I also cannot wait for this movie. I almost want to go back to DC to see it with my brother.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Part of the problem is I don't think Marvel has a lot of iconic villains, at least not in the way DC does, and most of the ones they do have (like Magneto and Doctor Doom) belong to Fox on the movie side.
As goofy as a lot of Spidey's rogues gallery is, at least they're not all evil versions of him. So we should get some variety on that front, at least.

My brother texts me (frequently) with SUPER BAD casting ideas for Spidey's villains, like Jon Lovitz as Hydro-Man.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Marvel's lack of Cool Villains seems weird to me since they've got Loki, Red Skull, Galactus, Dr. Doom, all of Spidey's foes (Ditko was good at creating those guys), Magneto, Kingpin etc.
But as noted, those are mostly parceled out to the non-MCU properties or Netflix.
The bigger issue is that they've gotten very formulaic with their projects. Which since it's basically a machine to print up Nigh-A-Billion dollars I understand.
But Dr. Strange was really really close to the first Iron Man (with a side of Inception visuals).
I'm hoping Thor: Ragnarok shakes things up as much as the trailers suggest.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are you seeing it tonight, Tom? I really wanted to go tonight, but Thursdays are bad for us, schedule-wise, so we're waiting until tomorrow.
