For the earlier debate about Hemsworth and the Thor films, I actually think he plays the character fairly well. While I was skeptical about his first film when it was announced (And as bad as you might think it is, I thought it was going to be ten times worse and completely tank at the box office) I was also excited because he's got one of the richest casts in the MCU to pull from. And he's the Avenger that really has that fantasy element to him, because he doesn't focus on science, but rather delves into mythology and magic. Had they handled his films differently, with far less time on Earth they could've had something really epic. Not to say that it would equal other fantasy stories like the Lord of the Rings now
I mean we just have to be real with ourselves, that wasn't going to happen. But a Thor trilogy still could've taken its place as a memorable fantasy series.
Jackman's Wolverine trilogy is another one that had a lot of potential, but failed to live up to it. Now the Fantastic 4 is another story entirely and I always thought that would fail, but i've also never liked the team to begin with.
It's an origin because it's the first introduction of the character in the MCU,isn't that how it works? It sure as hell wasn't a sequel to that Ang Lee garbage
No. Batman Begins, First Avenger, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Man of Steel, all of those are specifically origin films as they begin, literally, at the point of the character's origin as a superhero. You see where they are before gaining their powers and then you see them gaining their powers, or abilities in the case of Batman who doesn't have any powers. All of those stories are the
first adventures for those characters. Incredible Hulk begins after Bruce has already gone through the entire process of becoming the Hulk, completely glosses over the mental reasons for him doing so, and then takes place after however many other incidents that see him having fled the country. Incredible Hulk is beginning in the middle of an adventure for all intents and purposes.
Yall dudes are bugging.
