Hm, that wasn’t the essence of Logan at all for me. The setting was so different from every other X-men movie, it felt really new - and very bleak (a good thing for me). Not like a superhero movie at all, more like a drama movie where the main chars incidentally had powers.

I will revisit it with an open mind. I felt like it was my fault first viewing. On paper, it should be great to me.

My actual 3 point review for The Marvels
- As fresh a jolt of caffeine for the MCU as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Verse, Thor: Ragnarok, and GotG
- Deus ex felina
- That post credits scene
This was better than the first Captain Marvel.
Spider-verse was a jolt of caffeine to the MCU?
The Memory needle-drop sequence was definitely fun.

Days of Future Past is a pretty good flick. High to strong recommend.

I mean both broadly for Marvel and because Spider-Verse is tied to the MCU without being essential or getting into spoilers.
I’m still in the after-glow, but I think I liked The Marvels more on first viewing than Homecoming, and that was a ahem home run.
I saw it friday night. Was it a cinematic masterpiece? Nope but me and my gf both enjoyed it. I also enjoyed Blue Beetle.

These are women who care and have cared for each other, who have found a home in each other, despite their respective loneliness. Having Brie Larson and Tessa Thompson, growing masters of their craft, play together on screen means that so much more carries than what’s on the page of a thin blockbuster script…
I actually don’t think there’s too much negative sentiment out there about Blue Beetle. There’s not a huge amount of interest in it, but it feels like everyone who bothered to watch it (myself included) shared your take on it.
Were Loki and Mobius Platonic? Executive Producer Weighs In
“I think that is why that relationship was so beautiful and disarming to people.”
“So I think it’s beautiful that people could read that relationship in other ways. It was never the the intention. But also, we can’t get into Loki’s head and Loki as a character is bisexual and gender fluid, and I don’t know. But it wasn’t something that we were ever exploring, I would say.”
I love the slash fiction ship name Lokius.
Lets face who here is really going to turn down that Lussy if the opportunity presents itself

Thought the opening sequence was AWESOME, but everything after looks equal to or perhaps a little worse than Morbius. The question is whether it could be worse than Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Lol, wat? Does Sony just own the rights to a cavalcade of shitty Spidey randos?

Destin Daniel Cretton Will No Longer Direct ‘Avengers: The Kang Dynasty’
I don’t think it’s any big surprise that Marvel is doing a 180 from their plans to make Kang the next big bad.
But they buried the real lede! After reports that Wonder Man had been scrapped, it looks like it is still a go.
Even if Cretton won’t get to direct the next time the Avengers assemble, he’s still attached to work on a sequel to Shang-Chi after he’s done with the production of Wonder Man, a Marvel Cinematic Universe television series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the titular hero. The ongoing relationship between the studio and the filmmaker confirms that Cretton is still being considered for future projects, despite the fact that he won’t be able to work on the next Avengers movie. Filming on Wonder Man will resume after Thanksgiving, going in front of the cameras for the first time since it was stopped due to the recently concluded strike organized by SAG-AFTRA.
And that has me very excited. I’m a huge fan of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II after Candy Man, Watchmen, Ambulance, The Matrix: Resurrections, just one great role after another. And to an extent his role in Aqua Man, even if I think that was the wrong franchise for him.
Yes, and to keep the rights they have to keep releasing stuff. So its a bunch of movies about D list spiderman characters.
Yes, they have rights to all characters originating in Spider-Man comics
