…Okay, that sounded better in my head. The problem is, it also looks a lot filthier on the screen like that, which is perversely making me keep the title. GeekTyrant:
Disney and Marvel’s latest, The Marvels, was a fun time at the movies, but it unfortunately didn’t do so well at the box office, which is kind of on par with superhero flicks at the moment. Some say it’s superhero fatigue, some say it’s the studio’s choice of quantity over quality, some may even say that movies haven’t completely rebounded from the setbacks from the pandemic, and while it may be a mix of everything, no one is saying it’s because there aren’t enough executives involved, at least no one besides Disney CEO Bob Iger.
The people who write for GeekTyrant are even more enthusiastic and forgiving than I am when it comes to movies, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I envy them that, really. So when they’re rolling their eyes at an absurd statement, you just know it’s truly absurd.
So it is, here. I liked THE MARVELS myself. Its major flaw was that the Alienwood Dance Number and The Flerkin Incident should have been just one of many highly surreal things to have happened in that movie. But I can assure you: that flaw would not have been addressed if there had simply been more suits on the ground. Quite the opposite, really.
Taking this as a “do see The Marvels once it hits Disney+” …
