Another show about another character that seems almost too far removed from the core group of Marvel Super Heroes. Eventually they'll dig deep enough to get to the REALLY shitty ones like USAgent!

Oh wait...

I will likely get to Moon Knight before I ever get around to trying Shang Chi again or the Eternals.

The reviews for Morbius say it is one of the worst Marvel movies. One of them wondered if it was delayed because they know its bad instead of Covid like they claimed.

The only thing I know about Morbius and Moon Knight are the brief summaries I've read about the characters. I might watch Moon Knight, unless I put it off until the end of May, and watch Obi-Wan instead.

I still haven't cared enough to watch Eternals, but you need to watch Shang-Chi. It's fucking amazeballs.

Eternals is so-so.
Shang-Chi is good, but overrated.

I enjoyed Shang-Cho, but The thing I disliked about it was how many Easter eggs and cameos it used as crutches. The villains from Iron Man 1, Abomination, Wong, the fake bad guy from IM3, Wong again. If you remove all that shit from the movie….
The best part about the movie was the guy playing Shang, and his stand alone film makes me excited to see him interacting with the rest of the MCU. But I rewatched it on Disney+ and only got halfway thru the second viewing and I haven’t been chuffed to finishing it.

Fucking finally. Of all the MCU movies, this is/was the shortest amount of days between the release of the first trailer and the actual movie release. A mere 81 days.

I have the weirdest boner and I'm not at all ashamed of it.

Looking forward to this, more than I was Spider-Man. The trailer gives me hope.

I wasn't sure if it was just the initial reaction, but, no, a couple of days later, I believe we'd all give our left nut to do all sorts of naughty and likely sticky things to Natalie Portman.

There are times she looks like a kid, and then there are other times.

Somebody said Thor is dressed like D’onofrio from Adventures in Babysitting but I’d have to see side by side pics.
If it’s true, that’s pretty funny.

Do ya really wanna
Do ya really wanna taste it?

Why she got Peacemaker's helmet on though?

Looks like James Gunn was giving Taika a little good natured ribbing.

Went to see Strange 2 on Monday. They were way less “multiverse” cameos than the internet was speculating, but I gotta give props to Marvel for trolling it’s fans with a slew of cool cameos, and then yanking the rug away almost immediately.
Also, revealing the villain like ten minutes into the movie was also kinda inspired. When Feige kept saying this was Marvel’s first “horror” genre movie, I was like ‘pffft How horror can an MCU movie actually be?’ but I think this movie gets as close as it could be while still firmly being a superhero movie. Raimi did a good job.
I thought the music fight was pretty clever.
After Strange gets closure with Christine at the end of the movie, I thought well they can always introduce Clea in the third movie, and then Charlize Theron pops up as Clea in the stinger. I was almost more excited to see her than I was when they fan-casted Krazinski as Reed.
