It's true. Been confirmed.

Also, I love that the release date is 6.9.2024....69...LMAO.

On that Wrexham show, the supporters are such devoted Deadpool fans now. There's a Deadpool permanent fixture in the pub attached to the Racecoruse pitch for fucks sake. I fully expect if the series continues, Reynolds and Mack-el-henny (sp?) will bring Wolverine over for a meet and greet with the supporters. Reynolds and Mack-el-henny seem to be legit some solid dudes and would be a cool hang. They spent a evening at the pub getting hammered with some ardent supporters and listened to there complaints. Probably not the greatest idea (or maybe genius?), but yeah, you get a few pints and shots in football hooligans and they don't really edit themsevles about where they feel the team is heading. Reynolds - "do you wake up out of bed in a sprint!"

There's a whole bunch of Disney/Marvel stuff in here including

Armour Wars (Iron Man)
Blade remake needs a new director

and, most important of all

James Earl Jones retires as voice of Darth Vader.

Goodness, tree-play post:

Harrison Ford to play Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross in Thunderbolts movie, slated for release mid-2024.

That's actually quite a decent roster. I wonder if they'll

go full "Norman Osborn" later on?

[worry]

Oh dang, I forgot William Hurt died. That is a big get though, can't remember last time I saw Ford with a mustache.

I watched all of She-Hulk. The first episode is, imo, terrible. Just hokey and overwritten top to bottom. Then the rest of the show immediately turned things around, becoming much more in line with what I thought it was gonna be -- a cute and mildly clever legal beagle sitcom with lotsa meta jokes. Closer to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend than Ally McBeal in tone though.

[Tsundoku]

Yeah, I didn't mind She-Hulk by the end. Some nice nods to the 80s etc comic 4th wall breaking.

Oh, this looks like a lot of goofy FUN!

Saw BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER.

It was...not great.

I'll throw my complaints into spoiler tags.

Spoiler

First things first, the photography in the format half of the movie is so completely dark. Didn't matter if it was Shuri and Romanda talking on a beach by a fire at night, or in the depths of the ocean near Atlantis Talokan. Murky AF. Shit, when we GO to the undersea city, what should be glorious looking is a murky, dim thing that you can barely register characters in....there are none-submersed parts of the city and even there is like dark rooms.

Atlantis Talokan should be a wonder to behold, right? It's not. AQUAMAN did Atlantis SO well....BP:WF fails at even showing it to me properly, I could not see fuck all.

The first time I actually SAW Tenoch Huerta's eyes....was like the 5th time he's on screen because thank the gods a scene finally happens in daylight.

Like here:

This is what so much looks like...the costumes have details (I guess)....but I can't see them, the whole throne room they are in seems to have details too....but I can't fucking see them. This shot is actually one of the BETTER lit undersea shots....if that tells you anything. Most are FAR worse than this.

I could genuinely not see anything for large parts of the film (anything that happens underwater or at night). It was infuriating.

I know it's not the same DOP on this film as the first and oh my god it shows. The film then suffers even in daylight scenes from what I would call boring cinematography. The first film looked so rich, and the action scenes so dynamic. I found none of that here.

Riri Williams is just kind of there, and doesn't add too much to the proceedings till she's suited up...and the less said about the Ironheart suit being shaped like an actual heart...the better.

Both Martin Freeman and Julia Louise Dreyfuss (yep, surprise I guess?) are useless. Like their parts could have been filled by any random Shield-like agents.

This brings me to my biggest problem....Shuri. This whole movie is an exercise in how to handle and process grief. And I get why they did that, they had the herculean task of trying to figure out how to follow Chadwick's real life death....but let's be clear The Black Panther appears in all of ten minutes of this Black Panther movie that is nearly 3 hours of runtime. Ten Minutes. Shove Ironherart in, and Okoye and Nakia (another underused character) in techy suits Shuri made for them...and a finale battle that should have big stakes but doesn't feel like it does. Namor admitting defeat to sort of trick Wakanda into future defence of his nation feels like a let down after all he did and who he killed. Namor's sousing Namora just kind of comes out of nowhere to disagree with him about it....like who are you lady? I was not sure if she was his wife, daughter...or whatever....turns out she's his cousin. Okay, sure.

Namor calls himself a mutant in a throwaway line.

It feels like this is a 2 hour diatribe on processing grief before you get to 40 minutes of Marvel movie, and that 40 minutes was lacklustre. Shuri does very little in the suit, and even her war cry of Wakanda Forever and the salute feels like it's pressed onto her.

Winston Duke's M'Baku is the best part of this whole movie, by a very long stretch.

I expected to be sad and go through grieving Chadwick with them....I did not because nothing in the film really lends itself to that.

I loved the first movie, but this was really lacklustre. It's not terrible, but it is not at all good.

Put it this way, as a movie meant to entertain, BLACK ADAM was far better.

I'm so disappointed by this. So disappointed.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL was wonderful. It was funny, charming as hell, and just really heartwarming. Like it's exactly what I wanted from a Marvel Christmas special. Drax and Mantis absolutely SHINE in this. Well well worth your time.

You’re about the third person I’ve heard say this in the last day. Gonna have to watch it with the kiddos soon.

100% Drax from the first movie. He's on point and hilarious here.

Also Rocket gets a gift that is going to have wider MCU implications.
