The Lone Ranger Movie with Johnny Depp was actually decent.
Stranger Things Season 3 was horrible.
Only some of the MCU movies are excellent, most are just ok.
Code Geass is also very bad.

I honestly liked most of them, but more so pre Endgame. After that itās been kind of hit or miss for me.

Dang, was I the only person who really liked Shang-Chi
I do think thatās fair. Besides No Way Home, Phase 4 hasnāt really been spectacular

Shang Chi was a great premise that was executed very well.
For the first half the movie. Then it got too fantastical and too slow.

I only like the first two Harry Potter films. The franchise works best when the main cast are 10/11/12 year old children going on a whimsical fantasy adventure as opposed to teens or young adults. Also, the series has this uncomfortable progression where it expects you to take the magical world more seriously each time, when in reality the magical conventions they introduce become sillier (time turners, portkeys, apparition, horcruxes), while the characters are supposed to be growing up (and presumably moving on from this fantasy world). Additionally, there is very on-the-nose political commentary in the later films, which imo, is not what this whimsical fantasy adventure should be about. What if Thomas the Tank Engine started bringing up the Nazi party lmao. The series shouldāve ended after Chamber of Secrets. They beat Voldemort and graduate from wizard school at the end of year two. Voldy doesnāt keep coming back. Heās not the head of a terrorist group. He has two servants (Quirrel and Lucius) and thatās it. His sole goal is to torment Harry, not infiltrate the government and build muggle sandwich statues. Ronās rat isnāt a grown man. Snape didnāt have a crush on Harryās mom.

Thomas And the Magic Railroad is actually pretty funny.

The movies, or the books?
Cause when your first two novels are wildly successful, youāre going to write more.

Likus, you mad man, youāve accidentally come up with a mastermind idea
Also, I agree, Harry Potterās entirely overrated.

Sure would be funny if he was involved with transporting some unfortunate peopleā¦

Thomas is based on an actual train that was built around 1913 so if he was built in 1913 he would have seen WWII

None of the MCU Disney+ shows have been good, with the strongly arguable exception of Hawkeye, which should have been a movie instead. Perhaps more controversially, Loki (the show, not the character who appears in previous media) was the worst of the Disney+ offerings by a significant margin.
Like some other people have said, Iām not that excited for the future of the MCU. I think pre-Endgame (that is, including Endgame) MCU was very strong - thatās not to say every movie was great or even āgoodā, but average MCU quality is still waaay higher than average blockbuster/action/superhero quality across-the-board.
And yes, TASM2 is great, although Iām sure Iāve expressed that somewhere else on the boards before.
Book of Boba is really, really bad. Perhaps not controversial in and of itself, but thatās including Episode 5 (though Iāll agree it was the best of the lot).

Out of curiosity, is this because you found Loki to be good, or because you found the other shows to be worse?
