Captain Marvel was giving out Thor vibes almost venturing into the Dark World. It’s most likely waiting for the big summer blockbuster, Avengers 4: Revengers!!! Looking forward to that.

Overall, what a weird attempt to reform our thinking of Skrulls. They’ve been bad like forever that I don’t know what to think. Damn SJWs! LOL! It’s just a joke as I thought it very interesting to twist us with and understanding that the Skrulls are misunderstood and are really the refugees of the MCU. If Captain America can be fascists, then Skrulls can be good guys. It’s just comics and they always retcon something anyway.

Sorry, this has been a while. I’ve been lazy. More so than most times!

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is the finale of strange trilogy. It started in 2010, had a sequel in 2014, and finishes with this last installment. Amazingly, they allowed the characters to grow up and older –from a teenager to a young man in these films. I don’t know if they were following the 9 year arc, but it still ended up being an interesting way to tell this story.

I have read the manga back when it came in the floppy and reversed comic version available at your local comic shop in the 90s. It was actually titled, “Battle Angel Alita.” It’s been 20 years and it has finally made it onto the screen as Alita: Battle Angel.

At first, I wasn’t going to watch it, but you know what I just had to. I mean twenty years!!

Robert Rodriguez directed this in conjunction with a long gestating James Cameron script. Cameron was attached to this all through the twenty years. He even modeled his television show heroine in Dark Angel as a proto-Alita. Cameron must’ve really loved the manga. Personally, I found it okay, but I was young in the ways of manga reading at the time. Plus, it went into the weeds and the releases were few and far between before I could pass judgement.

A bit of Rodriguez leaked out. It came in the form of some cheesy love bit that felt like it was from Spy Kidz. It felt contrived, but all movies are love stories in the end. But the film redeemed itself by being rather good and not being a bad anime/manga adapation.

I’m hoping for the sequel.

I was curious about this movie, Happy Death Day 2U, because I read a review that said it was interesting. Hopefully, if you read my review, you find the film interesting, and you too will decide to watch it. But don’t blame me, if you don’t like it. My reviews are short and don’t cover the film just my reaction to it.

That being said, I went to see this on the first weekend. Then the theatre couldn’t figure out how to put the hard drive into the projector. I was disappointed, so I got my money back.

But I finally caught it the second weekend. It was okay.

The first one was more a thriller than a horror movie. This one was more a science fiction film than a horror movie. They all have some comedy to them. Don’t be surprised that it makes you laugh rather than scared.

I would watch it again — on TBS next year.
