Marvelous

Has anyone noticed that the bad guys in the Marvel movies are getting dumber, and the plots are becoming more forced?

Let me try to put it into words.

Iron Man

Terrorist, then a weapons manufacturer who wants to make money

Incredible Hulk

I dunno, military guy? Who even remembers?

Iron Man 2

Russian maniac out for revenge, and weapons manufacturer who wants to make money

Thor

Blue giants with ancient grudges, and Loki with daddy issues

Captain America

Devil Mr. Smith and ultra-Nazis

Avengers

Loki wants to rule the world

Iron Man 3

Terrorists are super powered or something, I watched this movie two times and I still don’t care

Captain America 2

Cap’s friend is back from the dead and his metal arm is SUPER itchy; also, the ultra-Nazis

Thor 2

White elves can’t sleep, need to turn out the lights, it’s too bright

Guardians of the Galaxy

Racist cult hasn’t killed anyone recently, it’s time for a rampage

Avengers 2

Robot thinks he’s god, tries hard to live up to his own standards, wants to kill all humans

Ant Man

Weapons manufacturer again

Captain America 3

All those bad guys are the Avengers’ fault somehow, so one rando decides to make them fight

I might have oversimplified one or two, but you see where I’m coming from? The first movie villains had some motivation–they wanted to make a ton of money, or they wanted lots of power, or someone killed their father, prepare to die. Recently, it’s getting super political, boo hoo I lost my wife, humans are destroying the planet, hippie crap stuff. Anyone who lives on planet earth are whiny sacks of flesh who deserve extinction, and it’s Iron Man’s fault that the crazy terrorist zombie robot Nazis killed someone’s family.

Good of the many, man. It’s the first and last rule of any hero, soldier, or vigilante. Some peoples gotsta die so’s the rest can lives. Kirk knows it. Spock knows it. Cap knows it.

Whatever. It’s just a movie. It was awesome. Go see it.
