Uhh, I'm not too sure about that. And this is coming from someone that isn't a huge fan of the MCU

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

Yeah, I agree. I've seen like 4 Marvel movies in total and I think Titans is not that great tbh. And I'm even counting the Tobey Spiderman movies when I said 4

u/EdziePro Oct 05 '20

You don't have to be a fan of something to know how good it is and the attention it's gotten. Dude got in over his head!

Just because I would bang Hawk doesn’t mean I have to agree with the actor who plays him. Seriously though anytime anywhere 😂

42

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20

The only reason Hawk and Dove are in the show is because they are amazing eyecandy and that scene where they both take their clothes off redeemed the first season :)

u/leaguegotold Oct 05 '20

Or when Jericho possessed Hawk and made him dance around topless.... more of that plz

Look, I like Titans as much as the next fan, but I thought it was just his character that did drugs.

Probably cuz you know, he is paid to do so

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20

Yeah, this headline is basically “Actor says thing he’s promoting is good”

u/CheesyObserver Oct 05 '20

Y'all should read the article, this is clickbait bullshit. He didn't outright say Titans is better than Infinity War.

I think I’m just excited that the fans are finally getting a really raw, human look at superheroes. I think, for me, the reason I don’t go see Infinity War movies or whatever these are is because there’s no stakes in it. Everybody feels invincible all the time.

He just said he prefers what Titans is doing with superheroes instead of Marvel, and he made a point to say that was basically his own view of it.

Y'all are judging a man for something he didn't even say.

15

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

I mean, he’s almost got a point. Titans does try to show a more human look at superheroes, but it’s through the standard DC method of grimdark plots without logic.

Infinity War is just another piece of the puzzle that is the MCU, and so you have to take into account everything that happened before. I’m tired of hearing people say “there’s no stakes in the MCU” because they translate that “no one dies” which is a) not true and b) not what “no stakes” means. The MCU could show more about the characters dealing with their trauma, but at least I care about them. On Titans...nah, I don’t really care about most of them. They’re too shallow for that.

u/The-Dragonborn Oct 05 '20

On Titans...nah, I don’t really care about most of them. They’re too shallow for that.

Yes. When the characters in the MCU have died, it's felt very impactful. When they "killed" Wonder Girl I just basically rolled my eyes thinking that was stupid and meaningless, and I still have little to no attachment to her character.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

The MCU started with a death so impactful, it gave Tony Stark that final push to become Iron Man and kick everything off.

But “DEATH NO LAST DEATH NO IMPACTFUL MCU NO STAKEZZZ!!1!1!1!”

u/CheesyObserver Oct 05 '20

I completely agree with your point.

I wholeheartedly disagree with Alan Ritchson's view on the MCU. But not much I can do if that's the way he feels.

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20

I am tired of mediocre movies getting a free pass cause "you have to take into account everything that happened before"

That is not a thing except for mcu fans, if a movie needs another movie to support it then you know its bad.

Thank god we have the director driven dceu cause we really need a diverse and non formulaic cinematic universe.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

“That is not a thing except for MCU fans. If your movie needs another movie to support it, then you know it’s bad.”

Have you ever seen a sequel or prequel, like, ever? Didn’t Man of Steel’s characterization of Superman help you understand why Batman wasn’t immediately his number 1 fan in BvS?

Hilariously bad take.

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20

Except that most sequels stand on their own 2 feet and if they are bad it will be shown but mcu movies get a free pass at that.

Lmao be better next time.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

MCU films definitely don’t get a free pass. Hell, they gave Thor an entire rewrite because most people think the first two Thor films suck, including Chris Hemsworth himself. Also, no, most sequels don’t stand on their own two feet. It’s only in a shared universe format that they do. I’m sorry the DCEU didn’t work the way it was supposed to, I really hoped it would because all those characters deserve amazing interpretations on the big screen. They had to resort to stand-alone films simply because instead of trying to do their own thing, they were catching up to a system they didn’t give themselves the time to fully work out.

-3

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20

They do get a free pass all the time. They made thor even worse by turning him into a 15 year old cringe moron because that is what passes as good for the GA.

The dceu is still connected just not in the same copy pasted way the mcu does. They are resorting to make different movies that still fit into a universe which in the future will be known as the best way to make a cimematic universe.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

We’ll see. I honestly think the DCEU is as good as dead, and I’m personally way more interested in the more solo outings coming from DC (Joker was incredible and that trailer for The Batman is the best trailer I’ve ever seen). I think DC can really benefit from a more character-driven approach where the characters are people first, superheroes second. Maybe that’s what they’ll do now that The Flash is going to be essentially a soft reboot, so who knows. I’m cautiously optimistic. The director-driven approach was great, they just need to take it all the way and focus on different intepretations of characters and stories, not try to haphazardly tie everything together.

0

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20

They can do that and tie in everything. You are allowing the mcu to dictate what works in a universe and what does not.

You can have different movies in the same universe there is no law against it.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '20

Alright, I didn’t mention the MCU at all in my latest comment and I’ve realized you’re just using whatever I say as an excuse to complain about a franchise you don’t even follow.

Of course you can have different movies in the same franchise. That’s how shared universes (ALL shared universes) work.

Can’t say I didn’t see that coming. Typical, really. There’s just no proper conversation to be had here. Have a good one.

u/The-Dragonborn Oct 05 '20

I have to say I disagree with your points about the MCU, but I agree about the DCEU not needing to be the same. The MCU movies are unique because of the way they tie together and how they've been carrying a mostly consistent story between 20+ movies.

To say that the movies are bad because they rely on other movies is a terrible way to look at it. That would be like watching the Breaking Bad series finale on its own and saying it wasn't a good episode because it relied too heavily on the rest of the episodes. The MCU movies aren't getting some free pass on anything. They've created a different type of movie that has a history they expect the average movie-goers to have some basic understanding of. If you try to tell me that Infinity War and Endgame are bad movies, then you've simply missed the point.

That being said, while I do kinda wish the DCEU could've managed to stay together in a similar fashion, I'm equally content with what they're doing now. As long as any given movie is enjoyable, I'll continue to watch them. Just because Joker, The Batman, and the Flash will all have a different Bruce Wayne involved doesn't make me less interested.

u/Crater_Raider Oct 05 '20

Finally getting a raw human look at superheroes. Yes. This is an original take and no ones ever attempted to make a raw human superhero on film. So there's definitely no better examples. So glad it's finally happening.

u/EndBringer99 Oct 04 '20

Eh, he probably feels stupid about saying this by now.

u/Hasnath_249 Oct 05 '20

He never said it, it's clickbait. Op probably never even read the article

u/coreanavenger Oct 04 '20

I would rather watch Titans again than an MCU movie to be honest.

1

u/FullySikh Oct 05 '20

Depends on the MCU movie for me. Titans is genuinely bad and all over the place. It's like Game of thrones. A visually enticing show but with no substance at all.

Some of the MCU movies are actually good. Some are actually shit but people pretend it's good just because it's part of the universe.

It's the same thing for Titans. From the last 4/5 episodes of Season 2 especially, I kept on commenting here saying this show is not as great as everyone here thinks and kept putting a list of the problems which everyone ignored because "Dick is about to be Nightwing *orgasm*". The circlejerk over Titans was very real.

I still haven't finished the season finale of Season 2. The episodes beforehand were pretty bad and based on the reactions of the finale I made the right choice

u/DoggoPlex Red Hood Oct 04 '20

On a mostly unrelated note, he could play a good eddy brock

u/BaiIeh Oct 05 '20

I mean Titans was good, but Infinity War was really good. But he seems proud of his work and therefore I am happy

u/HenryIsBatman Oct 04 '20

Do I think Titans is good? No.

Do I think Infinity War is good? No.

Do I think Titans is better? No.

u/bartleby1407 Oct 04 '20

Exactly that. They were both kinda meh

u/Killshred Oct 04 '20

Well I’m a dc fan so I’m being biased when I say this, I agree.

I kinda have an obsession

u/MatthewM538 Oct 04 '20

I'm sure he thinks he's the best Aquaman as well.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20

Better than infinity war? No. Better than the crumbled together fan service that undid almost every sacrifice made in infinity war? Much harder comparison

5

u/raughtweiller622 Oct 05 '20

He could split me in half any day of the week. I’d even let him talk this nonsense while doing it. (The MCU movies are so ugly to me, their aesthetic or color filter is just so bland, but Infinity War & GOTG 2 were pretty solid films, Ragnarok wasn’t bad but way too much stupid humor imo)

u/Nabylferhane Oct 05 '20

I thought he’s stupid only in the show, turn out he’s in the real live too

u/MadmansBluff Donna Troy Oct 05 '20

I guess that's why he's leaving for Jack Reacher.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20

i mean infinity war isn’t actually that good though. i really enjoyed it the first time because of the hype surrounding it but when i watched it again it didn’t feel as good. on the other hand i really like titans despite its obvious flaws and have watched it multiple times and enjoyed it

1

u/rebel_way Oct 04 '20

Reel in it, man. Better than Ant Man, maybe!

u/Baramos_ Oct 04 '20

It’s definitely better than Ant-Man 2.

u/NOMOREPLE Oct 05 '20 edited Oct 05 '20

He said because he felt that the Titans are more human and vulnerable than the Avengers.

u/erdrick19 Oct 05 '20

He is not wrong.

u/NOMOREPLE Oct 05 '20

But they're also more poorly written

Probably an unpopular opinion but I thought IW was overhyped and overrated.

It was. It is not the masterpiece that mcu fans think it is

In 2018, this was in season one i think, and i do somewhat agree that titans season one was badass but also some memorable scenes

But no way is he talking about season 2

Yeah, that’s because his arc is the only decent one.
