I'm showing my mom all the Marvel movies. It's fucking painful guys. I showed her a bunch (Thor, Guardians, Black Panther, Ant Man, doctor strange) out of order to gauge her reaction and then when she seemed into them, I started in order. Well, she remembers NOTHING from previous movies. We are finally ready for Avengers, but she doesn't remember Thor which she saw maybe two weeks ago, so we have to rewatch. *Bangs head repeatedly against the wall*
Anywho while watching Iron Man 2, I remembered why I fucking HATE Pepper Potts. She's so whiney and needy.
Who do you hate on?

I don't hate Pepper, but I don't enjoy her. I find her boring. I don't know if there's anyone I hate. hmmm. I think I’d like her more if it wasn’t Gwenyth Paltrow. |

Are we doing MCU? Or can we expand to the whole universe?
I really don't care for most of the Defenders. Jessica Jones, while I enjoyed her initial story arc, is such a bitch. And Danny Rand is a whiney little white boy.
Also, I hate Mr. Fantastic.

I said this in the AoS thread, but I can't stand Skye. Hypocritical, whiny Mary Sue. I don't really like Daredevil either, I stopped watching because he irritated me. I have a fair amount of hate for Peter Quill after this Thanos fuckery. I feel like the writers agree with you on Skye. They even named her Mary Sue. |

They have a character called Professor Impossible who is a parody of Mr. Fantastic. They address his toxic ass behaviour ruthlessly on the show. At one point his wife Sally (see a similarity?) Dumps his ass and the pathetic needy loser he is is revealed. |

I don’t think I really hate any of them but my gosh I though karolina from the runaways was insufferable.
Re daredevil I’m not a fan either actually. Foggy was the best part of that show.

I have a fair amount of hate for Peter Quill after this Thanos fuckery. I haven't dived into the Marvel TV shows. Should I? I had daredevil on my netflix list for months but I never started it and eventually took it off. |

I think Luke Cage is the only one I watched the whole season of. The others lost me. They're all fairly graphic, which is fine, but I need to at least like the characters. And most of them are very unlikeable (to me). I'm hoping the Disney+ Marvel shows are better. If they're ever able to be made 😭 I watched the first couple of season of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. But I only made it 1 season for the others. Definitely grittier and darker than the movies. And they aren't my favorite characters in the first place. Luke Cage is the only one who I didn't actively dislike at some point, but other characters in his show did it for me. |

I can definitely see that, the first iron man will always be the best one. Something about her just irks me, even when she was in Emma |

From the movies, I’d say Odin. Such a crappy father that continually makes everything worse.
MH really wanted to name DD2 Penelope. I vetoed it (even though I love the name) because combined with our last name she would have essentially been Pepper Potts. MH thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, but I feel like you guys would understand.

I don't know much beyond the modern era of Avengers movies, but of them I really dislike Dr. Strange. He's such a condescending know-it-all without the charm or wit of Stark, which just makes him an insufferable arse.

The ones I don’t like, I just don’t watch their shows so I guess that’s Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage? Although I liked Luke in Jessica Jones. I guess I prefer more supernatural bad guys in my sci-fi and Luke fighting drug gangs just didn’t interest me.
Of the main movies, I find Scarlet Witch a bit grating. She has almost no humor at all, I need humor in my Marvel heroes.
I wish Shuri was less of a giggly teenager. I wish they showed more of her weird genius-y side and less of a normal teenager personality if I’m supposed to believe she’s smarter than Tony and Bruce. Like, Tony, Bruce and Peter are all geniuses but also goofy and weird. In my experience, super-smart people are always a little out there.
I also agree that Pepper’s coolness dropped dramatically after the first Iron Man, when I found her genuinely likeable.

It’s just that combined with our last name she would have had the same cadence as Pepper Potts and all I could hear was that the name sounds like a comic book character. Too much alliteration for me. |

I'm showing my mom all the Marvel movies. It's fucking painful guys. I showed her a bunch (Thor, Guardians, Black Panther, Ant Man, doctor strange) out of order to gauge her reaction and then when she seemed into them, I started in order. Well, she remembers NOTHING from previous movies. We are finally ready for Avengers, but she doesn't remember Thor which she saw maybe two weeks ago, so we have to rewatch. *Bangs head repeatedly against the wall* Anywho while watching Iron Man 2, I remembered why I fucking HATE Pepper Potts. She's so whiney and needy. Who do you hate on? I am your mom in this scenario - I've got no memory for the long storylines that played in the background. H had to remind me of a lot of things when we watched End Game. And I remember absolutely nothing from Iron Man 2 & 3 (is there a 3?), the middle Thor movie(s?), Civil War and Winter Soldier, and the middle Avengers movie. Basically, only the first and last movies in the series' made an impact. |

And I remember absolutely nothing from Iron Man 2 & 3 (is there a 3?), the middle Thor movie(s?), Civil War and Winter Soldier, and the middle Avengers movie. Basically, only the first and last movies in the series' made an impact. I remembered IM 2 mostly but other than the scene with the kid in the woods I remembered nothing from IM 3. I found that and Thor 2 really boring. There's a reason they aren't memorable. I also had NO recollection of anything from Winter Soldier and when I watched it completely sober this time, it's really not a bad movie. The good thing is that my mom likes Captain America and is more likely to pay attention to characters she likes. She thinks Thor is too pretty (but captain America isn't 🤔🤷♀️) so she zones out a bit. We're up to Guardians 2 tonight. She likes the music since it's from her generation so I hope shell pay a little more attention. |

Captain america the winter soldier is my favorite marvel movie hands down. Followed by the avengers and then iron man.
I haaaaate Tony in civil war. He goes from "like the old man said, Together" in AOU to signing the accords without all of them in no time.
I actually read a flash fic about how the lady in the beginning of civil war was a hydra plant that was awesome but never been able to find it again.

And I am not a Steve fan in endgame. He spends all these movies looking for Bucky just to throw "til the end of the line" or the window.

Okay I’m rewatching Black Panther along with a million other people today and I need to retract my opinion about Shuri. I love her and now I feel cheated that I never got to see her and Tony onscreen together.

Mostly she’s there for sass and comic relief, which I appreciate! But if she’s as smart as Tony and Bruce, let her show it more instead of just handing over all these gadgets she’s made off screen. |
