My best friend that I share my Disney+ with bought premium access to Black Widow for $30. I was strongly considering seeing it in the theater but I watched it at home instead.

It’s a lot of fun, good action and good humor throughout. Nothing groundbreaking but like I said it’s just a fun time. Florence Pugh and David Harbour steal the movie imo.

That’s fucking crazy that they did that lol what a tease. I’m sure we’ll get another Deadpool film but if they used him in like smaller videos to promote other Marvel content I wouldn’t even be mad lmao

I find it really hard to get invested in the MCU after Endgame.

  • WandaVision was ok but too slow to start.
  • Falcon and Winter Soldier was nice, I enjoyed it, but it's not on the same level as Daredevil or Punisher.
  • I hated Loki. I thought it was unbearably stretched out and uninteresting.
  • Black Widow was a pretty good movie but nothing unforgettable it came out three years too late.
  • Shang-Chi I really enjoyed, I thought it was well-paced, funny, spectacular, well acted... but it just didn't feel like a Marvel movie. More like a 47 Ronin spin-off.
Now I'll admit I'm excited for Spider-Man : No Way Home and Sam Raimi directing Doctor Strange 2. But nothing else until they make some announcements about Fantastic Four.

I'll give my quick reviews cause I'm bored at work.

Wandavision - my favorite of the Marvel shows. Genuinely new and different. Outstanding performances from Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. Really expands the Scarlet Witch character. Show can drag a little but it's not a big deal.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier - The most straightforward of the shows. Great chemistry between the leads and satisfying return for Zemo. Villains were uninteresting and wasted. Best parts of the show were when Bucky and Sam were just buddying around talking about life. Action was also pretty good. Ultimately it grew the two characters and I'm glad Sam is Cap now.

Loki - Honestly my least favorite show. It was different but it felt really dragged out. Once it became faster and explored the fun in the character, it became better. Tom Hiddleston again crushes the role. Definitely super important to the MCU's future but just didn't quite get it right. Still enjoyable enough.

Black Widow - I actually liked this better than most people. I thought the family dynamic between Natasha and her family was really effective and even heartbreaking at parts. Wonderful performances from the four main cast members. Taskmaster was probably the worst villain or one of the worst in MCU history. Basically the same as FATWS where the movie was better when the characters were just talking to each other rather than the main story.

Shang Chi - Yeah I fuckin loved this movie. Nothing else to say lol. Amazing cast, action scenes, humor, finally a good villain, great story. Really no weak spots.

Marvel Studios Delays Entire Phase 4 Slate With THE MARVELS Pushed To 2023; INDIANA JONES 5 Also Delayed (comicbookmovie.com)

I can't imagine this is that big of a deal but it seems a little odd. All these movies were well on track to meet their original dates so I don't see why you'd delay them. They also moved two untitled movies off their 2023 date. I know I might be reading too far into this but I wonder if they were having issues with some of the untitled movies so they pushed back current movies while they sort things out. A less extreme solution is they just want to give their slate room to breathe. Either way, I'm very impatient so this sucks lmao.
