In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Thanks! That was a fun and informative read. That bus fight scene in particular was gorgeously choreographed -- smart of the director to bring in stunt and fight coordinators who were well versed in Hong Kong action movie scene.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I spent most of the movie being punched in the face by Tony Leung's hotness.
I mean, that's kind of a default state for me when he's on-screen.

Because duh.
The whole What If...? series was underwhelming. It mostly felt like it was just rehashing scenes directly from the movies, but only switching up the characters. So many opportunities to go off in new directions, but too afraid to push the envelope. The Party Thor ep was fun, though.
Black Widow is now on the Disney+ regular tier.

We tried to watch Black Widow this weekend, and I had to nope the hell out in the first 5 minutes.

What made me quit the movie was the crate full of screaming girls and knowing that most of them would be murdered soon. What first made me want to quit the movie is the dad willingly giving his daughters up.
I mean, I've read the comics, I know Natasha's brutal backstories, but fuck.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So, Eternals was pretty good!
I can't speak to it as an adaptation of the source material because I'd never heard of these characters before, but as a movie it's better than average, which was a pleasant surprise! I was impressed with how well it balanced being a Marvel movie and being a Chloe Zhao movie.
It is too long (close to 3 hours if you care about both post-credits scenes), and there is one plot thread I think they could have done away with entirely, but it wasn't paced like a standard Marvel movie so for once I didn't find myself checking my watch to see when the final light show was going to start.
