    Is anybody interested in the Phoenix story?
    I doubt that.
    Wow you suck.  I love the x men movies.  The Phoenix story is a great story line too.

    Oh well, I'll nerd out and enjoy it then.

    I did not see the last wolverine movie though, not sure how that fared in the public eye.
    Yeah . "I suck" for making a valid point in regards to that film:

    And loving the X-men movies and being all ready to nerd out, not even knowing about the success of Logan?



    Take a step back son, and please don't tell me I suck again. Thank you.

    Haha.
    You can nerd out and not see all of the movies, things happen and you will suck no matter what, so there.

    I thought this was a pretty spot-on review in Paste of Endgame:

    "Where does one begin? When it comes to Avengers: Endgame, that question is not so much an expression of wanton enthusiasm as a practical challenge in evaluating the destination toward which Kevin Feige and company have been steering story and viewer alike for the past 11 years and 21 films. Though there have been plenty of three-hour-plus movies and even a few 20+ entry movie franchises, there’s really nothing to compare with what Disney and Marvel Studios have pulled off, either in terms of size, quality and consistency of cast (a moment of silence for Edward Norton and Terrence Howard), or in how narrow the chronological window, all things considered, those movies were produced. Though we’ve praised it often, casting remains the cornerstone of the MCU. Whether by pitch-perfect distillations of decades-old comic book characters (Captain American, Thor, Spider-Man) or charisma-fueled reinventions of same (Iron Man, Ant-Man, Star-Lord), the MCU’s batting average in terms of casting is not only practically obscene, it’s a crucial ingredient in ensuring the thematic and emotional payoff (and box office payday) of Endgame. Moviegoers have been living with these actors, as these characters, for over a decade. For many, this version of these characters is the only one they know. This is why the sudden ashification of so many heroes at the end of Infinity War hit even the most cynical comic book veterans right in the feels and left less hardened viewers confused and distraught. It’s also why, as Avengers: Endgame opens (after another swift kick to the stomach just in case we’ve forgotten the toll of that snap), the audience cares about not just what the surviving heroes are going to do, but how they are doing in general. It gives the film an emotional resonance that’s unusual not only in pulpier genre offerings but in films in general. This connection makes the quiet moments as valuable to the viewer as the spectacle, and for all the fireworks in the third act, Avengers: Endgame is very much a film of quiet moments and small yet potent emotional payoffs. Comic book fans know the thrill of following all your favorite characters through a multi-issue storyline that culminates in a “universe at stake” ending. Now, thanks to 21 movies in 11 years and one massive, satisfying three-hour finale, moviegoers do, too."

    You'd have thought Gene would know the movie was titled Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park and not Kiss - Attack of the Phantom.

    Attack of the Phantoms is another name for it and a different cut of the film released in cinemas in Europe, with music from the solo albums included on the soundtrack.

    Yet, Gene might have thought the theatrical released version packed more punch in his pitch than the version shown on TV.

    Point being, the film did also go by that name.

    Perfect casting (says me who has never read the comic). But it should have been Wesley Snipes. But yes, perfect casting.

    Hmm. Cool mix - Marvel and horror. Could be fun. And the director did hell of a good job with The Exorcism of Emily Rose (and his Hellraiser movie).

    Complain about it sucking being in a Marvel movie because your role sucks = "Okey, how about being Thor instead?" 

    Haha. Could be great. Love the title.

    Just finishes season 3 of Jessica Jones.  It was OK...nothing special.  The same overused storyline of "it's not OK to kill people" that we've seen in a bunch of these series.  Prob not the worst thing that these Marvel series are done with netflix...the 13 episodes for each season was just way too much.  Will be interesting to see if any of these series end up on the Disney plus streaming service coming out later this year.  Would love to see more Daredevil especially after how great season 3 was.  And wouldn't mind seeing some more of The Punisher.

    Marvel hands Sony their most profitable Spiderman movie ever...and of course Sony now wants to pull him out of the MCU.

    So in the next movie they're going to act like all the MCU characters don't exist? Or I guess there won't be a 3rd movie.

    I was just thinking the same thing. Apparently there are 2 more Spider Man movies planned with Tom Holland. But they'll just have to ditch the whole Tony Stark / Thanos / Nick Fury arc that made the last one so popular?
    It's not like the last 3 Sony Spider Man movies without Marvel have actually been any good.
