Marvel Cinematic Universe

Thor 4 has been playing against more big movies than Thor 3.

I enjoyed the first episode of Single Female Lawyer. Felt a tad rushed, but lots of fun little details. That post-credit scene was a hoot! Also liked the Inside Out Easter egg. Has a ton of potential.

[Randall]

The best gags were in the trailers, so it felt like there were few surpises. Good stuff, though. I'm looking forward to seeing the next few episodes. And the CGI is really pretty good for a TV show!

[Bill1978]

Like with all the other Marvel series I found the first episode merely OK. As required lots of setting up. My only criticism would be the episode wasn't as funny as the writers thought it was. I'm definitely gonna keep watching cause hopefully like all the other series, I end up getting hooked on the story.

I had no idea that the status of Steve's virginity was such a talking point that it needed to be addressed.

Hugh jackman back as wolverine for deadpool 3.

Why on earth was this not announced at D23?

Let's hope Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in DP3 isn't a mindless fanservice character who gets killed off shortly after being introduced like Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

[Daniel]

A follow-up video has been posted. Good song choices! Yeah, kinda obvious the film would be announced on its own terms. Ryan's got that social media presence and charisma to have special rules. I will always love Hugh.

[Randall]

I can't see them wasting Jackman in this case. Hopefully, he'll be a major player in the film, given the push they're giving it.

[EricJ]

So, are they going to try and de-historize the previous movies, and work in the comic's canon that Deadpool's healing (and side-effect nuttiness) was an experiment to try and graft him with Wolverine's mutant DNA?

...Or, would that be treading too much on X-Men Origins: Wolverine territory, of which we shall not speak, but Ryan Reynolds will no doubt go to town on?

[Randall]

Either works for me!

War machine: armor wars disney plus series now a film!

[Randall]

Hmmm... Theatrical or streaming? I'm assuming streaming, but maybe not?

CNET says theatrical, but are they just guessing?

[Ben]

I have heard it may be Marvel's first D+ movie, although never underestimate Disney leaving money on the table…!

[EricJ]

At this point, there's a bubble for studios thinking that studio-owned streaming has liberated them forever from the cruel chains--and distribution costs--of theatrically-released non-blockbuster middle-tier, and until it pops, big time (which it should have with "Artemis Fowl", but those were different times), the cineplexes are going to be pretty darn EMPTY, even with masks now optional.

Best default guess now is, whether a movie isn't going to streaming.

(Problem is, if no one's sure how studios "make money" on a direct-to-streaming release, no one's sure how they'll LOSE money on one and learn their lesson from it, either. With streaming, studios get to be the legends in their own minds they think they are, and there's almost no nasty real world to tell them different.)
