I'm liking the start to Loki season 2. Ke Huy Quan is a good addition to the cast

IGN rated the first episode a 5/10 so I wasn't hopeful. Then watched it and really enjoyed it

I feel all Star Wars/superheroed out at the moment. 
 

Going to watch The Boys spin-off, but Marvel/DC/Star Wars can go suck a D.

A drumstick?

 

I really like drumsticks, especially the classic raspberry and vanilla.

Just watched the 1st episode of season two of Loki.

 

Loved it.

I really don't like the Friday releases for new episodes. Much preferred the Wednesdays as it gave me something to look forward to during the week!

Seen stuff online that Disney have scrapped the new DareDevil series halfway through and are starting again, lots of trouble behind the scenes or something and KF was not impressed.

Glad this has happened especially if it is true that they were going to make it more like a law show and kill off both Foggy and Karen

Loki season finale was absolutely phenomenal

 

Honestly some of the best stuff they have put out for a long time, and easily the best tv series they have done

Echo everything that has been said. Loki is by far the best thing on Disney+. People can moan about other marvel stuff but they can't grumble about this. Tom Hiddleston is just a pleasure to watch.

Really enjoyed loki bit gutted it’s finished. 

[The Bear]

It was a decent finale. Though I didn't understand what he was doing at first at the end there. 

 

I watched The Marvels earlier in the day and that was ok/decent. Some good sequences and one absolutely horrificaly bad one (though my mate didn't think it was as bad as I did). The mid-credits stinger at the end was the best bit of the film though!

Absolutely loved the Loki finale.

 

Brilliant.

 

 

 

[HybridFox]

Loki cemented as the best series in the MCU imo. Literally breathtaking to watch and a very deep ending. Tom Hiddlestone and Owen Wilson were just the perfect casting for this

Necessary to watch Miss Marvel beforehand?

I've kinda skipped it cos I'm not a teenage girl. 

 

I know, shocking right?

Not essential. It gets explained at the start of the film about who she is. Sort of a very quick recap of Ms Marvel. Her powers aren't explained but you see them in action soon enough so no biggie, and later in the film she tells you how she got them.

Bold statement. 

 

WandaVision is still my favourite personally, because it was so differen't and amazing. I can remember after every episode I was reading theories online and chatting with my mate about them constantly trying to guess what was happening and coming next. No other series has given me that buzz since.

BBC News - The Marvels: Superhero movie bombs with lowest MCU box office debut
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67401772

 

Looks like the latest film has absolutely flopped - £38m in its first weekend. 

 

Wonder if this is the first clear cut evidence of over saturation and a beginning to dislike the superhero culture

I hope so. I'm surprised it's taken this long TBH. After Endgame the output should've slowed right down, instead they just keep churning out unimaginative copy / paste shit six times a year. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. 

The strike which has meant there's been little to no promotion wouldn't have helped, but for a long time Chinese audiences especially have been increasingly turning their backs on US superhero movies. 

 

I don't blame them. Cinema has been absolutely over-saturated with superheroes for far too long. People want fresh ideas.

There's only one Marvel movie next year, Deadpool 3. And that isn't really the main MCU, but adjacent to it.

The strike action is probably a help to them. Give people some time off of watching endless fairly crap films.

 

Seen a suggestion that they're moving away from the Kang storyline they'd been setting up

I know this is the feedback from focus groups, but to me the real issue has been the diabolical scripts they’ve been churning out rather than building on the excellent base material - Cap’n Marvel as real case in point. Create decent films like the GOTG and people will still turn up to watch, do a trash follow up to the absolutely wank first Cap Marvel film and they won’t.

Deadpool 3 will clean up at the box office because it's predominantly a 18-rated comedy with probably the world's most likeable movie star in the lead and will see the return of Huge Action as Wolverine which people love to see.

 

It'll definitely buck the trend in declining superhero moviegoers, but at the same time its not going to be a PG paint-by-numbers MCU snoozefest which is what people are fed up of.
