Lol. Someone is having a fun time with IRL stuff HAHAHA. I've chosen to skip Captain America BNW as the reviews showed it was mixed bag. I kinda expected it cause of the news prior about the movie having tons of reshoots and how the marketing of it was very weak like Marvel/Disney themselves are embarrassed of this film. Marvel imo needs to start respecting their ips and heroes' personal stories, rather than trying to set up another overarching story like the infinity stones, an attempt to still chase after that billions of dollars of box office per film, instead of following a proper pace to cool off first, then set everything up.

Look at Spiderman NWH. While setting up the multiverse, it was still a very isolated and personal story arc for Peter's growth. Give me more of this, fuck, give me more stuff like The Batman (rip release date. Gotta wait 2 more years for sequel AHHHH).

Same with Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. Could have been a more reflective story of Stephen Strange's character, dealing with the fallout of Infinity War and End Game. He's a major reason to a lot of the sacrifices that happened as he saw the outcomes and chose this 1 way which was still tragic. Could have gotten a story arc where he has to deal with his new, daunting responsibility as the Sorcerer Supreme (or at least soon to be), which then he slowly adapts to his character of the comics: a morally grey character who has to make extremely difficult choices for the greater good.

Man... Sorry, there are currently a few superhero stories that aren't Marvel or DC that I have been watching that really do justice to their characters without having the shame of being a comic book adaptation. To see Marvel fumble this hard (for DC, they never even got off the ground properly, so please James Gunn, save DC. I'm a DC fan and these the characters there deserve justice) is so disappointing considering how well they did things prior by respecting their source material (for the most part). Now, they are just adapting their heroes loosely just so they can set up the next big event that can bring in gagillions of dollars.

Ok. Marvel rant over. I'm actually planning to watch Companion instead in KLCC's DA hall, but haven't found the time to do so. In any case, yeah, IRL geo-political stuff is concerning but I'm also figuring my life out with work and other responsibilities. Hopefully world events stuff get sort out but a lot of it is beyond our power. Stay safe out there yall.
