It’s Anime. The rights for Anime X-Men content were not a part of the Fox deal as Marvel and Madhouse studios made a deal back in 2011 that lasted through the merger. I would expect whenever that deal is due for renegotiation in the next few years it will shift to D+

Nah. He literally had the chance to audition for it with INCREDIBLES 2 and blew it because while fans of that movie series liked it (and I think it was a critical success too) it's not what the FF needs to be for the MCU. If you put a Brad Bird FF into the MCU I feel like it would tank. He did "Family superhero" fine when it was a new creation...but he did it with a couple of hackneyed scripts for kids. He also did TOMORROWLAND which tanked and Disney was not happy. I don't know why people like Brad Bird so much. Even Ghost Protocol is only so-so. Like I legit don't get what's so good about him as a director. He's MOR at best.

Watts made two VERY successful recent films in the Superhero genre, successfully bridging the MCU and Sony and gets the "family" vibe needed for FF.

Tbf like Incredibles is a top 5 superhero film for me whereas I found Homecoming bland and didn't even get through Far From Home, so yeah, I disagree very very muchly with you on this one.

Well Phase 4 officially kicked off today with the first two eps of WANDAVISION.

The attention to detail in the “old sitcoms” format (I LOVE LUCY for ep 1, and BEWITCHED for ep 2) is impeccable. And every time something weird happens and pulls Wanda SLIGHTLY out of what’s going on...the camera jumps to a non-sitcom angle and I was super impressed by that.

Spoilers for the first two eps

Anyways, roll on the next eps. It’s a weird show, but you can tell it’s a big puzzle of a show on purpose.

I let my son watch the first Avengers movie. I always said I wouldn't let him watch stuff he wasn't officially old enough for but pandemic lockdown makes a person desperate. He knows all of the characters anyway from the kids at school - he loves Cap despite never having seen him on TV.

His favourite Avenger is The Hulk. Mainly because his favourite colour is green and he can totally identify with someone who lives to smash stuff. I don't think any others are suitable though. I'm desperate to watch Jurassic Park with him because he loves dinos but I need to keep my cool as I think he shouldn't be ready to see people being eaten. Off the top of anyone's head are any of them not particularly big on fighting or death? Suitable for a 4 year old? I remember the general themes of them all but it's the little details that catch you out with young kids. We watched Back to the Future with him and the word "shit" comes up a lot and you realise the theme of the movie is essentially learning to punch someone in the face.

I'm slightly stressing he will go back to school and call someone a "mewling quim".

WANDAVISION Episode 3 was probably the best of the lot so far...and now I think I know what's going on sort of.

Spoiler


This show is bizarre, but I have a feeling the complete thing will be a masterpiece. It just feels weird because it drops week to week and would work better as a bingable 9 eps all at once.

Is there a general theme with each episode of Wandavision? I haven't really followed what the show is about, other then the earlier trailers had me confused. But I get the feeling each episode is staged to give viewers nostalgia feelings of classic sitcom tropes from the 70s/80s and really locks in on that particular theme throughout the episode. Is that the case?

Thank you! And ooh that's interesting. I am definitely not familiar with the comics storylines this is drawing from in any substantial way, just tiny informational osmosis here and there, so that's a pretty rad potential.

Is this the real Worry or a Wanda-magicked Worry? Either way, welcome back!

This is such a petulant complaint. You're not the first person I've seen comment about this, but it's as completely exasperating as "The Eagles should have taken Frodo to Mordor to destroy the ring"...just enjoy the MCU for what it is.
