Yep absolutely lived up to the hype. I'd be shocked it isn't getting more attention but well, it's been a huge couple weeks for movies I guess.

I absolutely love the kind of post-ironic style of comedy on display here. The movie will make a joke during a serious moment to deflate it, but then once the joke is an established part of the story it will then turn around and expect you to take it sincerely during legitimately dramatic moments. I eat that shit up, it just works. I was both surprised and not surprised to see the Russo brothers were involved here, but it makes a lot of sense. I saw people comparing it to the MCU but it's very post-MCU too: for all its success the MCU still frequently gets afraid of committing to the bit for stuff that's way less weird.
