Thor: Ragnarok was shown to the press this weekend. Review embargo is in place until Oct 19, but here are some initial reactions:
Totally agree with you about Iron Man 2. I really liked that movie, much better than Iron Man 3.
It is usually always a really good sign when not only is the review embargo set up to be lifted significantly before the release date, but even more so when it gets moved up to that spot. What it shows is the confidence the studio has in the movie. Marvel did the same thing for quite a few of their previous movies that were really good too.

Possible all-female MCU movie at some point????

Any of you other nerds out there cosplay, dress up at all, or simply wear superhero clothing all the time??? I've never gone to the cosplay level, but I do wear superhero stuff constantly. In fact, I'm mostly obsessed with all the underarmor suphero clothing. Right now, I've got the Under Armour Captain America, Iron Man, and Superman shirts. Would buy more if my wife let me. Shoot, I even snuck in buying my wife a Captain America one too, as well as an Iron Man one for my daughter. See below. Feel free to post pictures of yourself.
This one is actually in Vegas at The Mirage Sports Book right after the OU vs ISU win. That is my immediate shocked face right after the end!!!
This is a light jacket I've got that is pretty sweet too:

Question: Has anyone else been to the Marvel's Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N in Vegas before??? I actually went this past week and I thought it was awesome for any other MCU geek out there like me. I really didn't know what to expect, and it ended up exceeding my expectations. How it is set up is pretty sweet and the place is loaded with a ton of the actual props and costumes from the movie. I was in heaven with those. There was also a few really cool computer simulations that were really fun. Anyway, here are a few of my pics from it for anyone interested.
Its worth noting, I ended up touring this place by myself while my wife shopped. These are only a few of the MANY things there too. Lots of other sweet stuff as well. Truthfully, my favorite was this last Captain America Suite from The Avengers. Shoot, that is my least favorite suite of all of his, yet, it was still SWEET to see in person, not to mention Cap is my favorite superhero.
FYI... that hall of armor was the actual one from the movies.

Saw the last few minutes of the Inhumans tonight.
They've got a ways to go. At least half of those minutes were painfully bad. A couple minutes were OK and looked like they had potential, but not enough for me to remind myself next week.
The special effects for the explosion got really, really rough.

new black panther trailer dropped:
I'm refusing to watch it but would love to hear other people's thoughts.

Action overload, couldn't tell a thing.
February release date is usually suspect but if it hits makes no difference.
With Marvel Studios movies, I wouldn't worry even in the slightest about a February release date. For one, that release date was set long before they even started making the movie. Secondly, Marvel has 3 movies coming out next year, so they pretty much have to do an early-year release date to squeeze them all in. And lastly, Marvel knows people will come to see their movies regardless of when they put them, and only a few franchises could say that. In a way, they will have zero competition too during February, which may pan out even better for them. Deadpool ended up capitalizing on the same thing in March when it came out.
I liked it, but it's really hard to dislike an MCU trailer. I would say I'm more hyped up for Ragnarok than this movie, but I'm definitely still excited after watching the trailer. The music adds a lot to the vibe and helps distinguish this from the other MCU films. More footage of Andy Serkis/Klaue in this trailer. Kind of confused by the three antagonists: Killmonger, Klaue, and M'Baku (Man-Ape - but they aren't going to call him that in the MCU). I think that makes sense when you have more "grounded" villains that don't have superpowers, but worried that it muddies the plot. They made it a point to show T'Challa putting on the Black Panther outfit (twice) and that was really interesting how they did that. Way more shots of Wakanda and it looks very impressive.
Interesting. I'm actually more pumped for Black Panther than I am Thor: Ragnorak. I'm probably in the minority though.
I'm going next week to Vegas didn't know this existed definitely going to check it out
Black Panther is going to do gang busters something y'all are missing when it comes to marketing and a Feb release date....Black History Month
I'd highly recommend. I also hardly included pictures of everything that was there. It really is pretty expansive and they say they intend to grow it over time with all the more recent and impending movies. As of now, I'd say it is pretty much only updated through Ant-Man, but that is still pretty impressive. As for picking up tickets, I'd highly recommend you take the extra time to just stop by one of the tix4tonight booth that are scattered throughout Vegas and the strip that sell half price tickets to save some dough verses just buying your tickets there:

This is NOT MCU or even Marvel related, but I thought I'd just throw it here for any fans of superhero shows in general. I've watched Season 1 of "The Tick" lately on Amazon, which is essentially only the first half of Season 1, and really enjoyed it. Truthfully, if you are looking for just a light fun superhero romp in an almost parody type manner, I'd highly recommend. While the story so far isn't anything to write home about quite yet, what makes it fun is the characters and the tone. Peter Serafinowicz is awesome and hilarious as The Tick, Arthur is solid, and maybe my second favorite character is Jack Haley as The Terror. As for the tone, it is almost hard to describe, because there is nothing really like it out there, which is what makes it so refreshing. However, if I had to describe it, I'd almost call it a superhero parody that is both fun and serious when it needs to be, with kind of the look and feel of The Incredibles in live action.
Anyway, if you are looking for something lighter to mix in with your superhero mix of movies and TV shows, I'd highly recommend checking The Tick out. You likely aren't going to walk away ranking it as one of the best superhero shows ever, but I can pretty much promise you you'll at least have a decent amount of fun watching it. The nice thing is that it really is NOT HARD to do either as there is only 6 episodes out so far and episodes are like a whopping 24 minutes each. Commitment level is LOW. Shoot, you could hammer everything out in a weekend easy if you wanted, much less maybe even one sitting.

I'm way behind the 8-ball on this, but finally delving into The Defenders. So far, I'm halfway through, so 4 episodes down and 4 to go. Truthfully, for all the talk of mixed reviews, I'm actually really digging the series so far. Sure, the first 2 episodes came at a bit of a snail pace, but I really liked episodes 3 and 4, particularly how they have tied the villain, all the separate series, and all the separate characters together in a fairly natural manner. In fact, I really like what they are doing so far with Sigourney Weaver and The Hand. Shoot, I'll even say they are partially redeeming Iron Fist so far. Sure, he still has some reverting-back terrible moments, but at least they are mixed in with some border-line decent ones. He still isn't fully redeemed, but at least he I can somewhat stand him now.
