Just like to remind everyone that the first trailer for Secret Invasion was promising, too.

David Tennant’s Kilgrave is still the most legitimately terrifying and disturbing villain in all the MCU and adjacent properties.

Born in 71. Been there, lived it. Should’ve said web, sure. Thanks for the “lesson”.

Born in 71. I remember the clunky phone modems quite well. 

I feel super confident that nobody knows what it felt like to log on to the internet in the early 80s. 

Can’t argue with the top two, but I’d swap ‘em. As good as Silva is, you can’t compete with “No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!”.

I loved the MCU phases 1-3. I’m still onboard as far as following the new stuff goes, but after great anticipation for several projects that delivered underwhelming returns (Love & Thunder, Quantumania, and Secret Invasion), the unavoidable loss of Boseman hamstringing the BP franchise, the apparent exit of the…

If fridging is being defined as characters with little-to-no development being offed to provide motivation for another character, then I’d argue Odin and Heimdall qualify just as much as Frigga.

If he’s anywhere, I’d imagine it’s in a post-credits scene for Cap4, which I’d have to assume involves SamCap reaching out to begin reforming the Avengers. 

Memo to KF: just cut bait already. Pull the Rhodey/Hulk maneuver. There can’t be anything else in the can beyond Loki s2, and you’ve got a multiverse full of narrative precedent to explain away any difference in appearance going forward. 

He was also in the post-credit scene for Ant-Man teasing Civil War. Maybe two post-credit cameos equals one contract credit? Who knows. Either way, 4 Cap movies, Thunderbolts, and presumably 4 Avengers (if he survives Kang and signs off in Secret Wars) would be nine. Of course, he’s also not officially announced as…

DGG’s first Halloween re-up was dandy: proper sense of atmosphere, couple of gnarly kills, and a great JLC performance. I admired both sequels for taking big conceptual swings, but both of them are riddled with boneheaded lapses of logic and believability, and both make the critical error of sidelining Curtis in favor…

Also She-Hulk proclaiming “Captain America f***ks!”.

Maybe he’s a Farscape fan and he went with Frelled?

Compared to Wakanda Forever, which has made about $850 million, a lot less than its predecessor, being positioned here as a “winner”.

Doc Strange 2 wound up at $950 million, ninth biggest opening weekend of all time, around $300 million improvement on Doc 1, all without a release in China, which would’ve pushed it into billion dollar territory. Quality gap aside, there’s no possible way to read that as a case of diminishing returns.

But even so, it’s still not entirely true. Holland is bankable enough as a result of Spidey that he can open dreck like Uncharted at #1. Zendaya went from MJ to multiple Emmys.

There’s a ton of legit Movie Stars who were legit before their MCU tenure though. Chief among them being Tarantino’s good buddy Samuel L Jackson. Johansson already had Oscar noms before she started. RDJ had a whole career. Paltrow, Portman, Cheadle… Olsen, Ruffalo, and Larson all had indie bonafides… Cumberbatch was…

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. Jaws is a different thing. Whether by design, accident, or innate genius, it’s flawless. 

1 - Jaws.
