Disney-Fox acquisition date set for 3/20/2019.

March 20, 2019. That’s the day Disney takes possession of Fox. Which means that there’s still a faint, hopeless chance that they will go with my idea for the last Avengers: Endgame Easter egg:

So, I know what the end-of-movie Easter Egg for Avengers 4 should be.

My mini-review of Captain Marvel.

Short version: it was fine. Not Winter Soldier fine, but I wasn’t expecting that. I expected popcorn movie, and I got popcorn movie.

The Captain Marvel official website.

Sweet God in Heaven, but the Captain Marvel official website. I refuse to spoil it for you. I merely note that it is, well, perfect. And heartening, because I’ve noticed that when the MCU gets the little things right, it’s often accompanied by them getting the big things right, too. Will this be one of those times? Well, they’ve done it before.

A lot.

Tweet of the Day, Avengers: Endgame Should Absolutely Have A Pee Break edition.

Straight up.

Rumor has it Marvel is considering an intermission for AVENGERS: ENDGAME as it is currently clocking at three hours.

Bring it on. I love intermissions. Makes the movies that have them feel very epic. Besides, a pee break would be nice.

New Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot drops.

Time to analyze it to a fare-thee-well!

Doctor Strange 2, Black Panther 2 proceeding apace.

Shocking, no? They’ve got a director for Doctor Strange 2 (C. Robert Cargill) and dropping heavy hints that they figured out a way for Killmonger to show up for Black Panther 2. Before anybody freaks out about that, here’s SyFy’s observation:

Oscar Watch (first, last, and only): Black Panther gets Best Picture nomination.

Surprisingly presumably nobody, Black Panther got nominated for Best Picture. One of seven Oscar nominations (the rest being tech stuff); you can see all the other nominations here, but honestly it’s going to be this and who wins Best Animated Picture* that I expect most people reading this site will care about. If I had to guess: if Black Panther doesn’t win then BlacKkKlansman will. I heard that that movie was actually good, too. You can’t always count on that happening.

HERE WE GO: Spider-man: Far From Home trailer drops.

I don’t know what the fuss was over this, honestly.

Doctor Doom movie dead. At Fox.

At least, that’s the word: “…Fox has been developing films for Gambit, X-Force, and Doctor Doom for quite awhile, but according to a recent report… those movies are all dead thanks to the upcoming Fox and Disney merger.” ‘Recent report’ being a tweet, but OK. It’s 2019, that’s how this stuff goes now. Continue reading Doctor Doom movie dead. At Fox.

The ‘Huh. I missed this Captain Marvel trailer’ trailer.

This is actually all right. Cocky, powerful, foreshadowing that she’s going to overreach and then have to learn some humility; they’re more or less ripping off Thor here, but that’s OK. The real worry for me, honestly, was that they’d Mary-Sue Captain Marvel right from the start and then things would get tedious in Endgame. If they’re going to instead use this movie to make her get her head on a swivel then that’ll do. Continue reading The ‘Huh. I missed this Captain Marvel trailer’ trailer.
