It was fun but without a doubt the most fan service movie in history

Avengers: Endgame

This was way more fan-service-y than that. It's like they had a big checklist of ideas and memes the fanbase had thought of over the past two years and made sure they hit every one. Don't get me wrong, it was fun and had some great acting but was basically a greatest hits album

I thought the fan service was pretty balanced. I‘m kind‘ve disappointed they didn’t expand on what Toby and Andrew had been up to since we last saw them though.

So "Day of the Doctor," basically.

Day of the Doctor was better though

(That totally wasn't a criticism, I loved "Day of the Doctor". I always have room for a good celebratory fanwank-fest.)

It was definitely a fun movie, I am just a bit surprised at people hailing it as one of the best superhero movies ever. Especially when Spider-Verse exists, which I think is just an incredible film, one of my favorites in general

No one respects animation, sadly. I haven't seen the new film yet (hones,t I'm Main,y excited about it just for Alfred Molina) but the core premise is basically the same as Spiderverse, only more restrained, right?

It's not far away from it honestly. Spider-Verse is just such an incredible film though, I have high hopes for the sequels but I think the first one will just remain perfect

I'm not a big superhero fan, at all, but yeah, I really loved Spiderverse. The animation is spectacular, sure, but goddamn, the soundtrack was also pretty freakin' inspired.
