Movie itself was pretty even keel, not great, not terrible.
Cons: weak uninspired villain, that fucking singing planet
Pros: Kamala and her family, cool explorations of the the Marvels’ powers, taking advantage of their quantum entaglement, and probably one of the best real hype post credits scenes since the OG thanos teaser.
I liked the singing planet but wish they had leaned much harder into it.
When we arrive everyone is just standing around and don’t start singing until they notice the Marvels. I understand the reveal joke but they could have handled it better.
The prince being bilingual was fine.
However when it came to battle that should have been a huge musical number. It could have been an added step to the Marvels working in unison. Have them try to time things together but occasionally messing up. Then they could have hummed/sung along to get more in sync.
Agreed on the cons. That planet was just dumb. And yeah that credits scene was definitely a fishing line to Marvel/X-Men fans.
X-Men is my favorite. I don’t need to watch this, right?
YouTube has you
Sounds like just a mid-credits sequence.
Heh, mid
