man I would love cape movies to have blooper reels / on-set gags during their credits like Jackie Chan movies of the old days

especially movies that have post-credits ffs gimme something to sit with

This could work a lot. The MCU blooper reels are always fun, including this gem. Dunno if all from Black Widow onwards have them on D+, but it's something to miss from the Blu-ray days. https://youtu.be/hGhz5o2cWKc?si=Hu8a3QaRtOzYYAqd

Sure, Barbenheimer was helped by both months of preceding hype and in Barbie's case, heavy physical presence of marketing. But what about the exact opposite, low awareness because overall promotion is lackluster? Blue Beetle was a big victim of this, only two trailers and a few TV spots, Comic-Con the month before release could give a boost if the strikes didn't make the studios all pull out, and the main actor couldn't even mention the movie bringing a co-star to his own Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIhPrcZ-3Rc). Would be nice if The Marvels gets the push to convince more people to see it - Disney already got a 'surprisingly steady in spite of a lackluster opening' this year in Elemental, it's possible.

Can I just say that I didn't find Loki s2 all that? The finale was sure effective, but the fact that the other episode I really liked was the one centered around Victor Timely shows that those complicated time mechanics aren't as enthralling as character-centric writing. At least it surpassed the low bar of Secret Invasion for best season of the year, no matter if I preferred season 1.

And The Marvels was a fun one, even if I laughed at how the villain's plot reminded me a lot of Spaceballs. Won't win those going in wanting to hate the movie. Otherwise the main trio worked well and nothing was underwhelming, and the brief appearances of Valkyrie, Kate Bishop and that mid-credits scene were good reminders of the MCU at large!

They always had it, and at times it was natural (Tony Stark says that after months in captivity he wants a burger, arrives at the press conference with a Whopper) or hard to notice (many Audis in the first movies). The only blatant one I remember now is in Iron Man 3, where Tony pushes aside the fanboy cameraman to make sure an Oracle logo is very visible...

And good to see that I wasn't the only one underwhelmed by Loki's latest, those new time mechanics are way too complicated.

While reading the Vulture article that criticized\exposed RT, seems that ever since Fandango purchased them, the pool of critics increased in a way that gathered more absolute nobodies who self-publish their reviews (which are the kind of guys who accept being bribed to give good scores).

The Kid is not that bad - if anything, preferred it to when Netflix remade the movie as The Adam Project. The X-Men movies are uneven but definitely worth a watch.

And since Secret Invasion possibly was the end of this character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGhz5o2cWKc
