didn't care enough to get a theater trip going for this one so just watched it off of HodaPlex. Def the right call I think, very typical middle-of-the-road Marvel movie. Think it would've come off better if this wasn't the first one in two years, felt very underwhelming as supposedly the start of the next saga of the MCU (like this was basically in Iron Man 1's spot? And obviously doesn't come close to that)
Action was below-average, plot was kinda muddled, villain was okay (above average by default for Marvel tho), Pugh was pretty good (probably the best part) save for the accent, and some of the pathos was actually decent but then would immediately be undercut by 10 forced Marvel quips
Meh!

| I think the end credits scene was the most disappointing part tbh. Like again, if you compare this to Iron Man 1's spot as the start of the first MCU saga, this should've been something HUGE and exciting like that teaser was. Instead it was a...lead-in to the Hawkeye TV show...cool |

17/23. Feels harsh but this did feel the weakest out of that 5/10 tier | same, you can thank good ol Ike Perlmutter for not getting this (and Black Panther I think) earlier tho |
