could you elaborate? every single one of them (besides like soul) has had some kinda major impact on the mcu, culminating in grape daddy getting all of them and using them to cure his ocd

i don't see how they were a waste at all

They've been built-up for nearly an entire goddamn decade, so having all of them together is supposed to be a "oh god oh ****" moment but if you undo that, it makes them feel overhyped and by breaking them in the movie that does that, it just makes them feel less significant. It's like Tony destroying all the suits at the end of Iron Man 3 only to still have more goddamn suits, loses all impact around the scene. Imagine if your typical shonen anime keeps building up a villain as a massive threat and when he finally appears, he's taken down in a single fight scene.

There's an appeal to pure evil that doesn't need to be humanized when done right.

That's why Kid Buu is my favorite Buu. There's no underlying motivation; no humanization. He's simply a creature of terror, like an animal laughing maniacally when he blows **** up. There's no reasoning with it, no good ending possible. You just ****ing have to kill it.

It's a shame what happened to the Buu saga but why the **** did they feel it was necessary for goddamn Ultron?

ALSO WHY THE **** DID THEY ALLOW THE FORCED ASS ROMANCE OF BANNER AND WIDOW?

so tl;dr seems to be basically "watch all of them, but if you can't then just Infinity War plus Civil War/one or two others is enough"? I guess that's about what I expected... It'll be a few weeks before I have a chance to watch Endgame anyway, so maybe I'll have time to catch up before then.

Main reason I asked is because I hadn't watched any superhero films in a long time, so I was considering trying them out again. Went to see Captain Marvel recently and had a good enough time with it, so I figured I could keep going from there and see how they go.

For what it's worht the only Marvel movie I've watched was Infinity War and I understood it fine, you really only need a basic understanding of all the heroes to get the movie.

[SnakeFighter64]

I'm not, I'm just expecting that they'll probably have a passing of the torch at least 10 years from now. Besides, there's plenty of villains in the rogues gallery to focus on (even putting aside Vulture's inevitable return), it'll keep 'em busy for a while,

I get that. I think it would make sense to transition to Miles later. But some people were saying that they literally should have just skipped Peter entirely because he’s “tired” and Miles is “so much cooler”.

I barely even have any understanding of them beyond "they exist" in most cases, so... yeah. And in some cases I didn't even know they existed until recently. Like, Thanos to me is just "big purple guy who snaps half the universe away and is not going to die by having some other guy I've never heard of go up his arse and explode him", other than that I don't know who he is or what he does. So I've probably got a lot of catching up to do in general.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

To be fair, having 3 separate movie universes with Peter Parker in the span of 14 years can be tiring, it's like how some people are getting tired of seeing Batman everywhere all the time. MCU Spiderman is really damn good though and they DID hint at Miles so that's good

Is this one of those death game things?

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I can understand why someone may like a character like this type, but it personally isn't my type of thing. If it's something like Bowser, ya know, a simple villain, I can understand him not having a true motive, yet for lore heavy series like Dragonball, having a character kill just for the sake of it just comes off as lazy writing to me. Nothing against the character, of course. If you can deliver it well enough I certainly believe it can make up for it. I haven't watched Dragonball, so I can't really say if they handle it well, though.

Basically, TLDR; the only thing that restrained Buu's murderkill urges is when enough guys were absorbed by him ages ago. Kid Buu is what you get when all the limiters are removed, given that the form that precedes him has more of a personality (completely sadistic, but still with his own quirks).

Even then, the movie does a good job at explaining everything you need to know. Only thing that might be confusing is the first 5 minutes but you can pretty much figure out the context.

I’m still waiting for them to make a Big Comfy Couch cinematic universe.

Well, for context, Kid Buu is just the true Buu. The original Majin Buu separates from his evil half, and the evil half then fights and consumes the "good" Buu, thus re-merging their power but with evil intentions. This "Super Buu" then starts to gain intelligence the more he consumes until he's an intelligent being with the typical "big bad guy" persona like Cell, fighting dirty, wanting to destroy the world, etc.

When they're able to remove the people he's absorbed, however, Super Buu loses all of that "humanity" he'd gained-- the part of him that was able to reason and talk and everything-- and devolves into "Kid Buu", who then proceeds to blow up the Earth because **** it, why not? And he laughs hysterically as he does it.

He never talks. He just acts. When you punch him, he either finds it hilarious and taunts you or it actually hurts him and he goes berserk. He's a fantastic final climactic battle because of this. I liked him more than Cell 2.0 Super Buu easily because of the stakes that were set up. Can he work as a long-term villain? Not really. That's why they brought back Frieza and not him. But he was perfect for the final big bad of DBZ because he was less of a character to empathize with and more a final, ultimate destructive force with no way to win but complete and total obliteration.

i mean

it kinda was a big oh god oh **** moment i mean thanos literally won the avengers got their asses wiped and then handed to them on a silver platter before being dusted

they will end up reversing the snap, no question about it

but i really doubt it's gonna be just a universal control-z like you're making it out to be

the movie is three hours long for gods sake

we're totally gonna have a lot of crazy **** happen in it, some that will probably leave a lasting impact on the mcu

acting as if the movie doesn't mean anything before any of us have even watched it feels just a bit wack

ALSO WHY THE **** DID THEY ALLOW THE FORCED *** ROMANCE OF BANNER AND WIDOW?

this bs still bugs me + pietro's death after like 2 minutes of doing nothing what the hell whedon

mcu watcher's guide: watch black panther and maybe thor ragnarok. do not watch infinity war or endgame

I just don’t get it. And I don’t think I can get it.

Imagine you're watching a TV show and before they can give it a nice ending that wraps around everything, they reboot it, constantly denying you of a good ending and going "Ignore the last thing you saw, THIS is what's happening now". To be fair Amazing Spiderman came out quite a bit after Spiderman 3 but the gap between Amazing 2 and Civil War was too short for most audiences. It's like how early DBZ in America would only cover the Saiyan saga and constantly reset before Funimation advanced the plot by dubbing further in the series

The pure Majin Buu, otherwise known as "Kid Buu" in the West, is Majin Buu in his most basic form.

Strictly speaking, he is the weakest of all the forms, but he is the most dangerous.

People often mistake the two, but threat level =/= power level, Kid Buu is the most dangerous because he can't be reasoned with, it's either outpower him or die at his hands.

See how easily Goku swayed Fat Buu, or how long Piccolo delayed Super Buu from killing the rest of the cast. Fat Buu and Super Buu were way stronger than Kid Buu, but the fact that they could think on a deeper level meant that you could talk to them.

Actually, I'd like to know where Majin Buu came from, but at the same time the mystery is kind of the appeal.

We just know that Bibidi was his former master/controller, that's the extent of it.

But yeah, it's appealing when some mysteries of a universe aren't explained. Leaves room for the imagination and such.

I thought he was created by Babidi's father, Bibidi. Is it actually not explained in the series?

It was worse when DBZ only covered up to the Captain Ginyu portion of the Namek Arc.

At least the Saiyan Arc had an actual ending, even if it was an ending that lead directly into the next story.
