A good OW but with the MCU we expect record breaking stuff so can understand some of the disappointed. Just indicates we should perhaps lower all expectations as we're still a bit away from normalcy at this stage. Also puts a better light on what Fast 9 did on OW IMO. Without knowing the expectations of PA hard to gauge whether this will change Disney's mind for future releases or will they just stay the course as circumstances hopefully improve.

My question is when are we expecting weekend threads to get back to prepandemic levels 😄

This episode hit me the hardest out of all so far

Was there any deaging done on William Hurt? Something felt off with his scenes but considering it's only been a couple of years since they did Civil War I can't imagine any deaging was needed. The nerd in me just wants to question what exactly happened after Natasha gets caught presumably by Ross and co. I assume they didn't want to show that so they could just do the time skip and have Natasha already have her hair changed. I think Taskmaster works well for the purpose of the movie but ultimately the character doesn't really do that much which is disappointing unlike what TWS accomplished with Bucky as Winter Soldier even though they have roughly the same screentime. It's that this was originally supposed to be the first appearance of Valentina as Falcon and Winter Soldier does a better job of explaining who she is. But seems like Yelana has been working for her for a decent time.

Would love a $100M OW but doesn't seem likely. Still nothing to scoff at with a O/U $90M OW and July MCU films usually has long legs though with PA and covid times who knows.

Solid movie overall. Really enjoyed the first half of the movie where it leans heavily on Bourne-esque action (though not done as well) but slowly devolves into your standard over the top battles which was expected. Still though really happy with Florence Pugh as Yelena she is one of the few female MCU characters who is allowed to be as quippy and fun as her male counterparts. I liked as well the family dynamic wasn't quite as I expected from the trailers. I do feel there's a better more intimate Black Widow movie hidden within all the excess but overall a nice welcome return to the MCU on the big screen. Some of the online criticisms is a bit over the top in my view only because the flaws on this movie is given a pass on other MCU films IMO.

That was to show that the TVA is above all power known to us in the MCU so far. What's killing half the universe when you can literally erase timelines?

Don't see why this one cannot be just pure theatrical with I assume a 45 day exclusive period before being available on Disney+

Damn I hope this isn't just a one off season. Would love it to be a reoccurring show with different animation studios and styles. Heck have it expand outside of the anime world for future seasons if you want too. But looks awesome so far.

Never seen the musical but have to say absolutely loved this film nearly as much as the Hamilton movie on Disney+. Think seeing it in the cinemas helped get through the length as it certainly felt long at times. Loved the 2nd half especially.

Marvel is comfort food for casual audiences. And that's actually a good compliment for them. At this point it's more akin to a long running sitcom where each episode/movie has a different premise and different reoccuring characters get the spotlight but the core of it is the same. I enjoy my comfort food very much.

Reviews seem par for the course for an MCU film. As long as it delivers on the spy/espionage angle I will be quite happy.

Wonder if Universal with try desperately to bring the Rock back for 10 and 11 or if they are even still going to do a 10 and 11. Honestly they should wrap it up with one last one unless 10 somehow gets people back to arrest the decline since Furious 7.

5 is my favourite but yeah have a real soft spot for Furious 7 with the whole endeavour. Really was the ideal ending for the main series.

Was a pretty cool trailer I think sells the movie better to general audiences.

Action scenes were done pretty well and enjoyed the banter but these movies have become way too focused on Dom's personal life and past in an attempt to recontextulize past events as a "saga". Audience seemed to enjoy the ridiculousness of it which is why we watch these films after all.

These past two episodes have been fantastic

These past two episodes have been pretty great
