Covid tried to destroy it but marvel has saved the film industry

[DiamondGooner]

These next four months are going to be great.

Shang-Chi.
The Eternals.
Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Hawkeye.
Ms. Marvel.
Even None Marvel Stuff like : The Book of Boba Fett And Dune

Can't wait for Dune and all the Marvel releases, hopefully they haven't fked Dune up, I'm worried for that one, it looks good visually but if they hollywood the story line then its a no go, the story is what makes Dune special and if it doesn't have that then it doesn't have anything.

The one I won't touch is Venom, the character in the comics was great but Sony didn't do a good job for me, they rarely do, again, no love for the subject material just a chance to earn a buck and it comes across in the end product.

Tickets booked for Shang Chi

. Wow!!!!…What a movie, easily one of the best solo films in the MCU, perfectly embodied Chinese culture, and had some of the best action in a marvel movie ever, my only gripe is that it slows down a bit in the middle and suffers from that MCU formula a lil bit: still a 9/10 though. Onto Ethernals.

Yes I was thinking 8 or 9/10 but settled on 9/10 for the Ta Lo parts giving it that extra jump.

I thought the bits in Ta Lo in particular were my favourite parts of the movie, it was like a Chronicles of Narnia but a Chinese mythological version, the Dragon in particular was pretty spectacular, always wondered what those Chinese dragons and lions would look like if real.

I do agree Feige has to keep an eye on that formula being overly used but it was a great film, Tony Leung (Mandarin), Michelle Yeoh (Shang's Aunt) and Fala Chen (Shangs mum) in particular were amazing actors.

Great movie

Knew nothing about the character and they explained it brilliantly.

No idea how it compares to comics.

Is he really Mandarins son?

Yeah Agreed!!!. I also don’t think it would be a post credit scene this early if it was fin fang foom even tho its the originator for the rings. I personally think it is a beacon from the multiverse. Maybe someone really powerful like Galactus or The Beyonder from another universe. Shang chia mom does says “your universe” in the movie tbh. With Loki series we also already know Kang exists and also Doctor Doom would be a nice MCU villain to do next. Kang for expanding multi-verse Doctor doom because he wants everything gone . Including the multiverse . Maybe even Galactus for space adventures (Silver Surfer, Kree, Skrull, Brood, Shi'ar, Beyonder). Just find a way to bring FF, ASM, Avengers & X-Men to fight together. But it will not shock me if they would just bring back the Fox Versions of them . Since Marvel own them again. Would But funny just to see Chris Evans Human Torch again lol.

No its a character called Fu Man Chu but they won't use him A) because by todays standards he's seen as a racist caricature and B) The Mandarin is very similar but a better character plus it ties in all of Iron man 1 & 3 with Trevor Slatary being the fake Mandarin.

I know of all the characters and I think it was a good decision, Fu Man Chu is like Mandarin but without the powers etc so I think this adaption is better.

Eternals looked dull at first in the teaser but their latest trailer is pretty fire, I think its going to be a good one.

Taxi Driver, is my favourite movie by him . Then Goodfellas and Raging Bull is third place (Fellas is more entertaining, Raging is probably the better movie), but Goodfellas is so funny it takes second place, then After Hours a sentimental favorite, with Last Temptation. Alice would be in the next tranche, with Mean Streets and maybe King. But Out of all the movies I have seen in my life time. NOTHING comes close to Avengers End Game. Maybe secret wars in few years time. Which everything MCU, Sony verse, Fox X-Men, Fox Fantastic Four , multiverse universe collide maybe that might top it.
