Talkie Tuesday: Black Widow

 

"Your pain only makes you stronger." 

Hello everyone!

Week two of our Marvel catch-up is here and we're back on the grind, but this time it's at least with a character that I've known and loved since pretty much the beginning of MCU.

Listen, I love me Peter Parker, too, but ... maybe not this particular one.

Black Widow, however, was one of those I always wanted more information about.

She was our window into SHIELD besides Coulson, and she was a total badass who managed to keep up with gods and super-soldiers just by being spectacularly trained, skilled and disciplined.

And yes, it helps that Scarlett Johansson pretty much NAILED the role once she was cast.

But having said all that - I'll say this movie suffers. A lot. And it suffers mainly from the incredibly ridiculous decision from the higher-ups, who didn't include this one in the chronological lineup of the Infinity Saga.

Before I get too far into that, though, let's just figure out what's what, shall we? Black Widow, enter, stage right!

Talkie Tuesday: Spider-Man Far From Home

 

"Be ready for anything."

 

Hello everyone!

 

As stated and announced in my weekend post, this month and this Tuesday especially kick off the four week long Marvel catch-up, because ... well, because I haven't been on the ball with the MCU since Endgame.

 

I figured that I could at the very least give it a go since these things all connect to one another, somehow.

 

But of course that presents its own unique challenges along the way as you go, really.

 

See, there are a few movies in the Avengers lineup - what I call the MCU in my head anyway - that I really just can't be bothered with, no matter how hard the directors and cast may try to make their characters appealing.

 

And unfortunately, tonight's choice is one of them, as sad as that may sound.

 

I tried though! I tried my very best to like the movie and enjoy it for what it is, but it turns out that what it is, is ... well, not exactly my cup of tea, regardless.

 

Shake out those web-shooters, everyone. Spider-Man: Far From Home is where we start.

Talkie Tuesday: Avengers Endgame

"Avengers ... assemble."

Hello everyone!

Well, against all odds, I finally made it.

Not that it didn't take me freaking FOREVER.

The thing that happened this time was that I watched three or so Marvel movies in a row and then decided I needed to take a break - then the break turned out to be longer than expected because I just couldn't seem to find the time.

Three hours is a bit much and you need to actually plan to ensure you can get that in one go!

But I did it, and it's all under the belt now. FINALLY.

Of course it's late in comparison to when most people've seen this movie, but at this point it's not something I even worry about anymore.

I'm always late to something or other haha.

Avengers: Endgame was just the current in a long list of my lateness!
