I'll admit to being a huge fan of Infinity Saga era MCU movies. They're big, dumb fun, but at the thoughtful, character-driven end of big, dumb fun. Berries and yoghurt, rather than pure cotton candy.
An example, when Spiderman bested Vulture, I wasn't 100% sure I was on Peter's side, and I *liked* that moral ambiguity. A superhero movie can never be "realistic", but things like that can make them *convincing* and that's important in a good story.

Anyway, the reason I mention this is that a few weeks ago I finally got around to downloading the latest Fantastic Four movie. I still haven't got around to watching it, and to be brutally honest, I don't know if I can be bothered.
A new MCU movie used to something I'd look forward to, going to a cinema with friends as soon as it came out. Now it feels like homework I didn't get around to doing, and I'm wondering if it's still worth bothering with. Which makes me a little sad : (

What a turn up for the books. A few days ago I was bemoaning my lack of interest in watching First Steps, given that I was a total junkie for the Infinity Saga. I'm having a rest day today, and a bit of mental candyfloss seemed about my speed, so I finally put First Steps on, and I loved it. What a return to form.
A few reactions;
"Hold your loved ones close, and speak the words you've been afraid to speak. Use this time to rejoice and celebrate, for your time is short." The Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four: First Steps, 2025 I always wonder whether lines like this come from the original comics. #movies #MovieQuotes #Marvel #MCU
