My kingdom for anyone who can help with the last clue I need for the #HiddenBooksGame! I'll exchange for clues for any others.

Starting another new to us show tonight for the MCU watch through. We're up to the first season of Runaways! The only thing I know about this is that James Marsters is in it, so my Buffy fan heart is hopeful.
Promotional poster for the Marvel television series "Runaways." It features six teenage characters standing in a dramatic pose against a backdrop of palm trees and a sunset sky. From left to right, the teens wear a mix of colorful, trendy, and edgy outfits, showcasing diverse personalities. The show's title "Marvel Runaways" is displayed at the top, with logos for Marvel and ABC Studios in the corners.

Up next on the MCU watch-through is the Inhumans series. We did start with this when it first aired and gave up. We're going to give it a second chance, but reserve the right to skip it if it's as bad as we remember!
Poster for "Marvel's Inhumans" television series. It features three central characters: a man with dark hair and a serious expression at the top left, a woman with long red hair and a black outfit in the top right, and another man with a beard and dark clothing in the center. A stylized blue lightning bolt frames the characters. The title "Marvel Inhumans" and "A Marvel Television Series" appear at the bottom, along with the ABC logo. The background has a black-and-white abstract design with red hair strands extending across the image.

Tonight's MCU viewing is Thor: Ragnarok. Definitely the best Thor movie, and the best soundtrack. Let's go!
Poster of Marvel Studios' Thor: Ragnarok featuring Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in the center holding two swords crossed in front of him. The background is colorful with circular patterns, spaceships, and green horns suggesting the character Hela. The title "Thor: Ragnarok" is at the bottom with the release date.

Excellent Sunday evening viewing coming up, as we're onto Spider-man: Homecoming. All the Spidey movies are great, so I'm looking forward to watching them all again.

Once upon a time, there was a woman who could fly...

I'm so excited to have reached the LifeDeath arc in my trip through X-Men history. This is such a brilliant story and really cements Storm as one of my all time favourite X-Men characters.
Comic book cover of Marvel's X-Men issue #186, titled "Lifedeath: A Love Story." The artwork features Storm and Forge against a vivid, surreal sunset sky with red, orange, and purple clouds. On the left, Storm, with her iconic white mohawk hairstyle, is wrapped in a multicolored cloth and sits calmly on the ground. On the right, Forge stands confidently, holding a metal staff, dressed in a sleeveless top, shorts, and sneakers. He has a prosthetic leg. The top of the cover reads "a special double-sized issue" and displays the Marvel logo along with small portraits of several X-Men characters.

The costumes in this film are just spectacular. The colour. The detail. Just gorgeous. Black Panther has to be one of the best looking Marvel films.
Still from Black Panther, showing the tribes watching T'Challa be crowned. The characters are all dressed in costumes inspired by traditional African dress, with bright fabrics, beads, and dramatic shapes.

We've got a treat for the MCU rewatch today. Black Panther! I love this film, and I'm so sad we only got one Black Panther movie with Chadwick Boseman. He's fantastic in this.
Movie poster for Marvel Studios' Black Panther. The central figure is T’Challa (Black Panther), portrayed by Chadwick Boseman, in a powerful pose wearing his Black Panther suit. Surrounding him are major characters including Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), Shuri (Letitia Wright), and others. The background features the futuristic city of Wakanda with advanced architecture and a glowing blue hue. At the bottom, the title “Black Panther” is boldly displayed with the tagline “Long Live the King.” The release date and logos for Marvel Studios, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D are also shown.

It's time to watch Doctor Strange! It's been ages since we've seen Strange in current continuity, and I've missed him! I like the first Strange film a lot, so this rewatch should be fun.
Doctor Strange stands in the center wearing his iconic red Cloak of Levitation and mystical Eye of Agamotto, casting a glowing orange magical spell with his hand. The background features a surreal, kaleidoscopic cityscape with buildings bending and rotating in impossible directions, creating a sense of altered reality and dimension. The scene is vibrant and dramatic, capturing the magical, mind-bending nature of the Marvel film.

Our chronological trip through the MCU brings us to Defenders. I think we watched a couple of episodes of this when it first came out, but definitely didn't finish it. I can't remember if wonderful Claire is in this, but I'm excited to see Jessica again. I've missed her!
Poster for Marvel's The Defenders Netflix original series. It features the four main characters standing in front of a gritty, graffiti-covered wall. From left to right: Danny Rand/Iron Fist (wearing a hoodie, chest tattoo visible), Luke Cage (in a yellow shirt, arms crossed), Jessica Jones (in a leather jacket and jeans), and Matt Murdock/Daredevil (wearing a suit and red-tinted glasses). The title “THE DEFENDERS” appears in large white distressed text above them, with the Marvel logo above the title. The release date “AUG 18” and the Netflix logo are at the bottom.

I want Yelena's outfit from the post credits scene, please.
Yelena is wearing a yellow plaid coat with a white cropped tshirt and check trousers. She looks very grunge cool.

I like that somewhere between the end of Civil War and going on the run as a fugitive, Natasha had time to dye her hair. It's much redder in Black Widow than it was in Civil War. Here's the Civil War hair, for comparison.
Natasha Romanoff, with brown hair, looks intensely focused and slightly alarmed as she turns her head mid-conversation, standing in front of a window.

Tonight's MCU rewatch viewing is Black Widow. I admit, I wasn't especially excited for this film (I like Natasha, I don't care for ScarJo), but I actually really enjoyed it when it came out. I've only seen it once though, so how does it hold up to a repeat viewing?
Wearing a white tactical suit, Natasha Romanoff holds a black firearm while standing on a snow-covered metal walkway. She has long red hair, a serious expression, and a sword strapped to her back. The background features a clear blue sky.

After the struggle of disappointing Iron Fist, we're back in a good place with the great MCU rewatch. Captain America: Civil War is tonight's viewing!
A group of superheroes is charging forward on an airport tarmac in a scene from Captain America: Civil War. From left to right, the characters are Falcon flying with mechanical wings, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Captain America with his shield, Scarlet Witch, and Winter Soldier. In the background, there is an airplane, an airport terminal, smoke, and several vehicles.

Bit concerned for Danny that the Master has turned up...
A close-up shot of Sacha Dhawan as Davos in Iron Fist. He has a shaved head and a thick beard, with an intense and focused expression on his face. His eyes are piercing, and his skin appears slightly sweaty.

We're on the episode The Singularity, and I have to say, Jemma looks absolutely gorgeous undercover at the transhumanist club. The darker lip really suits her!
A woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair is sitting in a dimly lit bar. She is wearing a red patterned jacket with zipper details over a white top with a high collar. Her hands are clasped together on her lap, and she is engaged in conversation, looking at someone off-camera. In front of her are candles and a tall glass containing a cocktail with a straw and garnish.

Everybody say hi to Mouse, our newest rat resident. His brothers evicted him after some hormonal squabbles, so he's moving in with our girls. I think he might be the biggest rat we've ever owned, by quite some way!

Our chronological journey through the MCU has reached Ant-Man. I think this first one is a lot of fun!
Poster of Marvel's Ant-Man featuring Paul Rudd in the red and black Ant-Man suit. He appears multiple times in a shrinking sequence effect. The movie title 'ANT-MAN' is in bold red letters, with a quote from Dave Karger of Fandango reading, 'My favorite superhero movie ever.'

This moment between Wolverine and Captain America from Secret Wars #10 felt a little relevant...
Wolverine, Magneto, and Captain America are standing in a futuristic-looking setting. Wolverine, wearing his classic yellow-and-brown costume, is angrily confronting Captain America, who is in his red, white, and blue uniform with his shield raised. Magneto, in his red and purple costume, stands between them, raising his arms dramatically. Wolverine, with a tense posture, says, "What you don’t understand, Cap’n, is that we mutants are at war! Always have been, always will be!" Captain America listens with a serious expression while Wolverine continues, "You, with your high-falutin’ ideals—you’re the champion of the American Dream, fightin’ for liberty and justice—" A close-up of Wolverine and Captain America. Wolverine, now pointing an accusatory finger at Captain America, has an intense, angry expression. Captain America remains silent, his face solemn. Wolverine continues his speech: "—But only for your own kind! For humans... for regular Americans! But you just stand by while mutants are being persecuted, don’t you? When have you ever fought for our rights?" Captain America looks troubled but does not respond.

My MCU rewatch has arrived at Avengers: Age of Ultron, so I know I'm going to be rage skeeting later. Anyway, a movie about an evil AI. Definitely not relevant anymore. Nope.
Ultron, a humanoid robot with a sleek metallic body, glowing red eyes, and intricate mechanical details. He is firing an energy blast from his hand.

J. Jonah James on was right about you, Spider-man!

I love these old arcade machines, but that key chain balancing itself like this might have changed my mind 😆
A woman with brown hair, wearing a black coat, is playing a coin pusher arcade machine inside a seafront arcade. A stack of red tickets is visible hanging out from the machine. Close-up of a coin pusher arcade machine filled with coins and prizes. A Spider-Man keychain in a plastic package is prominently displayed on top of the coins, balancing between the coins and the lip of the machine, so it CAN'T FALL DOWN IN THE PRIZE SLOT.

How does one listen to 'girl dinner', please?
This screenshot shows a Spotify "daylist" playlist titled "pink pilates princess preppy saturday afternoon". Below the title, the text reads: "You listened to grwm and passenger princess on Saturdays in the afternoon. Here's some: pink pilates princess, preppy, brat summer, scream, hot girl walk and girl dinner." At the bottom, it says, "Made for George Elsmere-Whitney", along with the Spotify logo on the left.

Yes, a very normal photo to send your mentor/father figure from your honeymoon, Scott. Also, who took this picture?
This panel from Uncanny X-Men #178 made me giggle.
The comic panel from Uncanny X-Men #178 features Professor Xavier holding a handwritten letter and a photograph. The photograph shows Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Madelyne Pryor in bed, with a heart-shaped headboard behind them. The narration reads, "The first chosen for both school and X-Men was Scott Summers. Many believed he would lead the group forever." The text continues: "But life is a succession of changes -- and surprises." Xavier reflects, saying, "Scott and Madelyne do seem to be enjoying their honeymoon. I envy them their happiness. But they’ve more than earned it."

We're back home again after Christmas with the family, so we're back on the MCU. Starting season one of Jessica Jones tonight, which I LOVE.
