Well I toddled up to the iMax today before Deadpool 2 bins it off. You really should see films like this at the iMax. I have to leave it to the end and midweek as I can't be mixing it with erm, people. Plus it's a very short walk from the disabled-ey spot on level 3. Had me Tommee Tippee pumping poison into me chest port, that's a first for me to take to the pictures, I preferred the days of popcorn. Had a free cuppa at the Costa as me points had built up to a mega 285. They offered me an improved 'non bitter' version of an Americano for another 20p or points, large, proper milk, nee skinny muck here. They didn't tell me the old version was f***ing bitter last time I'm fairly sure.

Now I am old school superhero stuff, collected and read it all 40 years ago. Preferred Marvel, particularly Spiderman and his shit on at being a teenager and not being an arsehole, in my young eyes anyway, while superheroing, just making jokes and whatnot. Iron Man was just rich bloke, nee proper powers, Batman with a porn tash. DC never bothered with such things as teenage angst, just bish, bash, bosh but had the better artwork.

So the bloody thing flew over, some canny moments, very impressive. I just switch off reality, joined the superhero world again, I know whose powers are what and was mint at Top Trumps back in the day, Thor was a good card, strength 9, up there with Hulk but better at the other bits like Special Weapons. and he is the best one in the film for me, f***ing nails with a big weapon, what's not to like? not just for the ladies that lad. If I was one it would have to be him. This Captain America in charge stuff gets on me tits and the turning hipster look? Otherwise I don't really listen to them banging on about this and that, just get on with the fighting, like I don't really listen to song lyrics. Even an ex girlfriend told me that Joanie was dead in 'Hello This is Joanie' back in the day - I thought it was just a catchy ditty.

Thought I was watching a wrinkly chinned Voldemort gathering Horcruxes for a minute, especially when the Red Skull turned up as a Death-eater. Fuck is that a spoiler?

And by the way, Phil calling someone a miserable fucker bless him. Irony Top Trumps' score 9 right there...

Read that Tom Holland had ad libed his death scene, Directors were so impressed with it that they decided to leave it in.

Wonder whether this and Avengers 4 will be ‘peak Marvel’. They can’t realistically go any higher in terms of numbers.

You could be right.

Saying that we have at least 10 years more of MCU in the works, possibly 20.

Owld fuckers that don't watch it will be dying, people who watched them as bairns will grow up and take their kids.

I can understand superhero fatigue, there's certainly too much about to watch it all. The MCU seems like it could keep on going, and growing, though.
 
Could well bust thru the £2bn barrier and replace The force awakens as the 3rd highest grossing flick of all time

Don’t know about that like - at its current rate it’ll only need another fortnight to get there. Obviously there’s diminishing returns and all that but it doesn’t seem to be slowing down too much.

Deserves to imo. Says a lot about humanity if the force awakens makes more than this. Must admit though IW doesn’t seem to have had much of an advertising budget. Haven’t seen one advert on tv for it.

Funny thing is though in my head Marvel is still a culty little thing hardly anyone's into. :lol:
..maybe it's cos when I was a kid none of my mates were into the comics and collecting them was a pretty solitary pursuit
