    Comic Book Movie Mini Tournament - Day 8

    The only match up that isn't entirely unfair. Movie I haven't seen yet vs one of the greatest MOVIES of all time, not constrained by genre or anything, just a potential GOAT. The Dark Knight wins I don't know. I really don't. Infinity War felt like a bit of a walk down memory lane, a love poem to the generation that enabled geeks to inherit the earth, from Iron Man to Black Panther. As a movie, it started weak (Ragnarok seemed like an afterthought), picked up, ended strong. Wonder Woman was almost the opposite, a gigantic streaming piss over the memories of shit DC movies, showing what could have been, starting strong, gaining strength and ending weak. I give the slightest nod to Wonder Woman with my tried-and-tested method of if both came on TV right now, I'd be more likely to rewatch WW today. But it's the thinnest of margins. The movie they couldn't make (GOTG) which turned out to be good, vs the movie that was expected to be good and turned out phenomenal. Winter Soldier to me is the Marvel movie that really showcased that these could be great standalone films, while GOTG strangely gained pop culture reverence. But, I can't help feel that without Winter Soldier, not as many people would have sparked the fire that became GOTG's mainstream love. So the nod goes to the trailblazer. Homecoming. I feel I need to rewatch GOTG2 a few times, but as much as I loved the character work from the original cast, and I think THEY did their stuff better than the first, fuck I just can't suspend my disbelief for Ego and his planet eating bullshit. It's a step too far.
