While it was alright, I actually didn't like yesterday's episode of Ms. Marvel as much as the others. I found the action sequence to be very low-budget TV, poorly edited and poorly shot, which really dragged the episode down. The whole sequence seemed like a ton of people walking really slowly and menacingly towards Kamala the whole time, and when there was action, it was filled with a bunch of disorientating really quick cuts, which is the cheap cop-out way to do action.

I also found the heal-turn of the Djinn family to be a lot too extreme and quick. I mean seriously, you guys have waited decades for a way to get home up until now and suddenly you can't wait a day or two, especially to the effect of being willing to kill for it???? They literally just met the girl and are suddenly doing the most extreme 180 I've ever seen in the span of seemingly a few hours. Maybe build it up a little. Shoot, we had only met this "nice" family for the first time earlier in the exact same episode.

With 6 episodes, they probably couldn't slow play it too much, but you'd figure they would wait at least 1 episode.

I'm enjoying Ms Marvel a lot more than I thought I would. It helps to not set expectations and just go and watch something

Honestly I think since I'm still in Obi Wan mode that's why Star Wars needs to get away from the main canon storyline as soon as possible. Everybody loves Mando, but while he's basically an archetype, it's mostly new places with new people and new stuff and we don't know what's going to happen. I think the MCU shows have suffered from the same thing. Ms. Marvel isn't just way ahead of Hawkeye for example if you ask me. It is better but there is just so much baggage with Hawkeye that you aren't just sitting down with fresh eyes and no expectations and it puts extra weight on the show.

I don't think 6 episodes is enough for an entirely new character. Just trying to cram too much in.

Ok, I fully realize I’m super late to the party here but I FINALLY watched Dr. Strange 2.

Holy. *******. ****.

Someone did some good acid before that writing that thing. Wow….

Can someone explain to me what I just watched?

I think once its out on Disney plus its fair game.

I haven't re-watched it since the theater. Did they correct any of the bad CGI? It had several spots that were pretty cringey.

The Ten Rings reference was a nice touch and adds more intrigue.

Dr Strange questions:

What’s the deal or significance of the third eye at the end?

Was that an eternal that we haven’t met yet in the post credit?

The Illuminati… someone explain to me what that is? I mean I get they are protectors of that reality and now theyre all dead but is there depth to that that I missed or something? That was so random but pretty cool imo.

Overall, I liked the movie. A change of pace for Mavel. Parts were weird as was discussed but overall I thought it was worth my time.

The third eye is a “your guess is as good as mine” thing. It could be something he got from messing with the Darkhold, it could be…something else.

That was another Wizard, one that Strange winds up marrying in the comics.

Not all of the Illuminati are dead. Strange left one down in a ditch—and with an empty chair, one might not have been present in the first place. Some guess Namor.
