Do you ever feel like modern cinema just doesn't hit the same anymore? Join me, the Objective Jerk, as I share my growing frustration with Hollywood's current offerings and my yearning for the golden days of classic films. From annoying theater audiences to lackluster movies, I've got plenty to gripe about. Despite my long-standing love for comic book movies, upcoming releases like the new Captain America and Deadpool have me sitting on the fence. However, for special occasions like my son's birthday, I might still give in and head to the theater. We'll also touch on my scaled-back streaming habits—Netflix being the sole survivor, thanks to my wife's tastes and my own nostalgic leanings.

But the discontent doesn't stop there. I dive into my thoughts on Anthony Mackie's role as Captain America, and why I think he should stick with being Falcon. Non-superpowered heroes like Black Widow and Hawkeye get a nod of respect, while I argue that Bucky Barnes would have made a better Cap. We'll also explore the actor switch for General Ross, the introduction of Red Hulk, and what the future holds for Marvel projects like "The Acolyte." And yes, we'll even talk about those controversial potential references to "The Eternals." Despite my detachment from today's movie industry, I'm still holding out hope for quality storytelling and character integrity in these new films.
