So yesterday fellow M&F blogger, Hutch, posted the first Captain America: Civil War trailer. BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!! Today Marvel has released the second trailer for the much anticipated Captain America film, and to be honest, I could not care less. Unlike Hutch, I am not much of a Marvel fan. Yeah, they are action packed and entertaining, but they are also extremely repetitive- they're friends, something comes between them so they fight each other, then a common villain brings them back together. Throw is a few cheesy one liners and you got yourself a Marvel film. And you know none of the Avengers are going to die because then Marvel won't be able to come out with Captain America 12: Your Still Entertained By This? fifteen years from now.
So call me a film snob, call me a douche, but I need a little more back story and character development in my films. Aside from the fact that none of the Avengers are going to die, I could care less if they did die, I feel no connection with them. When they killed off Quick Silver (had to ask about what his name was) in the last Avengers film was that suppose to be a big deal? They'll probably bring him back to life like three movies from now anyways. They'll bring in a new actor and make a new franchise out of him.
Action in films is like drugs, it is good in moderation but if you are constantly on them you will become dull to them. I have become dull to the action in Marvel films because thats all they have.
GDONUT
