You know, I rewatched Thor 2 after watching Loki Season 1 (and Ragnarok and Infinity War and Endgame) and it was a lot better. I think it helped that I knew what to expect so it wasn’t as boring.

Does that seem quick? I feel like that’s usually when it’s hitting digital.

I absolutely loved Dr Strange 2. If anything, that should have been any example of how the MCU could break from the mold from time to time instead of being the same.

Black Widow on the other hand…

Maybe it’s that you can still download stuff on the PSP store, but you have to buy it from somewhere else like the PS3 or Vita stores. I’ll have to check and get back.

Yeah, I had a lot of PSP games saved on my PS3. That sucked when they got rid of transfers. If I remember right, it blocked save transfers for PS1 games too, which was a huge bonus from back in the day. Play on the road, then continue your game on the PS3.

The digital store might still open. I know you can buy games off the Vita’s store still (but you have to use an older style WIFI that is sometimes relegated to guest WIFI and you have to preload the money from another source).

My only problem with Crisis Core is that there’s so much easily accessible side content, I had to force myself to just stop and finish the story.

But I loved that game, and I wasn’t even a big fan of the original FF7.

Oblivion PSP Prey 2 Final Fantasy Versus XIII

I think the movie got a bad wrap. The pacing was horrible and it needed to be a series. But everything else was good. Every character felt unique with their own motivations (honestly, the movie goes out of its way to emphasize this).

This is disregarding comic accuracy because I haven’t read them (yet).

Anyways, it’s also not surprising that they haven’t appeared elsewhere. They kind of feel like they don’t fit with the greater universe.

My favorite part of the PSP/PS3 era was that they made so many direct ports of PS1 games on the digital store. So I got to experience a lot of old games I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise for dirt cheap.

Plus I could take them on the go and swap my save files easily with my PSP.

It’s a fun show and he’s no longer involved. Seems like a good reason to watch it to me.

Wait, is that why he was fired? They didn’t announce it for the longest time. I didn’t know the reason finally came out.

Kind of like Spider-Man, everyone was essentially an extreme version of their best known personality traits. Very one-dimensional, but otherwise really good.

The new one is a lot more subtle about it, which I appreciate. But that’s not how superhero movies were back then.

I watched both and liked both as lot. Fantastic Four is probably the better movie. It’s more polished, more visually impressive, better story, etc. But I enjoyed Superman more.

Finally, a real teaser.

I really hope this suit doesn’t end up looking as shiny as it did at the end of NWH.

Inside Out absolutely deserves a spot. It’s my favorite Disney (+Pixar) movie and also in my top 10, and I grew up on the '90s Disney movies.

Speaking of, if there were 2 Disney movies I’d put on the list, it would probably be Inside Out and The Lion King.

As a Marvel fan, I don’t think it’s been overhyped. But I have thought some former movies were overhyped.

I do think it’s even better if you’re familiar with the characters though.

I’m not sure if I missed it somewhere in your writeup. But there’s also Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, the multiplayer co-op game.

It’s weird, Black Panther doesn’t scratch my top 5 MCU movies. It wasn’t even the best black lead superhero movie of the same year. Into the Spider-Verse is probably in my top 10 movies.

But BP was undoubtedly one of the more culturally impactful movies in the MCU.

But then again, Deadpool 1 and 2 are great movies that have been culturally impactful. But critics don’t want to admit that.

Marvel does own merch rights. But Spider-Man movies are always profitable. Even Amazing Spider-Man 2 was. It’s free money.

However the spin-offs, outside of Venom, have been break-even at best.

I loved his movies. FFH wasn’t as good, it felt a bit more slapstick with him fumbling around a lot. They toned down Mysterio to make him more palatable which is a shame. But otherwise they nailed the essence of him. I’m excited to see him come back through his crew.

Him specifically, he’s fine for what they’re doing with his iteration. I still would rather Garfield’s just be incorporated into the MCU. Holland’s feels too nice to be as snarky as Garfield’s. I don’t think it’s Holland’s fault, they just wanted him chatty and naive. Plus Garfield was already self-reliant.

But if they had gone down that route with Holland, I think he could have nailed it even better since it would be more unexpected. Garfield’s Spider-Man wore his anger on his sleeves.

They could easily do jokester/mocking with Holland now that he’s in the thick of superheroing.
