Some of my own thoughts about the premier. First, I thought this was a really strong opening. Maybe the strongest since The Mandalorian. It may not turn out to be as strong as Andor, but already it’s better than either Kenobi or The Book of Boba Fett.

I remember being really psyched to see this movie after watching the trailers for it. When I finally got to see it, I came away feeling “meh.”

My bad! You are correct. Though, to be honest, the incompetent are often ignorant as well.

Elektra is doomed to be the X-Force of Deadpool 3. A built-up distraction that will ultimately prove much briefer and less central to the story than we will have expected or led to believe.

You are not wrong! There was a lot less ‘pew pew pew’ and fewer explosions in the books. After all, “Violence is the last refuge of the ignorant.”

I think it best to see Foundation as, at best, “inspired by” or “informed by” and judge it as its own thing. When strictly judged as an adaptation, it fails. It’s more successful if judged as something “adjacent to” the books.

The loss of her romantic connection to another person isn’t enough; apparently, she has to confront the real temporal mission: protect a young Khan Noonien Singh from being baby Hitler’d.

I’ll be honest, I’m a Marvel man. Always have been. In the beginning, Zach Snyder turned me off from what then became known as the DC Murderverse.

And chaos is exactly the kind of environment a would-be scoundrel can thrive in.

So they can have Baron Karza as the big bad in the summer tentpole crossover event!

And so it begins ... the birth of the Hasbro Cinematic Universe, with G.I. Joe filling the role of S.H.I.E.L.D.

What The Sorcerer’s Apprentice had going for it was the magic battle sequences. Even with Nicolas Cage phoning it in for much of the movie, he still manages to elevate the material. Toby Kebbell as Drake Stone is really having a ball as Horvath’s understudy. The confrontation between him and Stutler in the bathroom is…

I get it.

As long as she continues to be voiced/ played by Milana Vayntrub, “All hail her majesty, the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!”

“I pray for the president.”

That kid’s got a future as an automotive engineer. If I were Dodge, I’d snap him up right now and put him through school.

does kind of leave you to question just how the hell the MCU heads are going to cook up a worthwhile Phase 4-6 uber villain.
