The Guardians having the most improbable comeback in MLB history all the while having this mindset:

Legit respect the long game.

Thor

Absolutely loved this one. Genuinely wonderful direction, great performances, stellar score, and good writing. Hemsworth especially is, pun intended, electric in this. Kenny Branagh brought his best to this and it shows. Just wish the Asgard stuff was on par with the Earth stuff.

4.5/5

I normally enjoy Sam Rockwell a LOT but damn is he just absolutely irritating in this. Ivan Vanko has such a presence around him and Rourke is REALLY good at having a calculated menace. But nah, we got to give poor man's Elon Musk and ACTUAL ELON MUSK (jump scare moment NGL).

Iron Man 2

Mmmmeeeehhhhhhh. Lots to like about it, especially the stuff that carried over from the first film. RDJ continues to entertain and Tony continues to be a fascinating character to study. But a great villain wasted and a plot that drags really holds it down. Not bad, not great. Mid.

2.5/5

Damn shame he is who he is because dude understands character so much and how different personalities play off each other. But yes, enjoy White Thanos. 😂😭

I am considering going to Agents of SHIELD down the line, but more than 4 seasons of a TV show with 20+ hour long episodes during a marathon is a bit much for me, rn. Definitely gonna need me to go back to. And I agree on Joss. LOVED Buffy growing up, but can't see him other than this now:

It's daunting as hell considering there is a LOT of stuff I missed out on and I got very burnt out 9 years ago on all cape shit but I feel like I should catch up since I really have nothing better to do currently. Lol

Incredible Hulk (2008)

Shockingly understated which I think is to the benefit of the film. Everyone is very low-key and the film jogs along nicely, not getting too boring or fast paced. Way better of a third act than Iron Man. Not as fun on the whole, but damn solid.

3.5/5

Iron Man

Hella fucking fun. Great start to the universe. Tony as a character is bolstered by a great arc and a genuinely inspired performance by RDJ. Very fun cinematography and set pieces adorn the film. Especially love Tony and Pepper's budding romance. Not perfect, but a fun ass ride.

4/5

If you have Letterboxed, feel free to keep tabs on my journey there as well. boxd.it/N1td8

For context, I haven't seen a MCU movie since Age of Ultron and some of these movies I've never seen.

Will also be watching the Netflix shows and Disney+ shows in order of the timeline because I am gluttonous. Not watching the ABC or Hulu stuff because FUCK THAT.

40 minutes in call + 3 hours after we hung up.

There are 11 sequels. Of course I believe you.
