Werewolf by Night, a short, B&W TV film. Very good, left me wanting more. Also introduces another Marvel character.
Agreed. I really enjoyed it. Nice change to the normal stuff. The only issue I had was the cinematography. It didn’t feel like they got the feel of a genuine 1930s B&W film. The lighting wasn’t quite right.
from me too - massively retro and very enjoyable. As an aside is Man-Thing a Cthulu? DodgyGeezer said:

I don’t think so. Marvel does have Cthulu type eldritch monsters, but he isn’t one of them. Or wasn’t originally. When I was reading comics regularly he was a man experimenting with a serum that went wrong, and he was merged with a mystical swamp. Over the years they expand and retcon stories, and I think his powers are now multi-dimensional, so maybe you’re right.

Morbius finally out for ‘free’ (OK, you need Sky Movies) today. Really don’t know why it was panned so heavily, I enjoyed it. Some of the casting’s a little iffy - Tyrese Gibson just doesn’t cut it as anything other than a clown figure, and even then it’s more than tiresome in the F&F series - but it’s far from the worst film associated with Marvel.
Rather like with the increasingly excellent Andor series from Star Wars, ignore what you read in the media and make your own mind up. Plus, unlike films these days, it doesn’t go on for hour upon hour so if you don’t like it you’ve only lost little over an hour and a half of your life over it.

I feel alone in having not liked the Black Panther film. The trailer for the next one leaves me cold as well. Think I’ll catch that on Disney plus in 3 months.
I hope Marvel can improve with their next slew of releases. Not a single one of the TV shows landed for me and they have nothing slated next year which looks interesting either.
I’ll try Morbius tonight.

It was average to decent but incredibly over-hyped by the critics. IMO because of social politics. This new one does not exactly look impressive and they seem to be trying to cash in on sentimentality for Chadwick Boseman.I hope Marvel can improve with their next slew of releases.

Marvel comics went to crap a good few years back by getting poltical and that is now feeding through to the current crop of MCU movie productions, likely with the same disastrous results for quality and profits.
There's next to nothing that has impressed since Engame. Even Spiderman No Way Home was merely decent, certainly not deserving of the box office performance. I think it largely scored by being more old-school and less like its increasingly woke contemporaries.

Morbius still not on Disney+, which is a little surprising/annoying.
Think at the moment the only place you can view it 'free' is Sky Movies. It's not yet on Disney+, Netflix, Prime or Paramount (not that it necessarily ever will be on all the others).Emma Corrin (Lady Diana Spencer in The Crown) has been cast as the villain character in Deadpool 3. No mention yet of which MCU villain.

For anyone interested in the MCU, this is worth a watch. Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau (who I refer to as the midwife of the MCU) talking about the making of the first Iron Man.

I thought Endgame was the best superhero movie ever... But if I'm honest...other than the animated spiderverse films, they've all been so bad, that I'm happy to see them all killed off.
Don't watch episode 4 of Loki then 
Went to see The Marvels last night. I picked 9pm on the Monday after the opening weekend to avoid the crowds. As it turned out, there was one other person in the screening. ONE.
As for the film itself, it’s not good. I could pick it apart very easily. The funny thing is, I really enjoyed myself. It was the superhero equivalent of a cheesy horror film.
There is an utterly bizarre, surreal scene played out to an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical number. All I could do was shake my head and laugh.
It was all very silly, and I’m going to class it as a guilty pleasure.
The highlight of the film however was the mid-credit scene. I audibly gasped when Kelsey Grammer appeared on screen. As of now the Fox produced, X-Men films are officially a parallel universe in the MCU.
