Joseph Gilgun, the guy that was basically the Nathan replacement, was actually excellent and super funny, his new show Brassic is great.

Love and Thunder faceplanted on a bunch of stuff but it had some really fun/cool bits imo. Ragnarok is still definitely the better movie.

Legitimately surprised the US remake of Misfits never happened.

Same time, however, I'm also surprised the rumored US remake of Volcano High didn't happen, either.

A US remake of Misfits would have gone the exact same way as The Inbetweeners.

Both shows are just so steeped in British culture

I saved up my cinema going energy for Thor 4, ignoring No Way Home, Black Widow, and Multiverse Of Madness in its favour, which in retrospect was dumb as poo poo, because Thor was much worse than all of them.

Listen here, funnyman!
The complaint I had about Thor 4 is they really didn't have any new ideas for Thor after his whole arc from Ragnarok to Infinity War to Endgame. It was just so well-done there was no way they were going to surpass it anytime soon. So they used another Thor film to wrap up Jane Foster's story (which I get and they had to bring back Natalie Portman and make things right) but Thor just had nothing really to do.

Ragnarok was the best Marvel movie, if you remove the Dr Strange cameo and then rewrite it to be about Jeff Goldblum fighting Cate Blanchett then it'd be a great standalone film

I've heard lots of stories about how the pandemic really screwed with Phase 4, so let's see what happens. I would rather watch Love and Thunder on repeat then having to watch Eternals again.

I am looking forward to seeing if they can doing something with the FF, but its risky. If they want a win, get the X-men going, don't gently caress with the powers or characters, just give us a proper onscreen Dark Phoenix Saga and I'll be happy. Hell, get old school X-Factor and New Mutants involved and take all my monies.

Touche. But if they made it an epic across a few movies and throw in all the Shi'ar Empire stuff, you may have something. I think the Brood story line would also make a great movie.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I watched Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and it was not good, even with Raimi directing and a pretty solid Bruce Campbell cameo. By the end I was just like "okay, that was a well-executed but unsatisfying movie".

It feels like the movies aren't allowed to stand on their own any more, everything has to set up some future thing or be a callback to something else. That's fine and all to build a giant narrative, but it can make for some pretty unsatisfying movies to watch in a vacuum. There's only so many times you can go "oh poo poo, it's gonna get crazy in the next movie!" before I realize they're just constantly building to the next thing without any kind of satisfying payoff along the way.

That said the Guardians movies have both been pretty solid and I still have hope for the 3rd one.

We do our best to ignore all the disney's marvel poo poo. My son made us buy him a "sea monster octopus" out of the LEGO store which was a Dr. Strange set apparently and I built it (it's irreparably broken and something else already) & he asked my wife the name of all the mini figs that come included and she doesn't know that poo poo, so she goes "That's Dracula, that's Space Girl and that's Allen."

Yeah. And they're super convoluted and have all sorts of characters in them. It's so "whacky" and "silly" now with this multiverse stuff. Which I hate because essentially anything can happen at any time and there are zero rules so it makes it seem like things don't even matter that much. If the entire world goes to hell then they'll just pop up again in a different universe or something. No consequences. No stakes.

I'm not invested in any of these movies anymore. I really want to be because I love superheroes. :(

Gimmie another X-Men movie or something. Or something with Colossus. Like Deadpool 3.

Imagine if a diner owner during the civil rights movement wanted to look like he supported racial equality even though he didn't, simply because that's the direction society was going in. So instead of actually letting black people sit at the counter, he just scrapped his entire menu to sell nothing but really lovely fried chicken he couldn't even be bothered to cook properly. And if a black person actually tried to sit at the counter, he called the cops on them.

That's basically modern Disney in a nutshell.

What I want is for Disney to make media where the heroes are all women and minorities while the villains are all straight white men. That would actually be woke.

I can get into that. Apparently I bought Marvel's Avengers from Steam last year. I just installed it a few days ago but haven't tried it. I hope I don't need a controller because I don't do that. I'd assume I'd need one for Spider-Man.
