But Chapek became CEO in February 2020 and though COVID existed then, most people didn’t know about it or if they did, how big it’d get. And the decision to hire Chapek had been in place for weeks before that I’m sure. I don’t think Iger, Chapek or the Disney board could see onto the future and imagine the pandemic or the shutdowns and the havoc they would cause for movies, businesses, etc. Iger’s legacy is Disney so it makes sense he would watch closely after leaving it on a high point. He probably had no plans to return until the downward spiral continued. Could it be possible Iger planned to return at some point? Sure. But I don’t think they planned this around COVID.

Though I deactivated my Twitter account, it’s been amazing post Wakanda Forever this scene caught me off guard too

The “power of the Black Panther”

This from Deadline is a hopeful sign for decent to good legs: On PostTrak, a huge 38% of those polled said they plan to see Wakanda Forever again in a theater.

yes, Lupita got murmurs when she showed up. She’s great. and I definitely got what David Ehrlich meant about Reylo vibes between Namor and Shuri. Twitter is hilarious about this but my friend and I thought it was going to initially be a marriage contract thing lol. *no judging please!* Then he killed her mom and pftt…

That’s quite the range lol. Why even bother giving estimates

I was prepared to mourn T’Challa and Chadwick, but I was not expecting Queen Ramonda’s death. That was like a gut punch especially with how she was in the first half. I just didn’t expect Marvel to kill off any other major characters I guess.

Only got 3 trailers surprisingly: Avatar (teaser trailer), The Little Mermaid, Ant-Man: Q. All Disney lol. The little mermaid got the biggest reactions

Just finished watching and agreed. It hurt so much. Had to process a bit with my friends. Planning to see it again in a week with my partner but it was so heavy, I’m not sure I can do any extra watches. I’ll say the emotional beats landed for myself and those I watched with, but we all agreed it’s a tough one to repeat watch like other fun MCU movies.

If it’s just Bruce’s father that passed the genetic trait, how does that work with what happens in She Hulk? Jen is his cousin, she wouldn’t have anything passed down from Bruce’s father, only Bruce’s grandfather.

Bought tickets for 8p tomorrow. I’m so excited! My friends are getting our tissues ready. I also definitely identify with Eric’s post. Saw the first one 4 times in theaters and still love rewatching it. This will be the first MCU movie I’ll be seeing opening night since Far From Home. I used to see everything opening night or week since Dr. Strange but yeah the pandemic and pretty meh reaction to the shows have sapped my interest. Though I loved NWH and really liked Shang-Chi, I saw them weeks after premier and on Disney Plus, respectively. Haven’t completed a TV show since FATWS though I did start Loki, Ms. Marvel and She Hulk. Haven’t seen Eternals, DS2, or T:L&T even though they’re on streaming. I hope this will help reinvigorate my interest in seeing movies in theaters again. I’ve only seen NWH, NTTD and AQP 2 in theaters since COVID started.

The official album tracklist is out

I’ve only seen True Grit so that’s my number 1 for now lol. I’ll try to see more on the list before the deadline.

Interesting. I gave up on Wordle months ago but might try this out for a bit. Solved today’s in first guess.

That got me more than the audio. Ugh I’m going to be a crying mess watching this movie 😢
