The category was one where all responses contained the letter “A.”

What was the question?  We can’t all watch (or want to watch) videos.

This needed to be a video.

Werewolf by Night was an absolute highlight of this phase (if it even fits in somewhere?  Very much seemed like it’s own thing).

Yes, the central theme had definitely been of everyone dealing with the aftermath, while this multiverse threat grows because everyone is too self-involved to be paying attention. There’s a sub theme of heroic legacy, with lots of new heroes taking up the mantles of old ones.

This whole phase seems to be very YMMV. Some people are complaining it’s too formulaic and crowd-pleasing, while others (like the article author) are complaining it’s not formulaic enough. Some people loved films/shows others hated, and vice versa.

Dispite gripes from people online, and countless “What you need to know before” videos, I honestly think Marvel does a pretty good job of making movies and TV sows that you can walk into knowing nothing and have a good time. May not get the deeper layers others get, but you are going to understand and enjoy the movie. 

When are we allowed to talk about the fact that Moon Knight sucked? The character could be cool in another context/appearance but man that show was crappy. That wasn’t even comic book Moon Knight, Feige just wanted some Brendan Fraser The Mummy type shit in the MCU.

I mean, didn’t they explicitly say that Phase 4 was going to be about everyone grappling with the struggle of getting back to life after The Snap, and dealing with the trauma and grief of both that and The Battle of Upstate New York?

There’s even more tragedy buried in that moment as well.

Stellan Skarsgard, Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Andy Serkis. There’s a very good argument that Andor is the best acted Star Wars production yet. 

Not since... I don’t know, maybe KOTOR 2?... have we had such a morally murky take on the Star Wars universe. I love it. Wars have casualties of all types, something that the movies rarely actually engaged with.

daddy’s girl Leida (Bronte Carmichael) puts her mother on the spot by calling him “mother’s old boyfriend”—which Mon deduces she got from her dad.

That Sam Cap suit was truly terrible. Hopefully with a movie budget can come a better suit

I don’t think that’s really true. The entire story arc was clearly planned out, beginning with WandaVision.

I really want this to be a remake of the 80’s movie where Vision plays a high school wrestler who falls in love with an older woman with nobody mentioning that Vision is an android.

Yup. De Laurentiis has the rights for Red Dragon, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising while MGM has the rights to Silence of the Lambs. That Clarice show was hysterical in that they couldn’t mention Hannibal Lecter by name and only vaguely alluded to him. Now that Amazon  owns MGM, I could see them doing a TV-MA adaptation…

Also, they never had the rights to use Clarice Starling (which is why we got that crappy Clarice show).

Jesus fucking christ. “Queerbaiting” refers to the homophobic act of putting in queer subtext to lure in queer viewers (or give hetero women fetishistic gay ships to obsess over) while considering the suggested relationship to NOT be canon, and definitely never actually reifying it, and it’s almost exclusively done…

If it maintains the quality of Watchmen, that’s exciting. But, he’s more of a TV guy than a film guy, so this is a curious choice.

Also, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy comes from a journalism and activism background, having made a lot of documentaries, so that’s also an interesting choice.

I don’t know what the two of them are…
