[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 426842, member: 5079"] [USER=23]@Mel O'Drama[/USER] I presume you haven't been keeping up with the MCU. WIth Phase Six just underway, I realized I skipped nearly all of Phase Five. Of the six theatrical films, I watched only three -- one I disliked, the other two were fine but with big caveats. (ANT-MAN; GOTGv3; DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, respectively). I also skipped every TV series of Phase Five, including the latest season of DAREDEVIL. So it's a bit of a relief that Phase Six is off to a solid start. FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is a solid change of pace. It's not a great film and I think it would only be in the top half of my MCU ranking, but it course-corrects a lot of the cumulative problems with the MCU. It's pleasantly amusing, rather than desperately funny, and has a strong retro-optimistic vibe that I consider essential to the genre. (The recent SUPERMAN film was much the same, harkening back to the first Christopher Reeve film in tone and intention.) [/QUOTE]
