Post-Deadpool 3 Marvel, Part 2.
'Member when I said Bob Iger's whittled Marvel down to 2 movies a year?
There's a third 2025 movie that keeps slipping into my blind spot.
So, let's address it.

MCU X-Men stuff.
Kee-rist, there hasn't been any movement on this since my post "The Mutants! (?)" three friggin' years ago.

Another bit of MCU Fantastic Four casting.
The FF casting keeps being the real deal.
Even though some of the roles are being kept hush-hush...for whatever reason.
ANYWAY!

Happy 25th Anniversary, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace!!
From my future self in 9/20/24
Last time-
Boy, that flew by, huh?
A quarter century!!
A baby born when the flick came out likely has their own kids!
Damn!
So where are we now?
Last time, I bitched about the internet howler monkeys; and now, even sites like "Honest Trailers" who used to cater to that crowd are sick of them.
Their "The Acolyte" review mocked how every single Star Wars thing since TPM is "the worst Star Wars ever that's killing the franchise".
Well, if Acolyte is the new worst thing ever, and it's set 20 years before TPM, then it's the new worst prequel.
Chronologically as well as in artistic merit.
Guess it's time to leave poor TPM alone, huh?
No? It doesn't work that way?
Because reasons?
Huh.
Yeah, Generation X just has to fucking die.
People born in '99 or later think the prequels are fine.
Oh, they like TPM least, and "Revenge Of The Sith" best, but no one's all "kill Jar-Jar!! Oh my gaaawwwwdd!! This movie raped meeee!!!!".
We're enough time out to see it really was/is just a Generation X problem.
And really only a screamy minority of my age cohort.
Hey, why don't all you brilliant discriminating sophisticates read Neil Gaiman and Ursula Le Guin?
No? Huh.
It was never about real criticism, and wanting things that are good, and more about tribal approval.
"Loudest monkey in the room" shit.
I called it then, but there's no wiggle room now.
The worm has finally turned on internet drama queens.
....I hope.
There's a pile of Star Wars flicks in development, but none of them really excite me.
And just like the prequels, I'll believe in them when I see them.
I'm not gonna stare at the calendar and the clock like with "Freddy vs Jason" ever again.
Nope.
Maybe I was just supposed to go along with the herd for the sake of having more friends.
Hate the prequels because I'm supposed to.
Worship "The Matrix" because I'm supposed to.
Worship Harry Potter because I'm supposed to.
Make excuses for JK Rowling because....yeah, that's where they lose me.
That's where it stops being hip and cute.
Driving Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, and Kelly Marie Tran to the brink of suicide wasn't hip and cute either.
Can we stop handing these miserable shitheels the "they just love the franchise so very much" card?
Can we just kick them out of the fandom, and cordon them off in some gutter?
Can we?
Is that a big ask?
Is pointing out "if you're that cruel and gross, you don't really love anything" so damned hard for the media?
We say it about fucking wife beaters.
Anti-fans are wife beaters of culture.
Let's kick 'em out and get restraining orders on them like wife beaters.
Really, if it's just about "I don't like this movie" they've had 25 years to get over it.
Christ, the Holiday Special is worse, and people have fun with that.
That's where it really all falls apart. Hipster fans are able to be ironic and goofy with the Holiday Special, but they turn around and act like TPM killed John Wick's puppy.
Die already.
Hmm, Holiday Special is 47.
Guess we have to wait 22 more years for it to cool all the way down?
I'll be 71 and having stents and a watchman installed.
Yipee.
See you then!! 😃.....😔
I'll retro link this to "Happy seventeenth Star Wars day".

MCU Phase X!
Counts as both Marvel viewing order update 3, and X-Men viewing order 2.5.
Yep, the two icebergs are merging!
Previously-
Yep, I know how to connect the X-Men-verse into the grand scheme now that enough movies are out.

RIP Roger Corman.
Well, he was 98, so he had a long life and career.
But, he'll still be missed.
The links say it all after that, really.

Comes down to, this blog is recreation, I don't have a deadline, so fuck it.
ANYWAY!

Retroactive post #8.
Still more Deadpool & Wolverine cameo rumors.
Jesus, according to the rumor mongers, this thing is the "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" of superheroes.
In spite of other rumor mongers saying otherwise.
Ah, well, I'll log it all down for the "cameos yes" "cameos no" in the final movie review.
Its become a little game, and I enjoy it.

"Superman '25" Superman!!
In case the title confuses you, I said last Gunn-verse update...
OH!! And I'm super late with this.
The title is no longer "Superman Legacy" but just "Superman".
That's just goddamned inconvenient.
Now we have to call this one "Superman '25" to separate it from "Superman '78".
Like "Batman '89" and "Batman '66".
Thanks, James Gunn.
*Eyeroll*
So, yeah.
ANYWAY!!!

Happy seventeenth Star Wars day!
15th (Boba-Fett, Obi-Wan).
16th (Andor, Obi, Mando 3, Ahsoka)
Stuff since last time-
Man, I really haven't been keeping up....
-"Ahsoka" dropped.
-The placeholder title for the ancient prequel by James Mangold is "Rise of the Jedi".
-The official title for the Mando-verse Infinity War movie by Dave Filoni is simply "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and will be dropping first.
-The placeholder title for the post-TROS Rey movie by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is "New Jedi Order".
-The second series of "Tales of the Jedi" is "Tales of the Empire". That drops...today, it seems.
-Season 2 of Obi-Wan is dead.
-Season 2 of "Andor" is going ahead.
-"The Acolyte" is the next big (live-action) thing about to drop. I barely cared before, but its got Carrie Anne Moss as a Jedi, so now I'm interested.
-The Disney Star Wars stuff that was behind the iron Disney+ curtain has started dropping on disk.
Ditto the Marvel shows. Go figure.
-All 11 movies played non-stop on FX.
Update: Oh, shit! Next year is the 20th anniversary of "Revenge of the Sith" and the 10th for "The Force Awakens"!!

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Another franchise I slacked off on.
Because, like "Tron: Ares" its been stuck in development Hell for a decade.
Well, Tron a little over, Furiosa a little under.
So, I guess I'm seeing this one.
Anya Taylor-Joy is the younger Furiosa.
Cuz Charlize Theron aged out of the role of her younger self.
Thanks, foot-dragging Hollywood suits.
Ah, well, Anya's cool too.
Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Black Manta!!) are also in it.
Hemsworth is the main baddie.
It's baby-Furiosa vs Evil Thor.
Two trailers dropped. here's those.
So, we finally have good shit this summer out the other end of the covid tunnel.
Now, we just have to keep Trump from being re-elected so there'll still be a world next year.
