Wow! All these characters in the one film! But what’s different? It’s another 140 minute mindless action sequence without depth and a predictable, basic story. Like most Marvel movies and what Infinity War is going to be, it was a gimmick crafted to create hype. The three films leading up to The Avengers couldn’t make up their minds on whether they wanted to be their own thing or set up The Avengers and they were all so incredibly dull, poorly thrown together and messy because of it.

The day Iron Man 2 was released was the day when mainstream cinema started to, well, suck. It's hard to create compelling cinema when your main intentions involve lame jokes, colours, mind numbing action and having to set up universes instead of character progression, substance, etc. What does Marvel have? The Thor movies? Please. But they had complex themes, inventive stories and the characters were constantly emotionally and mentally tested to balance out their light-heartedness. The Star Wars trilogy, Raiders, Back To The Future, etc. The whole "It’s Saturday night and I’m at home with my mates with a couple boxes of pizza, what’s on NetFlix that we can mindlessly entertain ourselves with until we decide that we're all bored and would rather play Call Of Duty?" thing that a lot of modern day action movies and Will Ferrell comedies exist for. The sense of fake enthusiasm, the lack of grittiness and the lack of sincerity is what gets me. To be fair, I hate most movies that only exist to be lightweight, joyful fluff and meaningless light-heartedness. It's hard believe a franchise that only exists to bring joy and happiness and for the viewer to see an action spectacle where the good guys triumph in the end can be so negative on the film industry. Almost like a computer programmed to inflict emotion on its viewers but because you’re given no reason to be emotionally invested everything comes off as forced and awkward. Like it was tested a thousand times before it was released. Except, most Marvel movies are so generic and "been there, done there" in its story, so emotionless and so CGI heavy that it feels almost unnatural to watch. Not all art has to be serious or angst or complex or anything.

That said, you may have noticed that the same logo is on the helicopter Wanda finds in Episode 2, as well as on the outfit of the beekeeper who appears at the end of that same episode.Marvel is a special kind of awful. was created by Joss Whedon, the director of the first two Avengers movies, during his run in the mid-2000s writing Astonishing X-Men.) A good guess might be that the mission of this group has been redefined for the MCU, but we don’t have much to go on yet. The one clue is the symbol next to the monitor-it looks like a logo for S.W.O.R.D., which is a secret governmental organization in Marvel’s comic books that’s like S.H.I.E.L.D.

The first episode’s scenes of Wanda using her powers to make dishes fly around the kitchen also has a strong whiff of the “I married a witch” classic Bewitched, which the series makes explicit with the animated opening credits of Episode 2.ĭo we have any idea who the person is who’s watching them at the end of the first episode?

(Fred Melamed’s boss, meanwhile, looks like Richard Deacon’s put-upon Mel Cooley, but acts more like Carl Reiner’s imperious and little-seen boss.) The peppy plot summary of the first episode’s theme tune owes a lot to The Patty Duke Show, and the Kafkaesque nature of Vision’s job at “Computational Services,” where no one can seem to explain exactly what it is they compute, is right out of Billy Wilder’s movie classic The Apartment. The scene when Vision ushers his boss through the door of his house and into the living room looks like a direct homage to The Dick Van Dyke Show’s opening credits, and the sight of a frazzled Wanda trying to cook dinner for her unexpected guests recalls the episode where Mary Tyler Moore rustles up dinner for her in-laws while she’s high on pep pills.

Which classic sitcoms are they referencing? I got an I Love Lucy vibe.Įlizabeth Olsen’s frazzled housewife in the first episode does owe a lot to Lucille Ball, but the biggest reference point seems to be The Dick Van Dyke Show, the first great workplace sitcom.
