there won't be much bc dear god body is still betraying me and I desperately want to rest

tomorrow hopefully I'll get into it more

but I'll have to see it again bc--I dipped out to take care of body betrayal the second bucky came on screen lol

I'M GLAD Y'ALL HAD THAT BUT I knew this was gonna be the calm before the storm so that was my chance

dipped back in right as the press conference was going wrong lol my timing

no mid credits, the post credits is a real nothingburger

but it at least acknowledges the multiverse a lil more. not in any interesting way but. it's there

alas the cherry blossom fight did have as bad a time with the cgi as the trailers suggested

(my body still is kicking my ENTIRE ass but I guess I've decided I'm up-up atm)

it wants to fashion itself as complex but it's really not. it's very: the moral of the story is to fucking tell people shit and grow as a person, numbnuts

but I didn't dislike it! I hooted for betty showing up, like you knew she WOULD but it was still like AW YEAH AFTER ALL THIS TIME

I actually had a really bad time during this movie, lmfao.....

I also hooted at adamantium like holy shit we're doing it

The breakneck pacing of the scenes and the constant ominous thriller-like score that played in just about every scene triggered my anxiety. I started feeling really unsettled about halfway in and considered leaving.

and this has never happened to me during a movie, before.

and in SPITE of the fact that the gd celestial out in the indian ocean is a Big Deal, I STILL don't feel like anyone has to see eternals. I don't feel like I do anyway. cuz I already knew about the celestial in the ocean lol

I kinda dug the score but it did go a little too hard at times. might have to sit down with the ost sometime

I'm actually kinda surprised eli wasn't in it at all. like we gotta do patriot at some point c'MON. but also boy the movie was packed with older plot threads as it was

me sitting here watching ross in the raft like HOPE YOU PICKED A GOOD VP BUDDY..........

lmfao yeah, who's taking over as president now?

Also did Ross get rid of that 'declare war on all aliens' decree that the previous president put out in The Series We'd Like To Retcon?

I FEEL LIKE

THIS MOVIE IS ALSO OPERATING AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT ON we're not talking about that

lmfao

Everyone just like 'what previous president, we never had one, nothing to see there'

I did enjoy slapping the stache on ford for the flashback

RIGHT?

I choked out loud

also like. honestly? I really thought he was gonna phone it in. but I actually enjoyed how he played the character

thought he put a surprising amount of actual emotion into things and wasn't just Harrison Ford Needs A Big Paycheck

Also I'm laughing at how Bucky's role in this movie was basically the grandma in Moana 2. Just shows up real quick to go "remember who you are. Remember why the ocean- I mean Steve chose you. Anyway, gotta go, bye I love you"

lolll I missed it bc body betrayal but when he showed up I was like OKAY I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS SCENE IS GONNA BE

It was exactly that

'Remember what we established in Falcon and the Winter Soldier? I'm here to repeat that lesson in three sentences and foreshadow Thunderbolts*'

Sebastian Stan walking out with his easily-earned, well-deserved paycheck

also me looking up ruth's actress' height and getting several completely different answers

Well, now I'm curious what it is

she's gotta be 4-some I feel

you know something else I appreciate, that we weren't at odds with like. china or russia or korea

and the only reason we were at odds with japan, briefly, was for perfectly understandable reasons, not just 'fuck u I want all of this'
(I mean, ross did want to go there, but for hulk-y reasons)

rolls in here

I also appreciate that the conflict by Celestial Island COULD be resolved by Sam and Torres inserting themselves and buckling down on holding the line.
