Marvel Movie General

My new goal starting in January is to get all of the pre-MCU Spider-Man movies on Blu-Ray.

DSITMOM be like

Spider-Man: No Way Home has just smeshed past the $1 billion mark, hell yeah.

There are still some countries delaying this movie so this is still gonna climb before everyone has finally got to watch it.

My country is frustratingly going to premiere it on January 8.

Agent Venom with MCU Flash Thompson would would be on par with Topher Grace’s Venom

I swear, the ending of NWH rekindled my trauma from reading My Little Dashie. It’s just the way it happened was so similar to the fanfic.

Now I’m imaging a baby Doc Ock being sent to Tom Holland in a box.

June 2004: Sam Raimi director of Spider-Man 2 makes a Doctor Strange reference
April 2014: Ten years later Captain America: The Winter Solder makes another Doctor Strange reference
October 2014: It was announced that a Doctor Strange movie was coming
February 2015: It was announced that Spider-Man would join the MCU
May 2016: Spider-Man makes his first MCU appearance in Civil War
November 2016: Doctor Strange came to theatres directed by Scott Derrickson
July 2017: Spider-Man has his first solo movie in the MCU in Homecoming
November 2017: Doctor Strange made a cameo in Ragnarok
April 2018: Spider-Man and Doctor Strange officially meet for first time in Infinity War
April 2019: Spider-Man and Doctor Strange team up once more in Endgame
July 2019: Spider-Man’s second MCU solo outing had a Doctor Strange shoutout, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gets announced with Scott Derrickson returning to direct
January 2020: Marvel announced that Scott Derrickson will no longer direct Doctor Strange 2 but will still remain as a producer
February 2020: Sam Raimi was in talks with Marvel to direct the film
April 2020: Sam Raimi officially announces directing Doctor Strange 2

I’d rate No Way Home a perfect score if this guy had actually showed up.

Fingers crossed for Across the Spider-Verse.

Finally got around to watching No Way Home, and while I’m not a fan of the MCU Spider-Man movies I’ll admit this one was good.
it was honestly kinda surreal seeing Toby play Peter again after all these years, I grew up with the Sam Raimi films so seeing him interact with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland was pretty awesome, also great that they reference all the things that happened in their movie’s universes like what happened to Gwen and Harry as well as little details like Toby being able to shoot actual web instead of using web shooters like the others.
I will say I’m a little disappointed that neither Venom or Rhino could be in this but other then that great to see Octavius, Osborn, Conners, Flint, and Max come back and actually be played by the same actors from their respective movies as well.
Was also surprised at how it ended with Aunt May dying and Strange using his spell to make everyone forget Peter Parker which really will make the series moving forward interesting and sorta a nice return to form.
So overall while I’m still not a fan of the Holland Spider-Man movies I will say this one was actually not bad or at least not as bad as I thought it would be anyways.

One thing I thought was kinda odd was the fact that Flint Marko was covered in sand all throughout the movie where’s in the Raimi films he could still look human when he needed to. Seems a bit weird especially since he’s still played by Thomas Haden Church so it’s not like they were just covering up the actor or something.
I kinda thought about it over and I actually came to an idea for that being Because Flint has spent so much time with his sand powers that his DNA started getting more affected by it thus he’s becoming more sand then human as a result.

I’ve just dug deep into exploring the abomination known as the Japanese Spider-Man, I must say that series is one of the lesser known classic tokusatsu stuff around and what’s more intriguing, is Stan Lee himself loved this series so much.

The suit actor had great body language.

I just watched the “Doctor Strange 2” trailer a few times. And I have one question (which I feel compelled to ask even though you guys don’t work at Marvel):

@Background Pony #B20A
Yup.
It’ll be a clever way to introduce the X-Men. I think it’s a way to keep the X-Men’s metaphorical stories of prejudice in a world where superheroes are already known and celebrated.

@Dex Stewart
Somehow I’m not surprised considering Wikipedia told me about a possible X-Men MCU movie coming out in a couple of years.

Also in order to get mom ready for this, I’m gonna have her re-watch all of the movies with Wanda and Vision (which includes Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, then we’ll be watching WandaVision, Loki and What If…?, all on Disney+. Much like how for Spider-Man: No Way Home we watched the Tobey Maguire trilogy and the Andrew Garfield duology, via Amazon Video. She was confused at first until I mentioned that the villains in those movies would appear in the movie thanks to the multiverse.

@Background Pony #B20A
My mom would watch them all in marathon just for fun.

@Dex Stewart
She’s actually already seen the aforementioned movies (in order to prepare for Endgame in 2019), but in the past couple years she’s started forgetting what happened in them. Hence the movie-refreshing.

@Background Pony #B20A
I’m not big into MCU movies myself. I liked the Spider-Man NWH movie, and the Punisher tv show. I do like seeing the different interpretations.

@Dex Stewart
Then you will hate me for having all the MCU movies (including The Incredible Hulk) on Blu-Ray.

@Background Pony #B20A
I actually think that’s pretty cool.
I remember watching the Incredible Hulk. I thought it was pretty meh.
If you ordered a steelbook of Eternals you may get a copy I packaged at work last week.

@Dex Stewart
Actually, I usually just get the standard Blu-Ray version. Also thanks for reminding me to get Eternals on Tuesday.
