00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.950
Thoughts that should not be controversial. I don't like Marvel movies oh

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:08.920
It is controversial

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:16.379
Oh, No how do I preface this video without getting any hate if you like Marvel movies don't worry

00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:20.100
That's your opinion, and I just have mine. I made a video a few days ago

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:25.880
Saying why I don't like Marvel movies, and I sort of memed it pretty hard and people got really angry, and I didn't realize

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:33.689
People were so passionately defensive about Marvel movies for some reason. And since so many people had so many different thoughts around it

00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:39.300
I thought why don't I just go a little deeper with my point on why I don't like them or at least why I don't

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:42.419
Like them anymore. My first argument was : over saturation

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:48.390
I don't know how anyone can really defend this point, but I'll go through it anyway. We have Iron Man.

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:52.949
You had the Hulk, Iron Man again, Thor, Captain America

00:00:53.710 --> 00:01:00.750
Avengers, Iron Man again, Thor again, Captain America again, Guardians of the Galaxy

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:03.670
Avengers again

00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:05.670
Aaaant-Maaaaan

00:01:06.070 --> 00:01:13.439
Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy again, thank God. Spooderman

00:01:14.770 --> 00:01:16.770
Thor again

00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:25.379
And Black Panther.  Oh you thought that was it. No no no no no let's not forget about X-Men, Logan, Wolverine, X-Men, X-Men, X-Men

00:01:26.770 --> 00:01:28.920
Spider-man, Spider-man, Spider-man, Spider-man

00:01:29.770 --> 00:01:31.150
Deadpool

00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:32.350
Daredevil

00:01:32.350 --> 00:01:39.449
Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four. I'm definitely wrong for being tired of Marvel movies. I just don't understand how

00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:43.110
How I can.. I know it's completely unrea.. sonable

00:01:43.570 --> 00:01:47.879
To think that way there's just no way at all to come up with this conclusion

00:01:47.979 --> 00:01:55.229
I must just be crazy or something. Now don't get me wrong. I really liked superhero movies growing up. Spider-man for example

00:01:55.229 --> 00:01:57.130
I thought was so cool to see a

00:01:57.130 --> 00:01:58.300
superhero movie that I

00:01:58.300 --> 00:02:03.869
recognized on the big screen for the very first time. It wasn't something I was familiar with before and I just thought that

00:02:04.090 --> 00:02:05.550
concept was really really cool

00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:09.869
But then once you watch one two three four five six you sort of get that...

00:02:10.330 --> 00:02:12.690
they're all the same movie packaged differently.

00:02:12.940 --> 00:02:20.070
They all follow the same story and concept at the end of the day sure Deadpool is a very different superhero than spider-man

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:26.560
But at the end of the day all these films can be summarized as : superhero has superpowers.

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:34.500
Super villain has superpowers. Super hero wants peace. Super villain wants destruction. They fight and super hero wins.

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:36.489
Hooray

00:02:36.489 --> 00:02:41.129
Please direct me to any one of these thirty movies that doesn't follow this format.

00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:45.540
You know at the end of the movie where the villain is fighting the superhero, and there's this...

00:02:46.329 --> 00:02:49.469
This moment of suspense where you feel like  "Oh shit

00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:51.000
I really want the superhero to win"

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.579
But then you know "Oh the movies about to wrap up any minute now" because he's about to fight back aaaand

00:02:57.519 --> 00:02:59.500
the superhero will win aaand

00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:05.549
There will be a happy shot where everyone is just happy in the end and : "The End". It just removes any form of joy of

00:03:05.739 --> 00:03:10.889
Suspense because you... they are so painfully predictable. If at least one of these movies

00:03:11.859 --> 00:03:16.289
Went on a different path at least I would think okay, maybe this one will be different

00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:22.769
But it's all the same. Every. Single. Time. And digging deeper into the meat and the bone of the films

00:03:22.769 --> 00:03:27.740
I won't get too much into every single aspect, but one thing that I personally don't enjoy about these Marvel

00:03:27.749 --> 00:03:32.320
movies specifically is that they rely so heavily on special effects

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:54.760
It just feels too unreal, it just feels too unrealistic.

00:03:54.760 --> 00:04:02.529
It's like I'm watching an animated film with nothing really artistically interesting or impressive about it as opposed to Dark Knight for example where

00:04:09.410 --> 00:04:14.650
Where you watch this scene and you're like "Whoa they actually did flip a giant truck in the middle of New York City

00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:18.820
That's really cool. There's something interesting and admirable about that"

00:04:18.820 --> 00:04:22.270
You have the John Wick films, which I'm not gonna show 'cause it'll get demonetized

00:04:22.270 --> 00:04:29.409
but you see the talent of Keanu Reeves the actor, you see his movement and you see what he does. He doesn't need a

00:04:29.570 --> 00:04:34.420
thousand animators working on every single detail of the shot trying to make the person look cool.

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.420
It's the... it's the actor himself

00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:44.500
being cool. "Shits on Marvel, watches anime", "Felix bashes Marvel and superhero movies and praises anime. Shut up Felix".

00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:48.654
"Movies based on comic books are better than your stupid anime shows", "d

00:04:48.654 --> 00:04:51.220
Don't watch superhero films because they're not real...

00:04:51.380 --> 00:04:56.620
says the anime fan.",  "They're for kids, says the guy who decorates his room with anime garbage."

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.460
There's just so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to begin. First of all

00:05:00.460 --> 00:05:05.620
I don't like anime, I know, I know, I know, calm down. I love anime.

00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:10.920
I don't like Shonen anime. Shonen anime is what's targeted for teens between 12 and 18.

00:05:10.930 --> 00:05:13.750
And that's the same thing really with Marvel movies,

00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:15.350
they're... they're for teenagers.

00:05:15.350 --> 00:05:21.520
But for some reason it's still allowed for grown men to enjoy and cry about these films being interesting.

00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:26.640
It's like watching adults cry about Naruto. Sure, I loved Naruto and I loved One Piece, and I loved

00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:33.820
Bleach when I was a teenager. But then after going through all of them you sort of realize, same thing with Marvel films,

00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:35.900
They're all the same thing...

00:05:35.900 --> 00:05:43.150
packaged differently. You know what you're going to get, you know what you can expect out of these forms of media

00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:47.530
so after a while it just doesn't become appealing anymore because you've already

00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:50.560
experienced it, you already know what you're gonna get out of it.

00:05:50.590 --> 00:05:51.710
But even then...

00:05:51.710 --> 00:05:52.210
Okay

00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:55.419
If you're gonna bring up the whole concept of anime atleast you have atleast

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:58.789
hundreds of thousands of people coming up with hundreds of ideas and

00:05:59.099 --> 00:06:03.469
literally only the best ones will truly stick and you have some really interesting and unique

00:06:04.169 --> 00:06:11.719
concepts of characters and all these things, instead of just one guy coming up with different (whut) of basically the same concept.

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:17.030
People worship Stan Lee like he's some sort of godlike creature a... and... which gives me to my... eh

00:06:17.669 --> 00:06:21.109
...my next point which is the cult surrounding the Marvel movies.

00:06:22.050 --> 00:06:24.050
It's freaky. It's weird.

00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:39.140
It's a guy dressed in a suit.You're screaming at a guy dressed in a suit.

00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.520
But Felix it's my childhood.

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:50.780
I grew up watching... I grew up reading comic books

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.260
A lot of people said this argument to me as well that

00:06:54.590 --> 00:06:58.720
They just grew up with comic books and that's why they gets so excited about it.

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.649
But I don't really get that either to be honest. I practically grew up playing World of Warcraft

00:07:02.650 --> 00:07:04.959
I couldn't care less about the Warcraft movie.

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:10.210
I... I loved watching Star Wars movies as a kid, but now I'm just not interested in them anymore.

00:07:10.210 --> 00:07:16.120
I just don't understand this point. Moving on to my next point which I brought up in my original video

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.050
which is : we need to stop fetishizing

00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:20.840
the idea of idolizing superheroes.

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:26.300
I genuinely think it's damaging, and I say this because they're not real and everyone just completely jumped on me saying

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:30.780
"Well Felix anime isn't real, so what's your..."

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.720
My point wasn't that it wasn't real. My point is that it's super...

00:07:35.260 --> 00:07:39.160
They have superpowers right ? It's not achievable to have superpowers

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:42.080
You're idolizing something that's impossible

00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:49.920
You're idolizing a personal trait that just has been giving to them most of the times for free. If you want to bring up anime again

00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:54.320
Then at least Naruto worked hard to get his powers

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.780
To become who he is. He didn't just get superpowers by biting of a goddamn spider

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:04.900
Okay, ju... let's drop the whole anime point, my point is that what's what's so admirable about

00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:13.020
idolizing a superhero ? What is the positive message? The fact that they want to do something good? Is that what's so...

00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:17.020
So great about them? That they're striving to make the world a better place?

00:08:17.320 --> 00:08:21.760
Oh whooping 'i do who does it? What about a superhero movie that tackles the idea of

00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:24.760
what really is good and what really is evil? Oh wait!

00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:28.929
They already did that and he sure as hell wasn't Marvel! "You either die a hero

00:08:28.930 --> 00:08:31.510
Or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain"

00:08:31.510 --> 00:08:36.609
There are a good superhero movies still, I'm not... I'm not denying that but Marvel

00:08:36.610 --> 00:08:38.020
just are so shallow.

00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:45.489
They all just rely on looking cool, and having quirky and dumb jokes everywhere. And never giving you something actually of substance

00:08:46.140 --> 00:08:49.439
That's why I get so bored watching them, and... and... and don't get me wrong

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:55.679
I'm not even a DC fanboy, like I've given up on that as well. "Congrats to the entire black panther team!

00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:02.740
Because of you, young people will finally see superheroes that look like them on the big screen."

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:06.660
Way to put more emphasis on race than what is necessary at all. That's right

00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:12.260
I can't idolize anime figures because I'm not Japanese that's just impossible

00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:18.680
Oh, that's right. I can't idolize Lightning McQueen from Cars 1 and 2 because he's a vehicle of transportation

00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:23.549
And I'm just a mere mortal human being. Why not teach kids that their own morals and values

00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:31.709
Comes from themselves, and not from their skin. Instead of: "Oh you look like this person so... you can be like this!

00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:37.139
Because you have the same complexion of skin!" And even if this idea was so great

00:09:37.329 --> 00:09:38.589
Why did it take

00:09:38.589 --> 00:09:44.900
18 films for Black Panther to come out? Is it because social politics is more popular than ever and it's actually very

00:09:45.400 --> 00:09:49.480
monetizable? Or it's because they actually want to do something good and positive

00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:53.320
Hmm, I wonder which one. And if it's so admirable

00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:57.329
Why hasn't there been a female superhero movie yet?

00:09:57.329 --> 00:10:01.979
Why... I know that's coming out, but it's like after what, 20 of them?

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:07.740
Why hasn't there been as Mexican superhero yet hmm? Why not an Eskimo? Hello?

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:13.920
I am an Eskimo, who am I supposed to idolize here? I am so lost!

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:21.060
Last but not least, in Infinity War apparently a big deal of the movie is that a lot of superheroes... Die.

00:10:21.140 --> 00:10:26.220
But I'm not gonna spoil which ones or anything like that, but let's just entertain the idea that

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:32.440
let's say Iron Man dies in... in Infinity War. Do you actually... And people are treating this like

00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:37.139
this is a really big deal, but do you actually think they're gonna just then stop making Iron Man movies?

00:10:37.140 --> 00:10:43.739
Do you think that franchise is just somehow completely gone? There are gonna be prequels, there are gonna be different (whut again), different actors

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:48.989
They're still making Spider-man movies. That's sort of the point: as long as they keep making money

00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:54.540
it's not gonna stop. And to me personally there's something very unappealing about that.

00:10:54.540 --> 00:11:00.360
It... It sort of lacks any form of artistic integrity. Sure a lot of anime suffer from this as well

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:05.300
They just don't know when to stop as long as they keep making money then they're gonna keep going.

00:11:05.310 --> 00:11:12.029
But there's so many other great movies that are completely overshadowed by all these comic book movies that are all to me

00:11:12.190 --> 00:11:17.669
the same thing. If you're a teenager I couldn't care less if you like these movies like knock yourself out

00:11:17.790 --> 00:11:19.740
I enjoyed them as a teenager as well.

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:26.370
But seeing the cult of frantic screaming adults crying about these movies still, it's insane to me.

00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:30.599
I think there's something wrong about our culture, and this is not stopping anytime soon.

00:11:30.670 --> 00:11:34.020
There's so many movies still coming out as you can see here

00:11:34.020 --> 00:11:40.259
They already announced half of them. Who actually cares about the next Ant-Man? Like it blows my mind,

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:47.020
I don't get it. You... You literally have a new superhero movie out before the next one even comes out on the DVD

00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:51.140
How many superhero movies do you need? At the end of the day

00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:53.680
I don't care. You... You're free to like whatever you want.

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:58.890
I... Like it doesn't bother me if I meet someone that say they like it

00:11:58.890 --> 00:12:03.900
I just personally don't agree with it, and here's the reason why I don't like Marvel movies.

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.060
