* Marvel really has to stop trying to play mind games with its audience. They had so many chances to bring shyt full circle in phase 4 and blew them. Mofos used Fox’s Pietro to make a dikk joke opposed to making him/previous Fox films cannon via the multi-verse
. Like, I would love to hear how that idea was even pitched. Yeah, let’s bring in a great actor and beloved iteration of a character to ultimately devolve his appearance to a boner joke
.
* As far as DC: they really need to go find some extremely quality script writer. I know they have Gunn at the helm, but I don’t see how he alone can pen all of their DCU stuff. Black Adam had one of the worst and flimsiest scripts I’ve ever seen. They also really need to work on their scores. Who has an iconic theme in the DCU? Maybe Wonder Woman? If the Avengers theme comes on you know exactly what it signifies and relates to. If “Portals” comes on you know what’s up. DC has nothing comparable. No ethereal, triumphant, oh shyt, kinda scores.
* The Black Phone was a top three movie to release this year. It’s my number one for the year, actually.
* Look. I like Aldis Hodge. He seems like a cool dude, and I thought he was great as Jim Brown in One Night in Miami, but people wanting him as the next Black Panther are trippingggggg. One, he’s damn near 40. How are you supposed to be the son of T’challa and you’re damn near as old as the character you’re supposedly the son of
? Second, the last time we saw young T’challa he’s like 5/6 years old. Are they going to time jump 30 years into the future? Just cast someone in their late teens, or early 20s and call it a day.
