[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9340705, member: 7040941"] Yeah going back to the MCU reference, Civil War was chock full of cheap seat playing. But it can't really be denied that the individual performances and scriptwriting weren't superb beyond that. Chadwick Boseman was a class act, and the entire sequence with [SPOILER="Mcu stuff"]Tony finding out what happened to his parents and the interlude between bouts is just astonishingly well written and acted by all involved.[/SPOILER] Plus its also a good thing to consider that Fight Choreography in particular, which has fortunately enjoyed a golden age since the first John Wick (Bourne was a false start don't @ me lol), is another example of something where people don't appreciate the artistry behind it or even see it as art. Fight Choreography has a huge functional overlap with how Musicals work, and just as Musicals (and in particular, dance forward musicals) are an art form, so is fight choreography. The image of Cap and Tony going at it was pulled straight out of a comic book, but the entire fight is a masterful bit of storytelling through violence as these people beat the ever loving crap out of each other. Tony's murderous intent is well conveyed as is Caps desire to just protect Bucky, while Buckh just wants to run, and you can see it all on screen in how they fight. It all says as much about these characters and what they're feeling as any poignant dialogue does, and thats the cumulative result of multiple artists working in tandem, from the actors themselves to the choreographers, directors, set designers, and on and on. And it has to be said, you can then look at say Love and Thunder and it becomes immediately noticeable just how unseriously everyone involved was taking the movie, even as a comedy; comedies don't typically get away with that kind of irreverence unless you go all the way and break the 4th Wall, which is why the joke a minute Deadpool movies work but Love and Thunder didn't.
