    Possibly, but if you check movies with similar IMDB score to Black Widow (6.9) and compare their RT scores:

    Jurassic world: 7.0, 71% RT.

    The Magnificent Seven (2016): 6.9, 64% RT.

    The Hitman's Bodyguard: 6.9, 43% RT.

    Captain America: TFA: 6.9, 80% RT. Hmmm.

    Does it prove anything conclusively? No, but it sure looks strange.

    Honestly I'd be interested to see if there's a non-Disney action movie with similar IMDB score, and better RT performance.

     

    This just shows how pointless IMDB ratings are since TFA is vastly superior to the other movies listed.

  2. Enjoyed the finale. I think it mostly stuck the landing and sets up the hook for both season 2 and phase 4 in general pretty well. The timeline stuff mostly makes sense to me, pretty much what I expected so I didn't really have a problem with it. The opening sequence was spectacular! Overall I'd say a very solid 3.5/5

    The weakest sections to me were everything to do with Renslayer and the TVA agents. Just didn't work for me and doesn't interest me. I'm also probably in the minority in that I didn't care about Mobius at all so his end didn't really effect me much, except that I feel bad for Loki being alone again. Loved Jonathan Majors as this version of Kang and can't wait to see him in the future.

    I always thought the TVA explanation was propaganda, so I never believed them to be actually true. Clearly whoever is pretending to be the Time Keepers is just using the 'Sacred Timeline' mantra to justify their existence and reinforcing the mind control of their workers. There is no 'sacred timeline' that is supposed to happen. Whoever created the TVA is just trying to maintain the one timeline that is advantageous to them.

    That leaked plot sounds pretty uninteresting to me.

    Where can I read these leaks? 

  5. There are only 8 shows listed right now at my local AMC for Saturday for Black Widow. I'm not sure why there are so few shows right now since even ATatW got over 20 shows for release Saturday as soon as tickets went on sale. Although this same theater didn't add additional ITH showtimes until Tuesday night before release, so maybe they're just waiting until we get closer to release? Anyway I don't expect huge presale numbers until they add more showtimes.

     Wild speculation time: 

    Spoiler

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Time Keepers turn out to be the true villains, or someone else high up in the TVA. They enjoy playing god and deciding the fates of trillions and just created the company line to prevent the staff from asking too many questions. The evil Loki variant they're hunting may have discovered the truth and is now trying to burn down the TVA.

    Oooh boy, man, time travel is really playing with fire.   
     

    A lot of words were thrown around this ep that relate to very logically problematic instantiations of time travel. I guess there is nothing to do but pray that they can work things out in the next 5 eps.     
     

    Aside from my foreboding feeling that his show might lead in to a totally fumbled execution of time travel and multiverse stuff that ruins Endgame, Phase 4, and the MCU at large... really enjoyed this first ep 😆

    That's my main concern as well.

    Spoiler

    Although I do feel like the whole 'sacred timeline' purity thing is totally propaganda made up by someone high up in the TVA, and that they're just picking and choosing whatever they want to happen and killing off variants and timelines that they don't like.

  8. Before the first trailer was released this was by far the D+ show I was least interested in. I was just over Loki as character and don't want to see anymore of him. The first trailer was great, and got me really hyped. But now the subsequent clips are far less entertaining, and my interest in this is now back to what it was when it was first announced, that is to say 'meh'. I'll still watch it but I'm not hyped for it like I was for WV or TFatWS.

    Only if he doesn't get dubbed.

     

    Let me say it again:

     

    TONY LEUNG HAD BETTER NOT BE DUBBED FOR AMERICA, FEIGE!!! 

     

    If there's a "problem" with English... subtitle him.  It remains [reasonably] authentic.  

    Tony Leung (like most HK actors) has been dubbed for decades into Mandarin for China/TW so I don't really have a problem with him being dubbed into English.
