Avengers Assemble! discussion

It's not bad, but it it's not wonderful.
It's juggling alot and I'm not sure how well it did it.

I like the ensemble feel, and appreciate a lot of the ideas it's working with, but I think it stumbles around a lot and doesn't entirely earn some emotional moments.

We can do spoilers after more people get a chance to see it.

Other happy thought: We now have all three original Defenders in the MCU.

Doubt they'll do anything with it, but just the thought of it makes me happy.

It wasn't a bad film. I just felt it would have been a great deal better if T'Chala was in it. He should have been recasted. That's my opinion. But the cast really had great performances. I still think there was no purpose for the Riri character and her conclusion made the plot feel a little silly. I felt that the revealing of the vibranium nation of Wakanda to the world was a good enough reason of the aquatic nation of Namor which also had vibranium to want to silence or threaten the kingdom of Wakanda.

I think that there were two things that came before the plot, as far as importance;
1. Honor Chadwick Boseman - which was done well
2. Introduce new characters, such as Namor and Riri... like Doctor Strange bringing America Chavez in... instead of getting their own story, new characters are made to fit into the existing...

It's good, not great, but between covid filming and dealing with the loss of Chadwick, the fact that it's not a train wreck is a small miracle and for that I will cut it a lot of slack.

I thought it was pretty good. better then some of the other stuff they put out in phase 4
