Watched the most recent Fantastic Four this weekend. Pretty good. It was nice that there were no major crossovers or cameos, it was just a old fashioned standalone story.

Still feeling the superhero fatigue though, no hype for even more Spidey or Avengers.
 
I think we're in phase six or seven now. I don't know phases.

Ryan Gosling to join Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ghost Rider

During a surprise announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, the actor says the character is one he has "wanted to play for a very long time".

Getting closer to Mephisto. Also didn't we have a Ghost Rider in AoS (and wasn't Coulson briefly a Ghost Rider too)?
 
I hope he does the Nicholas Cage thing and wear the make up at all times to get into character.

I'm not sure what getting closer to Mephisto means since we already have an MCU Mephisto.

Peter Fonda/Ciaran Hinds? Or has there been something in the additional homework/reading I've stopped doing since ploughing through four episodes of Secret Invasion (I only got to the end through Pitch Meeting) and wishing it was me at the bottom of the ravine on Vormir instead of Nat - only for The Marvels to just about entirely ignore it.


To be honest I'm only in for the next Avengers film to see how they swerve the whole Kang thing. I'm hoping for them to go full BTTF2/Crispin Glover on it and have a quickly killed guy in a rubber Majors mask. And whatever nonsense they're going to spin for Tony Doom.

AoS never really existed, it was all in our collective imagination.

Part of why I stopped with the TV shows as it seems they can just be wiped away at a whim and whatever time went into enjoying it just turns out to go nowhere rather than being involved in the general narrative.

I mean, Secret Invasion deserved it, and AOS really did go on a season too long (not sure I reached the end of the time travelling invisible jet series), and She-Hulk had that really ill-advised final meta-episode, and let's not even talk about Netflix Defenders (although even Finn Jones is coming back somehow, despite «everything»; I mean I liked it more than most did, but he went real method in being a brat), and I guess not all threads can have a payoff (or be the payoff), but I started to find more and more of them were a plod through 6-8hr of what often could have been a 2hr film. Even my favourites like WandaVision felt stretched at times. I should probably have stopped after CA&WS, given how it wasted the premise, but I like both characters and both actors. The AI titles of SI should have warned me off too.


Apparently Mephisto was in Ironheart which I didn't even realise was out. Mind you I don't subscribe to any streaming services either, so there's that.

It's just Spider-Man and ensemble Avengering for morbid curiousity for me now. Maybe VisionQuest, as I liked WV and AAA. I doubt there'll be a Loki S3.
 
I’m not feeling the Spidey hype this time. Don’t see how it could beat the greatest hits collection from the last film.
