Been a while since I’ve been here, so time to list all my responses to topics: •	About the Oscars: While I agree that the Oscars have problems, and that the majority of modern superhero movies don’t need them (or in DC’s case sans Wonder Woman, don’t deserve them), they still have plenty of impact and overall can help shape a movie’s legacy. Think about it: would Brie Larson have been cast in Captain Marvel or even Kong Skull Island had she not won for Room? •	About Black Panther’s domestic total: I continue to be overwhelmingly impressed with Black Panther’s returns. That total also makes it the highest-grossing superhero film in the US, and critically the film now ranks higher than any other live-action superhero movie in existence, maintaining a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and achieving an 88 on Metacritic. Not to mention, by the end of its run, it probably will have made more money in the US than Justice League made across the entire globe (lol). As for a sequel, I agree with LoveWaffle in that it probably will come out in 2021. •	About the Captain Marvel castings: Very interesting to say the least. What I’m wondering is how they’re going to age down Clark Gregg – that mustache might just help though. Also really hoping they give Ronan more development, given he was the weakest part of Guardians 1 (makes sense though; Lee Pace was in Twilight). The whole Kree thing has to make you wonder how much the Skrulls will factor in, though (I’m assuming Ben Mendelsohn will be playing one, though after Rogue One and Ready Player One I hope he doesn’t get typecast as the villain). Also, I’m pretty sure McKenna Grace will be playing a younger Carol. She’s really on a role – all thanks to Cap and the lesser Spidey director, I suppose. •	About the Fox delays: Again? Yikes. That said, I actually do want those movies to come out, New Mutants to give a different kind of superhero movie, and Dark Phoenix to (hopefully but not likely) clear up Apocalypse’s many mistakes. They have their purpose, so they should come out. Venom and the other Fox ones, on the other hand… •	About the TV Spot: LANGUAGE! •	About the Fantastic Four: This looks like a good sign. Either that, or Cebulski really wants to appease those kinds of fans. Either way, for me, with the fact they’re mutates and the increasing emphasis on the more cosmic and fantastical side of the MCU, I think they (unlike the mutants) can be organically melded into Earth-199999. If the deal goes through, I expect a film from them will also be in 2021, so probably 5-7 movies in if Homecoming 2 is going to be the first movie.
