Marvel Cinematic Universe
Edguy:
Actually, the release here is Wednesday. I'm just not watching it on the premiere day.
Neko_Ali:
hmm. Aside from the Hulk, who is a character I never much liked, I really have enjoyed all of the MCU stuff. No doubt a big part of it is that I am totally the target audience for these movies and shows. I literally grew up with these characters having started reading them when I was 7 or 8 and even though I don't really read comics anymore (to much money) I still keep up with what goes on... So yeah all the in-references, the good translations of characters to the screen... I truly appreciate it all. Even times when Agents of Shield has had some pretty weak writing it has kept me coming back to see what's going to happen next. And I have never been disappointed by their movies so far. I wasn't disappointed by the Hulk, since I went in not expecting to like it and that was confirmed.
Lines:
Yeah, the only reason I saw The Hulk was because it related to the other movies. I really liked him in The Avengers, but 1) it wasn't a standalone and 2) I like the actor better.
Thrillho:
I was always more of a DC guy until a few years back (that's a rant for another time that I am always repeating) but honestly, I am just a big fan of the world building.
Saying that, I think that after the first Avengers film, the bloom is off the rose, not because of quality, but because that was a leap into a joyous unknown that we never believed would really happen.
Now, though? Here's the twenty-odd films we're releasing over the next five years, including titles that are basically spoilers of everything that happens in all of them. Have a good one! Some of the joy is gone for me.
Also, I saw Guardians, and it's good fun, but I wouldn't put it on the same tier as Avengers at all.

There are two distinct levels of film in the MCU: The first tier are the main thread movies - Iron Man, Avengers and the like. The second tier is stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy that are mostly world-building (in the case of Guardians, the galaxy beyond Earth and the politics and ideologies that is forming the struggle that is beginning to affect Earth and threatens to engulf it).
There is also arguably a 'third tier' of movies. What is that about?
(click to show/hide)I define the third tier as 'movies about characters Joss thought it would be cool to have in a movie but don't have anything to do with the Infinity Gauntlet main thread' - e.g. Ant Man.
