Shang-Chi I honestly though was mediocre. People makes it out to be this amazing and great Martial artist movie that hasn't been seen or done before when there are plenty of others that was miles better then it.

The Bruce Lee movies, Bloodsport, Big Trouble in Little China starring Kurt Russell, the original 1995 Mortal Kombat, Kung Fu Panda trilogy, etc.

It depends on what you watched; Shang-Chi was solid, Hawkeye was fun, and Ms. Marvel was great.

(I generally have liked the Marvel movies/shows that I've seen, though I felt like some of the Disney Plus shows were rushed towards the end, and Dr. Strange 2 had great directing but poor writing, especially when it came to Wanda)

I watched WandaVision, Black Widow, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, Shang-Chi, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and Thor.

WandaVision was pretty great. Only show I watched week to week, and it was pretty different compared to most MCU projects. The finale blew though.
Black Widow didn't need to exist in this day and age
Falcon and Winter Soldier was pretty bad, I liked the lead characters' arcs and chemistry but not much else. It had the stupidest twist villain I've ever seen in the Power Broker, who felt really tacked on, and the worst twist hero in John Walker.
Loki was okay, kinda just made me want to rewatch Doctor Who series 1-7 though I did like the Kang tease and the one scene with all the variants
Sang-Chi was fun, reminded me a lot of shonen anime in the best way possible
Spidey was really good and one of the best MCU films
I completely agree with what you said about Doctor Strange
And Thor Love and Thunder was the biggest disappointment of all, I love Taika and Ragnarok but this was not a great showing from him at all.

I want to watch Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel eventually and maybe Hawkeye for Hailee Steinfeld and What If because it sounds like a cool concept, but I'm not excited for most future projects and I'm definitely not going to watch all of them despite being kind of excited for one of my favorite villains being set up as the next big threat

You can blame Ike Perlmutter (a Marvel executive) for that one. It seems like they would have done a Black Widow movie much sooner, but Perlmutter had creative control over what got made until late 2015. (which was at the start of Phase 3)

He's the sort of person who thought that movies that starred minorities and women wouldn't do well, which is why Black Panther and Captain Marvel weren't greenlit until after he lost control over the movie division.

That sucks, but it doesn't really change the fact that making a Black Widow movie after the character's death was pointless

Oh, definitely, but there presumably wasn't a lot of room to fit it into the schedule. They tend to space the movies out so that there's a 3-4 month gap between them (I guess it's to prevent fatigue from setting in, or to keep them from cannibalizing each other's ticket sales).

It would probably be a tight fit to get the movie written, filmed, promoted, released, etc. before Infinity War, and while they could have made it work between Infinity War and Endgame, Captain Marvel and Ant-Man And The Wasp needed to be released before Endgame since they were both relevant to Endgame's plot. (plus, Ant-Man 2 served as a light-hearted breather, much like the original Ant-Man did after Age of Ultron)

I'd like to think that, if Ike Perlmutter had been removed earlier, then we would have gotten a Black Widow solo film back in phase 2. It did feel like something that should have came out back in 2016, if not earlier. (I thought it was okay - not one of the better movies, but nowhere near as bad as Thor: The Dark World or my initial reaction to Iron Man 3)

This is gonna depend on how WB go about with Ezra Miller going on a rampage.
They can't honestly promote the film in this scenario and it's not exactly easy for them to just do reshoots with someone else as Flash.

We already know based on inside info that their focus is that it’s flashpoint not a flash movie. With Keaton and super girl getting big promotions in marketing alongside other things I won’t spoil from the movie. Which with the lack of a justice league right now, making this look like a team up film will get it to sell.

I have not played Overwatch in 3 days, and let me say this...it feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Man does it feel great to finally be free from that loathsome piece of filth some call a "game". Seriously, the "game" is just incredibly unfair, what with the opposing teams being incredibly overpowered, stupid rules (play on a hybrid or escort map and you're on defense, they're unstoppable, and when you're on offense they're impenetrable) and the "game" forcing you to keep playing until it says so, meaning you have to play for hours and hours until the game feels like it. And it speaks volumes on how evil Act Blizz are when releasing such an unfair "game" is the LEAST scummy thing they've done, and we all know they've done (and ARE doing) way way worse, what with all the abuse that's happened and the coverups....I better stop before I completely lose it again, just enjoy getting away from Overwatch as long as possible.

No one tell Hugh about the pipe bomb in his mailbox.

Unfortunately he'll find out anyway, since the bomb detonated when Neco-Arc was putting it in.

The MCU is already declining in quality, just look at Black Widow, Dr. Strange 2, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and ****ing Thor Love and Thunder, and those are just the ones I watched

Black Widow and Love & Thunder I can get…but Multiverse of Madness and TFAWS being there is quite the take

I'll be glad when we get details on the Mario movie because the only stuff I can find on YouTube right now is home movies containing Mario plushes.

Venom color swaps set 1. Based on Ultimate Spider-Man's Venom and 3 of his MVC style colors.


Later this week, I'm planning to have more designs on my TeePublic, so I'll shill that some more!

I find it weird how Capcom decided to port the Darlstalkers series to the same modern consoles. Twice. Within the same month.

In general, stores only got like one or two copies to sell.

Amazon still hasn't refunded me for the copy they never shipped out.

Late to the convo, but I really hope they keep Ezra as the Flash and realize that there's no way they can reshoot so they just CGI them with Dall-E and have like Carl the night janitor to voice them

Edit: Pronouns, my bad

Simple solution to the problem would be to just film a scene at the end where the Flash is played by a different actor, it's a flashpoint movie so they could probably get away with changing his physical appearance at the end.

Both have massive writing problems. With Falcon and Winter Soldier it mostly comes down to its antagonists, John Walker did NOT deserve a redemption arc and Sharon Carter being the Power Broker is some of the stupidest **** I've seen in a Marvel thing.
Doctor Strange 2 to me proves that the titular character cannot carry a movie all on his own no matter how good the actor playing him is, and the continuation for Wanda's arc from WandaVision makes no ****ing sense. It had good directing but cool visuals can't make up for bad character writing in my opinion.

Okay now they are just rubbing salt in the wound, i just checked my email. I got the guilmon code, (You know the thing the Digimon fandom was complaining about not getting with their copies of the game) but MY copy of the game didn't show up.

So, like... What happens if i enter a download code for a game that's not on my switch into the eshop?
