@KidBoruto would be good if we get Heimdall back as well in that case! Watching Thor The Dark World again made me remember how bad ass he can be!
@RogerRoger ahh fair play to ya! I just remembered today that I have Agent Carter S1 coming up soon (her appearance in the first ep of AoS S2 reminded me). I wouldn't change that show either, I remember loving it back when it was on TV!
I might do a general write up of my thoughts so far at a later date, I won't tag you but if you read it, do forgive me if I gush a little bit over Chris Evans in that post 😆
I gotta ask though, would you trade Paul Rudd for Daniel Craig in Ant-Man? Looks-wise he actually probably could have played a younger Hank Pym if they had decided to go that way with the film. I don't think they did a huge amount different from Edgar Wright's original script before he departed (except add another Avenger) though that is pure speculation on my part. I'm happy with the movie we got though, I did love me some Ant-Man and I also loved The Wasp.
I thought Dr Strange was really grim actually! In a good way though. Especially Black Bolt's death. That was easily my favourite "cameo" in the film, especially as the casting further legitimises the TV shows. Plus Black Bolt is just so cool. And his death was an epic, awesome and gruesome scene.
I went to see Black Panther Wakanda Forever today. Brilliant cinema trip, the theatre was completely empty so I had the entire screen to myself! Just how I like it 😂
The film wasn't bad either. It's miles better than the first one, had a brilliant score as well. Noticed a familiar name from the credits (from Mando) so I'm not surprised.
It's a very long movie, nearly 3 hours but I wasn't bored at all throughout its runtime so it must have been decent enough!
Also Okoye is really funny. I had no idea. I hope they keep up the Okoye/Shuri dynamic in future installments because those parts were a joy to watch.
@RogerRoger sorry I thought I already replied to your comment!
Agent carter S1 is next on my list. It's actually only 18 episodes across both seasons so it's really short. I remember it being really good - especially with all the returning and new characters in it. I can't wait to get stuck in again 😃
@Jackpaza0508 I know, the second one almost had me in tears but I assume, what with this being the last outing for most of this team, that I am going to be crying (or doing my best to stifle it) throughout this movie. You can tell from the trailer who is probably going to get the chop. I won't say any more, I think the trailer was already spoilerific so I am going to do my best to forget what I've seen until the movie comes out.
Finished watching Ms. Marvel. Very good show, albeit a bit too short in my opinion. I thought it was really cool to see a Marvel superhero from a completely different culture. It was so refreshing compared to most other superhero shows. Wish we would've gotten more episodes but oh well.
@LtSarge I thought Ms. Marvel was better than expected. It definitely goes into new territory for the Marvel Universe in the sense it focuses on some underrepresented segments of the population and I appreciated that. Granted, I couldn’t really get along with some of the cringe that comes with teenage girl drama with mommy issues, but it wasn’t too bad. The light-heartedness of it all kept it from becoming too self-serious.
I actually played the Marvel’s Avengers campaign alongside watching the show, and in some ways I prefer the video game Kamala. The origin story is a tad different in the game and the voice actress conveys Kamala’s personality with a different nuance. The game has so many problems that I can’t honestly recommend it unless you really are curious and have 6-8 hours of free time that you just don’t know what to do with, but Kamala was one of the few things that the game got right. The TV show did okay on her as well, but it leans into the ‘misunderstood goofy nerd’ trope a little too heavily, imo.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah I've played Avengers a bit and thought it started out great but then it become so bad once the live service stuff settled in. Which is a shame because I really enjoyed playing as Kamala.
I thought the show made Kamala's powers more interesting with her bangle creating crystalised objects rather than her being able to stretch and become bigger like in the game. Still, it was interesting seeing different depictions of the character.
…and now we suddenly have a poster! (i'm using the japanese one because its longer and has more spideys including ps4 spidey which is actually the best spidey sorry i don't make the rules)
Finished watching Thor: Love and Thunder. Pretty good movie! I liked it more than Ragnarok, but that honestly doesn't say much because I didn't like Ragnarok at all. The new direction of making the Thor movies more comical than serious still doesn't sit well with me. I just don't associate him as a comical character compared to say the Guardians of the Galaxy. Anyway, I'm starting to at least warm up to him now so hopefully I'll enjoy the next movie even more.
Also, screaming goats seriously never gets old lol.
Finished watching She-Hulk. Very interesting way to end off the season, albeit not very satisfying. Really enjoyed the show overall though. Compared to other Marvel TV shows, this one was very chill to watch. Hopefully they'll make another season!
Over the past week I read through the X-Men: Psylocke collection (a 4 part 2009 miniseries revolving around the character + three issues of 80's/90's era Uncanny X-Men that revolved around the character's "rebirth" as an assassin as it was relevant background for the core story).
As someone who was drawn to the character thanks to appearances in X-Men: Apocalypse & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (she was my main once I unlocked her), it was a fun read with some great art (I'm actually really impressed with how cool some of the panels looked in the old school issues).
Also read the Star Wars Jedi: Aayla Secura one shot, which I'll briefly mention here because it was published by Marvel (not that there's much to say about it anyways).
Think I'll scurry back to the comfort zone of manga for a bit after this excursion.
