Its full tilt Raimi firing on all cylinders. To call it daring would a bit much, but I'm surprised he got away with this much irreverent insanity under the Marvel umbrella.

This is the only endorsement I need!
I don't know quite what it says about me, but would you believe that I have only seen the first Ironman movie? I've seen a couple of the new Spiderman movies, so maybe those count.

Ash v. The Evil Dead is the Army of Darkness sequel! Made especially hilarious because they don't have the rights to Army of Darkness and yet those events were ultimately at the center of the show.

Related to our nostalgia porn discussion in the NuWho thread a couple weeks ago, this is an amazing article about the fall of Marvel movies. I'm too lazy to go back through this thread and check, but I believe I called this a long time ago.

Great article! Marvel really glutted the market. I've been pissed at the franchise for a long time. In fact, the only real standout movies for me have bene the stand-along stuff. The originals, like IRON MAN, and things like the firs two GUARDIANS and the first BLACK PANTHER.
Everything Avengers feels like what the Batman franchise did in the 90s -- squeezing every single possible character into one movie so there's no narrative, nothing at stake. If there is something at stake, it's always magically undone. And, oh, did you not watch the 581 hours of terribly scripted TV content? Then you'll NEVER know what the fuck is going on. No refunds!
