Yeah. On the one hand, the writers will be able to write a series finale, but otoh, season 4 will be some kind of "soft reboot." Unless they plan to do a whole season with the Kent family hiking in the wilderness, they'll have to introduce a whole new cast of supporting characters, who we'll barely get to know before the show ends.
Certainly not one of the worst, but I wouldn't call it one of the best, as in top 5 or top 10. When I think about it... I don't even remember as much about Winter Soldier as I do so many of the other MCU movies. I guess I haven't watched it as many times.Wait, wait, wait. You don't think The Winter Soldier is one of the best MCU movies? I thought I knew you, man...
Spoiler :
That's one that I haven't seen since it came out. I do sometimes go back and revisit things I didn't love the first time, as I did with Iron Man 2 a few months ago.
It's not really for the character of Captain Marvel herself, who's kind of bland & really has no character arc to speak of (to quote Poison Ivy from the Harley Quinn animated show: "I hate it when the power was inside me all along!"). Although they did kind of get me with that montage of her getting knocked down & standing back up throughout her life.
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
I recognize that my esteem of Iron Man 2 is not generally shared. Funny, it seems like we all can at least agree that Eternals, and Love & Thunder are in the bottom 5.
A couple things for me that help distinguish the two in my mind... Endgame has the gigantic epic battle at the end of course, but it starts off really slow, with alot of pity-partying and characters feeling sorry for themselves. It also reuses/reimagines a lot of scenes we already saw, sometimes from different angles/perspectives, but its is essentially repeat material. Infinity War has more of a steady stream of action throughout with less of the talking, setup and plot building you get in Endgame... which is ironic, since Infinity War is actually the first part, where you would expect more setup.
What I really like about Infinity War is that it's basically the classic "Hero's Journey" story, only you don't realize 'til the end that it's Thanos's Journey. He overcomes obstacles, grows as a character (sheds his Warrior/General persona, becomes more philosophical), sacrifices ("What did it cost?"), gains new abilities, & uses the new abilities to help overcome the next threat. Until he ultimately accomplishes his goal.
Ooh - this one is much tougher. I'll rank the ones I liked the most / there's a decent chance I'd re-watch them at some point / will never re-watch / didn't see...
But I wouldn't want anyone to think that the show is entirely skippable, just because I couldn't be bothered doing the work to include it in my list. There were seasons of the show I'd probably rank in the Top 10 here, maybe even the Top 5.
