I love The Guess Who, and think of this sequence often.

If you watched the interview, she says she was directly contacted in her role as producer of Barbie by the producer of Oppenheimer because they knew each other to talk about the release schedule.

The Skrull twist in the first Captain Marvel movie was interesting, but it did kind of dampen their villainy potential.

The movies are definitely not using them to their best, but even at their best they are pretty generic space Nazis.  There’s lots of better stories I would prefer Marvel spent its energy adapting.  

He’ll be awesome in whatever, but I just hope he’s not wasted. He’s good enough to use as a recurring character or a villain with major impact.

Man, that recent Jon Hamm interview made me realize he would’ve been an epic, perfect Kang.  Big missed opportunity there. 

Isn’t it messed up that you have this genuine question? Like Marvel has dropped the ball here.  Because I’m not sure if I know, and I love this stuff.

I love A Good Year as well, and am not sure why it gets such flack. It’s certainly not as ambitious as some of these other films, and I wonder if that’s the problem- people don’t know how to accept Ridley Scott basically making a rom-com.

It was a profound misunderstanding of the character to introduce him from a place of weakness.  At the very least, he should’ve clearly dominated Quantumania as an adversary, and had a clear win there. 

Wow, hard no. The Kree Empire have always been kinda boring, and aside from the Supreme Intelligence and Ronan they are pretty generic as a group of characters.

Kang is a very good villain character (in the comics he’s definitely one of the big two Avengers villains with Ultron), but they’ve introduced him in the most confusing and overly complicated manner.

Deadpool 3 will probably be a safer bet almost solely because of Hugh Jackman. It was probably a surer thing already but that stunt casting almost certainly sealed it.

They cannot make them a generic superteam like the 00's movies. They cannot make it dark like the most recent adaptation. I think the MCU will have more trouble with the F4 because they are going to have to overcome the memories of these two previous adaptations.

I love superhero teams. I liked Yelena, Red Guardian, and US Agent. I like Julia Louis Dreyfuss’s character. I’m hopeful they haven’t announced some potential members yet to keep back some surprises (like Zemo and characters from the comics team like Songbird or Moonstone).

I’m looking forward to Thunderbolts, Captain America, and Deadpool, but the rest of the slate is a bit nothing for me. I’m looking forward to hearing what some of those untitled projects are, but they are scheduled so far away.

Yeah, the Affleck movie was certainly more indebted to the original Elektra saga from Miller’s original run.

The Marvels was great. I (and my family- two of whom hadn’t seen WandaVision) had no trouble keeping up, but we will be watching Ms. Marvel now because she was great in the film.

As a big fan of his work in general, it pains me that some of his choices here might be betraying some of his biases.

Sensual World is so lush. “Love & Anger” is a top track for me, as well as “This Woman’s Work” which always astounds me.
