Welp.  I forgot to come back and update this thread lol.  We have been keeping up with Marvel Mondays though...and since the last time I posted we watched Iron Man 2 and Thor.

 

Iron Man 2 remains, to me, one of the weakest of the Marvel entries of this series of movies.  Everything I wrote in the review section back in 2010 still stands for me, only now I really like the current (then: new) Rhody a whole lot more (back then I liked the old one better lol.  Funny how time changes that).  But everything else is still spot-on for me.  So instead of recapping it all here, I'll just say go read the old review if you're curious.

 

Then came the first Thor movie.  I think time has been pretty good to this one.  It's still entertaining and I like seeing Thor go from a super cocky brat to a much wiser and caring person by the end.  What I don't like is the time it takes for his arc to complete.  This entire movie takes place in like 72 hours or something ridiculous like that.  So he goes from super cocky to falling in love with an earth woman to regaining his worthiness in the span of a weekend.  What? This kind of arc should have taken at least a month. Would it have really killed the momentum of the film if it had been obvious that Thor had been living with Jane and friends for a month before Loki sent the destroyer down?  I say no and it would have helped the film a bit.

 

But whatever.  Overall, it's not bad.  I like it.

 

 

 

This week is Avengers.  I've seen this one so many times and it never gets old.

I am so far behind on this topic again lol.  I tend to go weeks without remembering to come talk about the Marvel movies.  Although, to be fair, I have talked about all of them at least once by this point and my opinions on them really haven't changed much.  I still enjoy them all.

 

We did watch The Avengers and Iron Man 3.  Like I said, my opinions on them really haven't changed.  I still really love the first Avengers film and Iron Man 3 has a lot of potential but also a lot of disappointment.  If you really want to know more about them, I'm sure you can just do a search on here for those and you can find what I wrote about them before.

 

Either tonight or tomorrow we will rewatch Thor: The Dark World.  This is one that definitely gets better the more you watch it though it still has a fairly weak villain.

 

Anyway....

I am so far behind on updating this topic.  I wanted to pop in and say that we're finished though.  We've watched all of the films that have been released so far on home release.  That just leaves Black Panther that we haven't watched.  I think we're going to try and go next week to see it (if it's still in theaters).  If not, we'll just wait til it's released digitally next month (it's not that long) since we know that Infinity War is going to be absolutely packed and chaotic for the first few weeks anyway.

 

I need to come in and talk about the various movies that I haven't already written about and I'd like to rank them all..but I'll do that later. lol

Lol we kinda fell through watching them all, although to be honest I went through them all prior to Civil War coming out, so they're fairly recent in my memory. (lol I know that was almost 2 years ago.) 

 

Like you we haven't got to see Black Panther yet, but it'll be out in 2 weeks, so we'll be watching it then. (also I really doubt we'll see Infinity War in during that time, but who knows.) Spoilers likely will hit me before I get to see it, as is the way. (although no one spoiled black panther for me yet.)
