That trailer looked retro in a very bad not good-at-all way.

I have no idea what you mean. If you care to expand, I could respond. But I think you meant it in a derogatory fashion, so perhaps better to not have any idea. If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance, but it just feels that way.

@Mannahnin Thanks for writing that. You get it. It's the same as the post-credits scene. Both show something to those willing to look beyond the surface. It was merely a dream, and a dream remembered is better than immortality. It was a case of show, not tell... but in the blatant obviousness...

A great show that shows this cross is Warrior, originally on Showtime. It shows the Chinese, Irish, and non-recent-immigrant Whites as both oppressor and oppressed in a way that is quite satisfying and transcends the genre of martial arts show.

I know those scares in the church in the beginning startled me- and most reviewers I've seen they made jump also. Putting them at the beginning rather than the end was a great idea, I thought.

Yeah, this is what I try to do now. People get so supercharged about their opinions that it's just a deluge of emotion before you ever go into the movie. I recently started going to movies as blind as possible and have started to find my love for them again in this simple act.

This was great. Thanks for putting it into words and writing this. I will agree with this. Her characterization in Wakanda Forever was ... lacking. As was the need for her to be there. They should have stuck to this as her introduction, because they even had to put in a reason for her not to...

Don't forget the third triad in that... and how it relates to sin. Music. That triad is what makes the whole thing so powerful - especially the beginning, the one-shot, and the ending. It's just chef's kiss

I didn't particularly see it this way. I saw it as (1) she was short on resources, (2) she was recruited blind, (3) she did mention she didn't want to hurt anyone and the Hood soft-sold it, blinding her with money, (4) she is very arrogant and focused a lot on her goals and getting what she need...

They meant nothing before Endgame. They retroactively called the 'phases' and that's the only reason the others seem to fit. A lot easier to define something after the fact.

Good, not great in my opinion. I've also heard that they forced Gunn to shoehorn in Adam, and if so it showed. Adam Warlock is Captain Marvel/Sentry levels of powerful... Played as a joke. That was.... A decision. And just like completely writing out Mar-Vell and eviacerating Furys back story...

Ironheart was the last bit of media in phase 5 - what did people think? They had to make a major adjustment because of the drama surrounding certain actors, and it certainly showed. Personally, I think it was a definite mixed bag, but in all honesty, most were mid- not as good as some said, and...

I don't know... I love the different take on Riri and the Hood. Both of them I didn't really care about in the comics. The twists they did really made them resonate with me. And I definitely want to see more of Natalie.

A combination of the two. Ezekiel Stane does exist in the comics, but doesn't have a relationship with Ironheart. But Mephisto doesn't either. He also was raised to get vengeance for Obadiah Stane on Iron Man, so I liked that twist, along with the fact that he wasn't arrogant like in the comics.

Both are in the Bachman books.

His soul is already forfeit. There's no reason to claim it prematurely, when he can leave him around to cause misery in the world. That's been how I've seen it handled in most media dealing with soul bartering - it happens at the time of death.

Because grief and trauma makes her do something stupid? In my opinion, she was set up for this - Natalie wasn't a glitch, she was bait. And she deliberately didn't kill him- there was no way he was dead, just suffering from a loss of power.

Yes, this I know. But I still do it because not everyone can watch as soon as it drops. Just my preference, as someone else said.

Same here. I've even bought ones I've gotten rid of again in the future.
