Just a list of points in the order they occurred to me:
- I have not seen “Black Panther” yet, but I do own it, so it’s just a matter of time
- I have not seen “Infinity War” yet and I thank the internet for not spoiling it for me, but I realize that can only last for so long
- I want “Solo” to explore the history of the Star Wars Universe outside of the Skywalkers and I want to relevancy to be satisfying, not shoehorned in
- I don’t know much about Han Solo outside of the movies because I didn’t read many of the novels or expanded universe or any of the video games – I am a fan, I just don’t have that much time
- From “Solo”, I want to know:
- What was the reason – other than testing a normal human’s resilience to pain when being subjected to the carbon freezing process to make sure that Luke wouldn’t be killed by it – for Vader to torture Han. Was there a larger thing at play here?
- Does the fact he was carbon frozen have anything to do with a threat that Jabba made to him in the past?
- Do we get to see Jabba again? Is he the main antagonist or someone new? Mind you, I haven’t dissected nor read any of the dissections of the trailer that has come out.
- Will there be a way for R2D2 and C3P0 to make it into the movie? How would that even be possible? Unless he manages to meet Leia as a child, in a parallel of how Anakin and Padme met. Because it would have to be as a child, because R2 and Threepio were given to Leia’s father after Anakin turned.
- I like “The Last Jedi” because:
- It could not have ended any other way. Luke died the same way Ben did – saving the last bits of the rebellion to give a “New Hope”
- He’s the Last Jedi in the same sense that the Supreme Leader was the last Supreme Leader
- They cleverly used the line from history relating to the death of a king and the rise of the new one. “The King is dead. Long live The New King”.
- It was smart, dramatic, and engaging. It had layers to it that allows it to be enjoyed over and over and over again. It has a “Wizard Of Oz” quality to it that lets it be seen differently based on how you feel about it
- I will have to wait to see “Deadpool 2” when it comes out for sale
- No way I can see that with anyone in my family. They simply won’t like it. But my son is a big fan of the comics. I haven’t let him see the original movie yet.
- My secret plan is to be in good enough physical shape to be able to wear a Deadpool costume for Halloween. I have one picked out on cosplaysky.com that I want to buy
- I want the “The Fantastic Four” to be done right (third time is a charm):
- I think that somehow “Ant Man” and maybe “Doctor Strange” will give us a portal into the “Fantastic Four” universe, and that will be Phase 2 of the Marvel Universe. It will have to do more about money than anything, which makes me sad but I understand
- I want the movie arc to have to do with Doctor Doom being someone who has used the mystical powers like Doctor Strange to enchant a suit of armor like Iron Man’s and try to take over the world
- I want “Alpha Flight” to be made into a movie
- The first 16 issues of the original series is enough material to make a GREAT trilogy of movies. And it would give a chance to reboot Wolverine.
- This is the Golden Age of Geeks and Nerds
- All of the comics and things I enjoyed and had to keep to myself that no one else seemed to grasp (least of all my parents and most of the people I called friends) are now on the lips and in the hearts of most of the world and that makes me so happy I could just burst.
