Well, alternate history is my favorite genre. And they’re teasing some fun ones in this, like Spider-Man as the Sorcerer Supreme, and Marvel Zombies. Should be neato.
What If…? drops August 11th.

It’s an interesting question. I saw DOCTOR STRANGE in 3D, because obviously that was gonna be messed up in an entertaining way. But do I really want to see BLACK WIDOW in 3D, or am I just pleased to have the option again? Must ponder this.
Then again, I like the Disney+ MCU shows generally. LOKI in particular is the sort of thing that can only be made when a studio has more money than God and is amusing itself by having Tom Hiddleston sing in Norwegian. Which he does a pretty good job at, mind you.
I know, I know. But the family wants the channel and we’re paying for it, so I might as well enjoy the stuff I like.
…so do I.
It’s good, although some people online were a little surprised by the aesthetic. The aesthetic is VERY 1970s pre-digital bureaucratic, with analog everywhere. Personally, I liked it a lot — but I also associate said aesthetic with things like CONTROL or the SCP Foundation, which means I’m expecting LOKI to dive into cosmic horror pretty quick. Guess we’ll see if I’m right!
There are any number of questions one might ask about how they’re planning to integrate THE ETERNALS into the MCU, but I don’t care because Jack Kirby. That’s their aesthetic, going forward. It’s gonna be a lot of Kirby.
Astoundingly, this may still be a fun movie summer. I mean, starting Sunday the two week clock starts on full immunization for me.
Am I gonna see VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE? Yeah, sure. The first VENOM was fun, if not exactly high cinema. And that’s fine with me. I’ve spent far too much time over the last year and a half being stuck with myself. Time to go just… do and see things. Things I didn’t make.
This rarely ends well.
This doesn’t look half bad. I’m down for a martial arts superhero flick with MCU levels of funding. Won’t be real deep, but it should be able to manage fun.
