The most overrated Avengers cast

  1. Tom Hiddleston
  2. Chris Hemsworth
  3. Hugo Weaving
  4. Michael Douglas
  5. Mark Ruffalo
  6. Chris Pratt
  7. Christopher Eccleston
  8. Paul Rudd

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a only a cash grab and isn't the best of anything

It's not the best of Marvel.
It's not the best of the directors.
It's not the best of any of the actors.
It's not the best of anything.

Outside of Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Big Hero 6, the franchise has been an artistic failure. Avengers is a pale 9/11 exploitation and poor copy of the original Marvel comics, an industry failed financially and a company failed artistically till last year.

Outside of Jon Favreau, and Robert Downey Jr, who really broke out in Iron Man. Heck, Batista was better in his WWE feuds than in Marvel:

  • They killed of the Jeff Bridges, despite such a talented actor and being such a good character in comparison to the rest of the rushed Marvel Avengers timeline characters.
  • They killed off Mickey Rourke's contract, probably due to his work ethic and salary claims.
  • Tom Hiddleston has sold his soul to be in Thor, in comparison to better films such as War Horse and the Deep Blue Sea. Him being compared to the Joker is a complete insult to American intelligence.
  • Mark Ruffalo has worked on Zodiac, Margaret, and get praised for his green shit role as the Hulk for some odd reason, despite previously having a more topical Fight Club mainstay Edward Norton playing the main character in the previous incarnation. Edward Norton was better in the 90s.
  • Zoe Saldana is still working off the wings of Avatar and Star Trek.
  • Elizabeth Olsen still hasn't overcome Martha Marcy May Marlene's success.

They have friggin comedy characters and Chun-Li Mulan playing main character in the awful TV show, Agents of SHIELD.

I don't even want to ask about Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd.

Joss Whedon's non-Marvel work is way superior.
Joe Johnson's ok. The failure of the Captain America storyline wasn't his fault and his film was enjoyable.

DareDevil is no better than Gotham and Man of Steel, failed dark imitations of the Dark Knight, which Marvel fans who supposedly loved Avengers don't even want.

The best Mark Ruffalo films

  1. Shutter Island
  2. Margaret
  3. Zodiac
  4. The Kids are All Right
  5. In the Cut
  6. Wind Talker
  7. Collateral
  8. Where the Wild Things Are

The best Chris Evans films


  1. Snowpiercer
  2. Puncture
  3. Captain America: First Avenger
  4. Not Another Teen Movie

The tropes of the Avengers (2012)

I'll say a lot of stuff about Avengers:
It's overrated, unoriginal, has a horribly written and forgotten protagonist, etc..

But it does have one thing: tropes.
Unoriginal tropes that were done 60 years ago or whatever by Stan Lee, but tropes nonetheless.

Captain America: the human soldier who trusts in the good guys. In Captain America: The First Avenger, he suffered from asthma when he was younger, prior to becoming a super athlete
Iron Man: The man with bootleg Joker's brain. In Iron Man, he's egotistic. Don't quite know what he is in this film.
Also, Martyr ii, looks and flies like Superman, star of the show, saves the world by nuking another.
Thor: The European muscle and the brother of the bootleg Joker
Agent Coulson: the human, the victim, the martyr.
Agent Maria Hill: The romantic comedy beauty turned action hero rookie
Black Widow: the spy, who isn't Russian for whatever reason.
Hawkeye: the mind controlled assassin
and we have a HULK, you don't like it when he's angry.

Loki: the bootleg Joker that both Kenneth Branagh, Joss Whedon and whoever Dark Elves Loki didn't create a consistent character for.
Chitari warship, the only good part of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, good CGI muscle with tons of animation. The Star Destroyer. The Super Star Destroyer. Etc..

DareDevil Netflix Episode 2 Review

Something I forgot to mention about the first episode is that the Kingpin's people use children to persuade parents to control them, which is interesting since it parallels DareDevil's origin. And realistically others should stand up for the Kingpin.

In this episode, the kid really explains Braille in a believable manner as if he was taught. Dad Murdock sounds like a legit tough boxer guy. What I really wanted in this series that episode 1 was missing.

However in present day, we don't know how much power the Kingpin has over the police, or why these families who don't really seem to be of poor origin :cough cough: a nurse and a white collar adult with gambling problems.

There's also a torture scene in this episode, which really makes no sense, because this nurse should have some sort of conscience before telling a blind person to commit illegal Nazi surgery to find out where a little kid is.
Also, DareDevil is alone, whereas there's all these parents that need someone to take care of their kids. Maybe he can team up with the parents to take over as a neighborhood watch for their kids, opposed to just letting their children play in the middle of a public playground where every gangster, who looks very clean and ungrimy, can see, video tape them and put it on live stream to put shit in the parents' pants.
