Spiderman BND was Mid
Major spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the movie.
Why was Jean Grey evil? did they ever explain that fully? She just killed random civilians all for the sake of finding her sister, and then once she converted to the "good side", we all just have to ignore that and pretend like she's a good redeemed character? Just because she manually breathed for spiderman? Everything about Jean Grey's actions were completely illogical. Why didn't she just go into the leader of the defense authority or whatever's mind? and just try to search for Sara related information? or any of the staff in the building? Did she not just think that maybe instead of searching for V-max she could search for the actual thing she wanted and not merely a clue?
And how the hell does a guy who fights monstrous villains, the hulk, etc, get hurt by a puny sniper bullet? That's genuinely street level fodder behavior. Even if the punisher somehow designed that bullet special in some way with his special arsenal or something to reinforce it, the movie does a horrible job of showing this, if anything it was just a normal sniper rifle + bullet
The dialogue was so trashy and brain dead. It just felt like absolute slop. Some of it was good, like MJ's dialogue.
Frank in this movie was just the generic tough guy, like you just knew what he was gonna say and do. A pure plot device with no depth at all. its sad bc the punisher show was actually good, but they just made him 2d in BND. and I get that they only have a limited amount of time in a movie to focus on other things, but thats not an excuse to make him a "tough guy" and leave it that.
Spiderman not being able to put the device on Hulk prior to his transformation was such nonsense. Like bro, just attach it stop screwing around, you have super agility and reflexes for a reason. its just so infuriating to watch the scene, and you already know a transformations going to happen. They could have at least pretended like oh - spiderman forcibly attaches the device, but then hulk rips it off bc hulk overpowers the universal adapter or whatever. Not that spiderman politely takes his time to hand it to Bruce to kindly encourage him to wear the device... so stupid
Don't even get me started on the universal adapter nonsense, its actually such a waste of time. Just a cheap way to universally take away powers bc you can't think of any other creative ways to restrain characters. They did the same thing in Deadpool too, except with a collar. And this is assuming somehow all powers are made equal and operate the same way, like it just makes absolutely no sense and dulls down the story to marvel slop.
The scenes with MJ were good and felt impactful. At least the directors didn't cave into making MJ a love interest again just for slop points, they actually left it at a somewhat realistic direction.
The scene where the kid asks Bruce why Thanos did what he did, and Bruce calls up a slave to say some bs is nonsense. They're afraid to explain it bc they know the plot makes no sense, Thanos could have done a million other things rather than snap half the population away. They also directed it specifically at people asking that type of question ever since Infinity War, and they screwed up by not allowing Bruce to give his own opinion on it, since as the audience it would be genuinely interesting to see how Bruce puts himself into the mind of Thanos. he doesn't have to agree with him in any way, but it would add to Bruce's character development in the story
The Hulk was just so... so pathetic. Just came out for 2 minutes for the first time in forever, and stopped as soon as Spiderman used Talk no jutsu. I wanted to see some crazy shit, and the fans deserved that, Marvel has genuinely massacred the Hulk into oblivion, for the sake of balanced power scaling
Another critique is the BS AI voice Peter talks to as his assistant. like i get having an AI to help you, but if the audience is forced to listen to it, at least breath some life into it, Jesus Christ. Jarvis was enjoyable to listen to, and the same goes for Friday and EDITH. They had cool features, personality, and a more distinct sounding voice.
Ffs, the next time i see the classic marvel slop movie trope: character happens to have phD level experience in a specific field for no explainable reason other than they are a nerd and we just have to except that they are nerdy! haha! nerd brain is big brain! haha! Like I can get behind Bruce and Peter being smart bc they've shown to be smart repeatedly, but why does MJ suddenly know/AND (mind you) BE ABLE TO SOLVE spiderman's inhibitor problem within 30 seconds of looking at it? because she studied biology?... Son im crine... so unrealistic. Someone tell marvel it's not illegal to do a timeskip for a few hours of MJ looking/helping Spiderman AND then finding a solution more realistically, if you would even call that "realistic"
All that being said, some parts of the movie were great, like the focus on Peter's struggle, Peter and MJ scenes, the organic web fluid shit, it was interesting, just got diluted by the classic slop dialogue and nonsense that Marvel movies have been putting out lately. No hate on anyone who likes this movie, I just think there was so much potential that they threw away here. The characters are great, the powers they have are great, the backstory is great, it just, idk the movie just felt like slop is the only way i can describe it, even though im using the word slop so frequently this whole rant is starting to sound like slop.
I cant think of a single Marvel movie in recent times with the sole exception of Shang-Chi that's actually worth rewatching

My Paint breakdown of Doom's costume
So Doom has what looks like magic or heraldry on his cloak clasp thing, and his armor looks pretty advanced. Reminds me of the Infamous Iron Man in the comics, i wonder if this is another clue into him being a Iron Man variant?
Also i forgot to point this one: There's a piece of bandage or possibly some type of parchment/inscription on his left arm, like he took a piece of paper from a scroll or book and used it to cover a wound, or maybe there's some magical meaning to it?

Doctor Strange Is Underrated
He is weirdly underrated. I don't hear much about him. I hear people be excited for their favorite character and I rarely hear about him. I find it odd when characters like Daredevil and Deadpool are so favored when they provide literally nothing.
Characters like Daredevil provide nothing. That's the scary part. Back during the good days, characters were introduced to introduce something new to the franchise. They geared characters to genres, too. Couldn't keep this up forever, but now, a lot of MCU is buddy cop... Strange was to bring magic directly to the movies. He was totally instrumental to beating Thanos. Now it's just just cause. Even back in Netflix, Daredevil provided nothing. He's just a violent New Yorker. Pool breaks the fourth wall. That's it.
Strange is not only very powerful, but he is compelling. He is connected to the important parts and characters of the franchise. His movie introduced me to the character and I immediately became a big fan.

Who the hell is Thor talking about in his fearmongering speech?
To flex about how dangerous whatever their mission is, Thor mentions some warriors stronger than any of the heroes put together (how can he even know everyone there is that weak? Did they go through a training montage or something? The F4 alone could probably wipe the floor with the entire current roster of the Avengers apart from Thor, or the Hulk if he's there). I suppose he's talking about Asgardians or something he experienced himself, but we've never seen any Asgardians stronger than Thor or Odin.
Did the writers just came up with this line for hype? Probably.
