Zeus 04/11/20 4:46:19 AM #225:	Alright, so finished Winter Soldier, which was pretty good. Apparently a lot of the continuity stuff from AoU that I assumed was probably addressed in Agents of SHIELD actually came into play there so, technically speaking, I really should have watched that before AoU (although it mostly just addressed the set-up, especially regarding the post-credits scene). Really liked Widow in this one. I'll admit that Avengers 1 absolutely poisoned the character for me and Joss Whedon's bullshit in Avengers not only had me hating Widow, but it's where my dislike for ScarJo (who I had previously liked starting with the Black Dahlia, although apparently the first thing I saw starring her was Eight-Legged Freaks... and oh shit, just learned she's divorced!) began. Civil War didn't really do anything to change that, although my opinion softened... I guess probably just with AoU? My favorite part of Winter Soldier is probably the surprisingly cool inclusion of Arnim Zola, even if it's a relatively brief moment. That scene was a trip. It also immediately made me interested to see if the character had appeared in Agents of SHIELD -- which I afterward figured he couldn't have without spoiling this -- or Agent Carter. Apparently he was briefly in Agent Carter. In general, Toby Jones is such a weird-looking dude that I'm kinda surprised that he's had as much success as an actor as he has... and that was before seeing his entire list of credits. WTF?! Goddamn, good for him. Granted, most of those are smaller roles, but he has consistent work. All things considered, he first got on my radar from Sherlock -- which was probably my favorite episode -- and then I saw him in Tale of Tales (so-so film) and kept seeing him in shit. Out of the MCU, I'll say that the Captain America films are probably my favorite despite having never been hugely into Captain America. I remember First Avenger being pretty good, I really liked Civil War, and Winter Soldier definitely ranks among the better MCU films. Likewise, I was never a Thor fan (in fact, I kinda disliked him prior to the MCU), but Thor 3 is still probably one of my favorite MCU films (and the only one I've seen twice), Dark World was good, and Thor 1 I realize had a lot to offer. Thor 1 I've come to appreciate a lot more in hindsight. Conversely, I had always liked Iron Man prior to the MCU, but while I liked IM1, IM2 kinda sucked and IM3 I'm a little split on. Revelation34 posted... Just watch one tonight and the other one tomorrow. I don't like doing shit like that any more than I like having to break up watching a movie. Revelation34 posted... Hal Jordan is best Green Lantern. Agree to disagree. Hal I've never been that fond of, although I don't actively dislike him as I do Kyle Rayner. John Stewart I actually like, though, and I've kinda come to enjoy the antics of Guy Gardner. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:937180944] in H1Geek1...
