Marvel Movie Madness
Re: Marvel Movie Madness
We watched "Bloodshot" the other day, which is supposedly part of the Marvel universe. It wasn't bad. It did very poorly at the box office, though, as it was released March of last year.
Re: Marvel Movie Madness
I haven't even heard about it. Who are the main characters?
Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
I hadn't heard of it either. I checked and it looks like it is based on a comic, I'm pretty sure that one isn't Marvel.

You are right, it isn't. I'm not sure why I thought it was. 
Re: Marvel Movie Madness
Here's the latest Falcon and Winter Soldier trailer. I'm not all that excited for this one (both of these were side characters for a reason imo), but perhaps Frelga will be happy to finally see Bucky getting more of the spotlight.

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
If I recall correctly, Avengers Infinity wars had a few scenes filmed there, but I think it's just a few.

Where is this available?
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
Okay. I was resisting up till now, but I might have to get Disney+ JUST to watch this show.
Also, Hobbit reference FTW!

was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
Okay. Broke down and got a month of Disney+ (may or may not continue the sub.)
Was going to try not to binge Falcon & Winter Soldier in a single day. I guess I technically succeeded as I did watch one episode on a different day so...
But now that I have the sub, I figured I could also catch up on several of the Marvel movies I've missed over the years. So I watched Captain Marvel next. Sadly, I see why a lot of people didn't like that one - it doesn't live up to the quality of where the Marvel movies were at that point. It wasn't bad, just not up to the rest of them. It seemed like it wanted to be serious and then near the end they didn't like how serious it was so they added a bunch of humor in that really didn't fit the feel of the movie.
They did the same thing with the music, too. They tried to kind of shoehorn in some pop music like they did with Guardians but in Guardians it fit both the context of the movie and set the tone from the very beginning where in this it just felt oddly tacked on and broke the feel they had set up to that point. Not sure if it was the writing or directing or whether - as my friend said - they just didn't care as much on a female lead, but whatever the problem was, it really was, sadly, not their best.
Still, was good to watch it, did lay out some of the history that came into the other movies so good in that sense.
Then I went back and watched Ant Man. I had previously seen the second but not the first.
I haven't seen any of the Spiderman movies, and eventually I do want to watch Hulk... just... to have seen it. I think there's one or two others I missed in there... Toying with watching Wandavision.
But Falcon & Winter Soldier was so worth it!

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
Anyone else watching Loki?
I ask because... either I've found a glaring plot hole, or I've discovered the "real" secret of the show...

Re: Marvel Movie Madness
I haven't seen Loki. But have you seen the Hawkeye trailer!?!
Looks like Disney is giving comic book fans the Fraction Hawkeye they've wanted for so long. I like the MCU Hawkeye just fine, but this looks marvelous.
