What grade would you give the Marvel Cinematic Universe? (Ever-Changing Question)

I can understand why Marvel would want to make their own take on Blade that stands apart from the original trilogy, but I still think this may have been a little short-sighted of them:

The guy who co-wrote Man of Steel/Batman v Superman, wrote/directed Blade Trinity and once said that she-Hulk was created to give Hulk someone to fuck (fun fact, this comment was so terrible Stan Lee himself specifically responded to it saying that anyone who thought that was a nut) is not someone Disney/Marvel should hire to clean their toilets, much less make a movie.

I think the movie will be good, but I already really dislike this version of The Thing. His voice is lame, the CG looks a bit off, his costume looks the worst on him (although they all look mediocre) and whining about not wanting to say his iconic line is just stupid. I bet he doesn't have an Aunt Petunia or blue eyes, either. Totally missing everything that people like about the character, while taking the angsty angle that honestly hasn't been more then a background element of Thing for decades and making it his main characteristic (just like Fant4stic, but presumably without the parental physical abuse). Also, does anyone else think that the actor playing Johnny looks like Mark Zuckerberg?

Still Silver Surfer looks/sounds cool, I'm excited for a real Galactus in general and Reed/Sue seem fine, so the movie could easily end up being the best FF movie, even though I don't think it will be anywhere near as good of a FF movie as they could have made.

Has no one noticed The Thing has a beard?!?!?! Earlier in the trailer he doesn't, and at the end of the trailer he does!
Which seems to indicate what people have thought for a while now, that this movie takes place over, well atleast months, if not longer. At some point it was said Sue was pregnant, but this baby is definitely a few months old already.

You're entirely wrong. Everything about this portrayal - his appearance, his voice, his attitude - is note-perfect. People who've really loved the character over the decades will be thrilled with him in this movie.
 
Fantastic trailer! I'm super excited for this film, more so than Thunderbolts* (even though I'm in the minority about that film). It just looks so damn fun and uplifting. Plus, it really does think like different and refreshing for Marvel and that can only be a good thing (speaking even as someone who is largely a defender of most of the MCU).

I was just about to come here to say the same thing! I don't think I've ever seen The Thing depicted with a rocky beard but I really like the look. Hopefully it's not a one-off appearance. :D

They better make "its clobbering time" worth it.
I love how it's not his actual catchphrase but something from "just the cartoon." I really hope we get to see glimpses of that cartoon. :D
 
There are scenes where Quinn's delivery reminds me of RDJ.
