous exaggeration. Clearly the other Avengers, their family members, even many SHIELD agents like Sharon and Hill weren't try to kill them. How else am I supposed to interpret her use of "everyone" if not as an attempt at humor?

>>87355256

>>87355321
>You fucking losers on the other hand think this is serious business when people mix up movie studios and characters.

This is some serious projection going on right after you just said the audience is stupid for not knowing which studios produce which movies (and like I said most people understand the Fox/Sony/Disney rights).

>>87355565
>He didn't write the script but he definitely helped with re-shoots and the dialogue

>I don't like it when I'm reminded that the comics that I love are inherently silly and were originally marketed towards kids and young teenagers

FTFY

I blame books such as TDKR and Watchmen and the like for giving people the notion that superhero comics are somehow not silly, but really for mature grownups. Not only did it give rise to the laughably over the top "dark and mature" 90's angle, but its raised at least 2 generations of people who get their knickers in a twist every time someone points out, quite rightly, that Batman is for fucking kids.

Now I'm not trying to play some uber mature wanker who thinks he's above it all. I fucking love plenty of comics by the big two but I don't pretend to myself that they're supposed to be mature and serious.

Also the Wi-Fi joke was
1, fine
2, Informed the audience that TAO's shaolin eastern mysticism inspired temple isn't on some "let go of your modern trappings, embrace tradition" type bollocks, as would be the stereotype.

Finally, the Adele and Eminem references were part of the same joke. But sure, try and pretend there are more areas of contention for you if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Superhero comics are childish melodramas that are rarely, if ever marketed beyond the reach of literal 10 year olds.

Alright anon. I'm sure this sudden surge in making superhero movies has nothing to do with Marvel laughing all the way to the bank each time they release one.

>>87357096
Marvel isn't Star Wars, even Star Wars isn't Star Wars anymore. Both franchises are now committed to putting out movies every year until people stop going, they just aren't special anymore. The original Star Wars trilogy was just three movies that were all the Star Wars anyone had for almost 20 years. That's how something becomes iconic. Now none of the individual movies even matter anymore.

When I said Star Wars, I meant in terms of the way that its been merchandised and in terms of the way that its been embedded into the pop culture of this generation of kids.

The Marvel Movies are going to be looked back upon as fondly as films like Back to the Future or Ghostbusters or Indiana Jones or Star Wars are today. You might not think they are as good as those films, and you probably have a decent case there, but to kids growing up today, these will be their childhood favourite films.

No they aren't because they've over saturated their own product. The only thing about these movies that will be looked upon fondly is RDJ as Tony Stark, he's the only 'iconic' thing that's come from the MCU. Not to mention Raiders, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Empire etc. are some of the greatest films ever made and were unique and innovative during their times. The MCU is not.

Meanwhile you have a closeup on the manlet's face saying some retarded one-liner while people die, with the triumphant music and the overall feeling of the scene not helping at all.
Also, quips are not sincere. When you adapt a Comic Book you have to embrace its ridiculousness, not making self-aware crap because it kill the suspension of disbelief.

>>87358443
The MCU itself is a testament to Iron Man's level of iconography. Robert Downey Jr went from a c-list actor on his best day (at the time of Iron Man, I mean) to being one of the defining pop culture figures of the last ten years.

I wasn't even arguing their sales figures are a part of why they have the cultural spot they do, so that's a moot point.

The real problem with the MCU is not the quips, it's that every flick outside of The Winter Soldier is the same.

>>87358484
>When you adapt a Comic Book you have to embrace its ridiculousness, not making self-aware crap because it kill the suspension of disbelief.

Reminds me of sci-fi author Neal Stephenson on the subject of Zack Snyder's 300.

>http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/18/opinion/18stephenson.html

>Classics-based sci-fi is nothing new. To name the most recent of many examples, the novelist Dan Simmons published “Ilium” and “Olympos,” science-fictional takes on Homer. When science fiction tackles classical themes, the results may look a bit odd to some, but the audience — which is increasingly the mainstream audience — is sufficiently hungry for this kind of material (and, perhaps, suspicious of anything that’s overly polished) that it is willing to overlook the occasional mistake, or make up for it by shouting hilarious things from the balcony. These people don’t need irony or campiness self-consciously pointed out to them, any more than they need a laugh track to enjoy “The Simpsons.”

>>87358339
I agree, the movie felt rushed.

They could easily have added 20 extra minutes on Strange pre-accident, training, develop Mads and even the time loop at end could be done better done. The loop could be have Strange say, this the 100th attempt, 200th, 500th 1,000th or I've died 100 times or 10, 100, 10000 days have passed since our first encounter, during the montage of deaths

>>87358558
>Robert Downey Jr went from a c-list actor on his best day
Jesus fuck, stop talking. RDJ was nominated for an Oscar prior to Iron Man, he was a well respected actor that had substance abuse issues which almost ruined his career. He was far from c-list. And Iron Man isn't even iconic, it's RDJ. There's no way they can recast him within the next decade or two.

>>87358484
>When you adapt a Comic Book you have to embrace its ridiculousness, not making self-aware crap because it kill the suspension of disbelief.

>>87358652
I meant Downey was in a definite nadir of his career (and he himself has talked about this) until IM and Tropic Thunder helped revive it.

I'm genuinely curious, how old are you? I don't know anyone under 25 (y'know, the age range these movies and BtF and Ghostbusters were all marketed to) who wouldn't consider IM and Avengers iconic.

Are you talking about in terms of cinematic quality? Then there are plenty of "iconic" films that are mediocre from a technical perspective? Are you talking about from a perspective for how long they stay in the public conscious? If so, then it's too early to tell either way but both films look like they're on their way to fitting under your definition of iconic.

>>87358961
>but both films look like they're on their way to fitting under your definition of iconic.
Nah. Avengers is a pathetically shot movie. The only iconic thing about the entirety of the MCU is RDJ. People go to see him, not Iron Man, nor the Avengers. There's a reason why they've only crossed the billion mark when he's starring in the movie.

>>87357237

>>87360337
To be fair, it's a good point. Shakespeare is one of the most overrated writers on the planet. The only reason his stories have any significance is his fantastic grasp on English language. That much I can give him, but everything else he does pales in comparison to most other known writers.

You're acting like the only aspect a writer can be 'great' in is thematics.

Light hearted is the tone of these films. I assume this is what OP was talking about since that's what a majority of the complaints are about. Light Hearted doesn't mean funny anymore than it means campy.

Also, in the context of cape films, dark usually means serious in tone. In the sense that the atmosphere seems a bit more grim during the overall film.

Of course "dark" and "light hearted" have subjective meanings.

I think that they did a pretty good job being serious with it, to be honest. There weren't many jokes poking fun at the magic itself; more at the characters in that world.

It wasn't deadly serious, but it was serious in a slightly camp yet straight-faced way, which made it feel pretty perfect, aside from a few dud jokes. It never seems ashamed of the magical stuff; hell, that's the part it plays with most seriousness.

I respect what Lee was trying to do here but I've re-watched it a few times, and I still think of it as a failed experiment. Admirable, definitely, but still failed. There still hasn't been a director daring enough to properly take that arthouse approach to making a blockbuster superhero film no not even Snyder, but in doing so Lee made some bizarre and distracting creative decisions that just drag the film down.

>For some reason, in the film as it's released, that scene is ludicrously dark, so you can't keep track of what's going on.
Yeah, that was silly. And it got even worse when I saw it airing on free-to-air TV where I had to turn the gamma way up to see anything.

Well no, you can't. Marvel figured out a formula (comedy movie with big action elements in it) that prints money, so they won't steer too far away from it. And now everybody always assumes every Marvel movie feels primarily like a comedy, rather than a serious movie with some funny jokes in it.

>>87360412

Why do you think Marvel keeps pretending it never existed?

How do mediocre cape flicks always get 80+ on RT

>>87349412
Comic relief is a common film trope

They likely put those on the trailers so they wont alienate people who watch marvel for action and humor.

I mean, this is the first supernatural/paranormal cape we've seen in the MCU. It's a weird step for the normies who arent used to it. I'm sure it'll be mostly serious, like Civil War.

>>87362474
>how do movies aimed at a large audience get a high meter rating?
I wonder

>>87351634
People still watch informative murder porn and soap operas which have episodes numbering in the thousands

>>87362474
There's a reason why movies like Fast & the Furios get high ratings

Hollywood figured out that most people are stupid and didnt understand the good movies they used to make. So they made them flashier, and dumber. Larger audience = more cash

>>87362517
I understand why plebs like it. I just thought critics were above simple fanwanks.

Nah, imagine an MCU without Disney.

If they had been a bit more creative with the magic (Most of the wizard fighting was just punching and more or stick fighting with cgi weapons, barely anyone bothered casting some fucking spells at each other) and if they'd cut out some of the groaners like what OP listed this movie could have easily been a 9/10.

As it stands, 7.5/10

The films are doing well and are usually pretty enjoyable. The humour in them is just an easily identifiable thing across all their films that people can latch onto in order to claim a self perceived notion of intellectual superiority over all the people who enjoy them.

Its the typical 4chan "its popular, let me tell you why I'm so smart and mature for not also enjoying it" thing

Not that it's impossible not to enjoy these films of course, its just a lot of the arguments seem to come with a smug sense of self superiority. Its not enough that they don't enjoy them, they also have to be intelligent for not doing so

Also 4chan has cearly lost sight of what the fuck a quip is a long time ago

>>87360446
What is wrong with being too on the nose? We get a sense of how long Strange and Dormammu were in conflict and how long they both suffered

>>87365354
Given that Dormammu is an interdimensional being of immense power, and the way they edited it so that we didn't see every death I got the sense that it had been many many many times.

Strange didn't need to tell him how many times it had happened, he just needed to keep coming back with the same line over and over for potentially eternity.

I don't think Strange remembered each death, he just set the time loop in motion. He wouldn't know how many times he had died to count.

>>87365172
All of those films suck.

I didn't exactly enjoy the film, the visuals were nice but the story was much too thin and the way that eastern mysticism was dropped so quickly struck a nerve
That being said the gags didn't seem all that out of place and they did add a sense of enjoyment to the film
It would definitely be unfair to say that the jokes within detracted from the quality of it
I'm beginning to think that the action genre as a whole just isn't for me

>is it possible that he was in there long enough that he ended up becoming much more magically proficient than we realise
I thought so, or at least better skilled with what he already knew. Dormammu hrew a variety of attacks at him (fists. mouth blasts, crystal things) so strange at least got a glimpse of his arsenal. Plus during his montage of deaths we did see Strange dodge and last longer against attacks that Dormammu threw a him the first couple of times which was pretty cool. Though the title of SS was suddenly thrown on him, he still has a lot to learn (like fucking incantations), so hopefully his next movie gives us more magic with a different look. I know it's a bit extra and kinda dumb to assume they would throw all this stuff in the first movie but I was kinda expecting more magical creatures to show up.

No, what I read is superhero comics. And super heroes quip. They have been quipping for decades. If you kids had been reading comics before '08 you'd know this.

I'm 20 minutes in and it's very refreshing to have them take the origin so seriously. When does it shit the bed?

Any one digging the new MARVEL opening sequence?

>>87366383
>It's very refreshing to have them take the origin so seriously.

No one tell him


But to be real here, why are Marvel incapable of taking themselves seriously? NOTE serious =/= dark, brooding and edgy. It just means they have the ability to actually believe in what they are making and to take themselves seriously and to do it in earnest.

Same shit happened with Ant-Man with the>this is so silly lol we don't believe any of this can be taken seriously. Please watch our movies.

It just reeks of insecurity or an unwillingness to believe the average audience will take it seriously.

>>87366564
I'm halfway through now and they still have taken it seriously.

This is some real /tv/ tier shitposting but I shouldn't be surprised.

>>87366564
I believe the opposite. This IS taking it seriously. As in translating as much from the printed page, including the lighthearted moments and the quips, to the silver screen as is possible.

If they were embarrassed of the properties, like the directors and producers of the DCEU movies are, they would end up being too dark-and-broody and the movies would ultimately miss their mark and fail to properly translate the properties they were representing.

>>87366605
>>87366564
How is that wrong? That doesn't make his origin less serious.

Fuck, what is this with those normal fag who think cape comics aren't allowed to have humor.

It has always been part of it.

Absolutely this.

It isn't trying to distance itself from its immature source
