<Come and Get Your Love> - Incredible opening scene, possibly the best of all time. I was recently conversing with my dad about the difference between GotG and the first Suicide Squad movie (which he unfortunately thought was a good movie but I think he's starting to see the light).

The former works perfectly because the soundtrack is part of the story - the reason those classic songs fit in with the cosmic setting is because our protagonist is from earth and carries specific music with him as a form of identity. Whereas SS used popular songs to draw people in even when said songs had literally nothing to do with the movie, and even thematically clashed with the quote unquote plot.

<Vulture Car> - Perfectly chilling and revealed to me just how good of an actor Michael Keaton is. To the point that he retroactively became my favorite live-action Batman actor (not that there's significant competition). It's also one of the few examples of a comic book villain being improved by a real life actor -- Vulture isn't that interesting in the comics imo.

Also this scene is reminiscent of the car scene from Seven, and sure I run the risk of ending up on the cancel list by mentioning Kevin Spacey, but he made an incredible villainous character which in hindsight makes a lot of sense.

<Fake Pietro> - WandaVision was fresh and unique, giving us hope that the following shows would attempt to break the mold in the same way... well that didn't happen. So WandaVision continues to stand on its own above the rest... except for this one problem. Where they introduced the alt version of Pietro just to make a boner joke. I will never not be upset with that move, I get it, and I can't even say I wasn't expecting it to be a red herring, but it just could have been better. And it was a disappointing precedent for events moving forward.

That said, the scene itself was incredible on first viewing. The credits rolling and then Vision saying "nope we ain't done" and then the twist with Fox Quicksilver knocking at the door. Shit was wild. I'll never forget how obsessed we all were with Mephisto at the time. Unfortunately our anticipations always get the best of us and the end result winds up disappointing. Oh well.

• Rating - 6/10 (would be higher if the twist actually led to something substantial)

<America's Ass> - Hmm, I usually don't care for mirror matches. The MCU has too many of them as it is. But it does seem to get better with every iteration, plus Cap is my favorite Marvel hero, so this scene definitely earns some points with me. Plus it helps that Chris Evans does indeed have a nice butt. Just sayin'
