It's flawed but it's not Dark World

True, Dark World is better

I Am Groot shorts are interesting I guess. They're different.

Its dumb that theyre not listed episodically tho.

This is my biggest complaint about them lol

Yea same, they should've been together so you could at least autoplay them.

They've been doing this a lot lately, the recent Assembled episodes are the same.

From what I can tell they always have these shorts kind of content just thrown around everywhere, not just their MCU property ones.

Where the fuck is She-Hulk?

Whoop somebody missed the update from the top of the month, pushed to Thursdays

https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/marvel-she-hulk-release-date-change-new-episodes-thursday-disney-plus/

I imagine to avoid Andor crossover like with Ms. Marvel & Kenobi, what with Ms. Marvel bringing the lowest MCU TV ratings.

Fuck for some reason i thought it was Wednesday already and had just rolled over into Thursday.

tonight's the nighttttt

Please be good please be good please be good

38m runtime with credits lets goooooooo

CAPTAIN AMERICA FUUU- (also the A+ "Captain America: Virgin?" graphic in the credits)

lmao

yeah we all knew a lot if not all the Bruce stuff would be here so it's certainly an ep for seeing promo scenes repeated but I still got my lols

Surprised though I don't think we got a reaction of her actually seeing herself as She-Hulk though. Definitely a fun, light-hearted comedy show through and through which lets you just sit back and enjoy what you're getting, and I'm looking forward to next week! Wish we got a 2-ep dump for the first week though since this is a) just the She-Hulk intro and b) largely an extended version of the commercials we got.

... tho now I wanna look back on all the ads we got and see if there's Banner appearances we haven't seen yet.

Love and Thunder got a little too much hate. I would firmly describe it as fine but nothing special. Could have been better for sure.

She-Hulk episode 1 beated

CAPTAIN AMERICA FUCKS

I won't dogpile on the Love and Thunder hate but I finally saw it last week and parts of it made me embarrassed that I was in a theater watching it. I generally liked the Jane stuff though.

At least people can generally talk about Phase 4 Marvel movies in something resembling a civil fashion.

I don't recall anyone outright hating on the movie, most reactions I've seen are all pretty much along the lines of "it was good but could have been better in certain ways."

Haven't seen it myself yet, but I predict I will feel about the same. Mostly just want to see Lady Thor in action. I was already slightly tired of the nonstop jokes of Ragnarok, and goofy Thor disappoints me. He was perfect in Infinity War, I wanted that characterization to stick.

Probably doesn't help it has the 2nd lowest Rotten Tomatoes score for an MCU movie, ahead of only Eternals.

It is both ... for lack of a batter term, woke and uninteresting

It's going to catch flak on both fronts. I think it's solidly mid tier but it's going to get dragged down from angry brie Larson haters

Crazy enough, I don't actually take a Rotten Tomatoes score into account when I'm watching a movie and determining if I enjoy it or not.

Then what do you take into account? Personal enjoyment? Because that's insane to me.

Oh, fuck no. Just Youtube comments and how often Rachel McAdams is on screen.

Don't forget TVtropes, you get a lot of wonderful and useful information from that place.

I've literally never been on that site

How do you determine what you like without someone telling you first?

why does turning into a hulk straighten and lengthen Jens hair

Gamma charged hair is thicker, heavier, and stronger.

hulk hair gets buffed up and becomes heavier than normal hair so it's pulled down straighter and extended

actually my own hair can relate because ever since childhood whenever it's short it curls up but as it grows out it actually does straighten as the weight becomes too much to fluff up

Love and Thunder isnt close to being woke.

Strong female lead teams up to be an equal with her super hero lover in the company of a lesbian woman and a male sounding rock who has relationships with other male sounding rocks

Yeah it is. I think its good movies are moving this way, but Ive seen people complain about it.

bruce has to come back around at some point to address whatever was up with that spaceship, although maybe it wont be until the last episodes post-credit tease

its too weird of an event to not follow up on

Defining it as woke is attempting to define it as unusual. In other words, Plum, you have directly stated that it is unusual for there to be a strong female lead.

Some characters are gay. Some characters are women. If you allow idiots to treat those concepts as especially noteworthy then you'll only encourage their mentality.

It is especially noteworthy. There aren't many movies that are in this genre that have these things. That has nothing to do with if it should be especially noteworthy

for the record Valk's bi

To rephrase, representation is important but the goal of representation is to approach normalcy.

It is important to make a distinction between uncommon and abnormal.

I only mentioned the dang RT score because I was thinking maybe that's why it seems Love and Thunder is "hated".

Not everybody looks at the RT score and decides they should hate the movie based off of that

at the risk of sounding like LMS, i've seen several videos by youtube critics who strongly disliked it. doug walker and jeremy jahns immediately come to mind.

Yeah, I've definitely heard negative backlash against the movie, not just indifference or something like that.

Just finished first episode of She-Hulk. The chemistry between Jen and Bruce was really good, so it makes me sad we aren't going to get much more of it.

there's definitely been a taika waititi backlash/overload.

I don't think it was meant to be a huge twist ending that Captain America isn't a virgin and Jen isn't meant to represent hardcore MCU fans

Jojo Rabbit is great.

And I can't imagine any Marvel show getting worse than the sloppy mess that Ms. Marvel was. That was late stage Arrowverse bad.

WaitMCU Cap has kids? I must have missed that, so Im totally fine with the joke.

I thought it was an amusing first episode. Of course, Ms Marvel started well too

it's okay She-Hulk already has a more interesting villain than anything Ms. Marvel produced and I don't even know anything about her (or the spaceship) yet
