Reviewing Every Marvel Movie (ft. Amy, Oz, & Will)
Added 2025-12-22 02:39:18 +0000 UTCOver the last few months Amy, Will, Oz, and several other friends took it upon themselves to watch every single Marvel movie up until "Avenger's Endgame". That's a lot of movies! In fact, it's so many movies, this is the longest review on this Patreon now! And I'm not even in it!
As per usual, spoilers for every single movie on the list. This post is massive and I spent the last three days editing it, so if you want to listen to it in bite-sized chunks I've put stars next to the reviews that were my favorites.
They really like Ant-Man.

Did you guys enjoy hearing reviews from other people that aren't me? Let us know, because Yam was also interested in maybe doing an Umamusume multimedia thing with Aloha.
Have good holidays!

I love ant-man the character and like the movies fine. But it drives me bonkers the way they talk about him being aquaman. Or how he's really silly, cause like Ant-man is so cool and the mcu doesn't do anything with hank which kinda takes away some of the cooler stuff with Scott. Like I know to most people think ant-man is silly but I've so many stories that take him seriously, like how he is the creator of ultron in most comics, that it sucks that people think of him as a joke... I sound like a spider-man villain "You don't get it! It's not a joke! I MUSTARD MAN WILL RULE NEW YORK!"

2026-01-24 19:33:01 +0000 UTCJello, to answer your last question, I believe you or someone else in your friend group after Will brought up recent gaming news once said, "Will, I could listen to you talk about nothing for hours" or something of that effect. I could, would, and will listen to you and your friends talk about anything for hours on end in long-form content. Your VoDs on your streaming channel are my go-to listening noise for doing pretty much anything, same with Vixen's content for a very similar reason. I would LOVE to see more edited reviews from your friends.

2026-01-06 11:30:32 +0000 UTCI feel the need to completely disagree on Black Panther being a bad movie. Might just be that I found the jokes and action sequences enjoyable more often than not (the CGI sequences really are terrible, though). I also think you aren't giving this movie enough credit for the characters' motivations making sense and their abilities being handled consistently. It's really nice that, unlike most of these movies, the writers don't constantly stretch those to fit around the plot. That makes it one of the best executions of the Marvel Movie Formula, IMO, which would still be true if the movie had nothing interesting going with its themes. Obviously Disney didn't let Coogler make Sinners (2025) and put the Marvel Studios stamp on it, but he still manages to fit a lot in. There are certainly problems with it that I could get into. I agree that the meta textual reasons Killmonger has to be an unreasonable villain (and Ross gets to be a good guy) overshadow the genuinely impressive job the writers do working around those MCU restrictions. But every other movie on this list is also a Marvel Movie with a Hollywood approved ending. I think that Black Panther getting as close as it does to being something better is more impressive than it is disappointing, and I don't think there's anything wrong with liking a movie that could have been better. Especially when most Marvel movies don't even show that potential. Like, I think it's honestly just Fine (complicated), even though I liked it a lot, but I'm really annoyed by how harsh that gap between those tiers seems. Y'all spending most of the review pointing out how good parts of the movie are, then writing it off as Ultron-tier garbage, and the audience enjoyment of it as appreciation for scraps, baffles me.

2026-01-04 01:38:41 +0000 UTCI just rewatched avengers and I have to say, I really think that was the peak of iron man as a character. The biggest thing I noticed in this movie is that Tony Stark is like unquestionably a jerk, but he’s a jerk who knows what he’s talking about and has genuinely good intentions. And I don’t think those two sides of him ever found the same balance as in The Avengers. The two big things that Tony is like stubbornly difficult about have to do with Shield and Bruce banner, and in both regards he clearly has a point. Tony was straight up right about Shield having the questionable goal of developing weapons. And on top of that he’s able to pick up on how manipulative the whole avengers initiative is. Which is a suspicion that something he and Banner bond over. I think my favorite part of his character was how affected he was by Phil Coulsons death. Steve Rogers is a good person but at the end of the day he’s a soldier. And so he sees Coulsons death as something honorable and tries to sanctify it. But Tony gets pissed off and snaps at Cap basically saying that they aren’t soldiers and that nothing can justify Coulson’s death. And like, Coulson went out doing something he was proud of, but Tony is pretty valid for being disgusted by how Coulson had to go, especially with how Fury used his death to basically guilt the Avengers into fighting for him. And in regards to The Hulk, Tony keeps prodding Bruce and trying to make him angry, which seems like a super irresponsible move and kinda is. But Tony reveals his true intentions when he talks about how he views his own arc reactor. Something that can be seen as a curse but can still be used for good. Which is what he tries to motivate Bruce into doing with The Hulk. That particular character arc doesn’t really go anywhere, but it is a solid and understandable motivation for Tony Stark to have. Also I like how in the end, Iron Man is the person to almost sacrifice himself to save the city. It’s a nice call back to Cap and Tony’s earlier fight where Cap called Tony out for being too self centered to actually put himself on the line when it mattered.

2025-12-27 02:31:56 +0000 UTCFinally have the time to listen to this and I'm sure i'll have more thoughts later, but right now Will going 'give me the bone juice' describing Abomination made me laugh so hard I popped some joints in my lower spine and felt tension release, this review is LITERALLY good for your health Edit, also at 6:52:00 I LOVE them calling Corvus Glaive 'Sticks the Goblin' when talking about him and Proxima Midnight Second edit: it's SO NUTS how badly the movies kinda fuck up Starlord, cause as a fan of the comics the dude from the Duggan run with the cancer verse and the death of Thanos is NOT the same dude in the movies, that guy is Space Captain America who traps Thanos in a pocket dimension with Nova and then goes 'as long as i stay alive longer than it takes you to reach that portal, I win'

2025-12-26 23:29:20 +0000 UTCso the funny thing about thor ragnarok is that the writers clearly wanted to make a planet hulk movie, but obviously marvel wasnt going to greenlight any hulk movies since the one they made was considered a flop. so the writers just wrote planet hulk and put thor in it...

2025-12-24 02:01:55 +0000 UTCI can't stand that every character in Infinity War takes Thanos's motivation seriously. They treat him as a monster, but in a coldly logical way, instead of the death-fetishizing maniac he is. You've got the snarkiest cast of heroes in existence, and *none* of them bother making fun of Thanos's plan?
