After watching, I can completely understand why you're tapping out of the MCU. I partially did already, with not watching any of the latest shows (except for Secret Invasion). I'm so grateful for your MCU retrospectives as it helped me re-live everything I enjoyed, and also summarized what I missed from the shows I skipped. Either way, glad this video series introduced me to your channel!
@@SirYello I've actually been enjoying it quite a bit! I had decided to give it a try because it seemed to have a grittier tone, which was refreshing after the MCU's recent oversaturation of humor. So far I think it's been worth the watch.
@@SirYellono, nothing happens, plot expects people to forget the past events, skrulls are npcs basically, the villain is a big baby and Fury is continuously ruined
@@SirYello coming back to this after the last episode. the marvel disney + shows have been notorious for failing to stick the landings. secret invasion is no different. i loved the show through the first 5 episodes, and had been looking forward to the episode 6 finale. however, when I watched it, I was extremely disappointed. it once again became a CGI fest, and the ending was so rushed. it's such a shame because I really loved the show until the last episode.
@@ailsien.5738 that’s a shame, I still haven’t seen it since the first 2 episodes, was largely waiting for it all to be released, but now most of what I hear is negative reception towards the finale. Would you say it’s not worth watching overall after seeing its finale?
I'm so glad I discovered this series. Watching this part feels like graduating and moving away from my hometown, bittersweet. Grateful for the hours and hours you've put into these videos. It was a hell of a ride for the MCU :)
That's how I felt when I watched all four parts of the transformers retrospective, these retrospectives really grip me because they focus on all the details- it really gives me the nostalgia with this type of format, this MCU series especially-
okay but "scooby-doo this shit" is actually a pretty fire line to come from a frustrated Dr. Strange to Peter, it's built on Peter annoying the shit out of everyone by making all the pop culture references when they were in space
Just watched through the entire retrospective and loved it! A shame to see your MCU journey come to an end as your videos perfectly capture the anticipation leading to each film and TV series, but I can understand. While Phase 4 and the current beginning of Phase 5 have split audiences, I appreciated the experimentation with each entry. Whether that was for the best is entirely subjective to the viewer, but I’ll continue to watch the MCU as there is still no franchise that has been able to replicate this level of world building, interconnectivity, and characters that I have grown to love and invest in. But as Tony himself put it best: “Part of the journey is the end….”.
The first 4 episodes were really good but episode 5 was a downgrade and episode 6 was straight up terrible. Would’ve been an 8 or 9/10 if it kept the quality of the first few episodes up, but the shit finale dragged it down to a 6/10.
I like how you build hype up every movie/tv series before they're out, explaining them then telling how they actually turn out instead of foreshadowing how they goes. Pretty great
I just wanted to tell you that while I disagree with some of the things you said, and partially agree with other, I appreciated the time and obvious love you had into these retros. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law just frustrated me and I gave up long before the end. She is an attorney that demonstrates that she has nearly ZERO knowledge of the law and frequently breaks the law and her oath as a lawyer. I know the Marvel Universe assumes that we will take many leaps of faith, but when you mix in things that most viewers have a basic understanding of and them show the protagonist as incompetent in doing these things yet desires to be recognized for the skills that she doesn't demonstrate, I just have to check out.
Daredevil/ Matt Murdock also breaks many laws in his vigilante work. The difference is that he actually knows, understands, and struggles with it. Jennifer probably thinks she is above the law for being a lawyer. Hell, she probably isn't very certain what actions are , and are not, legal, given her displayed legal skills.
I haven't even watched yet but I know the next 3 hours of my life are going to be nostalgic and depressing... youre videos transport us back into the thrilss and disappointments of every phase. Phase 4... What a wild ride it's been. Let's goooo
The excitement I felt on seeing this in my feed. I've barely watched any of the phase 4 content because I'm Marveled out but very much looking forward to see your recaps.
@@frogurtcremebrulee5252 Oh I take everyone's opinion with a grain of salt. I was just fatigued and the stuff that I did see did not inspire a lot of confidence. Maybe after some time. When I'm removed from them, i can check them out again.
Please don’t quit the MCU Retrospective. I know it has its downs, but we need your documentation past “Avengers : Doomsday” and “Avengers : Secret Wars”
As an obsessive MCU fan, I fully respect your decision to step away from it now. It's getting hard to maintain hope that all these movies will come together in any sort of satisfying way, and that can be exhausting. Thanks for these wonderful retrospectives, they're full of passion and honesty and the wonder and excitement we all felt watching the movies be rolled out one by one. Can't wait to see what you do next!
this has been by far one of my favorite series on YT and I thank you for making these, how it is sad you won’t be doing them anymore, however you’ve earned yourself a fan and i’m excited for the next series
I love your retrospective videos! But I can tell by the tone of your voice and less instances of your “oh boy” that you’re so done with the MCU. I feel you completely! Hopefully the movies pick up in quality in the next phase so you can make another one of these videos!
I totally get that you're over it now, BUT I have to say it's refreshing to hear a retrospective form someone who is actually a fan. Not someone that just wants to watch whatever show or movie is hot, not one of the people that have strong-armmed their way into "nerd culture" but an honest to goodness fan. She Hulk wasn't the best programming of all time, but I liked it. Same for Hawkeye, i'd probably never rewatch those two shows but they were both cool. As with all real fans IMO im just grateful to see a live action rendition. Again, amazing job my G you killed it
As someone who's been with the MCU since the beginning and enjoyed it just as much now as I always have, it's sad to see you go. And especially see the completely different tone this video has from the previous ones. But I understand your exhaustion. It was really nice hearing you be so passionate about the MCU! I feel while the ride may be bumpy for now, I still have a good few more years in me. Who knows, maybe something will pull you back in at some point. Regardless, thank you for your heartfelt videos. And for your time loving the MCu with us! Goodluck on your future adventures!
Yeah I completely agree with your current take on the MCU. It’s getting super exhausting to keep up with these shows. I was wonder your take on the Sony side of stuff, with the spider-verse movies. Across the Spider-Verse has to be the best comic book thing to come out recently.
The thing i got from what you said about moon knight is "There is no good answer". Damned if you have action set pieces because its a super hero story and damned if you don't put them much to focus more on character. Supposed there IS a way to balance it out like how the 2 later cap films have the fights have more character driven meaning behind them other than "its time to duke it out" but these things are rarely written with that in mind.
Lost me at She Hulk. I just couldn't get into it. Trying to be serious and not... personally I just found myself looking at it more in disbelief that enjoyment... maybe I'm just not the target audience.
I’ve been excitedly anticipating this retrospective for two years, rewatching your last four and of course binging every other retrospective. I’m quite sad to hear this’ll be your last of the MCU, but I understand. Maybe they’ll turn it around and change your mind… Thanks for this three hours of A1 commentary!
Thanks for all the work you put into these retrospectives!! I've thoroughly enjoyed them and can't wait for whatever you do next. Hope to see more on the Mission: Impossible films, maybe when Dead Reckoning Part Two comes out. But I'll stick around for anything you make. Have a good one!
bro how come whenever i find series like this and think to myself: "oh, no way this will be continued its like 5 years old" IT DROPS AN EPISODE ON THE NEXT DAY
I tapped out until guardians of the galaxy 3, Loki 2 and then Deadpool and wolverine and now I’m just hyped for the next avengers movies especially secret wars. The fact that they are pulling back on the amount of content they are pushing out focusing more on the quality of work is a good first step
Cant wait to watch this. Friggin loved Phase 4, even if it had some minor issues. I think it’s just like the comics, a lot of different and unique stories that you can pick and choose from, you don’t have to watch all of them and that’s okay.
I’ve worked for CFA for almost 30yrs and always enjoyed looking at this Countach in the breezeway when I went to Corp HQ. I would drool over this, the Dousenberg, the Batmobile and the Delorean. I had always dreamed of finding that Countach when it disappeared after Truetts passing and then coming onto VinWiki to tell the story. Glad it was found, its story continues and it’s back in the family.
Thank you for your time, energy, and the special way you remind me of the hype and experience of each MCU entry. As you said, it is a LOT and honestly too difficult to even remember how I felt after each movie or show. While I'm not tapping out completely from the MCU, I do have a very different outlook and expectation for every project. Good luck to you and all your future videos!
Dude I love your retrospectives as a way of experiencing these massive franchises in.... less hours than doing the whole thing properly but good god this is exhausting
Amazing work, man. I’ve only seen a few Marvel movies and was never into it, but I watched every video in this series and feel like I got to experience the MCU in a kind of way. It also made me decide to watch all the BEST MCU movies for my first time. I’m actually excited to dive in. And I don’t have to worry about not understanding certain things because of your delightful series. Thank you!
This series of videos from:There Was An Idea" -to - The Multiverse Saga" should be required watching for comics / MCU / DC even StarWars fans......because ALL these videos MUST have been a labour of LOVE - otherwise you couldn't have even THOUGHT about such a series.....nevermind you actually deciding to take it on and do justice to the WHOLE FRANCHISE'....and giving ALL the love and attention to the detail..... You deserve some kind of recognition for this - I'm trying not to exaggerate! ANYWAY TOP WORK, THANKYOU MY GUY!
Dammm I was not ready for the announcement of no part 6. I’ve binged all 12 hours of this over the past few days and loved it, hopefully he changes his mind and makes a part 6, even bashing marvel, very entertaining
Every Christmas, I watch The Guardians Holiday Special, and play Wreckfest… that last part is a bit out of place. But seriously, hearing the music in the Holiday Special just makes me feel like if’s Christmas😊
Yeah, i pretty much checked out after Multiverse of Madness since it was very blatant that the production was troubled and because of the setbacks by the pandemic most of the movies either came out out of order and completely messed up the story they were trying to tell. I obviously came back for Spider-Man No Way Home and Guardians 3 and I absolutely loved both of them but I am not very excited about the future of marvel. Especially when they have told of the best stories in cinema already.
Another great retrospective. These are great to rewatch on an airplane or in hotel rooms, thanks for more entertainment than some of the content you cover!
I've binged all of your MCU retrospectives (and your retrospectives of some other film franchises) and I must say I'm so glad to see people enjoy something instead of simply shitting on it just for shitting sake - too many women/not enough women/too much CGI/not enough CGI/too many men/not enough men/this/that... Thank you for bringing some positivity to the internet, and reminding us that enjoying things is more fun than disliking them :)
Ok I've seen Guardians 3 and just finished the retrospective and the fact that we wont get a part 6 makes me so sad because I am one of the marvel fans who will continue watching. I totally understand he's feelings because even I agree. I think Disney+ was the worst thing for marvel and having the pandemic RIGHT after endgame really made the MCU feel over. I skip some stuff and wind up watching something on youtube to give me the important bits going forward (I didn't finish She-Hulk because I did not enjoy it and I never saw the Guardians Holiday Special). Being a fan of the MCU nowadays is "budgeting" which stuff you watch asap and which stuff you don't mind waiting on (or even just skip and "spoil" online).
I'm not sure Scarlet Witch's butchered character should be blamed on _WandaVision_ since it was Sam Raimi who didn't watch the series to see what material needed to be followed. Combined with extensive reshoots, it resulted in a total mess. On one hand, _Doctor Strange 2_ punishes those who didn't watch _WandaVision_ by tying in to the plot elements of convenience ("Wanda became a witch and had imaginary kids"), yet it does not reward those who did watch the series, because it doesn't follow the character development.
You are insane about MoonKnight.. why did you feel obligated? What in the world going into that show did you truly believe was going to tie in to everything else? It was an INTRO to a character. His own story. I knew that's what it would be.. I watched that show because I was SO pumped about seeing MoonKnight on the big screen.
For all the beast wars fans. In Eternals at the end we just wanted to hear it one time “I will return for judgement.” “Yeeeeeesssssssss” wish he would have said that.
It's such a shame that Agents of Shield still hasn't been made canon despite how amazing it is. I only hope it's announcement as canon will be soon and so mentioned in the next retrospective.
I do not normally watch three hour retrospectives, especially on movies and shows I actually watched. But since I was stuck inside because of the heat I decide to put it on initially as a background while I did some desk work and house cleaning. So here I am at the 2:48 minute mark and still at my desk. Quality work and your opinions are pretty much on the same page as mine and said in an entertaining and informative way. Thank you for this. I guess the cleaning can wait till tomorrow.
You should check out more retrospectives!! I find them so entertaining, whether I've seen the original series or not (and like you said, if anything they make for good background noise while doing other tasks)
Ik this is random but I am so happy that you properly pernounced Shang-chi's name,so many ppl say his name wrong and it pisses me off so bad bc the movie spends like 5 minutes explaining how uncreative he is for thinking he can hide from his dad with barely changing his name
1:58:00 This was established in the flashback where he enchants Mjolnir to protect Jane. He realizes in that moment he has the power to do more enchantments like that. Simple.
Makes me so sad I often feel like the only person that really loved Moon Knight. The sentiment some watched it only because they felt like they had to actually helps though. I would have watched it either way as it interests me, but it just wasn’t for a lot of people. Makes sense
Moon Knight was quite good and I do have it in my top three of the Marvel shows. Yes, it has its flaws, but it was still a great show. Episode five was absolutely fantastic and I love Taweret.
I didn’t like it because I was a fan of the moon knights comics and was kind of disappointed that they didn’t go with the darker toned vigilante story. Kevin Feige even said that it would be violent which it never was and they strayed his abilities so far where now he can FLY, like if you aren’t gonna make a show that is violent and dark about a character who is known for that then just don’t make it.
I found these video's by accident and im so happy. I got hooked with the LOTR's recap and now love them all. Truly impressive work putting these together and that voice over is perfect. great work. thanks.
I don't think I've ever cried in a cinema more than I did for GOTG Vol.3. I wanted to share it with people who hopped off the Marvel carousel years ago, but there is just a lot of water under the bridge, and it's only gonna increase
I'm old! Some of my greatest joys, and something I look forward to most in life, are new Marvel movies. Unlike you, I think the interconnectivity is a huge plus. It started with Agent Colsen in "Agents of Shield.". I really enjoyed this video and want to thank you for all your hard work. I'm not sure how you can walk away? As long as I'm alive, I'll be at every Marvel movie's new theatrical release. One thing you're missing is a shout out to Robert Downey Jr. and ALL the wonderful actors that have joined Marvel. Disney has been so effective at signing on the best. Actors like Kirk Douglas, Peter Lowrey, and James Mason in "10,000 Leagues Under the Sea" come to mind. I'll love Marvel till I die! Ms. Marvel and Kate Bishop are forming a new team full of fresh new faces. I think you'll be back for that one alone.
I guess im lucky with being someone who’s 45 turning 46 in a couple months I’ve grown up with the comics and movies and I haven’t felt the way all these guys are feeling I haven’t been let down by any movie or series by marvel but then agin I never go in with some crazy expectations I just go in to watch a movie and hope to enjoy my time
haven't even started watching yet but I'm so excited to watch it. can't believe part 5 came out only 2 weeks after I finished watching the other four parts.
You should at least watch secret invasion. Its easily the best quality marvel show, with the tone and vibe of winter soldier. Its filled with great character development and so far the first 3 episodes are amazing, and its pretty self contained. All you need to know is fury dusted, went to sword, and the events of captain marvel
I just binged this whole series and I love what you did it was awesome to look back at the good times and learn about behind the scene stuff I didn't know about. It's sad what the state of the MCU has become. I feel if they took a few years off and then came back with brand new characters and stories there might've been a chance of the MCU living on but now only thing to look forward to is Deadpool & Wolverine. I just hope that doesn't suck as much as some of the last films have.
You'll be back. I mean that with love. Great series that you have created. If Disney/Marvel had any integrity they'd pay you for your work and list this series unedited on Disney+.
Oooff, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like the MCU is a chore now. I kinda fell off with SpiderMan No Way Home, bc I feel like Dr Strange acts SO irrational and not in line with his character - and then in Doctor Strange's movie in which they completely destroyed Wanda? (Wanda was one of my favourite characters) And when Antman came out and everything was just a blurry, squishy slimy convoluted mess, I was out. Just no. Hard no. It doesn't feel good anymore. It doesn't feel exciting as when Iron Man hit the stage way back in the day. I chalked it up to me being salty that my all time favourite mcu character is now gone (Tony Stark) but seeing this made me realize that it's actually not only his presence that I miss. I miss the iconic-ness. The special-ness you had with the MCU back then. And a character that grips me as intense as TS when he opened the Infinity Saga. 🤷♀
Thank you for this video. It is done very well and you verbalize many of the feelings I had watching all of these movies. You really nailed it I think on how they looked , the writing, the characters, everything. Great effing job. Keep it up
Tbh i was far behind on content (mostly the shows). I was also kinda done after Endgame. But i saw your video and i thought: ah why not let me catch up on everything and then watch your video? Well... it just gave me a similar feeling you now have at the end. That watching these things feel like an obligation often with so many shows or movies you're not really hyped up for anymore... Knowing myself i will keep watching it and prob catch up every so often, but i really understand your decision. Especially if you have limited time in the day and have to choose what you want to watch. I really enjoyed Loki and Moon Knight as shows, and Guardians made me an emotional wreck. But the rest? Eh. I just miss the times of wonder and anticipation as a new superhero movie was coming out, and you would watch a 2 hour self-contained story that had great humor and action. Filled with some easter eggs or references to it's own property. Now you always get the question: "What do i have to watch to understand this movie?"/"Do i understand the movie if i haven't watched X?" And that is just disappointing in my opinion... How much of Iron Man did you have to watch to understand the Avengers movies? Not really any of them. Do you miss on stuff or emotional charge? Yes but you weren't confused or missing big story stuff. The only exception for this is Captain America i'm thinking of, with the Winter Soldier being pretty important for the character in Civil War and the leadup obviously. I just think that maybe there should have been more time between Infinity War and Endgame. Let the feeling of losing sink in. Use those 5 years for smaller stuff. Ronin show? Spiderman trying to keep order in a empty and prob chaotic New York City now? Beautiful timing for the Black Widow movie too. Maybe show how Fury's skrull unit are having trouble with losing many agents and Fury himself. Then you could beautifully show in a first season the descent of Gravik with season 2 picking up how season 1 now started. Anyway that's where i'll keep my ramblings, but i just wished the pace would be slower of everything. Take the time for rushed shows and don't rush to the "next big bad guy" because honestly, nothing is gonna top Thanos and the Infinity Saga for a long while, and that's okay. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into these videos, i love watching them for Marvel and the MI-franchise. Keep up the amazing work man!
Yes! Too many folks in entertainment (it's the suits- it's always the suits) ignore the biggest rules in storytelling. 1)show, don't tell, and 2)don't dumb down for your audience There was sooo much potential to explore during The Blip! They built up this fascinating new world, then decided not to show us any of it. They rushed into Endgame to build on the hype of Infinity War (I'm sure there are more reasons but still) when audiences would have been just as excited, as you said, if they had allowed the gravity of the Blip really be felt. It's just wild to me to have built up this awesome, tragic new world ripe for all new kinds of storytelling, and then just do Next to nothing with it.
This video and the series as a whole makes me kinda sad. I was 4 months old when the first iron man was released and of course you wouldn’t take a 4 month old to see iron man but with my parents both being fans marvel became a large part of my childhood. The first superhero movie I ever saw (other than the incredibles) was the Avengers. The first live action theatre experience I ever had was watching Guardians on opening night and it still is one of my favorite movies. I remember driving home from age of ultron and learning that I had to wait three years for infinity war and endgame, which along with the rest of phase 3 just solidified my fandom. But even though I considered my self to be a super fan at one point in time, watching all the Easter egg and spoiler videos and even reading a lot of comics in anticipation for infinity war, I’m kinda done with marvel. The disappointment I had from love and thunder and quantumania both of which I was really excited for, coupled with the satisfying conclusion to the guardians franchise has only reinforced this. I somewhat enjoyed the first captain marvel movie, but I have no investment in her or any character in the upcoming sequel. It will probably be the first marvel movie since like 2014 that I won’t see in the theatres. I’ll tune in for secret wars, and lang dynasty and probably cap 4 and Spider-Man 4 but I, like you and many others have lost my investment. Thank you for the opportunity to relive the golden age of the mcu. I’m doing an infinity saga rewatch and it helps to relive the great memories I had with these movies
1:05:54 Peter got his Batman voice goin lmao. I can’t help but notice the parallels to the insomniac Spider man game intro and the ending to this movie.
Ant-Man is my favorite MCU hero, and Quantumania was just...so disappointing because it didn't FEEL like an Ant-Man movie, and that was also the movie that made me go "yeah, I'm done" too.
I’m so glad I got to this point at endgame. I loved it and I knew it wasn’t going to be topped after. I watched Spider-Man and guardians as a epilogue, but skipped pretty much everything else besides loki.

As an obsessive MCU fan, I fully respect your decision to step away from it now. It's getting hard to maintain hope that all these movies will come together in any sort of satisfying way, and that can be exhausting. Thanks for these wonderful retrospectives, they're full of passion and honesty and the wonder and excitement we all felt watching the movies be rolled out one by one. Can't wait to see what you do next!
this has been by far one of my favorite series on YT and I thank you for making these, how it is sad you won’t be doing them anymore, however you’ve earned yourself a fan and i’m excited for the next series
Idk what it is about these videos but no other video style content keeps me hooked like these retrospective videos
I love your retrospective videos! But I can tell by the tone of your voice and less instances of your “oh boy” that you’re so done with the MCU. I feel you completely! Hopefully the movies pick up in quality in the next phase so you can make another one of these videos!
Shang chi had no reason being as much of a banger as it turned out to be.
but its totally forgotten in he MCU mess
Shang who? It was okay at best
The choreography was done by the guys who did all of Jackie Chan’s og scenes
Andrew Garfield shined the brightest of all of them in every scene he was in
I totally get that you're over it now, BUT I have to say it's refreshing to hear a retrospective form someone who is actually a fan. Not someone that just wants to watch whatever show or movie is hot, not one of the people that have strong-armmed their way into "nerd culture" but an honest to goodness fan. She Hulk wasn't the best programming of all time, but I liked it. Same for Hawkeye, i'd probably never rewatch those two shows but they were both cool. As with all real fans IMO im just grateful to see a live action rendition. Again, amazing job my G you killed it
Those people who armed their way into “nerd culture” literally made she hulk…
As someone who's been with the MCU since the beginning and enjoyed it just as much now as I always have, it's sad to see you go. And especially see the completely different tone this video has from the previous ones. But I understand your exhaustion. It was really nice hearing you be so passionate about the MCU! I feel while the ride may be bumpy for now, I still have a good few more years in me. Who knows, maybe something will pull you back in at some point. Regardless, thank you for your heartfelt videos. And for your time loving the MCu with us! Goodluck on your future adventures!
So glad you finally blessed us again grammar. Keep doing the hard work it’s paying off!!
This is such an under rated channel. RUclips should be pushing things like this more.
Yeah I completely agree with your current take on the MCU. It’s getting super exhausting to keep up with these shows. I was wonder your take on the Sony side of stuff, with the spider-verse movies. Across the Spider-Verse has to be the best comic book thing to come out recently.
The thing i got from what you said about moon knight is "There is no good answer".
Damned if you have action set pieces because its a super hero story and damned if you don't put them much to focus more on character.
Supposed there IS a way to balance it out like how the 2 later cap films have the fights have more character driven meaning behind them other than "its time to duke it out" but these things are rarely written with that in mind.
Lost me at She Hulk. I just couldn't get into it. Trying to be serious and not... personally I just found myself looking at it more in disbelief that enjoyment... maybe I'm just not the target audience.
Watching these MCU retrospect videos is like going trip down memory lane, Thank you for covering this prime's Theater.
Werewolf by Night is forever iconic!!! 🌕🎉
I’ve been excitedly anticipating this retrospective for two years, rewatching your last four and of course binging every other retrospective. I’m quite sad to hear this’ll be your last of the MCU, but I understand. Maybe they’ll turn it around and change your mind… Thanks for this three hours of A1 commentary!
the next MCU retrospective video is about to go HARD
You reminded me why I loved the MCU and I'm curious on how I'm gonna feel at the end of this video after my mixed opinion on phase 4
You can't leave us hanging! How do you feel?
Thanks for all the work you put into these retrospectives!! I've thoroughly enjoyed them and can't wait for whatever you do next. Hope to see more on the Mission: Impossible films, maybe when Dead Reckoning Part Two comes out. But I'll stick around for anything you make. Have a good one!
bro how come whenever i find series like this and think to myself: "oh, no way this will be continued its like 5 years old" IT DROPS AN EPISODE ON THE NEXT DAY
There are only a few RUclipsrs I watch that I'll leave a like even before the first round of adds have stopped playing. Love your content, Mr Prime.
I tapped out until guardians of the galaxy 3, Loki 2 and then Deadpool and wolverine and now I’m just hyped for the next avengers movies especially secret wars. The fact that they are pulling back on the amount of content they are pushing out focusing more on the quality of work is a good first step
Cant wait to watch this. Friggin loved Phase 4, even if it had some minor issues. I think it’s just like the comics, a lot of different and unique stories that you can pick and choose from, you don’t have to watch all of them and that’s okay.
There were more than just "minor issues"
Lmao😂😂😂😂😂 phase bore was trash apart from Now Way Home. All were garbage
@@EddieNgatia damn.....it's almost like he enjoyed it more than you. That sucks man.....for you
@@brettstalling2269he enjoys poorly written slop, like you lol
I’ve worked for CFA for almost 30yrs and always enjoyed looking at this Countach in the breezeway when I went to Corp HQ. I would drool over this, the Dousenberg, the Batmobile and the Delorean. I had always dreamed of finding that Countach when it disappeared after Truetts passing and then coming onto VinWiki to tell the story. Glad it was found, its story continues and it’s back in the family.
Thank you for your time, energy, and the special way you remind me of the hype and experience of each MCU entry. As you said, it is a LOT and honestly too difficult to even remember how I felt after each movie or show.
While I'm not tapping out completely from the MCU, I do have a very different outlook and expectation for every project.
Good luck to you and all your future videos!
Dude I love your retrospectives as a way of experiencing these massive franchises in.... less hours than doing the whole thing properly
but good god this is exhausting
"This" meaning the MCU?
Amazing work, man. I’ve only seen a few Marvel movies and was never into it, but I watched every video in this series and feel like I got to experience the MCU in a kind of way. It also made me decide to watch all the BEST MCU movies for my first time. I’m actually excited to dive in. And I don’t have to worry about not understanding certain things because of your delightful series. Thank you!
I definitely don't have time to watch all these again. Watching your work is the next best thing. Thank you
The goat is back!!!!!!
This series of videos from:There Was An Idea" -to - The Multiverse Saga" should be required watching for comics / MCU / DC even StarWars fans......because ALL these videos MUST have been a labour of LOVE - otherwise you couldn't have even THOUGHT about such a series.....nevermind you actually deciding to take it on and do justice to the WHOLE FRANCHISE'....and giving ALL the love and attention to the detail.....
You deserve some kind of recognition for this - I'm trying not to exaggerate!
ANYWAY TOP WORK,
THANKYOU MY GUY!
Seeing this in my recommendations made my weekend. I'm only 1/3 through, but this may be the best retrospective yet. Love this content
God She-Hulk was so bad. Even watching it through this video made me pause lol. This was a great video and series by the way!
Dammm I was not ready for the announcement of no part 6. I’ve binged all 12 hours of this over the past few days and loved it, hopefully he changes his mind and makes a part 6, even bashing marvel, very entertaining
Every Christmas, I watch The Guardians Holiday Special, and play Wreckfest… that last part is a bit out of place. But seriously, hearing the music in the Holiday Special just makes me feel like if’s Christmas😊
Another one lesgoooo!! I found u out last week and man I can't express how much i'm loving these videos
Edit: Yeah Coulson is always a win
Even though I don’t like you, I still agree that this video series is completely fucking badass
@johnjstamos3996 why does Uncle Jesse have beef with this random RUclipsr ?
Yeah, i pretty much checked out after Multiverse of Madness since it was very blatant that the production was troubled and because of the setbacks by the pandemic most of the movies either came out out of order and completely messed up the story they were trying to tell. I obviously came back for Spider-Man No Way Home and Guardians 3 and I absolutely loved both of them but I am not very excited about the future of marvel. Especially when they have told of the best stories in cinema already.
Another great retrospective. These are great to rewatch on an airplane or in hotel rooms, thanks for more entertainment than some of the content you cover!
I've binged all of your MCU retrospectives (and your retrospectives of some other film franchises) and I must say I'm so glad to see people enjoy something instead of simply shitting on it just for shitting sake - too many women/not enough women/too much CGI/not enough CGI/too many men/not enough men/this/that... Thank you for bringing some positivity to the internet, and reminding us that enjoying things is more fun than disliking them :)
Haven't seen GotG3 yet so I have to stop right at the end, but I will return! Prime of Grammar, your uploads are ones I always look forward to!
Ok I've seen Guardians 3 and just finished the retrospective and the fact that we wont get a part 6 makes me so sad because I am one of the marvel fans who will continue watching. I totally understand he's feelings because even I agree. I think Disney+ was the worst thing for marvel and having the pandemic RIGHT after endgame really made the MCU feel over. I skip some stuff and wind up watching something on youtube to give me the important bits going forward (I didn't finish She-Hulk because I did not enjoy it and I never saw the Guardians Holiday Special). Being a fan of the MCU nowadays is "budgeting" which stuff you watch asap and which stuff you don't mind waiting on (or even just skip and "spoil" online).
since the success of the deadpool wolverine movie, i hope you create this same thing for the current movie that we have this 2024
You should do a retrospective on the Planet of the Apes reboot films, rise-war. It’s one the best trilogies of all time.
I'm not sure Scarlet Witch's butchered character should be blamed on _WandaVision_ since it was Sam Raimi who didn't watch the series to see what material needed to be followed. Combined with extensive reshoots, it resulted in a total mess. On one hand, _Doctor Strange 2_ punishes those who didn't watch _WandaVision_ by tying in to the plot elements of convenience ("Wanda became a witch and had imaginary kids"), yet it does not reward those who did watch the series, because it doesn't follow the character development.
This was a comprehensive masterpiece
You said it ONE inciteful line of comment...than I did in untold words !
So glad you exist to make these vids. Even in years to come as a subscriber if you made a 10-hour retrospective id make time to watch
Out of all the things I was expecting today, I wasn’t expecting this
I hit like before watching just for the sheer amount of effort you poured into editing together this series!
You are insane about MoonKnight.. why did you feel obligated? What in the world going into that show did you truly believe was going to tie in to everything else? It was an INTRO to a character. His own story. I knew that's what it would be.. I watched that show because I was SO pumped about seeing MoonKnight on the big screen.
For all the beast wars fans. In Eternals at the end we just wanted to hear it one time “I will return for judgement.”
“Yeeeeeesssssssss” wish he would have said that.
It's such a shame that Agents of Shield still hasn't been made canon despite how amazing it is. I only hope it's announcement as canon will be soon and so mentioned in the next retrospective.
Agreed, the show got better and better with every new season. I wish more MCU fans had watched it.
I do not normally watch three hour retrospectives, especially on movies and shows I actually watched. But since I was stuck inside because of the heat I decide to put it on initially as a background while I did some desk work and house cleaning. So here I am at the 2:48 minute mark and still at my desk. Quality work and your opinions are pretty much on the same page as mine and said in an entertaining and informative way. Thank you for this. I guess the cleaning can wait till tomorrow.
You should check out more retrospectives!! I find them so entertaining, whether I've seen the original series or not (and like you said, if anything they make for good background noise while doing other tasks)
Ik this is random but I am so happy that you properly pernounced Shang-chi's name,so many ppl say his name wrong and it pisses me off so bad bc the movie spends like 5 minutes explaining how uncreative he is for thinking he can hide from his dad with barely changing his name
Fantastic video. It took me 2 days to finish it and it was worth it. Thank you!
1:58:00
This was established in the flashback where he enchants Mjolnir to protect Jane. He realizes in that moment he has the power to do more enchantments like that. Simple.
Copium is real
Makes me so sad I often feel like the only person that really loved Moon Knight. The sentiment some watched it only because they felt like they had to actually helps though. I would have watched it either way as it interests me, but it just wasn’t for a lot of people. Makes sense
Dont be sad! Moon Knight is a fun show. :D Got another fan of the show here. ^^
me too lol
Moon Knight was quite good and I do have it in my top three of the Marvel shows. Yes, it has its flaws, but it was still a great show. Episode five was absolutely fantastic and I love Taweret.
I didn’t like it because I was a fan of the moon knights comics and was kind of disappointed that they didn’t go with the darker toned vigilante story. Kevin Feige even said that it would be violent which it never was and they strayed his abilities so far where now he can FLY, like if you aren’t gonna make a show that is violent and dark about a character who is known for that then just don’t make it.
I found these video's by accident and im so happy. I got hooked with the LOTR's recap and now love them all. Truly impressive work putting these together and that voice over is perfect. great work. thanks.
Literally just binged your first ones last week. Cheers.
Great work and series 🖖
I don't think I've ever cried in a cinema more than I did for GOTG Vol.3. I wanted to share it with people who hopped off the Marvel carousel years ago, but there is just a lot of water under the bridge, and it's only gonna increase
I 100 % agree with everything in this video and the ending is definitely spot on. Love the videos
I'm old! Some of my greatest joys, and something I look forward to most in life, are new Marvel movies. Unlike you, I think the interconnectivity is a huge plus. It started with Agent Colsen in "Agents of Shield.".
I really enjoyed this video and want to thank you for all your hard work. I'm not sure how you can walk away? As long as I'm alive, I'll be at every Marvel movie's new theatrical release.
One thing you're missing is a shout out to Robert Downey Jr. and ALL the wonderful actors that have joined Marvel. Disney has been so effective at signing on the best. Actors like Kirk Douglas, Peter Lowrey, and James Mason in "10,000 Leagues Under the Sea" come to mind.
I'll love Marvel till I die! Ms. Marvel and Kate Bishop are forming a new team full of fresh new faces. I think you'll be back for that one alone.
I guess im lucky with being someone who’s 45 turning 46 in a couple months I’ve grown up with the comics and movies and I haven’t felt the way all these guys are feeling I haven’t been let down by any movie or series by marvel but then agin I never go in with some crazy expectations I just go in to watch a movie and hope to enjoy my time
Interesting. I think most people agree the MCU has been dropping in quality. So I guess you're the target audience they're trying to reach now lol
i'd have to give a thumbs up even before watching this "3 hour" long video. thanks for the effort.
I love these vids. I think I've watched your entire Transformers ones like 3 or 4 times now. 😀
“Sandman is returned to archival footage from Spiderman 3” had me dying 😂
haven't even started watching yet but I'm so excited to watch it. can't believe part 5 came out only 2 weeks after I finished watching the other four parts.
Over 3hours?! I’m so excited. Love your MCU retrospectives!
If it starts getting good again do you think you can come back 3:02:24
Very well done
You should at least watch secret invasion. Its easily the best quality marvel show, with the tone and vibe of winter soldier. Its filled with great character development and so far the first 3 episodes are amazing, and its pretty self contained. All you need to know is fury dusted, went to sword, and the events of captain marvel
I just binged this whole series and I love what you did it was awesome to look back at the good times and learn about behind the scene stuff I didn't know about. It's sad what the state of the MCU has become. I feel if they took a few years off and then came back with brand new characters and stories there might've been a chance of the MCU living on but now only thing to look forward to is Deadpool & Wolverine. I just hope that doesn't suck as much as some of the last films have.
You'll be back. I mean that with love. Great series that you have created. If Disney/Marvel had any integrity they'd pay you for your work and list this series unedited on Disney+.
great work, remembering the guardians galaxy bringme tears, this is a great historical piece
Oooff, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like the MCU is a chore now.
I kinda fell off with SpiderMan No Way Home, bc I feel like Dr Strange acts SO irrational and not in line with his character - and then in Doctor Strange's movie in which they completely destroyed Wanda? (Wanda was one of my favourite characters)
And when Antman came out and everything was just a blurry, squishy slimy convoluted mess, I was out.
Just no. Hard no.
It doesn't feel good anymore. It doesn't feel exciting as when Iron Man hit the stage way back in the day.
I chalked it up to me being salty that my all time favourite mcu character is now gone (Tony Stark) but seeing this made me realize that it's actually not only his presence that I miss.
I miss the iconic-ness. The special-ness you had with the MCU back then.
And a character that grips me as intense as TS when he opened the Infinity Saga.
🤷♀
Thank you for this video. It is done very well and you verbalize many of the feelings I had watching all of these movies. You really nailed it I think on how they looked , the writing, the characters, everything. Great effing job. Keep it up
Hell yeah, I watched last 4 parts last month and It was such a great experience.
This video is so good i ve been watching avery single day, i waish u got more subcribers bc you deserve it
I always love when you post these retrospectives. Any chance you would ever do a DCEU one in the future?
Tbh i was far behind on content (mostly the shows). I was also kinda done after Endgame. But i saw your video and i thought: ah why not let me catch up on everything and then watch your video?
Well... it just gave me a similar feeling you now have at the end. That watching these things feel like an obligation often with so many shows or movies you're not really hyped up for anymore...
Knowing myself i will keep watching it and prob catch up every so often, but i really understand your decision. Especially if you have limited time in the day and have to choose what you want to watch.
I really enjoyed Loki and Moon Knight as shows, and Guardians made me an emotional wreck. But the rest? Eh.
I just miss the times of wonder and anticipation as a new superhero movie was coming out, and you would watch a 2 hour self-contained story that had great humor and action. Filled with some easter eggs or references to it's own property.
Now you always get the question: "What do i have to watch to understand this movie?"/"Do i understand the movie if i haven't watched X?"
And that is just disappointing in my opinion... How much of Iron Man did you have to watch to understand the Avengers movies? Not really any of them. Do you miss on stuff or emotional charge? Yes but you weren't confused or missing big story stuff.
The only exception for this is Captain America i'm thinking of, with the Winter Soldier being pretty important for the character in Civil War and the leadup obviously.
I just think that maybe there should have been more time between Infinity War and Endgame. Let the feeling of losing sink in. Use those 5 years for smaller stuff. Ronin show? Spiderman trying to keep order in a empty and prob chaotic New York City now? Beautiful timing for the Black Widow movie too. Maybe show how Fury's skrull unit are having trouble with losing many agents and Fury himself. Then you could beautifully show in a first season the descent of Gravik with season 2 picking up how season 1 now started.
Anyway that's where i'll keep my ramblings, but i just wished the pace would be slower of everything. Take the time for rushed shows and don't rush to the "next big bad guy" because honestly, nothing is gonna top Thanos and the Infinity Saga for a long while, and that's okay.
Thanks for putting so much time and effort into these videos, i love watching them for Marvel and the MI-franchise. Keep up the amazing work man!
Yes! Too many folks in entertainment (it's the suits- it's always the suits) ignore the biggest rules in storytelling. 1)show, don't tell, and 2)don't dumb down for your audience
There was sooo much potential to explore during The Blip! They built up this fascinating new world, then decided not to show us any of it. They rushed into Endgame to build on the hype of Infinity War (I'm sure there are more reasons but still) when audiences would have been just as excited, as you said, if they had allowed the gravity of the Blip really be felt.
It's just wild to me to have built up this awesome, tragic new world ripe for all new kinds of storytelling, and then just do Next to nothing with it.
This video and the series as a whole makes me kinda sad. I was 4 months old when the first iron man was released and of course you wouldn’t take a 4 month old to see iron man but with my parents both being fans marvel became a large part of my childhood. The first superhero movie I ever saw (other than the incredibles) was the Avengers. The first live action theatre experience I ever had was watching Guardians on opening night and it still is one of my favorite movies. I remember driving home from age of ultron and learning that I had to wait three years for infinity war and endgame, which along with the rest of phase 3 just solidified my fandom. But even though I considered my self to be a super fan at one point in time, watching all the Easter egg and spoiler videos and even reading a lot of comics in anticipation for infinity war, I’m kinda done with marvel. The disappointment I had from love and thunder and quantumania both of which I was really excited for, coupled with the satisfying conclusion to the guardians franchise has only reinforced this. I somewhat enjoyed the first captain marvel movie, but I have no investment in her or any character in the upcoming sequel. It will probably be the first marvel movie since like 2014 that I won’t see in the theatres. I’ll tune in for secret wars, and lang dynasty and probably cap 4 and Spider-Man 4 but I, like you and many others have lost my investment. Thank you for the opportunity to relive the golden age of the mcu. I’m doing an infinity saga rewatch and it helps to relive the great memories I had with these movies
Hell yeah! Thank you for making this!
1:05:54 Peter got his Batman voice goin lmao. I can’t help but notice the parallels to the insomniac Spider man game intro and the ending to this movie.
Man am I excited to see this pop up!
Ant-Man is my favorite MCU hero, and Quantumania was just...so disappointing because it didn't FEEL like an Ant-Man movie, and that was also the movie that made me go "yeah, I'm done" too.
I’m so glad I got to this point at endgame. I loved it and I knew it wasn’t going to be topped after. I watched Spider-Man and guardians as a epilogue, but skipped pretty much everything else besides loki.
fucking same
