    Marvels wasn’t bad. I enjoyed it. I feel like it was a combination of poor advertising and comic book movie/series fatigue.

      Also Disney+ existing. Why go see something in a theater when it’s coming to a streaming service I already have in a few months?

      The leads are good, with Brie Larson finally relaxing a little, they actually let the pace breathe once or twice, and the switching gimmick made for some visually interesting fights. It suffered from MCU-villain syndrome and had a kind of light vibe that didn’t quite jibe with the budget, but I think long term it’ll be a minor gem, at least among people who don’t reflexively hate superheroes who depart from looking and acting like stoically traumatized WW2 veterans.
