    Phase Four Thus Far

    Black Widow - 3
    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - 3.5
    Eternals - 3.5
    Spider-Man: No Way Home - 7.5
    WandaVision - 4.5
    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - 3
    Loki - 6.5
    What If...? - 4.5
    Hawkeye - 2
    Moon Knight - 6.5
    Some of the shows feel like rejected film ideas that got reconceptualized as prologue chapters for higher priority movies and shows.

    Zack Snyder's Justice League - 8.5
    The Suicide Squad - 7
    Peacemaker - 8.5
    The DCEU trounced Marvel Studios on their first try. I do, I do wanna taste it!

    The Batman - 8

    Favorite track from Ghostlight: Probably Firedancer or Heroes and Villains

    Severance - 9

    I saw a De-Marvelized fanedit of the first Captain America which made it truly one of the best in the series, and I think lots of the movies and shows released in Phase Four could be pretty good after the irony poison and shared universe elements are cut out. Not as good as a good DC movie, but ya know, good.

      Editing … I think I'm done with movies. Like there may be less than five movies I will see in the rest of my life. There are plenty movies I "kinda wanna see" but I know deep down inside I have no desire to actually sit down and start watching any one of them. I've accepted it now and it's a load off. Patting myself on the back. I mean just imagine what I get to do with that extra time. Great things. Menial things. No matter what though it's going to be way better than watching another stupid effing film.

      Editing … I appreciate Snyder getting his cut considering all of the circumstances surrounding it, but his vision of DC was only ever good as an elseworlds story and he murdered cinematic Superman for a whole decade. I wish they would drop the Flash retcon plan (that includes murdering baby Kal-El, a Snyder-tier decision) and just use The Batman as the new cornerstone while preserving the James Gunn work and maybe keeping a few other people like Shazam and Jason Momoa.

      Editing … I'm glad The Batman isn't part of a shared universe. Joker too. I do think some of the iconic characters in the DCEU were poorly cast, Superman above all, but Batfleck was never that strong either. Also, I actually thought Shazam was one of the weakest DCEU films, and I don't remember feeling very enthusiastic about Aquaman. As far as solo films go, I still think Wonder Woman was best. It had the most sincerity.

      Editing … p.s. I liked Captain America or so I told myself. But I barely had desire to watch any Cap'n films beyond that. Same with Iron Man, I saw 1 and 2 which were ok but then I needed to see 3 and then Avengers and so on. But just they keep making more! Stop it, MCU! Just stawp!

      Editing … I don't dislike phase four as much as you but it has been really weak. They're really trying to push these non-primary characters and it's not working. Also the multiverse is ruining a lot. When anything can happen nothing matters anymore. Forgot the Sony shit show....Venom and Morbius.

      Editing … I actually like most of phase 4. I never cared about Iron Man, the David Michelinie run sucks as well as the Warren Ellis run, and he only had one good movie. I always liked the weirder characters like Doctor Strange and Silver Surfer, and we're starting to finally get weird the way superheroes deserve to be. Phase Four and beyond is getting to the characters I actually care about, including a Spider-Man college trilogy after No Way Home fixed the character after his horrible introduction. Shang-Chi, No Way Home, WandaVison, and Moon Knight were the standouts for me (haven't seen MoM yet) and are among my favorite things the MCU has done alongside GOTG 1/2 and Thor: Ragnarok.

      Editing … How embarrassing. So soon after I said I'm done with movies, I ended up watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) because I saw it was free with ads on youtube. Not only that.. I actually liked it. The hell is wrong with me?? Anyway, I can actually see myself watching another movie next. Youtube has a huge selection, although, nothing else really leaps out at me. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHPTxTxtC0ibVZrT2_WKWUl2SAxsKuKwx ..Hot Shots.. (even though I've never seen Top Gun) ..Man of the Year.. Ip Man.. Emperor... I guess those look ok. EDIT: The Final Master is subbed. I'll watch that. xD

      Editing … Yeah I'm pretty interested in it too. Not because of the name (clever though). Did you know it was originally gonna be a stealth sequel, with no Predator references in its advertisement? That woulda been cool, but surely woulda drawn fewer eyes. I mighta missed it too (though I was following the Blair Witch stealth sequel before it was revealed to be a Blair Witch movie). I think I learned about Skulls (now Prey) when it was *leaked* to be a Predator movie.

      Editing … funny how both the film and the game involve native americans. p.s. I started The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but gave up about 45 minutes in. I liked the side story at the very beginning of the movie about the clock maker. But once the film started to focus on the titular character it started to become a bit tedious.

      Editing … I thought the native american connection was interesting too. Native americans *and* aliens, great coincidence (or is it?). I haven't actually seen Benjamin Button yet.

      Editing … I was going to edit my post, but it's too late I guess. I felt that I went into too many specific details. Maybe not spoilers per se, but I shouldn't do anything to alter other people's experience of the film.

      Editing … I think I've enjoyed the Disney+ series the most. But none of them were fully strong throughout. I don't know, not really trying to defend any of it. The Wandavision homage to sitcoms was kind of fun, I like new Cap being kinda villainous and brutal. Sad to see Hawkeye so low for you, that was one of my favorites even though the villains sucked. Thought Hawkeye, Kate, and Yelena had some great chemistry. Owen Wilson did great in Loki. I never felt like I was very good at expressing why I like films or TV shows. Phase Four just really has no interesting villains and I think you need that for superhero shit. Everyone is written as troubled or causing the problems themselves or whatever... We just need some heinous ass holes to stop.

      Editing … did youtube add some movies? The Mask of Zorro, The Princess Bride. (believe it or not, I actually haven't seen that.) Train to Busan. Beverly Hills Ninja. You Laugh But It's True. oh wait, some of these probably use live horses. Do I still care about that though? =P

      Editing … I'm a hypocrite though, Ricky Bobby had a live cougar in it and I still think that movie was awesome. Poor kitty was probably rotting away in a cage somewhere waiting for someone to make a film that required a cougar for some reason.

      Editing … Hell, how often do movies require a cougar? I wonder if they bought and trained a cougar specifically for that one movie, and had to wait for that to be taken care of before they could start filming.
