Wow. A Josh list I 100% agree with. It’s a new year miracle!!!

all-time wastes of bale & hawke in this phase. d'onofrio's new kingpin was ass. leung & dafoe mvps though. haven't seen wakanda forever but heard namor was good.

How you cast christian bale and do him like that😳....





Marvel dropped the ball badly with him.😐

Worst segment in anything MCU last year:

The whole Thor dealing with hair-lipped wimpy Zeus scene. Just awful.

"....but Kellyman isn't a great actress...."

Glad to see someone finally say it

With Captain Marvel and Black Widow setting a precedent for Marvel making sort of "prequel" movies, if Robert Downey Jr and Tony Leung were ever willing to reprise their Marvel roles I'd love an Iron Man movie set between Infinity War and Endgame the finally pitted Iron Man against this amazing take on The "Mandarin"

Obviously there would have to be a reason for them not to kill each other in the end (maybe Wenwu actually wins but spares Tony when he finds out he's gonna be a dad, sympathising with him one father to another, and then Tony semi-retires again before the events of Endgame) but I genuinely think it could be really special given how interesting and well rounded Wenwu was as a character.

Also gotta say, I'm a fan of Taika Waititi, and I loved Ragnarok, but Love & Thunder was a pretty big misstep, and Gorr was probably the biggest casualty of that. Merging two already pretty big storylines (Gorr's revenge against the Gods, and Jane Foster's battle with cancer while wielding Mjolnir as the new Thor) along with Thor dealing with the events of Endgame all in one movie was already kinda risky, but then hacking that movie down to under 2 hours was always going to destroy whatever chance they had left of making a good movie.

And Gorr's appearance was pretty unimpressive and I can't help but feel that that's also a story issue; they could've had pre-God-Butcher Gorr look as he did in the movie, but then they should've used the Necrosword (especially with its ties to the symbiotes in the comics) to alter his appearance and make him look as vicious and menacing as he does in the comics similar to how the symbiotes cover their hosts. If they can make Thanos as believable and expressive as they did and still make him somewhat recognisable as Josh Brolin, they definitely could've done the same with Gorr and Christian Bale, and the excuse that they wanted to avoid Voldemort comparisons is just silly.

Flag Smasher is easily the worse comic book movie/show villain in recent memory. I don’t think there’s been anyone that bad since Sharon Stone in Catwoman, and I’d argue even she weren’t that bad. And I don’t only blame the writing, but the actress just plain sucks. She sucked in Solo as well. Not sure what clout she’s got with Disney to be getting these roles but please, no more of her.

Other than that, besides a few more misses like Gorr and the Clandestines from Ms. Marvel, Phase 4 has been pretty top tier for villains. Wanda, Wenwu, and especially Green Goblin and Namor were brilliant!

Flag Smasher was awful

Kingpin,Norman Osborn and Scarlet Witch f*ck the rest.

Gorr was one of the few things in Love and Thunder that worked, for me at least.

Why are Josh’s posticles so dramatic? “Never want to see again” 🙄….

The dude is expert at sounding mediocre 24/7 LMFAO
