Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness [2022]

I finally had a chance to watch the movie. And honestly, it was great! The one thing I was really happy about was that Wanda was not one of the good guys (even though she got a bit of a redemption arc at the end). Still, she died, and frankly, I'm happy about that. Really happy. Mostly because when I watched the trailer for this, it seemed like she was going to be one of the good guys. And I just really hate her. She is one of my least favorite characters. 

But like I said, the movie was great and I really enjoyed it. Action-packed and I just couldn't stop watching. The multiple Doctor Stranges were really interesting, though (spoiler) when our Strange possessed the dead Strange, I had a bit of a flashback to the movie Army of Darkness (Evil Dead franchise) as well as the new Evil Dead game and the titular Evil Ash (main bad-guy). There was just a little bit too much of a resemblance. Including the dead Strange's clothing. 

Heroes [2006 - 2010]

I remember watching the first season when it was first airing on TV. I don't know how old I was but I'm sure I was still in grade school. And then I remember giving up on it when Isaac Mendez died. He was my favorite character. Still is. Though now I also really like Sylar (Gabriel). And the funniest one is Hiro Nakamura. He's good too. 

Now, here's the official blurb. I'm done coming up with summaries for stuff that already has them. 

People all over the U.S start to realize they have special abilities, like telekinesis, healing abilities, flying powers, time travel, invisibility, and the ability to absorb others' abilities. One man, known as Sylar, wants to gain all the power of these "heroes" so he can be the most powerful and evolved human of all, and stops at nothing to gruesomely kill these people. In order to protect themselves from him, these people must help one another before Sylar can destroy them all, while they each deal with problems of their own.

The Umbrella Academy - Season 1 [2019]

Before I watched I'm Not Okay With This, I watched The Umbrella Academy. At first, I was a little iffy about it. I was delaying watching it all the time, thinking it wouldn't be all that interesting. Well, I take it all back. The show is awesome! And, it seems like I have a thing about shows based on comic books. 

Yes, The Umbrella Academy is also based on a comic book. Unlike I'm Not Okay With This, it has several volumes. I haven't done any research on the comics. The only thing I know is that the White Violin - Vanya, looks completely different in the show. In the comic books, she becomes the White Violin. But here, played by Ellen Page, they took a different approach to it. And I think they did great. The way they show the transformation from Vanya to the White Violin is awesome. Her black suit becomes white and even the violin she's playing changes color. She's also surrounded by this white halo! 
I wanted to link to the scene, but that specific scene is nowhere to be found, so just watch the whole show. And pay extra attention during the last episode because that transformation is truly epic! 

Deadpool 2 [2018]

So, yesterday. I was reading a fanfic. The name is Point of No Return and you can find it on AO3. That is not the point. I was also looking for something to watch and well, the story featured Deadpool. And I'm like... Maybe I should watch Deadpool 2. I've been postponing that for so long. I'm not saying that Deadpool 1 was bad, it is just that Deadpool is not my favorite superhero. I have nothing against him, but I'm not as invested in him as I'm in some of the other major MCU characters. But, I was running low on things to watch so Deadpool 2 it was. Mostly because he was really funny in the fanfic. So yeah, I went to watch that. And again, Deadpool has a tendency to first show the middle of the story. Well, not the middle, but about a fourth in. Also, the guy keeps breaking the fourth wall. I guess that's just him, but well, I think it wouldn't be as funny if it was any other character. I'm still not sure if I really liked the movie or not. It was definitely watchable. But that's really all I can say for certain at this point. Though I did enjoy the credits scenes. What I didn't like was the kid - Russel or whatever his name is. I don't know... I just really didn't like him. From the beginning. I liked Cable better than him. And he started out as the bad guy. At least I'm pretty sure we all agree that Juggernaught was not likable at all. And if there is anyone out there who liked him, well, you're weird. And I don't wanna talk to you. 

I honestly don't know what else to write about the movie without giving out spoilers. Fuck, writing a book review is simpler. Maybe because I have no problem with giving a summary of the book. But with movies, well, not that simple. Also, a movie storyline is usually shorter than a book.
This movie is definitely for those who like dirty jokes and comedies with a bit (a lot) of violence. Whatever, screw the no spoiler thingy. So! Deadpool kills a lot of people, his girl gets killed, he goes to mope to the X-men, then Russel enters the scene, they get sent to prison, Deadpool breaks out when Cable attacks it, prisoners get transported somewhere else, Deadpool forms a team and highjacks the transport, Russel leaves with Juggy, Deadpool, and co. go stop him before he kills the head of the orphanage after they join forces with Cable. Fight, Deadpool dies, Cable rewinds time, saves him, everyone is happy. Then cue the credits scenes.
And I suck at this. Maybe because while I did watch the movie, I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Like, certain scenes were really funny, but still... I think I need to go and watch Advent Children again. And yes, I'm on a Sephiroth kick. Sue me. Deadpool has nothing on Sephy. Still, I'm also on Marvel kick and well, this was something I had yet to watch so I did. Next on my list is the Daredevil Netflix show. Already about four episodes in. And it already looks better than Deadpool. Sorry Deadpool, you're not up to par.
