Initially I hated AoU, and while I'm still not the biggest fan, I see it for what it is-- an intermediary. You have to remember that these are movies descended from comics, and so storylines are different, the movie isn't engaging the whole universe like it could. It's essentially a bottle episode with decent character development (although Joss' writing can be grating at times) that mainly exists to bolster the plot lines to come; the creation of fucking sperg lord Vison, establishing Wakanda and Ulysses Claw-- FUCKING AMADEUS CHO'S MOM-- and some other stuff, like creating more tension between super heroes and the government, notice how Iron Patriot is War Machine again? Also Falcon looking for Winter Soldier because they have to keep him relevant somehow. The broken up Avengers is also setting up Ant Man which is going to be a disappointment, as well as Dr. Strange and Miss Marvel cough cough I mean Captain Marvel.

tl;dr, it's all a giant set up comic for more things to come-- with a lack of cinematic flow and a shit soundtrack, it was still a strong 6/10.

Tenish knows what's up tho, Fury Road was easily the 2nd best movie of the year,
