I don't really like anybody from the Marvel universe? Iron Man was fun for a while but I think RDJ has been over-exposed recently (kinda like Johnny Depp: he's EVERYWHERE and he's always playing HIMSELF).
So you're not against the character, you're against the reception?
Thor is just some bro. Captain America is just some bro. Everybody fawns about Loki, but I can't for the life of me get what's so amazing about the guy. As depictions of the trickster god go, his is pretty tame and boringly dull. Hulk doesn't get a very consistent portrayal, so I can't really give an opinion.
So what exactly is "some bro" and why don't you like them? People like Loki not because of his portrayal of a trickster god, but because it's a good actor playing a smart villain who has depth to them.
Scarlett and Jeremy Renner are just there as Ms. Fanservice and Mr. Filler. Sam Jackson plays himself with an eye-patch.
So what exactly is "Mr. Filler"? Not to mention Samuel Jackson plays Nick Fury, that's how he acts, which is why they hired Jackson for the role despite the fact that Nick Fury is a white guy.
Spider Man was an idiot as Toby Maguire and a freakin' hipster poser as Andrew Garfield.
You're going to have to say how they were these, the last thing I think of when I think hipster is shy nerd, and I don't see how Toby Maguire was an idiot.
The X-Men never really appealed to me, as I posted elsewhere they all have more or less the same powers (half shoot lasers, half read minds, everybody is super strong and super resilient) and I never bought their "mutant plight" and the way they're supposed to be a segregated minority, whining about their awesome super powers (and what the fuck do they study at that school anyway?).
Except they don't all have the same powers, at all, some powers overlap but they all still have unique advantages, and they don't whine about superpowers, their plight is that people hate and fear them because they have these powers, they get pushed away from family, friends, some guys in the government want to kidnap and experiment on them (and possibly kill them all), and they can't do anything about any of these. Keep in mind, theirs only a few mutants who actually understand their powers fully and know how to fight with them, some are murdered simply because they're mutants, some kidnapped (see above) and other people like Rogue almost kill everyone they touch, but maybe you're right, they all need to just relax.
And I'm sick of Wolverine and his lame powers. I don't know what's so interesting about this guy, his fame seems to be based on how cool it would be to have knives in your hands. Yes, "he has a healing factor". WELL SO DOES EVERYBODY ELSE. Anybody can take a beating or a bullet in the movies. That's what action heroes do, they pull through anything.
His fame is based on how he is as a character, on his personality, not on his powers. Funnily enough, he was the guy who finally opened a school for mutants that was an actual school, and not mostly a training camp, incidentally, most action movie stars are handicapped in that they are action movie stars, so it can get pretty ridiculous what you can put them through, whereas Wolverine has a reason for surviving everything.
And I'll trade Cyclops' laser sight any day over Logan's claws - which, by the way, aren't terribly practical. Who am I missing? Yeah I think that covers everybody. The Marvel pantheon of whiny bros and douches.
How aren't they practical? They retract, they don't ever get in the way, that's extremely practical, no you want the ability to not be able to open your eyes ever again without destroying everything you look at. THAT is what's practical to you. Incidentally, they're not lasers, just force beams, they don't burn, they just push, what would you ever use them for considering they're always stuck at maximum power?
You forgot Deadpool by the way.
