Well I apparently missed some of my brother's favorites. Winter Solider is another one I've yet to see. I'm a little cynical when I go to movies, more often than not. Which only helps the joke, of I hate everything. I straight up did NOT want to see 'The Avengers' in theaters with my friends, but I saw it and it was damn enjoyable. Sort of the same reaction with this movie. Maybe I am a little too cynical. I'll probably never work on it. <.<

How's work going? ;D

See, I didn't like The Avengers. It just felt super generic to me.

Also, work is still endless right now. Thirty hours OT has me at seventy hours per week still. But considering that OT is time and a half, and that some not-too-small parts of what is deducted from my check is in set amounts (Medical insurance, union dues, etc), my take-home pay per check is basically double right now. Sooo, i'm not at all unhappy about it. Tired, but not unhappy.

Home sick again today. Which stinks because I wanted to go see a guardians of the Galaxy after work. Eff.

Get plenty of rest and drink water. Doc's orders.

Oh, wow. I haven't seen you in forever. How are you doing?

Yo Holmes. Things are good, busy, but good. Been getting my chance to travel around and such.

Nice, nice. Good to see you around again.

I'm probably doomed to fade into obscurity again. Just got nostalgic and decided to see what was up.

I know that feeling. Still, always nice to see an old face.

That's nice of you to say. I'll try to at least say hi once and awhile. Considering RPs again but I've been spending what time I had with a few DnD groups that I know. So I don't know.

Dude, GotG 2 was disappointing.

They just turned it into The fucking Three Stooges, basically.

At the risk of sounding pompous, I'll say that most of the jokes were just simple and dumb.

What exactly does that refer to? And you say disappointing. So that infers that you found the first one funny right? So as someone who saw the 2nd and not the first. Why was that one good enough for the 2nd one to be a disappointment? There was one or two jokes I may of rolled my eyes a little at...and it's apparently the -entire- deadpool movie. I'm legit curious, what did the first one have that the 2nd one did not?

I wasn't in love with a lot of the jokes in the first one either, but yes, they were better. The first one was more of an adventure movie, less of a quip delivery system.

EDIT: It's what Avengers 2 is to The Avengers. Less novel, more bloated, uninspired.

@Awson Well I say that because disappointed implies you at least enjoyed the first movie. Though I was under the impression the first GoTG was good because it was "funny." which why I originally was turned off by it because most "comedies" are anything but.

Like tell me some jokes you think didn't work in the second one, (go ahead and put a hider if you must.) just so I have examples...it honestly reminded me of watching a Mel Brooks movie in the comedy parts. What exactly did you not like about the comedy? Was there a particular character that didn't work? Was the comedic timing off? Which jokes felt awkward? I ask because just saying they're dumb, is a little too vague.

It sounds like you feel the 2nd one was just more comedy focused (which is sort of what I expected going in.) But I felt there was plenty of action beats and emotional parts of the movie as well, did you not enjoy those parts either? Do you feel any of the other marvel movies look better visually? How'd you feel about the story itself? Details would be nice. (I've had arguments about movies, where the opponent never saw the movie. So just want to get a more specific baseline to go on.)

Like yeah, Avengers 2 was kind of a damn stupid movie for many reasons. Though I'd argue not really for the same reasons you'd described.

@AwsonDo you even like anything? I've never seen you make a positive remark about something before, at all.

Alright, @Vilageidiotx is my favorite tbh

I take no pleasure in verbosity. I also dislike discussing movies with people who haven't seen the movie(s).

I did enjoy the first movie for the most part, yes. And no, I didn't like it only because it was funny. It was a nice, cool movie that had good funny moments. Vol. 2 not only pushed other things aside to add more jokes, but they actually changed the type of humor in my opinion. I don't think "dumb" is too vague of a description for humor. Immature and not very clever. Too forced at times.

I'll give you one particular. They did twice thrice as many Drax bits as they probably should have.

The visuals were obviously very good. The action, story, and emotional moments were all fine, but all were at least slightly less good than the first.

I'm a fan of banging your mother.

Ah, Drax was used a lot in the movie. (Though I've seen many people thought that he was a highlight/stole the movie.) And I will admit if you didn't like one joke they made, they do repeat a lot of them. :I (Actually the story itself was probably the least good aspect of the movie in my opinion. Since there was things they didn't outright explain. But I didn't mind because everything was just that enjoyable for me.)

But I mean comedy is subjective in the first place, don't mean to sound like I'm disregarding your opinion because its basically the only -good- comedy I've seen in years. Everyone liked Logan and that was a unbelievably forced and shallow as hell movie. So different strokes for different folks I guess. :/

Anything recently that you saw that you -did- enjoy? Just because like me, you apparently don't like anything. :P (aside from mother banging.)
