Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to another week of Movie Mix
Movie Podcast. My name is movie Mike on Twitter and
Instagram at Mike d Strow. In a very special episode
this week, I'm bringing in Morgan number two, who I
work with on The Bobby Bones Show, and she did
something crazy. She watched every single Marvel movie in like
three weeks. So we're gonna do is go through each
movie in every single phase and talk about and review
(00:21):
these This all came about because one of the biggest
questions I got on my email, which is movie Mike
d at gmail dot com, where you can submit movie questions.
A lot of people ask what order you should watch
the Marvel movies in, so we'll get into that. And
a lot of people who listened to the Bobby Bones
Show as well heard that Morgan number two is doing
this and watching all the Marvel movies, so they suggested
that I bring her on. So this is what we're
(00:42):
doing this episode. And I know that I like to
keep this a spoiler free podcast, but I felt in
order to really get into these Marvel movies and explain
them and review them, we kind of had to give
some spoiler alerts in there, and a lot of these
have been out for a while now, and I felt
that Endgame was such a big movie that you kind
of had to talk about the spoilers a bit. But
if you haven't seen this one, just know that by
the time we start talking about phase three is where
(01:05):
there will be some spoilers. So just the heads up
on that. If you don't want to watch up to
then come back and listen to this later by the
time you get to that. So a bit of a
different format on this episode, just because I wanted to
cover everything in such great detail. But here we go
with Morgan number two, who watched every single Marvel movie
for the first time. Let's get started. In a world
where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man
(01:26):
stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before
in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge,
he's basically like a walking on MTV with classes from
the Nashville Podcast Network is movie Movie podcast. And I'm
here now with Morgan number two. Yeah, are you doing
(01:49):
I'm good. I just finished twenty three Marvel movie, which
is insane. We're not heard you were doing this. I'm like,
this is what most people took ten years to do
and you did it all in how long? I have?
Pretty much three weeks? Yeah, I finished it and you
never I mean, you've seen a couple of Marvel movies
before this, right, Yeah. I had seen the ant Man movies,
Aunt Man, A Man in the Wasp and then Black Panther.
(02:09):
Had no idea they were in connection with anything else,
just thought they were good movies. Okay. So when I
watched them back, I'm like, okay, well there was a
lot of things that I missed that didn't really make
sense to the first time. Yes, okay, So what we're
gonna do is talk about, first of all, to Ordady
watched him in, which is important because I put out
a thing of you know, people could ask me questions,
(02:30):
and one of the biggest thing I got was what
ordered to watch the Marvel movies in? Yes, So we'll
talk about why you watched them in this order, and
then we just want to go through each phase. So
there's three phases of the Marvel movies one, two, and three.
So we'll go through each of what your favorites were
in that, and we'll review them all, and then we'll
talk about what your favorite one out of all of
them were, which is crazy. And so first of all,
(02:51):
you told me that you had already seen Captain America
before you even started. You started with that one, well,
because I looked online and everybody's like by the order
of the time during the movie the timeline which through
the whole universe takes place, Yes, And so I had
originally seen that, and then I was like, I just
need to make sure before I continue on this road
that I'm watching this right. So then you told me
(03:11):
to watch it and release order instead. Yeah, And the
reason I say that is because I mean, that's kind
of how everybody takes them in and that's kind of
the way they were meant to be seen. And I
feel like when you start moving them in order, you
lose a lot of like, well, like the credit scenes
are a big thing in Marvel movies, yes, and it
connects the next movie that's coming out. So I feel
if you started moving them around in order, then you
(03:33):
lose that and it don't make sense. And I'm glad
you told me that. Like the the Captain America, the
first amender, watching that before Iron Man didn't really mess
me up too bad because it was still like a
Phase one movie. But so after that I watched them
all in the release order, and all of the credits
lined up. Everything made sense, all of the pieces were
going together. That was definitely a better order that I
(03:54):
think to be watching them in. I don't know any different,
but the release order definitely helped me because the other
order that's out there is in chronological order that they
happen in the universe. Would you would end up watching
Captain America first and then Captain Marvel, which just came out,
in which I feel like, not only do the movies
get better as they come out, like better quality, I
just think like the actors like different. So if you
(04:15):
went from watching the first Captain America to watching Captain Marvel,
you just lose a lot. This is true, especially like
The Incredible Hulk, like that technology was so funny, different
in comparison to all of the others. So, and Captain
Marvel did get me a little bit because it is
a prequel. So and you're seeing like, like, what's the
same fury? You're seeing him in there before he gets
(04:37):
his eye scratched out, and that's how you figure out.
So you go through these whole movies of this guy
with a patch on his eye and then you finally
figure out and one of the last one, And I
feel like finding out later makes it better if you
know before I just got all that suspenses. They're so like,
I'm not I'm wondering the whole time, so I want
to keep watching. So I totally I'm so glad you
(04:57):
made me watch him in that order, So release order
much better. All right, So let's get into a phase one.
It starts with iron Man, which came out in two. Yeah.
So iron Man was really good, So I didn't really
know what to expect. I was going into it like
just like, Okay, these are going to be superhero movies.
I loved Batman, I love Transformers. I thought I was
gonna like it. Loved it even more than the Batman movies,
(05:20):
which is really hard for me. Yeah, and so but
like Robert Downey Jr. An Iron Man, watching him like
build that and just seeing evolution of that technology was
so cool. And I think what was cool for me
too is I'm like, throughout this whole series, I'm like,
this has to exist in life in some way, Like
(05:41):
I'm that's not beyond me that this is probably out
there somewhere. Elon Musk is probably doing something like I'm
not against that an iron Man probably exists in real life.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel like that could happen.
It makes sense because it comes from like warror technology,
like he's making military weapons and then he has this
well not Iron Man is set up kind of similar
(06:01):
to our like war situation right now. Yeah, Like that
first movie is very like, yes, like the huge war
that's going on overseas, like and he's there and he
gets captured and these are some crazy people he's dealing with,
and then he escapes by just blown out of there
in a giant Iron Man suit. If he can build
it in a cave in a movie, I'm pretty sure
(06:22):
we can figure it out in real life. So then
it goes into The Incredible Hulk U the same year,
which the weird thing about this one is it's Edward
Norton plays a Hulk in this and then he never returns. Yeah,
and then it goes to Mark Mark Ruffalo. I the
first Incredible Hulk I didn't like in comparison to all
of the other movies that didn't like, mostly because there
wasn't a lot of backstory and like immediately went into
(06:44):
the action. It was like a two minute snippet of
what happened and how the Hulk became the Hulk, and
then all of a sudden he's on the run and
it's all action, and so you're not really getting a
lot about him or why he was in the lab
in the first place. It kind of starts to show
you throughout the movie, but it just didn't feel like
that plot was as good set up as the other one,
(07:06):
which is a shame because the Whole himself is a
great character, but they just didn't really get a story right.
They even came out with the whole movie like way
before this. It's like in like two thousand three that
was horrible, like really boring, and then them doing this
one was like the remake of Value and it's still
it's still just missed the mark it did, And in
comparison to all of them, it wasn't a bad movie
(07:27):
by any means, Like it was still good and you
still know who the Whole kid is and stuff, but
just in comparison to all of the rest of the
movies in that universe, it's not good. I say probably
all of them really rings down there as one of
the worst. Yes, absolutely agree with you on that one,
and then we get into iron Man too. How do
you feel about this one? Well? I liked it because
you start to see iron Man evolved, He's building other
(07:48):
iron Man's him and Pepper become really serious. Like I
loved watching that play out because Gwyneth Paltrow is awesome
and to see that her evolve into like another iron
Man to like later on is really cool. Throughout all
of the Iron Man movies, especially in this one too,
I just felt like he was so cocky and it
would bother me so much. I'm like, please stop doing this, er,
(08:09):
you're ruining it, Like you're you have so much at
your hands and you're ruining it because you're so cocky
and you're so and you know you're so good. So
I like always found myself in a battle with iron
Man that I loved him and I loved his character,
but I also didn't like his personality. Sometimes I was like,
please stop doing this, like I want to love you,
you know what I mean. Like, but but that's Robert
(08:30):
Downey Jr. And he was so good at that because
that was that character. That's who he was supposed to be,
was this really high profile technology guy and very fit
stereotype of that, you know. So I loved it. I
just really I really had a battle with Iron Man
because I loved him, but I hated the personality that
came out sometimes. So then we get into yes, Chris Hemsworth.
(08:55):
Chris Hemsworth, Oh man, he's just great. I that was
probably I see. I like in the Marvel universe that
they had a lot of humor and all of them too,
so like you gilt laughing in there, it wasn't always
so serious or so action packed. And I felt like
Thor was the first time that I was laughing a lot.
Like the other ones I would have laughing moments, but Thor,
like I was laughing a lot, and I feel like, yeah,
(09:15):
that's when I started to cut through a little more. Yes,
that that humor was really coming through with Chris Himsworth
and him as Thor, like he was just he was
translating so many different pieces of his acting abilities, and
I like, I fell in love with who he is
as an actor just that much more in that movie.
So and watching him in that role, I get why
people are obsessed with Chris Hemsworth. Like he's basically the
(09:36):
Prince Charming of the Marvel Marvel Universe. So yeah, I
liked him in that one Captain America, the first avenger
Ina I accidentally watched first, But that was crazy. I
that plot line of like him being this really small
kid and being bullied and getting like becoming Jack to
(09:58):
be the person everybody looks up to. I loved that storyline,
Like that was the coolest storyline to me. Everybody else
kind of had a way in, you know what I mean,
and he just kind of got chosen by a random
conversation over you know, being overheard, and he got like
the great end of the deal. So like, I feel
like his backstory is the best one. And how he
(10:20):
got to where he is and how he continues to
use that power, like he never took advantage of it,
and he always kept fighting and he to to like
go back and keep doing things when everybody told him
that he wouldn't be able to do it was really cool.
So like I just felt really connected to that character.
So that kind of gives you a hint that it
potentially might be my favorite. Well, and I will say,
and I think I I do say, like maybe this
(10:42):
is the one that you watch out of order, because
me watching that first was my first Avenger, you know
what I mean? So like to me, I hadn't met
iron Man yet, so I did get to see Chris
Evans become the first Avenger, and maybe that was like
kind of that difference for me because I hadn't fallen
in love with iron Man, and maybe that's why I, like,
I got set up. I'm proscared myself because I watched
(11:04):
it first. And then we get to the Avengers, the
first one where you see everybody on screen for the
first time. How did you feel? I loved it. I
was so happy, Like I equivalent that are like equivalent
to me seeing my puppy when I come home, Like
I was just so happy inside. I was like, they're
all together, they're banding, But it was like you you
(11:24):
kind of go through the struggle because you're also like
yelling at the screen, like why don't you guys get along?
You're all on the same team because for so long
they don't like each other and they're fighting with each other,
and there have all these egos happening, you know, because
they're all superheroes and they like don't get along. So
you're kind of like yelling at the screen like why
can't you just like be friends. But then by the
end of it, they're all like happy and battling together
(11:45):
and it's great, but you do I do see and
that Avengers, like you see that tension between Captain America
and Iron Man. It was like they were always battling
for who was going to be the leader. So watching them,
you see that tension throughout that whole thing, even though
they're getting along and even though they're fighting on the
same team, you feel it like they're just not always
(12:06):
on the same page. And it's because like Iron Man
was so technologically advanced and Captain America was so much
like a soldier, you know what I mean, They different
ideas of what was good. So I just watching those
two play out in general was really fun. What did
you think of like seeing the first Avengers in them altogether?
I think just that that scene of them like all
(12:27):
fighting at the very end was like the most iconic
scene out of the entire franchise, out of like the
End Game though, I think so because at that moment
you just see everybody like that's like the first time
I had like a feeling in theaters like this is
I'm watching something really special here. And the first time
the whole colkes out is like my favorite moment ever. Yeah,
that is that you're waiting for that for so long
and finally they get the whole right with Mark Ruffalo
(12:49):
and then the whole time you're waiting for him to
change and then it finally happened and you're like, this
is amazing. It's during him being like totally undefeatable, which
is also bizarre. So your favorite one from phase one,
I would say the Avenger. Yeah, just all of them
together like that was really cool, especially the very last
moment when they're like on low key and they're like
(13:10):
all like standing in front of him and they're about
to defeat it, and that was cool because they're just
all standing there, like they finally got it together to
all be in one room and not hate each other
and focus on the same thing. That that was a
cool moment too. All right, So that's Phase one. We'll
get back right in a second and do phase two.
(13:31):
All right, Let's talk about Phase two now, which starts
with Iron Man three. That that would mess with my
heart because the end of that movie ends it like
there's no Iron Man, Like there's never gonna be an
Iron Man coming back because he he has surgery on
his heart, so he doesn't need the glowing thing, and
I feel like the glowing thing is what makes Iron Man,
you know what I mean. So it was a great movie,
(13:54):
great film on its own, but like that ending wrecked me.
I was like, so, I mean, if I knew that
there was more movies coming out, but as somebody who
probably watched that and there weren't other movies, like, you're
probably like, cool, iron Man's done forever, you know what
I mean? After that one, yeah, Like and so his
heart was gone. So that was kind of a bummer
for me because that was like, really what powered Iron
(14:15):
Man for me? What about World? I liked it. The
brother situation with Loki was really confusing because like he
would disappear and turn into other things, so you kind
of really start to see the sorcery in the universe
that exists, and so there was a lot of moments
that I was pretty confused. I was like, is he alive?
Is he dead? What was happening? And then the end
where he is like the Dad, and I'm like, that
(14:36):
wasn't the Dad, and so it sets it up for
another movie. But the whole time I was like, I
don't know who's who at this point. So I liked
that movie, but it did confuse me a lot, so
I wasn't like as much I was trying to figure
out what was happening more than I could like just
enjoy the movie. Do you know what I mean? Did
you feel like the series, like the whole movie started
to get a little weaker in this phase, Yes, which
(14:57):
is really weird because when it comes back in the
next one it's really strong. Yeah, I feel like this
is the weakest of it. I feel like in this one,
there's a lot of building up and they're like setting
up these movies with the plot lines are just aren't
as good. Yes, like you you're just kind of were
just like kind of waiting for those big moments to happen,
and there was a few and far between. Captain America
The Winter Soldier. I loved this movie. I think the
(15:19):
best one, the best Captain America. Yes, definitely best Captain America.
Biggest plot twist potentially of the whole series, um, because
you can kind of predict everything else that's coming and
all just the action part of it, and you're starting
to see the high technology come out and the different
lines that get blurred like Hydra Bean and shields and
(15:40):
things that are happening. That was just that movie was
just fantastic and every sense to me. And it has
like the best action out of all of them. Yes,
and very intense Yes, and you and and seeing that
the that um Bucky has like it's just under this control.
You're just seeing a lot of things play out in
that movie. But yeah, that was a good one. I
love that one. And then we get The Guardians of
(16:00):
the Galaxy where it kind of takes an entire turn
away from all the Avengers and you're introduced to this
whole new cast of characters. How do you feel about that?
I didn't like it at first because because I liked it,
they were all connecting, you know what I mean, And
then you go into this other syde of part and
I'm like, wait, what's the connection? I find it interesting
since you haven't seen these in theaters, how it felt
(16:21):
going into this one didn't have a different feel it did.
I mean, I felt like I was watching a different part.
And until they started talking about where they were at
in the universe, you don't realize that they're in just
a whole other different area of life basically, so like
then you start to understand that they're why the Avengers
are not in it or anything. But like every other
movie is setting up for other Avengers and different things happening,
(16:43):
but this one was just like the only really like
close thing that happened was the Infinity Stone that actually
worked along with the other movies. Everything else was pretty
much separate. Um, but Baby Group, he's my favorite. I
love Baby Group. And then we get into Avengers Age
of Ultron, which has kind of been dubbed is like
the weakest of the Avengers. How do you feel about it?
(17:03):
I would agree with that it was creepy. Ultron is creepy,
like he just like the way that he talked in
the way he would just creep me out the whole time.
Like that one was difficult for me to watch, and
I would agree that it is the weakest, Like Ultron
was just creepy to me. But it's that was one
of those movies that also set up a lot for me,
So that movie kind of felt like a set up
to a lot of other ones. And it's the first
(17:24):
time they mentioned like the endgame, yes, and that there's
things happening outside of what that movie is going to happen.
But yeah, I would agree was definitely the weakest movie.
But did you like that one? Like going, I went
back and watched it before I got into End Game,
and I kind of liked it a little more that time.
But I remember leaving the theater watching that and being like,
it wasn't that great, and like, I didn't like Vision
(17:44):
at the time. Yeah, he's a little odd, it's kind
of weird. But then yeah, later I liked him, but
in that movie, it was just like, this guy's weird.
He's all read and weird. Yeah, it's just the whole
creation of him is really bizarre. Yeah. And then we
end Phase two with aunt Man Paul Redd. Okay, I've
seen this one before before I started knowing and about
the universe or whatever, and I thought it was a
(18:05):
good movie. In comparison to all the other movies, it's
pretty weak. Paul Rudd is great, and he there was
a lot of humor in that movie, more than there
was probably a lot of the other ones. But there
just wasn't a lot of connection to the other characters
at all in that So your favorite of Phase two
definitely Captain America went our Soldier easily. Yeah, I mean
it was just it's just so good. And before we
(18:26):
get into phase three, I do want to hit you
with the spoiler alert, which I like to keep this
a spoiler free podcast, but I felt in order for
Morgan two to really review this movie, we had to
talk about some spoilers. So if you're planning on watching
all the Morvel movies now that you're inspired by Morgan
number two, you may want to stop at this point
of the podcast because there will be some spoilers. So
if you don't care about them, continue listening. But if
you want to come back and listen to this later
(18:48):
after you're caught up to this point, feel free to
do so. Now my feelings won't be hurt. But I
just wanted to issue a spoiler alert. Don't want anybody
in that of me. All right, here we go with
phase three. All right, let's get into Phase three, which
kicks off with Captain America Civil War where there everybody's
fighting each other. That was brutal, Like, was that hard
for you to watch? Because that was hard for me
to watch. I liked it though I liked them fighting
(19:09):
against each other. I think like it when they're not
on the same I do like it. Like, I know
a lot of people are like, we don't want the
two good guys fighting, but I thought it built such
a great tension between Captain America and iron Man that
I loved it play out when they were fighting in
the like cave or whatever that thing and you find
out that the Winter Soldier is who killed iron Man's
(19:30):
Sorry spoil earler, I suppose if you're watching these um
killed iron Man's parents. I was in like shock. I
was like, I loved that. There was enough in there
that I was like shocked and I wasn't ready for it.
Like I wasn't ready for that. That wasn't coming to me.
I don't know if that was just me, but I
was totally shocked by that. And then it just fueled
(19:52):
his rage that much more. And to watch them just
defeat each other, I like, if I didn't know other
movies were coming, I would have thought that was the end.
That's kind of how they leave it. Yeah, yeah, like,
and it kind of is because the movies that followed there,
they don't get along and they don't talk, and then
you get into Doctor Strange, which is kind of a
whole different universe in itself in a way because it's
(20:13):
like Sorcery, yes, not really like Superpowers. I like that
they introduced a new power. It was kind of another
one of those movies that kind of felt added on.
It didn't really connect a lot of dots for you,
you know what I mean, We just added to the universe.
He's a cool character, but it just it was a
simple It was like a different vibe than everything else
(20:34):
of all the movies for me, Like I wasn't feeling
similar plot setups or similar things. It just felt a
little bit disconnected. But I think him as a character
and what he was going to offer was really cool.
He's just kind of like a little added on, but
the Sorcery part was really cool added on. Then we
get into Guard into the Galaxy volume two, which he said,
(20:54):
you didn't really like the first one is much. How
do you feel going into this where's more baby groups?
So I would like, Um, he was just like a funny, cute,
little addition to everything. UM. I liked that the sisters
finally found some peace and like they were able to
start fighting together. Um. I just like and I don't
(21:15):
know if it's because there was not enough of the
introduction of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the other movies,
they just I was just never like connecting with it.
But I liked them on their own as part of
the whole universe as a whole. They're not like my
favorite movies by any means um because you also don't
really learn much about each character either. You know, you're
kind of learning about them as a whole, and in
(21:37):
that one, the whole dad situation is bizarre, pretty crazy well,
and you you just know, like when they show up
there and they're on this like perfect planet, You're like,
this is yeah, like this, this is not how this is.
So like you feel the dad's situation coming. So I
liked it. It just wasn't one of my favorites. But
again maybe group he's a He's a top contender for
(21:59):
a rest characters for me. What about Spider Man Homecoming
in So that was that was cool to watch. So
I've you know, you always hear about Spider Man. He's
probably like a big character that you hear about. If
you don't know anything about Marvel, you probably know about Spiderman's. Yeah, probably,
I'd say the biggest out of all of them because
he had his own movies in the early two thousand's
(22:19):
and people just know the character more than anybody else. Yes,
like just kind of an iconic character, which is kind
of weird, just because they're all really iconic now that
I've actually seen them all. But um, so it was
fun to actually watch and see what Spider Man was about.
I didn't realize it started that he was so young.
I've only heard about like Toby McGuire Spider Man's, so
watching as like a young one was really cool. And
(22:40):
I think the reason they decided to do that was
because of the Toby McGuire ones they did those. He
was like a senior in high school, and then it
goes to him like graduating high school. And then they
rebooted him again with Andrew Garfield, which was like the
same thing, just like a reboot. So they're like, we
gotta make something completely different. We gotta go super young
and make him just like fresh face, and like, well,
this is all really happening to have that perspective, And
(23:01):
I think that's finally why Spider Man worked. Is Tom Holland, Well,
I mean, because you hear so many about these it's
so crazy that it took him so long to find
to figure out what Spider Man's life was going to be.
It sounds like Spider Man got jerked around a lot too,
because he went from so many different ownerships. Yeah, but
I did, like, I liked learning about the iconic Spider Man.
So I think the strongest Thor out of all of
(23:21):
them for sure. Different. I didn't see a long lost
sister coming. That was not something I expected. Um, And
there's a lot of cool like little tidbits in there
how it ended little things that connected to the other movies,
to which I thought was cool. But I definitely thought
that was the strongest Thor out of all the Thor movies.
(23:42):
Long hair Thor or short hair Star. I think long
hair it's that's just Thor to me because you just
short hair, and that's like Captain America, you know what
I mean. Like I think he Thorn needs to have
long hair interesting, but I feel like the long hair
is just like how he started. That's just like Kisse
and he's had it for a thousand years. Yeah, it
(24:04):
was weird seeing him as I like him with short hair,
like Chris Tim's Worth is attractive no matter what. But
long hair Thorn, I think is just what he should be.
And then we get into Black Panther, which is a
phenomenal movie. Yes, so good stand it could stand on
its own, like it really could. It's a great movie. Um.
And I'm also under the belief that that technology exists somewhere.
(24:27):
There's a conduct I do. I believe that in my heart,
like there's just no way there isn't. But that was
just I'll just leave with that. It's a phenomenal movie.
And then we get it to Avengers Infinity War. I
won't hurt my heart a lot. Yeah, does how it ended?
I mean for me, like getting to watch all these
and knowing there was other movies. I knew there was
(24:48):
more coming, but I also was thinking about like people
watching these for the first time, they don't know that
anything else is coming, so as far as they're concerned,
half the universe is gone, you know what I mean.
And like, you watch and you see so many pivotal
like moments that happened in big characters that get wiped away,
and you're like, so, what's next. I mean, you have
(25:08):
the hope that they're going to be able to reverse
it or whatever, but you know something bad is happening.
For them to be able to reverse it. Like watching
What Happened? Do you know what I mean? Thanos? Oh,
you just hate him so much, like he portrayed perfectly
because I hated him with everything that I had. Which
is an interesting thing in this because I think throughout
the entire Marvel universe it wasn't until they got Danos
(25:32):
that they had a real villain. Yeah. Could you could
you remember the villain from like Iron Man to know it? Oh,
it was the guy in the company right like from there,
from even before they're like all the villains are like
they're there one time and then they're gone. But once
they get the Thanos is like, oh, this is a
real force to be reckoned with, and this is like
a real guy you hate. That is absolutely true because
before they defeat them all and you're like the Avengers
(25:54):
can do anything, but now it's like the Avengers can't
do everything, and he knows is a real yeah, and
he was like he was undefeatable. Really, I mean, he
had every power, you know what I mean. So like
you're sitting there and you're like, great, this is not
going to end well, and then it doesn't and you're sad.
I cheered up a little bit. I will say that
(26:14):
you admitted it there. And then we get into ant
Man in the Wasp, again, another kind of added on
movie I don't understand. I like the add on of
ant Man in the movies. As far as him having
his own movies, I don't really see the need for them.
They were good movies on their own. As far as
adding to the series, I just don't think they really
did too much. And then we get to Captain Marvel.
(26:36):
I love her, love her like and it's I always
thought the whole time that Black Widow was underrated, like
throughout the whole thing, because she is such a powerful
character and she was in so many of those movies,
probably the most movies of any of those, yeah, without
get and so I had one of that. And obviously
(26:57):
there is a Black Widow prequel coming out this year.
You had told me, so I'm excited for that. But
this was like the first, like finally a female powerhouse
that was coming in and to come in and have
like the strongest power out of anybody, and watching her
like zoom around in the air, like yell and scream
like she was so excited. I just like that was
(27:17):
a cool, empowering women superhero movie, you know what I mean.
I just felt like it was about time for that
to be added into the Marvel universe and her characters,
Like the story to the background is really cool, and
I think in this one it's really important. Like at
the end of Infinity War that the end credit scene
where it sets up her movie, yes, which you would
have lost out on if you watch Captain Marvel. First,
(27:41):
Fury like pages her and then you're like, what does
this sign? What does this mean? Yeah, and you have
no idea, and then you watch her and you start
to learn about her and having that doctor been Dr Marvel,
she calls her Dr Marvel, but it's Marvel or whatever?
How do you actually pronounce is it Marvel? Marvel? But
she's like saying, it's Dr Marvel? Yeah, but yeah, I
loved that one. And then we make it to Avengers
(28:04):
and Game to end it all. I was destroyed at
the end of that movie. I was crying. And there's
probably gonna be a lot of spoilers in this stuff.
You haven't seen it. At the beginning, there were spoilers.
I I mean, you lose Black Widow, you lose Iron Man,
Captain America gets old also they set it up and
(28:25):
Captain America win or soldier that they had gotten married,
but you didn't know that until Avengers and Game that
they actually didn't get married. The whole time you think
he was never married. So I just pulled out my
hartshrings in every way, and it was such an action
pact when it was Doctor Strange and all of his
kind of sorcerers, when they opened up those circles and
(28:46):
all of these people came through, Like first you see
thor An, iron Man and Captain America standing there together
and they're ready to take it on whatever is about
to happen, And then all of these circles opened up
and everybody comes out. That to me was the coolest
scene in all of the movies because every single piece
(29:07):
of the universe and that was just so cool to me,
Like that was my favorite moment amongst everything else. Watching
that happen was so cool. But then of course iron
Man defeats Thanos with the glove and watching like that
Doctor Strange moment where he like points to iron Man
(29:28):
and he just gives them a number one, Like there
was one way that this was going to happen, and
it was like they connected, they figured out what it was,
and Iron Man immediately like didn't think twice and that
just like that destroyed me, Like that was the one
way because he was going to be the only one
that could do it. So did you feel this movie
was a good clothes on everything? I mean yeah, but
(29:48):
it makes me so sad because I want more, you
know what I mean, Like you just want so much more,
you don't want it to be over. But I yeah,
it was such a good ending. I mean, somebody was
going to have to die, it was going to have
to happen, like whatever it was going to be, But
you're just not ready for it. You were never going
to be ready for it. I was really defeated after
(30:08):
that movie. So your favorite of Phase three and then
what are your favorite out of all of them? Yeah?
I think I think it was in Game. I mean
it just has to be. That was the best scene
of all of them coming together. If if I chose
one that was outside of the Avengers altogether, would be
Captain Marvel. I really loved her coming into the universe.
I loved her power and everything about her. So if
I chose one outside of that, it would be her.
(30:29):
But ofers in game. They did phenomenal. And then your
favorite of the entire Marvel Comic universe. I'm going to
set aside all of the together of Injurors movies because
he was going to be the good ones. You know,
it's like the greatest hits. Yes, they will always be
the good ones. So setting those aside, it's it's really
close tie between Captain Marvel and Captain America The Winter Soldier.
(30:51):
I think those two are my favorite. Really, yeah. I
just between the two a lot of backstory, a lot
of action, a lot of different things. I love a
female lead. It's really hard for me to like go
away from a female lead. So I love Captain Marvel
for that. But then Captain America Winter Soldier just had
everything in that movie had hints, it had action, it
had plot, twist, just everything. And I could probably watch them.
(31:16):
Those two movies I could watch over and over again
and not be bored. So I would have to say
those are what's your favorite? For me? The For the
longest time, it was Iron Man, The Original iron The
Original Iron Man. Like I loved Iron Man one and two,
and then by the time I got to three, I
thought that one was the weakest of the Iron Man,
like my favorite all time superhero spider Man. You love
spider Man, and by the time they got him right
(31:38):
with Tom Holland, it was all out my favorite. Like
every one of those movies has been my favorite, and
once they added him in to the movie and that
Captain America scene when you first see him in the suit,
my favorite. It has to be my favorite. Well, and
that makes sense because he references movies all the time,
so that totally makes sense to me now to like,
even when he's fighting, he's sitting there like, hey, you
remember that one movie, and this is what's happening. Oh.
(31:59):
That that my sense. But from the Avengers, though, my
favorite is Infinity War. You like Infinity War more than
End Game? Yeah? I just felt like that was a
more solid all around movie really, and then I feel
like I like the way that Endgame, you know, closed
out everything, but I felt like Infinity War it just
set up the story so much better and just the
(32:21):
action in the drama, and that one was a lot better.
And then I felt like Endgame kind of picked up
and is a part two of that movie. Okay, So,
so to you Invengers, Infinity War is kind of the
o g of those two. I think, So that's the
one I go back and watch. I could see that.
I mean, they're they're just so they're both so good.
Imagine if you put those two together in a full
movie and you just watched them without a brain, essentially
(32:43):
could because they filled them at the same time, and
they kind of take place right after that one's done. Yeah,
but but the the wiping away of people just was
so hard for me. I think that's why it wasn't
my favorite, because I I like, especially when Spider Man
was like, I don't want to go and ironed me.
It's like a got you cry. I'm like, oh my gosh,
what is happening? So we have to look forward in
(33:05):
this year in Marvel Is there's two movies, Black Widow
and The Eternals, which is essentially kind of like the
New Avengers, but there's rumored to be an Avengers like
another one later down the line. Okay, tell me more
about this, because what are the internals and tell me
what the potential Avengers for is going to be. So
the Eternals is kind of like these characters from just
the comic books, and it's gonna be their first movie.
(33:27):
But it's like different superheroes within this movie. But they're
not really saying if they're going to break apart and
have their own movies. So I don't really think they'll
make an Avengers out of this cast. But it's the
first thing we're gonna see again where there's like a
bunch of just big names in one movie. So but
they're all new superheroes like this will have nothing to
do with them. But I think what they're plotting, plotting
(33:48):
on doing for another Avengers movie is taking people from
the other because there are still around. Yeah, and he
he like left off with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
So there's also later down the line going to be
another Gardens of the Galaxy, maybe with Door. I was
gonna say, do you think Thor will show up? I
think it'd be great the way that one ends of him,
um the Leader. I think that's a great storyline to follow.
I'm curious to see if they do any kind of
(34:09):
Avengers because I mean, they have Captain Marvel now too.
They still have a lot of Avengers, yea, So take
those people who you still have, introduce these new characters
and see who works in another movie. I mean, then
you still have the Spider Man. He has Spider Man too,
still for at least another two movies. Oh yeah, so
what else do I have left to watch? You're You're done,
Now you're done. Um, Once Black Widow comes out, you
(34:31):
gotta watch that, and then Eternals comes out later this year,
and then next year they roll out the rest of
the movies. So is the Spider Man into the Spider Verse?
Is that like a separate that's a separate thing. Yeah. Okay,
also a great movie though, But that was a cartoon
one right, the cartoon Okay. I do like those though,
so I'll have to watch that all right. This has
been fun. Yeah, So what did you think about my reviews?
(34:52):
Were they pretty spot on for somebody who watched them
in the orders? Yeah? I think it's interesting how you
watch them all at once and you kind of took
so much information in a one time and then we're
able to like to pick up on all the themes
and everything. Yes, I am such an avid movie person,
but I'm a really bad binger. So if I get
stuck on something and I started, I won't quit until
(35:13):
I end it. So like that's what's really bad about me.
Maybe if anybody else does this and decides depends him,
don't do it as like I did, because I was
unhealthy for probably three weeks watching these movies. But you
got them all in. It's amazing. They were so good.
So the next thing you're gonna take on is all
the Star Wars movies. So I want to have you
back after you watch all okay, and there's there's much less,
much less. There's like nine total, and then I'm gonna
(35:34):
go back and rewatch those two because it's been a
minute and I've seen the very early ones, so that
way we'll come into this both kind of fresh on that.
Okay deal. Alright, cool, This has been Morgan number two.

hm
Hello, and welcome back to another week of Movie Mix
Movie Podcast. My name is movie Mike on Twitter and
Instagram at Mike d Strow. In a very special episode
this week, I'm bringing in Morgan number two, who I
work with on The Bobby Bones Show, and she did
something crazy. She watched every single Marvel movie in like
three weeks. So we're gonna do is go through each
movie in every single phase and talk about and review
(00:21):
these This all came about because one of the biggest
questions I got on my email, which is movie Mike
d at gmail dot com, where you can submit movie questions.
A lot of people ask what order you should watch
the Marvel movies in, so we'll get into that. And
a lot of people who listened to the Bobby Bones
Show as well heard that Morgan number two is doing
this and watching all the Marvel movies, so they suggested
that I bring her on. So this is what we're
(00:42):
doing this episode. And I know that I like to
keep this a spoiler free podcast, but I felt in
order to really get into these Marvel movies and explain
them and review them, we kind of had to give
some spoiler alerts in there, and a lot of these
have been out for a while now, and I felt
that Endgame was such a big movie that you kind
of had to talk about the spoilers a bit. But
if you haven't seen this one, just know that by
the time we start talking about phase three is where
(01:05):
there will be some spoilers. So just the heads up
on that. If you don't want to watch up to
then come back and listen to this later by the
time you get to that. So a bit of a
different format on this episode, just because I wanted to
cover everything in such great detail. But here we go
with Morgan number two, who watched every single Marvel movie
for the first time. Let's get started. In a world
where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man
(01:26):
stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before
in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge,
he's basically like a walking on MTV with classes from
the Nashville Podcast Network is movie Movie podcast. And I'm
here now with Morgan number two. Yeah, are you doing
(01:49):
I'm good. I just finished twenty three Marvel movie, which
is insane. We're not heard you were doing this. I'm like,
this is what most people took ten years to do
and you did it all in how long? I have?
Pretty much three weeks? Yeah, I finished it and you
never I mean, you've seen a couple of Marvel movies
before this, right, Yeah. I had seen the ant Man movies,
Aunt Man, A Man in the Wasp and then Black Panther.
(02:09):
Had no idea they were in connection with anything else,
just thought they were good movies. Okay. So when I
watched them back, I'm like, okay, well there was a
lot of things that I missed that didn't really make
sense to the first time. Yes, okay, So what we're
gonna do is talk about, first of all, to Ordady
watched him in, which is important because I put out
a thing of you know, people could ask me questions,
(02:30):
and one of the biggest thing I got was what
ordered to watch the Marvel movies in? Yes, So we'll
talk about why you watched them in this order, and
then we just want to go through each phase. So
there's three phases of the Marvel movies one, two, and three.
So we'll go through each of what your favorites were
in that, and we'll review them all, and then we'll
talk about what your favorite one out of all of
them were, which is crazy. And so first of all,
(02:51):
you told me that you had already seen Captain America
before you even started. You started with that one, well,
because I looked online and everybody's like by the order
of the time during the movie the timeline which through
the whole universe takes place, Yes, And so I had
originally seen that, and then I was like, I just
need to make sure before I continue on this road
that I'm watching this right. So then you told me
(03:11):
to watch it and release order instead. Yeah, And the
reason I say that is because I mean, that's kind
of how everybody takes them in and that's kind of
the way they were meant to be seen. And I
feel like when you start moving them in order, you
lose a lot of like, well, like the credit scenes
are a big thing in Marvel movies, yes, and it
connects the next movie that's coming out. So I feel
if you started moving them around in order, then you
(03:33):
lose that and it don't make sense. And I'm glad
you told me that. Like the the Captain America, the
first amender, watching that before Iron Man didn't really mess
me up too bad because it was still like a
Phase one movie. But so after that I watched them
all in the release order, and all of the credits
lined up. Everything made sense, all of the pieces were
going together. That was definitely a better order that I
(03:54):
think to be watching them in. I don't know any different,
but the release order definitely helped me because the other
order that's out there is in chronological order that they
happen in the universe. Would you would end up watching
Captain America first and then Captain Marvel, which just came out,
in which I feel like, not only do the movies
get better as they come out, like better quality, I
just think like the actors like different. So if you
(04:15):
went from watching the first Captain America to watching Captain Marvel,
you just lose a lot. This is true, especially like
The Incredible Hulk, like that technology was so funny, different
in comparison to all of the others. So, and Captain
Marvel did get me a little bit because it is
a prequel. So and you're seeing like, like, what's the
same fury? You're seeing him in there before he gets
(04:37):
his eye scratched out, and that's how you figure out.
So you go through these whole movies of this guy
with a patch on his eye and then you finally
figure out and one of the last one, And I
feel like finding out later makes it better if you
know before I just got all that suspenses. They're so like,
I'm not I'm wondering the whole time, so I want
to keep watching. So I totally I'm so glad you
(04:57):
made me watch him in that order, So release order
much better. All right, So let's get into a phase one.
It starts with iron Man, which came out in two. Yeah.
So iron Man was really good, So I didn't really
know what to expect. I was going into it like
just like, Okay, these are going to be superhero movies.
I loved Batman, I love Transformers. I thought I was
gonna like it. Loved it even more than the Batman movies,
(05:20):
which is really hard for me. Yeah, and so but
like Robert Downey Jr. An Iron Man, watching him like
build that and just seeing evolution of that technology was
so cool. And I think what was cool for me
too is I'm like, throughout this whole series, I'm like,
this has to exist in life in some way, Like
(05:41):
I'm that's not beyond me that this is probably out
there somewhere. Elon Musk is probably doing something like I'm
not against that an iron Man probably exists in real life.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel like that could happen.
It makes sense because it comes from like warror technology,
like he's making military weapons and then he has this
well not Iron Man is set up kind of similar
(06:01):
to our like war situation right now. Yeah, Like that
first movie is very like, yes, like the huge war
that's going on overseas, like and he's there and he
gets captured and these are some crazy people he's dealing with,
and then he escapes by just blown out of there
in a giant Iron Man suit. If he can build
it in a cave in a movie, I'm pretty sure
(06:22):
we can figure it out in real life. So then
it goes into The Incredible Hulk U the same year,
which the weird thing about this one is it's Edward
Norton plays a Hulk in this and then he never returns. Yeah,
and then it goes to Mark Mark Ruffalo. I the
first Incredible Hulk I didn't like in comparison to all
of the other movies that didn't like, mostly because there
wasn't a lot of backstory and like immediately went into
(06:44):
the action. It was like a two minute snippet of
what happened and how the Hulk became the Hulk, and
then all of a sudden he's on the run and
it's all action, and so you're not really getting a
lot about him or why he was in the lab
in the first place. It kind of starts to show
you throughout the movie, but it just didn't feel like
that plot was as good set up as the other one,
(07:06):
which is a shame because the Whole himself is a
great character, but they just didn't really get a story right.
They even came out with the whole movie like way
before this. It's like in like two thousand three that
was horrible, like really boring, and then them doing this
one was like the remake of Value and it's still
it's still just missed the mark it did, And in
comparison to all of them, it wasn't a bad movie
(07:27):
by any means, Like it was still good and you
still know who the Whole kid is and stuff, but
just in comparison to all of the rest of the
movies in that universe, it's not good. I say probably
all of them really rings down there as one of
the worst. Yes, absolutely agree with you on that one,
and then we get into iron Man too. How do
you feel about this one? Well? I liked it because
you start to see iron Man evolved, He's building other
(07:48):
iron Man's him and Pepper become really serious. Like I
loved watching that play out because Gwyneth Paltrow is awesome
and to see that her evolve into like another iron
Man to like later on is really cool. Throughout all
of the Iron Man movies, especially in this one too,
I just felt like he was so cocky and it
would bother me so much. I'm like, please stop doing this, er,
(08:09):
you're ruining it, Like you're you have so much at
your hands and you're ruining it because you're so cocky
and you're so and you know you're so good. So
I like always found myself in a battle with iron
Man that I loved him and I loved his character,
but I also didn't like his personality. Sometimes I was like,
please stop doing this, like I want to love you,
you know what I mean. Like, but but that's Robert
(08:30):
Downey Jr. And he was so good at that because
that was that character. That's who he was supposed to be,
was this really high profile technology guy and very fit
stereotype of that, you know. So I loved it. I
just really I really had a battle with Iron Man
because I loved him, but I hated the personality that
came out sometimes. So then we get into yes, Chris Hemsworth.
(08:55):
Chris Hemsworth, Oh man, he's just great. I that was
probably I see. I like in the Marvel universe that
they had a lot of humor and all of them too,
so like you gilt laughing in there, it wasn't always
so serious or so action packed. And I felt like
Thor was the first time that I was laughing a lot.
Like the other ones I would have laughing moments, but Thor,
like I was laughing a lot, and I feel like, yeah,
(09:15):
that's when I started to cut through a little more. Yes,
that that humor was really coming through with Chris Himsworth
and him as Thor, like he was just he was
translating so many different pieces of his acting abilities, and
I like, I fell in love with who he is
as an actor just that much more in that movie.
So and watching him in that role, I get why
people are obsessed with Chris Hemsworth. Like he's basically the
(09:36):
Prince Charming of the Marvel Marvel Universe. So yeah, I
liked him in that one Captain America, the first avenger
Ina I accidentally watched first, But that was crazy. I
that plot line of like him being this really small
kid and being bullied and getting like becoming Jack to
(09:58):
be the person everybody looks up to. I loved that storyline,
Like that was the coolest storyline to me. Everybody else
kind of had a way in, you know what I mean,
and he just kind of got chosen by a random
conversation over you know, being overheard, and he got like
the great end of the deal. So like, I feel
like his backstory is the best one. And how he
(10:20):
got to where he is and how he continues to
use that power, like he never took advantage of it,
and he always kept fighting and he to to like
go back and keep doing things when everybody told him
that he wouldn't be able to do it was really cool.
So like I just felt really connected to that character.
So that kind of gives you a hint that it
potentially might be my favorite. Well, and I will say,
and I think I I do say, like maybe this
(10:42):
is the one that you watch out of order, because
me watching that first was my first Avenger, you know
what I mean? So like to me, I hadn't met
iron Man yet, so I did get to see Chris
Evans become the first Avenger, and maybe that was like
kind of that difference for me because I hadn't fallen
in love with iron Man, and maybe that's why I, like,
I got set up. I'm proscared myself because I watched
(11:04):
it first. And then we get to the Avengers, the
first one where you see everybody on screen for the
first time. How did you feel? I loved it. I
was so happy, Like I equivalent that are like equivalent
to me seeing my puppy when I come home, Like
I was just so happy inside. I was like, they're
all together, they're banding, But it was like you you
(11:24):
kind of go through the struggle because you're also like
yelling at the screen, like why don't you guys get along?
You're all on the same team because for so long
they don't like each other and they're fighting with each other,
and there have all these egos happening, you know, because
they're all superheroes and they like don't get along. So
you're kind of like yelling at the screen like why
can't you just like be friends. But then by the
end of it, they're all like happy and battling together
(11:45):
and it's great, but you do I do see and
that Avengers, like you see that tension between Captain America
and Iron Man. It was like they were always battling
for who was going to be the leader. So watching them,
you see that tension throughout that whole thing, even though
they're getting along and even though they're fighting on the
same team, you feel it like they're just not always
(12:06):
on the same page. And it's because like Iron Man
was so technologically advanced and Captain America was so much
like a soldier, you know what I mean, They different
ideas of what was good. So I just watching those
two play out in general was really fun. What did
you think of like seeing the first Avengers in them altogether?
I think just that that scene of them like all
(12:27):
fighting at the very end was like the most iconic
scene out of the entire franchise, out of like the
End Game though, I think so because at that moment
you just see everybody like that's like the first time
I had like a feeling in theaters like this is
I'm watching something really special here. And the first time
the whole colkes out is like my favorite moment ever. Yeah,
that is that you're waiting for that for so long
and finally they get the whole right with Mark Ruffalo
(12:49):
and then the whole time you're waiting for him to
change and then it finally happened and you're like, this
is amazing. It's during him being like totally undefeatable, which
is also bizarre. So your favorite one from phase one,
I would say the Avenger. Yeah, just all of them
together like that was really cool, especially the very last
moment when they're like on low key and they're like
(13:10):
all like standing in front of him and they're about
to defeat it, and that was cool because they're just
all standing there, like they finally got it together to
all be in one room and not hate each other
and focus on the same thing. That that was a
cool moment too. All right, So that's Phase one. We'll
get back right in a second and do phase two.
(13:31):
All right, Let's talk about Phase two now, which starts
with Iron Man three. That that would mess with my
heart because the end of that movie ends it like
there's no Iron Man, Like there's never gonna be an
Iron Man coming back because he he has surgery on
his heart, so he doesn't need the glowing thing, and
I feel like the glowing thing is what makes Iron Man,
you know what I mean. So it was a great movie,
(13:54):
great film on its own, but like that ending wrecked me.
I was like, so, I mean, if I knew that
there was more movies coming out, but as somebody who
probably watched that and there weren't other movies, like, you're
probably like, cool, iron Man's done forever, you know what
I mean? After that one, yeah, Like and so his
heart was gone. So that was kind of a bummer
for me because that was like, really what powered Iron
(14:15):
Man for me? What about World? I liked it. The
brother situation with Loki was really confusing because like he
would disappear and turn into other things, so you kind
of really start to see the sorcery in the universe
that exists, and so there was a lot of moments
that I was pretty confused. I was like, is he alive?
Is he dead? What was happening? And then the end
where he is like the Dad, and I'm like, that
(14:36):
wasn't the Dad, and so it sets it up for
another movie. But the whole time I was like, I
don't know who's who at this point. So I liked
that movie, but it did confuse me a lot, so
I wasn't like as much I was trying to figure
out what was happening more than I could like just
enjoy the movie. Do you know what I mean? Did
you feel like the series, like the whole movie started
to get a little weaker in this phase, Yes, which
(14:57):
is really weird because when it comes back in the
next one it's really strong. Yeah, I feel like this
is the weakest of it. I feel like in this one,
there's a lot of building up and they're like setting
up these movies with the plot lines are just aren't
as good. Yes, like you you're just kind of were
just like kind of waiting for those big moments to happen,
and there was a few and far between. Captain America
The Winter Soldier. I loved this movie. I think the
(15:19):
best one, the best Captain America. Yes, definitely best Captain America.
Biggest plot twist potentially of the whole series, um, because
you can kind of predict everything else that's coming and
all just the action part of it, and you're starting
to see the high technology come out and the different
lines that get blurred like Hydra Bean and shields and
(15:40):
things that are happening. That was just that movie was
just fantastic and every sense to me. And it has
like the best action out of all of them. Yes,
and very intense Yes, and you and and seeing that
the that um Bucky has like it's just under this control.
You're just seeing a lot of things play out in
that movie. But yeah, that was a good one. I
love that one. And then we get The Guardians of
(16:00):
the Galaxy where it kind of takes an entire turn
away from all the Avengers and you're introduced to this
whole new cast of characters. How do you feel about that?
I didn't like it at first because because I liked it,
they were all connecting, you know what I mean, And
then you go into this other syde of part and
I'm like, wait, what's the connection? I find it interesting
since you haven't seen these in theaters, how it felt
(16:21):
going into this one didn't have a different feel it did.
I mean, I felt like I was watching a different part.
And until they started talking about where they were at
in the universe, you don't realize that they're in just
a whole other different area of life basically, so like
then you start to understand that they're why the Avengers
are not in it or anything. But like every other
movie is setting up for other Avengers and different things happening,
(16:43):
but this one was just like the only really like
close thing that happened was the Infinity Stone that actually
worked along with the other movies. Everything else was pretty
much separate. Um, but Baby Group, he's my favorite. I
love Baby Group. And then we get into Avengers Age
of Ultron, which has kind of been dubbed is like
the weakest of the Avengers. How do you feel about it?
(17:03):
I would agree with that it was creepy. Ultron is creepy,
like he just like the way that he talked in
the way he would just creep me out the whole time.
Like that one was difficult for me to watch, and
I would agree that it is the weakest, Like Ultron
was just creepy to me. But it's that was one
of those movies that also set up a lot for me,
So that movie kind of felt like a set up
to a lot of other ones. And it's the first
(17:24):
time they mentioned like the endgame, yes, and that there's
things happening outside of what that movie is going to happen.
But yeah, I would agree was definitely the weakest movie.
But did you like that one? Like going, I went
back and watched it before I got into End Game,
and I kind of liked it a little more that time.
But I remember leaving the theater watching that and being like,
it wasn't that great, and like, I didn't like Vision
(17:44):
at the time. Yeah, he's a little odd, it's kind
of weird. But then yeah, later I liked him, but
in that movie, it was just like, this guy's weird.
He's all read and weird. Yeah, it's just the whole
creation of him is really bizarre. Yeah. And then we
end Phase two with aunt Man Paul Redd. Okay, I've
seen this one before before I started knowing and about
the universe or whatever, and I thought it was a
(18:05):
good movie. In comparison to all the other movies, it's
pretty weak. Paul Rudd is great, and he there was
a lot of humor in that movie, more than there
was probably a lot of the other ones. But there
just wasn't a lot of connection to the other characters
at all in that So your favorite of Phase two
definitely Captain America went our Soldier easily. Yeah, I mean
it was just it's just so good. And before we
(18:26):
get into phase three, I do want to hit you
with the spoiler alert, which I like to keep this
a spoiler free podcast, but I felt in order for
Morgan two to really review this movie, we had to
talk about some spoilers. So if you're planning on watching
all the Morvel movies now that you're inspired by Morgan
number two, you may want to stop at this point
of the podcast because there will be some spoilers. So
if you don't care about them, continue listening. But if
you want to come back and listen to this later
(18:48):
after you're caught up to this point, feel free to
do so. Now my feelings won't be hurt. But I
just wanted to issue a spoiler alert. Don't want anybody
in that of me. All right, here we go with
phase three. All right, let's get into Phase three, which
kicks off with Captain America Civil War where there everybody's
fighting each other. That was brutal, Like, was that hard
for you to watch? Because that was hard for me
to watch. I liked it though I liked them fighting
(19:09):
against each other. I think like it when they're not
on the same I do like it. Like, I know
a lot of people are like, we don't want the
two good guys fighting, but I thought it built such
a great tension between Captain America and iron Man that
I loved it play out when they were fighting in
the like cave or whatever that thing and you find
out that the Winter Soldier is who killed iron Man's
(19:30):
Sorry spoil earler, I suppose if you're watching these um
killed iron Man's parents. I was in like shock. I
was like, I loved that. There was enough in there
that I was like shocked and I wasn't ready for it.
Like I wasn't ready for that. That wasn't coming to me.
I don't know if that was just me, but I
was totally shocked by that. And then it just fueled
(19:52):
his rage that much more. And to watch them just
defeat each other, I like, if I didn't know other
movies were coming, I would have thought that was the end.
That's kind of how they leave it. Yeah, yeah, like,
and it kind of is because the movies that followed there,
they don't get along and they don't talk, and then
you get into Doctor Strange, which is kind of a
whole different universe in itself in a way because it's
(20:13):
like Sorcery, yes, not really like Superpowers. I like that
they introduced a new power. It was kind of another
one of those movies that kind of felt added on.
It didn't really connect a lot of dots for you,
you know what I mean, We just added to the universe.
He's a cool character, but it just it was a
simple It was like a different vibe than everything else
(20:34):
of all the movies for me, Like I wasn't feeling
similar plot setups or similar things. It just felt a
little bit disconnected. But I think him as a character
and what he was going to offer was really cool.
He's just kind of like a little added on, but
the Sorcery part was really cool added on. Then we
get into Guard into the Galaxy volume two, which he said,
(20:54):
you didn't really like the first one is much. How
do you feel going into this where's more baby groups?
So I would like, Um, he was just like a funny, cute,
little addition to everything. UM. I liked that the sisters
finally found some peace and like they were able to
start fighting together. Um. I just like and I don't
(21:15):
know if it's because there was not enough of the
introduction of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the other movies,
they just I was just never like connecting with it.
But I liked them on their own as part of
the whole universe as a whole. They're not like my
favorite movies by any means um because you also don't
really learn much about each character either. You know, you're
kind of learning about them as a whole, and in
(21:37):
that one, the whole dad situation is bizarre, pretty crazy well,
and you you just know, like when they show up
there and they're on this like perfect planet, You're like,
this is yeah, like this, this is not how this is.
So like you feel the dad's situation coming. So I
liked it. It just wasn't one of my favorites. But
again maybe group he's a He's a top contender for
(21:59):
a rest characters for me. What about Spider Man Homecoming
in So that was that was cool to watch. So
I've you know, you always hear about Spider Man. He's
probably like a big character that you hear about. If
you don't know anything about Marvel, you probably know about Spiderman's. Yeah, probably,
I'd say the biggest out of all of them because
he had his own movies in the early two thousand's
(22:19):
and people just know the character more than anybody else. Yes,
like just kind of an iconic character, which is kind
of weird, just because they're all really iconic now that
I've actually seen them all. But um, so it was
fun to actually watch and see what Spider Man was about.
I didn't realize it started that he was so young.
I've only heard about like Toby McGuire Spider Man's, so
watching as like a young one was really cool. And
(22:40):
I think the reason they decided to do that was
because of the Toby McGuire ones they did those. He
was like a senior in high school, and then it
goes to him like graduating high school. And then they
rebooted him again with Andrew Garfield, which was like the
same thing, just like a reboot. So they're like, we
gotta make something completely different. We gotta go super young
and make him just like fresh face, and like, well,
this is all really happening to have that perspective, And
(23:01):
I think that's finally why Spider Man worked. Is Tom Holland, Well,
I mean, because you hear so many about these it's
so crazy that it took him so long to find
to figure out what Spider Man's life was going to be.
It sounds like Spider Man got jerked around a lot too,
because he went from so many different ownerships. Yeah, but
I did, like, I liked learning about the iconic Spider Man.
So I think the strongest Thor out of all of
(23:21):
them for sure. Different. I didn't see a long lost
sister coming. That was not something I expected. Um, And
there's a lot of cool like little tidbits in there
how it ended little things that connected to the other movies,
to which I thought was cool. But I definitely thought
that was the strongest Thor out of all the Thor movies.
(23:42):
Long hair Thor or short hair Star. I think long
hair it's that's just Thor to me because you just
short hair, and that's like Captain America, you know what
I mean. Like I think he Thorn needs to have
long hair interesting, but I feel like the long hair
is just like how he started. That's just like Kisse
and he's had it for a thousand years. Yeah, it
(24:04):
was weird seeing him as I like him with short hair,
like Chris Tim's Worth is attractive no matter what. But
long hair Thorn, I think is just what he should be.
And then we get into Black Panther, which is a
phenomenal movie. Yes, so good stand it could stand on
its own, like it really could. It's a great movie. Um.
And I'm also under the belief that that technology exists somewhere.
(24:27):
There's a conduct I do. I believe that in my heart,
like there's just no way there isn't. But that was
just I'll just leave with that. It's a phenomenal movie.
And then we get it to Avengers Infinity War. I
won't hurt my heart a lot. Yeah, does how it ended?
I mean for me, like getting to watch all these
and knowing there was other movies. I knew there was
(24:48):
more coming, but I also was thinking about like people
watching these for the first time, they don't know that
anything else is coming, so as far as they're concerned,
half the universe is gone, you know what I mean.
And like, you watch and you see so many pivotal
like moments that happened in big characters that get wiped away,
and you're like, so, what's next. I mean, you have
(25:08):
the hope that they're going to be able to reverse
it or whatever, but you know something bad is happening.
For them to be able to reverse it. Like watching
What Happened? Do you know what I mean? Thanos? Oh,
you just hate him so much, like he portrayed perfectly
because I hated him with everything that I had. Which
is an interesting thing in this because I think throughout
the entire Marvel universe it wasn't until they got Danos
(25:32):
that they had a real villain. Yeah. Could you could
you remember the villain from like Iron Man to know it? Oh,
it was the guy in the company right like from there,
from even before they're like all the villains are like
they're there one time and then they're gone. But once
they get the Thanos is like, oh, this is a
real force to be reckoned with, and this is like
a real guy you hate. That is absolutely true because
before they defeat them all and you're like the Avengers
(25:54):
can do anything, but now it's like the Avengers can't
do everything, and he knows is a real yeah, and
he was like he was undefeatable. Really, I mean, he
had every power, you know what I mean. So like
you're sitting there and you're like, great, this is not
going to end well, and then it doesn't and you're sad.
I cheered up a little bit. I will say that
(26:14):
you admitted it there. And then we get into ant
Man in the Wasp, again, another kind of added on
movie I don't understand. I like the add on of
ant Man in the movies. As far as him having
his own movies, I don't really see the need for them.
They were good movies on their own. As far as
adding to the series, I just don't think they really
did too much. And then we get to Captain Marvel.
(26:36):
I love her, love her like and it's I always
thought the whole time that Black Widow was underrated, like
throughout the whole thing, because she is such a powerful
character and she was in so many of those movies,
probably the most movies of any of those, yeah, without
get and so I had one of that. And obviously
(26:57):
there is a Black Widow prequel coming out this year.
You had told me, so I'm excited for that. But
this was like the first, like finally a female powerhouse
that was coming in and to come in and have
like the strongest power out of anybody, and watching her
like zoom around in the air, like yell and scream
like she was so excited. I just like that was
(27:17):
a cool, empowering women superhero movie, you know what I mean.
I just felt like it was about time for that
to be added into the Marvel universe and her characters,
Like the story to the background is really cool, and
I think in this one it's really important. Like at
the end of Infinity War that the end credit scene
where it sets up her movie, yes, which you would
have lost out on if you watch Captain Marvel. First,
(27:41):
Fury like pages her and then you're like, what does
this sign? What does this mean? Yeah, and you have
no idea, and then you watch her and you start
to learn about her and having that doctor been Dr Marvel,
she calls her Dr Marvel, but it's Marvel or whatever?
How do you actually pronounce is it Marvel? Marvel? But
she's like saying, it's Dr Marvel? Yeah, but yeah, I
loved that one. And then we make it to Avengers
(28:04):
and Game to end it all. I was destroyed at
the end of that movie. I was crying. And there's
probably gonna be a lot of spoilers in this stuff.
You haven't seen it. At the beginning, there were spoilers.
I I mean, you lose Black Widow, you lose Iron Man,
Captain America gets old also they set it up and
(28:25):
Captain America win or soldier that they had gotten married,
but you didn't know that until Avengers and Game that
they actually didn't get married. The whole time you think
he was never married. So I just pulled out my
hartshrings in every way, and it was such an action
pact when it was Doctor Strange and all of his
kind of sorcerers, when they opened up those circles and
(28:46):
all of these people came through, Like first you see
thor An, iron Man and Captain America standing there together
and they're ready to take it on whatever is about
to happen, And then all of these circles opened up
and everybody comes out. That to me was the coolest
scene in all of the movies because every single piece
(29:07):
of the universe and that was just so cool to me,
Like that was my favorite moment amongst everything else. Watching
that happen was so cool. But then of course iron
Man defeats Thanos with the glove and watching like that
Doctor Strange moment where he like points to iron Man
(29:28):
and he just gives them a number one, Like there
was one way that this was going to happen, and
it was like they connected, they figured out what it was,
and Iron Man immediately like didn't think twice and that
just like that destroyed me, Like that was the one
way because he was going to be the only one
that could do it. So did you feel this movie
was a good clothes on everything? I mean yeah, but
(29:48):
it makes me so sad because I want more, you
know what I mean, Like you just want so much more,
you don't want it to be over. But I yeah,
it was such a good ending. I mean, somebody was
going to have to die, it was going to have
to happen, like whatever it was going to be, But
you're just not ready for it. You were never going
to be ready for it. I was really defeated after
(30:08):
that movie. So your favorite of Phase three and then
what are your favorite out of all of them? Yeah?
I think I think it was in Game. I mean
it just has to be. That was the best scene
of all of them coming together. If if I chose
one that was outside of the Avengers altogether, would be
Captain Marvel. I really loved her coming into the universe.
I loved her power and everything about her. So if
I chose one outside of that, it would be her.
(30:29):
But ofers in game. They did phenomenal. And then your
favorite of the entire Marvel Comic universe. I'm going to
set aside all of the together of Injurors movies because
he was going to be the good ones. You know,
it's like the greatest hits. Yes, they will always be
the good ones. So setting those aside, it's it's really
close tie between Captain Marvel and Captain America The Winter Soldier.
(30:51):
I think those two are my favorite. Really, yeah. I
just between the two a lot of backstory, a lot
of action, a lot of different things. I love a
female lead. It's really hard for me to like go
away from a female lead. So I love Captain Marvel
for that. But then Captain America Winter Soldier just had
everything in that movie had hints, it had action, it
had plot, twist, just everything. And I could probably watch them.
(31:16):
Those two movies I could watch over and over again
and not be bored. So I would have to say
those are what's your favorite? For me? The For the
longest time, it was Iron Man, The Original iron The
Original Iron Man. Like I loved Iron Man one and two,
and then by the time I got to three, I
thought that one was the weakest of the Iron Man,
like my favorite all time superhero spider Man. You love
spider Man, and by the time they got him right
(31:38):
with Tom Holland, it was all out my favorite. Like
every one of those movies has been my favorite, and
once they added him in to the movie and that
Captain America scene when you first see him in the suit,
my favorite. It has to be my favorite. Well, and
that makes sense because he references movies all the time,
so that totally makes sense to me now to like,
even when he's fighting, he's sitting there like, hey, you
remember that one movie, and this is what's happening. Oh.
(31:59):
That that my sense. But from the Avengers, though, my
favorite is Infinity War. You like Infinity War more than
End Game? Yeah? I just felt like that was a
more solid all around movie really, and then I feel
like I like the way that Endgame, you know, closed
out everything, but I felt like Infinity War it just
set up the story so much better and just the
(32:21):
action in the drama, and that one was a lot better.
And then I felt like Endgame kind of picked up
and is a part two of that movie. Okay, So,
so to you Invengers, Infinity War is kind of the
o g of those two. I think, So that's the
one I go back and watch. I could see that.
I mean, they're they're just so they're both so good.
Imagine if you put those two together in a full
movie and you just watched them without a brain, essentially
(32:43):
could because they filled them at the same time, and
they kind of take place right after that one's done. Yeah,
but but the the wiping away of people just was
so hard for me. I think that's why it wasn't
my favorite, because I I like, especially when Spider Man
was like, I don't want to go and ironed me.
It's like a got you cry. I'm like, oh my gosh,
what is happening? So we have to look forward in
(33:05):
this year in Marvel Is there's two movies, Black Widow
and The Eternals, which is essentially kind of like the
New Avengers, but there's rumored to be an Avengers like
another one later down the line. Okay, tell me more
about this, because what are the internals and tell me
what the potential Avengers for is going to be. So
the Eternals is kind of like these characters from just
the comic books, and it's gonna be their first movie.
(33:27):
But it's like different superheroes within this movie. But they're
not really saying if they're going to break apart and
have their own movies. So I don't really think they'll
make an Avengers out of this cast. But it's the
first thing we're gonna see again where there's like a
bunch of just big names in one movie. So but
they're all new superheroes like this will have nothing to
do with them. But I think what they're plotting, plotting
(33:48):
on doing for another Avengers movie is taking people from
the other because there are still around. Yeah, and he
he like left off with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
So there's also later down the line going to be
another Gardens of the Galaxy, maybe with Door. I was
gonna say, do you think Thor will show up? I
think it'd be great the way that one ends of him,
um the Leader. I think that's a great storyline to follow.
I'm curious to see if they do any kind of
(34:09):
Avengers because I mean, they have Captain Marvel now too.
They still have a lot of Avengers, yea, So take
those people who you still have, introduce these new characters
and see who works in another movie. I mean, then
you still have the Spider Man. He has Spider Man too,
still for at least another two movies. Oh yeah, so
what else do I have left to watch? You're You're done,
Now you're done. Um, Once Black Widow comes out, you
(34:31):
gotta watch that, and then Eternals comes out later this year,
and then next year they roll out the rest of
the movies. So is the Spider Man into the Spider Verse?
Is that like a separate that's a separate thing. Yeah. Okay,
also a great movie though, But that was a cartoon
one right, the cartoon Okay. I do like those though,
so I'll have to watch that all right. This has
been fun. Yeah, So what did you think about my reviews?
(34:52):
Were they pretty spot on for somebody who watched them
in the orders? Yeah? I think it's interesting how you
watch them all at once and you kind of took
so much information in a one time and then we're
able to like to pick up on all the themes
and everything. Yes, I am such an avid movie person,
but I'm a really bad binger. So if I get
stuck on something and I started, I won't quit until
(35:13):
I end it. So like that's what's really bad about me.
Maybe if anybody else does this and decides depends him,
don't do it as like I did, because I was
unhealthy for probably three weeks watching these movies. But you
got them all in. It's amazing. They were so good.
So the next thing you're gonna take on is all
the Star Wars movies. So I want to have you
back after you watch all okay, and there's there's much less,
much less. There's like nine total, and then I'm gonna
(35:34):
go back and rewatch those two because it's been a
minute and I've seen the very early ones, so that
way we'll come into this both kind of fresh on that.
Okay deal. Alright, cool, This has been Morgan number two.
