She must pay for that kind of exposure...

I thought she was supposed to be a ban-worthy offense on this board since early May.

Chakor you know we can't stop the Beast. Eventually we just fade away like Crows did. I wonder if everyone is gone due to the Thano's finger snap?
I like how we all seem to have a favorite avenger in the MCU and a corresponding film that we hate because of how it treated said character.
Khev hates the original Avengers because of Cap's awful costume.
JAWS hates AoU because of Hulk getting his *** kicked.
SNIKT hates Homecoming because Spider-Man was a teenager and not a hard-R mature adult.
I hate Thor 3 because of Thor being a stupid comedian.
And jye hates BP because it wasn't directed by Michael Bay.
That signature...
W... T... F...
Oh no no no no no… While I do hate that Hulk gets his *** kicked.. Its more that he gets nothing to do besides that scene.. I mean the Hulk vs. Hulk buster is the highlight of the film...
My issue with the AOU is that the rest of it is trash IMO... Villain is awful the final battle was boring... So many cringe inducing moments.. Its a bad film and still tied with IM3 as Marvels worst for me.
I mean give hulk a bit more to do and obviously I would like it a bit more. Just give his a couple of great Hulk moments like in the first Avengers film.. But the same could be said for all the hero's. Cap has some good moments but nothing to write home about (His best is tearing the wood apart). Thor is his usual pre Thor 3 boring self, and Iron Man is at his most forgettable.
And again the villain and his drones were just awful. They may as well have been toasters... I know that the original and IW have expendable Aliens but at least you know they feel pain so it means more when a punch lands.
Blah..
If I hated a Avengers film solely because Hulk got his *** kicked then I would hate IW... I mean he gets his *** licked and never appears again.. Yet it may be my fav Marvel film.
AOU is just trash.
I was not aware that Thor was your fav hero.. Let me go back and tell you again why I liked Thor 3 more now with a bit more explanation.
I already told you earlier that I thought they made his character more interesting and its weird to go back and watch the earlier films and see what a dud he is..
But I think I give Thor 3 more of a pass not because of Thor in that film but because of what Thor was in IW. That character had much more in common with the Thor 3 character then the other Thor films.. So that is why I give Thor 3 more credit then I did before. Also Thanos took out the ship and turned Thor 3 into a downer
Basically IW made Thor 3 a better movie

I never intended for my sentence to mean that you hated the film *solely* because Hulk got his *** kicked, I just listed it that way because I remembered that being one of the primary reasons for your dislike. So my apologies if anything was taken the wrong way.
Also I was absolutely *not* defending AoU by any means because most of what you just said are reasons as to why I also heavily dislike the film. Back when it came out I enjoyed it for what it was and thought it was an OK popcorn movie, but on repeat viewings it just gets worse and worse every time. It really is one of few straight-up trash MCU films. The only great scene was when Vision destroyed the last Ultron drone IMO.
I thought my sig kind of gave it away.

I loved what they did with Thor in IW but what made me hate Thor 3 is that Chris Hemsworth didn't want to play Thor nor did the audience want Thor, so instead they gave us Chris Hemsworth playing himself as an awful comedian which totally butchered Thor's great character arc in that film. IW is almost exactly what I wanted out of Thor 3 which is why I do give the Russos credit where credit is due. I really liked Thor in the first movie and even in Avengers, but in Thor 2 they turned him into the epitome of a generic superhero character and in AoU he was just there. That ultimately lead to Marvel panicking and churning out a glorified SNL skit which they knew everyone could sit back and laugh at.
Calling it better in retrospect because of IW is fair, although I always try to judge movies on their own and on its own Thor 3 is still the biggest waste of potential in superhero history (if not, then it is definitely one of the most overrated IMO). So much great concept art almost totally gone to waste. Imagine how great that film could have been had the Russos been the directors.
And before I get comments on my avatar, that is meant to go along with my sig making fun of the movie.
Yeah I liked how he was portrayed in DD Season 2. The rooftop scene where he had DD chained up played out much better than in the Garth Ennis comic IMO. That'd be so great to see DD or Punisher in the MCU but alas it sounds like Disney just won't force to the two divisions to play nice together.

Ok now that 10/31 has come and gone time for my MCU rant in a Halloween movie thread lol
Yes I agree with JAWS that IW made Thor 3 better but not just Thor 3 because rising tides raise all ships therefore it actually elevated all of the MCU and AOU even more so than the others.
Thor 3 can’t be made better by IW but then AOU was made worse?
That like makes no sense lol

Yeah every previous MCU film that made even the slightest whisper in reference to Infinity Stones is now elevated after IW, AOU included, lol.
If a movie is good on its own then it's still good even if it's followed by a bad sequel, and if a movie fails on its own then it fails period.
AOU was disappointing at the time but after-the-fact and in the context of everything else it's a fine watch. It's like when you binge watch a TV show and find it better than it was when you had to wait another week for the next episode.

Thor needed the improvement but Stark and Strange are benefiting just as much from IW.
AOU is nowhere the level of lameness Black Panther was but even BP improved post IW.
AOU has a bad *** Cap.
BP doesn’t have a bad *** T’Challa (CW does).

Anyone who still thinks AoU is anything special needs a refresher:
Oh, and BP waterfall fights >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> every second of AoU

I still don't think it's ''special'', I'm just saying I can enjoy it apart from a silly gag here and there.
Yep, series context definitely plays a part. Look how many people have written off TFA due to it's connection to TLJ. On the flip side AOU has been elevated by the films that followed as has been TIH due to a renewed link to the newer films via the expanded importance of William Hurt's General Ross character.
On it's own Ragnarok is a self-contained and silly "He-Man cartoon"-style adventure but has a completely different vibe post-IW.
