MCU’s Biggest Problem

It is time for the MCU to get rid of the Sokovia Accords. NOW. Ever since its debut in “Captain America: Civil War”, it has done squat for the franchise. Writers for the franchise have either mishandled this narrative device in movies and television shows like “Civil War”, “Ant-Man & the Wasp” and “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” with sloppy or implausible writing; or have completely ignored it. Worse, moviegoers are still expected to believe that an accord is a law (it’s not). I get the feeling that Kevin Feige, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and the writers for “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and other MCU projects do not know the definition of “accord”. Also, Feige and his writers, along with Mutant Enemy and its writers have failed to grasp that the Sokovia Accords is basically a violation of the U.S. Constitution, something I had immediately knew six years ago. Are fans of the MCU really expected to believe that it is okay for any government to strictly monitor, harass or imprison people from a certain group, due to the actions of a handful of individuals from that particular group? Isn’t that a form of bigotry? Are you telling me that Kevin Feige, Marvel Films, Disney Studios and the Mutant Enemy production company are advocates of bigotry after all? If not . . . find a way to finally get rid of the Sokovia Accords.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Adapting C. S. Lewis’ classic novel into a live-action film was a daunting task. It would’ve been impossible a decade ago, but finally, the technology required to make it happen is here. The results have been worth the wait.

Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) are evacuated to the country home of Professor Kirke (Jim Broadbent) to escape the dangers of World War II. While playing hide-and-go-seek, Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe like none other: its doors lead to the realm of Narnia. Inside this land where winter has no end, the cruel White Witch (Tilda Swinton) rules, but her “subjects” know it’s only a matter of time before two daughters of Eve and two sons of Adam, along with the lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) comes to their rescue.

Between the extended version, which runs a mere 5 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, and the one you saw in theaters, I say go with the original. The additional footage doesn’t add much. The most noticeable change are a few quick shots of the White Queen sending harpies into battle (they look decent, but I suspect they were cut because they stand out against the rest of her army). My only other significant criticism (applicable to both versions) is that, at times, the child actors are only so-so. The exception is Skandar Keynes, who brings depth to Edmund - a character that could’ve easily been one-dimensional. You can forgive this flaw in the same way you did in the early Harry Potter films, but it’s worth noting.

This is a great family film. It’s got exciting battle scenes and likable characters both adults and children can relate to. C.S. Lewis’ story could’ve easily been lost in the flurry of special effects, but amid the crazy creatures and exotic locations, the heart and drama that made this story a favorite remain. Surrounding the child actors and amplified by special effects are a great cast of seasoned performers, including James McAvoy, Ray Winstone, Dawn French and Michael Madsen. There was care poured into this picture, and it shows.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has something for everyone. Lovers of fantasy will be impressed by the mythological creatures (which include everything from great-looking centaurs and griffins to hideous monsters at the service of the White Witch). Children will enjoy the whimsical story, the frequent close calls as our heroes dodge danger at every turn, and the character growth. Adults will love Tilda Swinton as the villain, who always remains the most imposing and frightening figure on-screen. They’ll also admire the handling of this sophisticated story. It’s a plot complex enough to keep you entertained, but not so much that young audiences won’t be able to keep up.

The Chronicles of Narnia makes me think of The NeverEnding Story; another fantasy adventure that compliments its source material by bringing the visuals to stunning life and preserving what made the story endure. I'll even call it "good for the kids" because it takes them seriously. There are intense moments that allows for a full range of emotions but its tried-and-true themes mean young ones won't be overwhelmed. When you catch it, make sure you stick around for the credits. There’s a scene midway hinting at more to come. (Extended version on DVD, July 21, 2017)

The Gray Man Review

The Gray Man is touted as the most expensive movie that Netflix has produced for an original movie. It is based off of the 2009 book of the same name. This movie has been floating around Hollywood since the 2010’s. At one point Brad Pitt was even supposed to star. So finally The Russo Brothers, still hot off of directing Avengers: Endgame, have brought their talents to the project and got the…

Submission messagefor Merlin and Arthur: merthur (merlin and Arthur from the BBC show merlin

Submission message for Steve and Bucky: Does Stucky count? Steve and Bucky from Captain America

Additional propaganda: I refuse to shut up about this. Merlin is not queerbait!! At no point during the show is there a genuine possibility of Arthur and Merlin to be in a romantic relationship. They are queer coded but they do not create a false impression of their relationship. See Sherlock for good example: they constantly bring it up in the show itself and dangle it in front of the viewers, only to not follow through. The show Merlin does not set them up. There are no offhanded remarks, comments, or jokes that they’re more than friends. There is simply no chance in the show that they will get together. They are queer coded, which is not the same. Coding says: this character displays some traits and characteristics that ___ people may relate to. Baiting says: oh you want these two together? hmm, you wanna see that? wouldn’t that be nifty? what if they talk about it and act like it? aren’t you gonna keep watching to find out if they really do? Then follows up with: SIKE! Wow we got you, of course they’re not together! All of that was meaningless! Let’s please stop confusing these two entirely separate concepts!

Merthur is just gay I don’t have to explain merthur on the merthur site. They’re talking to each other at night and giving each other flowers and shit— things Arthur NEVER does with his canon romantic love interest and if I’m not mistaken I think Arthur like goes to sleep for a hundred years and Merlin is like. Still waiting for him? Let them kiss, damn!

Stucky: "Of course, this is still a rollicking adventure tale and no adventure is complete without a love story.....the longest, most tortured one in Marvel history" - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (writers of Captain America movies + Avengers Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame)

"from the meet cute to the tragic separation, their bond has all the elements of a classic romance." - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely

"Just as Jeph and Tim’’s earlier Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray all dealt with the major love interests in, the heroes’ lives, so too does Captain America: White. Steve and Bucky are each other’s soulmate." - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely

“So you have a character in Captain America who is searching for the only thing that he has left from his past that has any meaning to him, and that’s Bucky; and people have interpreted that relationship all kinds of ways and it’s great...we will never define it, as filmmakers, explicitly." - The Russos (Captain America: Civil War press)

"You mean, aside from Cap and Bucky?" - Anthony Russo (co-director of Cap 2 and 3 and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame) when asked about romance in Captain Amierca: Civil War

"Moderator: But you already had a romantic B story with Cap and Bucky, right?

Anthony: We sure do

Joe: We still do

Moderator: Did you ever had to dial down the sexual tension on set?

Joe: Why would we?" - Anthony and Joe Russo (directors of Cap 2 and 3 and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame) at a screening of Captain America: Civil War

Just a few examples directly from Marvel and the writers and directors.

merthur totally should win for so many reasons but mostly. most because the show writer, when advertising the last episode, said it was “a love story between two men” and then arthur just died in merlin’s arms for 42 minutes. on the day before christmas.

I put the first episode of Merlin, because I heard it was such a great show. I knew nothing about the ship at that point. I only put it on because i love shows like that. Before the first episode was over I was like OMG those two are gayer than later seasons Destiel. There is no way it was not intentional. NONE. Big time homoerotic vibes. It was great

I get the coding critique, but I think I disagree with the person who said they never teased a relationship with Merthur. If we’re talking “offhanded jokes that they’re more than friends” (or that other characters thought they were together a la Sherlock), I think the poetry and pants scenes fit that.

What is your opinion of the Russo brothers' writing about Thor?

I'm thinking you mean their "handling" of Thor. Under their direction in Avengers3 and 4, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote him.

I think it was great barring the framing in Avengers4.

In my opinion, Thor in Avengers3 is his best iteration. He's serious, sincere, has a personality and when there is humor, it's not at the expense of his character. He has agency and makes his story happen. And has the biggest power up of his career:

All in freakin' 14 minutes of screen time.

The issue with Avengers4 wasn't how Thor was, but how everyone else was to him. The fact that characters were indifferent (Steve and Natasha) or downright hostile (Rhodey, Barton, Talking Rabbit) to him was a poor reflection on them, not him.

I love that he just collapses and becomes a depressed alcoholic. It's a great exploration of his grief and gives meaning to the trauma he's suffered (something Waititi forgets to do). Where they messed up was instead of framing it sympathetically, they framed it for comedy. Which just isn't cool.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

With the solid foundation established by The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this sequel flourishes. I didn't expect The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian to be as good as first but the characters are richer, the action more intense, and the plot darker. It's just as - maybe even more - engaging than its predecessor.

It’s been a year since Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley) left Narnia for their home of England. When the young Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), calls for them in a desperate moment, they are summoned back to the magical realm, only to find that over 1,200 have passed.

What I like best about Prince Caspian is the way it follows up on the previous story. When we see the Pevensie children in London, they’re bored out of their skulls, wishing they could return to the fantastic world where they grew to adulthood and ruled benevolently over wild creatures and mythical beasts. When they return, they’re as excited as you are. What has Mr. Tumnus been up to? Has Aslan returned as well? What about… wait, what’s this? Armored men in Narnia? The former residents of a noble kingdom forced to live in a shrinking wilderness? Talk about a crisis! You can’t wait to see Peter and his siblings assemble an army and kick those interlopers outta there.

The stage is set and now we fill it with great characters. While Caspian’s scheming uncle Miraz (Sergio Castellitto) is what he is, everyone else has rich character arcs. Most notably, there’s a rivalry between Peter and Caspian that's both satisfying and logical considering they’re both monarchs from wildly different worlds. The action scenes are rousing because they demand the Narnians overcome their opponents via strategic planning. It all leads to an unexpected mano-y-mano fight that isn’t like the ones we’ve seen before. Both combatants have an advantage and are on relatively even ground. The thing that’ll determine who wins and loses is which one underestimates the other.

Prince Caspian benefits from better special effects than its predecessor. The performances are better - to be fair, the actors have had 3 years to hone their skills. The climax contains everything thrilling about Aslan and his allies’ battle with the White Witch and her minions, and then amps it up by giving us a nail-biting one-on-one battle between Peter and Miraz. The new characters introduced are a joy to watch and, as a sequel, it delivers everything you want to see. I might even like it more than the first – which isn’t a slam against The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, it’s a compliment for how big of a pleasant surprise this film turned out to be. Next up is Voyage of the Dawn Treader and I’m excited to see what it has in store. (On Blu-ray, August 25, 2017)

ok. everyone be so real with me right now. is it worth it to watch that marvel shit for florence pugh… one thing about me i LOVE florence… another thing about me i despise the mcu for multiple reasons chief among them the fact that it makes good people (my friends) act like insane maniacs over two ugly ass white men. i’m sorry. and also there are the misogyny crimes. and also there’s a whole other level of beef i have with christopher markus and stephen mcfeely. but we don’t have to get into all that at this time all you need to know is that they did write one of my favorite movies of all time which is also like a definite top five book to film adaptation to me. and they also took part in some of the worst film writing and adaptation writing i have ever seen in my entire life. EPIC highs and lows. do not ask me about it unless you want to see me morph into a deranged conspiracy theory obsessed hag type beast. anyway. yes or no on black widow and the hailee steinfeld show for florence pugh
