Spider-Man: Homecoming - Tony Stark Being a Dad

*From Wikipedia.
Even non-Marvel fans know Spider-Man. Even non-superhero fans know Spider-Man. Heck, I'd be surprised to come across someone who did now have any grain of knowledge about who Spider-Man was.
As we all know, Spider-Man: Homecoming is the third version of this webbed hero to come out on the big screen, Tobey Maguire being the original Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield following with The Amazing Spider-Man, and now Tom Holland for this Sony-Marvel join-up. And, as the fandom and public in general have pointed out, Peter Parker and Aunt May keep getting younger every time.
Beyond being the first time Spider-Man is actually in the MCU, it is also the most realistic in depicting a high-school boy superhero, both in the actors appearance and his life outside of the Spider suit.
Starting with Parker's phone-filmed side of Civil War, Homecoming takes places post-Civil War, Captain America a war criminal and the Sokovia Accords being talked about in the background of one of Parker's classes (nice detail, MCU!). The funny thing is the Captain America videos are used in school despite of this, making a funny little end credit scene about patience.
But Iron Man is the real big Avenger assist, guiding Parker on his path to becoming in Avenger, which he, in the end, turns down. The thing is, after turning them down, he asks if it was a test, the MCU making sure that you understand just how much Parker wants to be an Avenger, checking back with Stark. He is an admirable character, fit to take Cap's place is Cap does die in Endgame - which I'm like 80% sure will happen.
Zendaya's character shows a nice balance between going by what you believe without biting back at others. Their teacher exemplified the understanding teachers in general should have for their students views, and those scenes alone should be shown to everyone, seen in how societal issues are ever present today.
And Vulture. A great villain, all this staring back in the first Avengers film, showing just how all the films are tied up, even beyond the facts you know. As with Civil War, accountability really matters, not just the fight itself.
Ned and Aunt May have great interactions with Parker, showing that yes, Peter Parker is still a kid with a life ahead of him. And Ned is such a fanboy, acting the way anyone in the fandom would if they found out their best friend was a superhero.
Full honesty, you don't necessarily have to watch this for Endgame, but why would you skip out! As we all know, Stan Lee has passed away, and Marvel comics, the source for the MCU, all started with Spider-Man. Sadly, with Endgame approaching, we may no longer see Stan Lee cameos in the MCU. So watch this, if not for the MCU, for Stan Lee, the man who created these characters we all continue to love after his death.

Thor: Ragnarok - AAAA-AH!!!

Image
*Thanks Wikipedia. AAAA-AH! AAAA-AH! Yes, it wasn't a lie, Thor: Ragnarok saved the Thor trilogy, a remake The God of Lightning desperately needed after Thor: The Dark World. It's a must watch for Infinity War, we find out where Hulk, Thor, and the rest of the Asgardians (plus a few others) end up and why it is that we see them all (mostly) dead on the Asgardian ship, at the feet of Thanos. More importantly. Banner talks of a fear of being unable to turn back to himself if he becomes Thor once more. During the ultimate (AAAA-AH!) fight, he changes to help save the Asgardians, and he is in his Hulk form when we last see him. Yet, after being taken down by Thanos and sent back to Earth, we have Bruce Banner once more. Even worse, the Hulk no longer comes out. Why? With all the rumors speculating on what happened to Hulk, including that Banner is actually Loki in disguise, I believe that because of the Hulk, Thor: Ragnarok will yet be heavily important for Endgame. And even ...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Let's Look into Star-Lord's Past

Image
*Image from Wikipedia. Obviously, any fan of the original Guardians of the Galaxy film will enjoy this film. It continues with it's comedic feel, music ever present, though the plot, in my opinion, does not match its predecessor. In terms of Endgame, we are first presented to Mantis here, plus Nebula ends with plans to go after Thanos - we know from Infinity War that she fails, though. The dynamic between Yondu and Rocket was, to me, one of the more interesting aspects of the film, making Yondu's death all the more touching when Rocket, first talking of Yondu, ends up referring to the batteries he himself stole. Plus, the Mary Poppins line is just so great. Gamora starts getting a bit annoying to me in the film, as does Drax, but the ending saves them both. The reason is Gamora's unnecessary coldness towards and Darx's lines sometimes move from funny to... not pleasant and not humorous. Star-Lord's is as he was in the first film, so enjoy him, because we all ...

Avengers: Endgame - What You Definitely Need to Remember (Spoiler Free)

Image
Oh, how I cried. Never have I cried over a movie as much as I have here. Definitely an experience not just MCU fans, but people in general should have. I will not be reviewing Avengers: Endgame yet, as I will be seeing it again soon, and am still processing. Needless to say, my emotions are all in a jumble, I feel as though my heart had been pulled out of my chest and crushed before me, and my hands still hurt from all the clapping I did opening night. It goes without question that Infinity War is critical for this movie, but will repeat it just in case anyone is thinking of watching Endgame without having ever watched Infinity War. Trust me, you'll be thankful. Captain America: Civil War, because that rift between Iron Man and Cap is critical Next, rewatch, or at least keep in mind the first Avengers film, Thor: The Dark World, and Guardians of the Galaxy. They play a critical role. If you can't do all three, watch refresh yourself on the attack of New York in Avengers, ...
