SHINAN'S PROFILE

It's still going to make the list, there's little doubt of that. But it might not even crack the top 5, depending on how well stuff like the new Mission Impossible do.

We already have a monthly lottery that logs out a random member though.

"My dinner!" I stand up bewildered and loud, pick up a chair and hurl it at the newcomers.

3+3=6

Also it's Star Wars and not Star Trek.

There's also a distinct difference between how Star Wars and the MCU is run. It proves that Disney does indeed respect their subsidiaries' autonomy. You don't see Marvel treating their directors like shit. James Gunn directed both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and he's directing Volume 3. Jon Favreau has directed every Iron Man movie (and he even had a script for a couple of them XD). With Lucasfilm, any time a director disagrees even slightly with the studio, are immediately dismissed. No wonder people like Marvel but are starting to get disgusted with Star Wars.

On the other hand JJ Abrams returns for Episode 9, Rian Johnson has signed on to a separate Star Wars trilogy. So two out of four directors have a relationship that is good enough that they willingly are coming back for more.

On the Marvel front you have Edgar Wright being kicked off his movie after working on it for a couple of years. Joss Whedon dropping out of Phase 2 and going to the DC universe instead. You could make the same argument that Marvel's directors that step out of line are immediately dismissed.

I mean it's clear that the MCU is run by Kevin Feige and Star Wars is run by Kathleen Kennedy.

But yes it is also true that Star Wars hasn't entirely found its footing yet. If you compare it directly to the MCU, the four first MCU movies were Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Thor... I realize this is a dumb comparison to make but I personally think all the recent Star Wars movies are better than those four :)

That's for the whole movies and it makes them look like parodies of themselves and do that enough times, and it starts to get really insulting to the viewer, and every Marvel movie since Age of Ultron has treaded that line. It's a big reason I've lost interest.

Again on the other hand this is where the money talks I guess. In the beginning there was attempts at the more serious things in the movies but audiences clearly responded better to fun and lightheartedness. The fewer Thor: The Dark Worlds we have the better.


And yeah, ranking the Marvel movies is pretty damn hard. Mostly because I feel they are all quite samey, there's none that really stand out from the rest. So this is a ranking where #1 and #5 could probably switch on a daily basis.
