Alright, we finally made it to Endgame. The plan is to watch that one on Christmas day. Kids are very excited.
Ant Man & The Wasp: Better than I remembered, I thought the plot was a mess the first time I watched it but I guess it made more sense this time around. Maybe I was drunk, Iono. Anyway, good flick.
Captain Marvel: Kind of the same, better on a rewatch but I liked it much less my first time through. Larsen is doing a weird acting job in this one. The green alien shapeshifters were much more amusing than I remembered. Good performance from the main one. Annette Bening can still get it even though she's like 70 (not fact-checked).
How many times a movie do you have to explain to you kids WTF is going on?
This was well timed, because the time jumping in Endgame was absolutely caused the most "what's going on" questions of the rest of the films combined. The first parts of that movie really drag to a 6 and 8 year old, but the final battle kept them captivated. Biggest flip-out was during the Mjolnir scene in the final battle.
Realized this was the first time that I had really seen Far From Home. It was decentish. Gyllenhaal was enjoyable. Shocking number of former Stark employees willing to risk serious prison time just because they were bitter about losing their jobs.
By "popular" demand, my top 5 hottest women in the MCU (based solely on their roles in the movies, tough break for the alien types, especially Nebula):
HM--Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp (makes me sad to leave Kate from Lost off, but can't do it); Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill (honestly probably prettier than some of the women below but just not sexy), Natalie Portman as Jane Foster (see Maria Hill but even more so), Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter/ Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter--and then the hot aliens, Gamorra Nebula and Mantis
5. Elizabeth Olsen--Scarlett Witch--Shows a pretty nice amount of cleavage. Attractive. 4. Gwyneth Paltrow--Pepper Potts--Always been a Paltrow fan: 3. Jaimie Alexander--Sif--So hot. Barely in these enough to count, but she has to be on here. 2. Tessa Thompson--Valkirye. I love her. Probably too high. Don't care.
1. Scarlett Johansson--Black Widow--Pick your movie except for Infinity War (the bleach blonde isn't a good look)
