No worries. I always knew frogs and caffeine don't go well together. 😉

@skywake I think I've changed my score a little, It's now a 5/10 instead of a 3/10. That's 5 point's above The Eternals and 3 points above Moon Knight.

Anyhow I watched the Bounty this morning. The crew of an English trade ship, the titular "Bounty", after experiencing a veritable paradise in Tahiti followed by the increasing demands of their overbearing captain decide to mutiny.

It's much more of a slow burn than I typically watch (different thematically as well), but I thought was pretty interesting (and based on the end film text wall, based on a true story?). More of a character drama and features a young Mel Gibson & Niam Leeson~. Also, even given the era's more lax ratings, I have no idea how this got away with a straight PG rating (I don't think I've ever seen so many boobs in a film), not that it's a bad thing.

Damn, you must really hate Moon Knight. I thought it was pretty good, and probably my favorite Marvel series as of now (I haven't seen Ms. Marvel yet).

But yeah Eternals was BAD. The pacing was horrible, the plot took too long to form, and I think the people who made the trailer knew more about making the movie good than the actual producers, writers, and director. It's clear that the actors are talented, but sadly they were forced to work with a bad script. A mega disappointment compared to Shang-Chi, No Way Home, and even Black Widow, which I thought was too little too late.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

@HotGoomba I didn't like Moon Knight (I enjoyed it, it was entertaining it did it's purpose) only because the plot was a little everywhere (like his mind I know). At the end it felt like he took a small step.

Not a BAD show just kinda left me confused and having to look online for answers.

By the way I've seen every MCU film and show, I'm currently watching Ms. Marvel that is my favorite MCU show they have made (as of now). I think after Ms. Marvel I will take a break with superhero film and TV.

I know it's a little off topic (not being a movie & all), but I thought Moon Knight was the weakest D+ MCU series so far.

While it was neat at first, it seemed like they all too often used the "blackouts" as a way to skip out on action, heck, they even used one to skip over showing how he got the upper hand on the big bad.

I have nothing against making Layla a super hero, but with how personal the grudge was with Ammit, I'm kinda disappointed that she got her powers just in time to make it a 2 vs 1 instead of a one on one grudge match (and if they had to include a scene of a bystander geeking out over an Egyptian Superhero, they should have at least made them geek out over the actual titular Egyptian superhero, instead of her). They should have revealed her powers at the end/post credits & focused on her in season 2.

It was visually way too dark in spots (I couldn't see what was going on half the time in the episode in the tomb, for example), and more of a pet peeve, I don't like "invisible" entities (outside of ghosts). I know this was done in spots so he wasn't sure if it was real or if he was going crazy (with the invisible jackal in the museum), but the giant Godzilla sized god fight at the end should have absolutely been seen by everyone.

I think my favorite episode was probably episode 5(?). The one where we went back into his backstory.

I think it was like episode four or five of Moon Knight which expanded more on Steven and Mark, that episode was really great, but everything else about it sucked to me. I would easily rank it as the lowest of the Disney+ shows.

Also talking of a post Endgame world, honestly, I feel like I have been eating pretty well. I really enjoyed the Falcon and Hawkeye Disney+ shows, I thought Shang-Chi was a blast and No Way Home one of the MCU's best. I am also really coming around on Ms. Marvel too, after the latest episode.

I just think it's easy to become jaded because the MCU is so oversaturated at this point, with so many middling TV shows and movies wearing you out between the highspots. I guess they feel they have to keep pumping it out at this pace for the engagement or whatever, but I think it'll hurt them in the end.

Also @Kermit1 no hard feelings on the horror thing, sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with some horror fans! I usually find they are lovely people but I guess I have just been lucky!!

@Pizzamorg some horror fans are 100% lovely like any film fan, my few interactions with for lack of a better word """horror snubs""" have been not so good. Every one is different with what they like to watch and play, it's also a good thing to have friendly disagreements so you don't drown in what I say and like is the best.

I feel superhero'ed out right now.

It's not just horror fanatics.
Every fandom has rotten apples among them, just look at the Star Wars fandom for instance.

Ok this might be a little controversial, but all of Wandavision was great (excluding episode 4) until the last episode, but that last episode was really bad. The only part of it I actually liked was the two visions communicating. Also, the secondary villain SUCKS. He's predictable, uninteresting, and just feels too much like other villains.

I'd give Wandavision a 7.5/10. The highs are really high. The lows are really, really low. But I loved the creativeness of the show, even if it was all thrown out the window in the final episode.

I'll cry about more Marvel shows later.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

Last time I have watched Alladin 2019 movie for 4 times at my local cinema during year 2019.
It was really good Disney live action movie with Will Smith as Genie.
Too bad, he got penalty from Grammy Award for 10 years not allowed to attend Award after he slapped Chris Rock. 😕

Art house fans are the worst in my opinion. God I watched some tripe during my film studies days and everyone would pretend they watched something profound for fear of being isolated.

Wandavision is pretty low on my list too. I still think Moon Knight was worse, but depending on the day you ask me I'd probably rank Wandavision and What If..? Only slightly above it and those two shows are pretty much interchangeable when it comes to a ranking.

Never seen it, but with almost every Disney Live-Action remake being awful, ESPECIALLY The Lion King (I heard Mulan was worse actually), I don't think I'll ever watch the Avatar sequel with Will Smith Aladdin 2019.

@HotGoomba Mulan was absolutely horrendous. I haven't seen Aladdin but I heard it was ok. Lion King is pretty universally hated too I think. I'm talking about the live actions ofc

Cinderella 2015 (Lily James), Beauty & the Beast (Emms Watson) and Aladdin 2019 are pretty good Disney Live action movies in my opinion.
The Lion King was boring for being too similar as the cartoon version.
Mulan 2020 was terrible from what I saw from YouTube.

Not Disney movies but Dora the explorer live action movie was really bad and cringey.
I put a facepalm when Dora started to sing toilet song and digging a hole for poo. 🤦‍♂️
