#maybe its just me bein a music geek but the vast majority of the mcu soundtracks are....very very generic

[scattered-winter]

the only mcu movie I can think of right off the top of my head that was genuinely enjoyable to me (and still is no matter how many times I rewatch it) was black panther. the story is still pretty generic in the sense that The Protagonist has a Bad Guy with Personal Connections that he has to fight, but the thing that made BP so interesting was that the villain wasn't just fascinating, he was right. and unlike so many other superhero movies that would have ignored the very real, very valid points that the antagonist offered for the sake of The Protagonist always, always needing to be right, Black Panther offered a very interesting narrative where The Protagonist saw the angatonist's point, and realized what he was ultimately trying to do (help people the way wakanda is very much equipped to do) and decided that yes, he had the right idea. instead of stubbornly clinging to his ideas of right and wrong, T'challa changed up the status quo and actually did something to prevent something like what happened to Killmonger ever happening to anyone else again. from a writing standpoint, it was a very interesting narrative that, in my opinion, made the movie so much more nuanced and fascinating than a lot of other mcu movies. I just wish that more of Marvel's writers cared less about money and hype and cared more about actually.....writing a good story

(it should be mentioned that I haven't read any black panther comics, so I was just looking at this from the standpoint of someone who's only ever seen the movie lol)

Like, I can *live* with all the things the MCU messed up, I can move on and just say it’s not that good. But it’s incredibly annoying how it twists the general opinion of the characters.

Loki is apparently everyone’s favorite sad boy who dates an alternate version of himself.

Scarlet Witch is a character who’s been Romani and Jewish for years, her parents were holocaust survivors for crying out loud, but now people only think of her as the white washed character who joined a nazi organization.

Clint is a deaf character with serious attachment issues but now he’s just Mr. family man.

Spider-Man is, well, Spider-Man. But now he’s Iron Man Jr, and has a awesome high tech suit instead of Peter taking the weekends to sew its holes together.

The Hulk is a meme now and not a suicidal man with DID.

I’m just… really worried about what their portrayal of Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight might do to the characters.
