There Was A Time Before Marvel Was Hollywood’s Golden Child
With critical praise and box-office success, Spider-Man: Homecoming is another success for the Marvel. Not just the MCU but for the brand as a whole. In theory, when one does well so do the others. But the same can be said about failures. Sometimes one major mistake can trickle down and hurt others.
This list will be a mix of entire films, franchises, or moments that stink up the joint. Buckle up because this will be a bumpy ride.
2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
– This spot could have easily gone to X-Men: The Last Stand but X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a beast worthy of discussing. Once this franchise stumbled with The Last Stand, it tripped again with this movie. Trying to find things to praise X-Men Origins is nearly impossible. The script is weak and filled with even weaker characters. All of the CGI looks unfinished and like a parody of itself.
The only positive thing to come from this film is comic fans got their first glimpse of Deadpool. Though the filmmakers covered his trademark mouth, it launched enough nerd rage to get a solo Deadpool movie in 2016. So look, I said one nice thing!
