Na. Then again I didn't like The First Avenger at all. So maybe that skewed my view of him as well.
I didn't like it either, but I thought Hugo did a good jerb.

The disappointment in Ultron is warranted which is a shame considering all the hype this movie received

Spoiler:
Also I felt that Ultron was a little too emotional at points and having his creation rushed like that doesn't help things either. Also why a meteor? I mean I know Ultron has why but aren't their more efficient ways of destroying humanity?

Also I thought the twins sucked however I'll admit to being biased against their comic counterparts so maybe that has something to do with it. And I might have missed something but do Betty/Ross just not exist anymore in the MCU?

Well quality wise, BvS shouldn't have to worry about being blown out of the park unless the movie turns out to be complete shit.

Spoiler:
The meteor thing was alluded to earlier when he spoke about extinction events. He wanted to do something in line with what humanity had already experienced. Not very efficient, granted, but he had his reasons.

Agreed @ him being too emotional though. I honestly didn't like that, and Spader is more than good enough to play cold and calm if he has to.

Betty exists, sure. Tony did name the Hulkbuster Veronica after all. And iirc, TIH move is still part of the universe.

Dunno what's going on with Hulk.

Spoiler:
thought they were going to give Hulk a really big part in this movie because he didn't have any solo movies. But he was hardly used and wasn't even the highlight of this v one like he was in the last one.

BvS needs to be better. Because Marvel have already built up a brand whilst DC still needs to do that. And BvS will be crucial in that build up.

When you think about it, Loki really has been the only decent bad guy in any of the MCU films so far. All Ironman's enemies have been shit. Malekith was shit. Ronan was shit. Winter Soldier was average. Red Skull was shit.

****ing fan boys exaggerating criticism to prove a point. Sure the MCU villains aren't incredible, but they're by no means "shit". They're all decent and capable villains, Marvel tends to focus more on it's heroes though.

btw, Captain America First Avenger is another example of exaggerated hate. It's a well-made movie, but some people magnify and latch onto its small issues.

But are they really. In terms of relevance, Hulk didn't seem an more important than Hawkeye and Marvel hasn't provided any news as to whether or not they're doing a solo Hulk movie anytime soon.

Spoiler:
The way the Banner/BW romance was handle, I would've figure he'd forgotten Betty even existed. However since this is supposedly the same Hulk I guess both Betty and the general have to be doing something right?

Well lets look at the other side.
Joker was great but other than him all other dc villains have been mediocre.
Zod was like Ronan, and Malekith.
Bane was ok not great, same with Ras a Ghul and scarecrow.
Everyone has been kinda meh except joker.

So i dont see how both companies differ in that respect. Some act like one overpowers the other in great movie villains,. Which is not the case.

Ppl get too carried away with originally minor criticisms

Ghul and Bane were much better than your average villain though.

I dont think those 2 were better than Red Skull, Blonski/Abomination, Zola. Comparable yes, better , no.

Tbf, Batman has the best villains.

At least ones that translate well to movies.

Yeah Batman has a good amount of villains that translate well to film, I just dont get why they keep going for joker all the time. Well i do know but, its stupid.
Same with Spiderman. He has a shit load of good villains but they always keep using green goblin. 👇

I like Red Skull. I prefer him to Loki, TBH.

Too bad he hasn't had much exposure in the MCU compared to Loki.

Red Skull wasn't NEARLY as scary or hateful as I felt he should have been, which is surprising, since Hugo Weaving was so great in The Matrix.

Thankfully, HYDRA made up for it in the second film.

It seems like all audiences WANT is The Joker. Look at TDKR. Bane was fantastic, but all people could say is "He's not The Joker".

But I suppose all of the Joker's have been really, really good, so I can understand why.

Wouldn't surprise me if Red Skull reappears in a future film.

Who is it I'm supposed to be a fanboy of, exactly? What point is it I'm trying to prove?

I get the feeling they're deliberately holding him back. His disappearing act shows me he may not even be in Infinity Wars part 1 but will reappear to batch stomp Thanos in part 2 while showing power vastly more than anything he's shown so far.

A movie being well made doesn't mean people automatically enjoy it though. I wasn't initially a fan of Cap1 either, but have warmed up to it more after really enjoying Cap2 and the Agent Carter series. Because now I think "well hey it all started with Cap1."

As for his power, I really wasn't a fan of
