My only concern with Doomsday and Secret Wars

It's really the Russos.
Firstly their post MCU track record hasn't been great at all. All of the films have been critiqued negatively. I understand some people might find it easier to play in other people's sandbox than their own but i can't seem to develop a sense of confidence in them.
Secondly,their stance on AI. I pray to God that Doomsday and Secret Wars doesnt seem like an AI generated slop. Please that's theast thing we need.

Russos on mcu generally never miss regardless of their work outside of it. Your concern with ai is valid and i agree

GarySoneji2025-09-22 07:10

In what way do the critiques have you concerned?

BatmanForever232025-09-22 10:38

I mean the implication that the Russos haven't made a well-received film in 6 years is pretty obvious why OP is concerned. I don't share that concern, but you're honestly kidding if you're pretending you can't understand what OP is saying?

Keep in mind that they went on to do more action movie fare, which is right up their alley. Unfortunately, action movies are largely sh!t on by critics. I haven't seen the Grey Man but I have seen Extraction and it's sequel and they're both stellar imo.

Really, it's not the Russos direction you should be worried about but rather the story itself. The Russos are really good at time management and editing, as evidenced by IW/EG. There's no other director(s) I'd trust with a giant cast like the upcoming Doom movies than them.

I liked the Grey Man. I need to rewatch it.

FewWatermelonlesson02025-09-22 07:46

There are plenty of action movies that received good reviews from critics. Grey Man and Electric State got bad reviews because they were terrible.

Caciulacdlac2025-09-22 07:53

Extraction wasn't directed by them, just written. And they're not writing Avengers.

marvelcomics222025-09-22 10:33

They do the stories with the writers, just not the screenplays.

Orion141592025-09-23 00:08

Grey Man was pretty fun. Chris Evans as a bad guy was a nice change of pace

ChaoticCaptain1772025-09-22 07:21

The Russos always delivered in their MCU films so they're not my main concern

Sunshine1452025-09-22 07:52

And honestly I didn't even like Endgame either.

Stephanenasr2025-09-22 10:21

And rage bait used to be believable

Sunshine1452025-09-22 14:45

It's not ragebait. It was a snoozefest for the first 2 hours and the final battle was lackluster. 3 hour runtime and I was only entertained for about 5 minutes. People say the decline started after Endgame, for me it started while watching Endgame.

Post MCU track record not the MCU track record.

EfficaciousJoculator2025-09-22 08:07

Oh, that's fair. Misread it. I haven't seen much of their post MCU work. But if their MCU work blows their later stuff out of the water, it suggests this is their medium. I wouldn't sweat that.

evapotranspire2025-09-22 09:08

What is their stance on AI? If Doomsday reeks of AI, I'm going to be egregiously disappointed.

Simple-Accountant-242025-09-22 09:41

1.They believe AI will be able to create full 90 minute movies in 2 years

2.They hired an AI expert to enrich creative process.

Gilded-Mongoose2025-09-22 09:21

I really don't care all too much about AI - in any movie scenario the use of AI is much more likely to be special effects accentuation, just like CGI was since the 80's. I could not care less if it's used as a tool. For script, that would be annoying. But I feel like "AI slop" is becoming a rapidly outdated boogieman word to throw out there. And it's kind of random to associate so strongly with the Russos.

Secondly, yeah I'm somewhat neutral on them, with the similar sentiments that they did IW & Endgame excellently, and a vague awareness that they've failed to impress with most things outside of it. In a lot of ways I think they may be a bit overrated in terms of really carrying the IW&E success forward like it's a guaranteed slam dunk.

I also think that between bringing them back, casting RDJ as Doom, and bringing essentially all the past Marvel actors back, it's essentially their last extinction burst of nostalgia and the true restart will be after Secret Wars. Both obviously/appropriately, and also more than they realize, because it's truly starting back up from scratch compared to what they've been relying on this past half decade. And I do appreciate the unimaginable nostalgia and crossovers that we've been able to have. But really want to see them get back to their roots with original creativity, smaller interesting scales, and organized consistency throughout.

We should be getting that with F4, X-Men, Thor/Hulk and Spidey.

I honestly think this current anti-Disney wave might carry on, casting a pall upon *all* future projects, Marvel and Star Wars. No matter how the projects actually turn out, they will be seen through a negative mind-filter, the splinter in the back of your brain, culminating in a mediocre reception and review.

I'd like to be incorrect, and maybe Doomsday will prove me wrong, but that's how I see it.

And I, myself, am extremely excited for it.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-09-22 18:04

My main concern, taking back to Infinity War/Endgame, the Russos admitted the struggled what to do with the Hulk. Their promise for these movies and the previous two is to service each characters’ fanbase, where each character has their moment to shine. I’m concerned for characters they may end up not having that

Iyo232025-09-22 20:28

This is so ridiculous 😂😂😂

TelephoneCertain53442025-09-22 20:47

All 4 of their MCU works are amazing so I will have faith now that they are back in this franchise. AI though I can understand.

Zaladin032025-09-23 00:13

Russo Brothers are like 93' Jordan with the MCU, so we'll be alright
