Not A Review Of “Captain America: Brave New World”

So last week, which ended with one of the let’s call it boomier of US holidays, we indulged in our annual tradition of finding something noisy to watch so that Lulu (and, to a much lesser extent, Bean) wouldn’t notice and/or be disturbed by all the popping and whooshing and whizzing and banging going on outside. This year, the selection was Captain American: Brave New World, AKA the one with the Red Hulk1:

Not A Not A Review Of “Daredevil”

So recently I’ve started watching the old Netflix Daredevil series, which is now a Disney+ series, because I want to get caught up before I watch the Disney+ Daredevil series Born Again, since the “Born Again” story arc is my favorite Daredevil one from the Marvel comic, but which, as I understand it, is not really a straight-up adaptation of the “Born Again” storyline but is, instead, a mash-up of some other storylines*, and they decided to use the title just to lure in suckers like me. Whew! Did you follow all that? If so, congratulations. You may be able to read a comic book without getting totally confused as to what’s going on.

Oh, and, before we continue …

More Odds & Ends From This & That

So this week I’ve got a few more bits and pieces of things we’ve watched that don’t individually rise to the level of a “Not a Review“, but that, taken together, add up to a post.* This includes a television show and a couple of movies, including one which, astonishingly, my wife not only asked about**, but which she stayed up for in its entirety***.

A Review of the Not A Review of “WandaVision”

So a few weeks ago I mentioned that my wife had been watching the Disney+ superhero series WandaVision with me. Sadly, this only lasted for the first three-and-a-half episodes; in episode four, the action shifted to what was going on outside of the retro, sometimes black-and-white world of Westview, starting off with … Oh, wait, hang on. For those who haven’t seen Infinity War and Endgame or, for that matter, all of WandaVision:

Not A Review Of “Shazam!”

So recently I watched Shazam!, a documentary about the genesis and production of the classic television comedy Gomer Pyle: USMC. No, just kidding. It’s about Captain Marvel this guy:

Not a Review of “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

So this week we (mostly me) watched “Spider-Man: Homecoming“, AKA “The One That Does Have Tony Stark In It, But Not Enough Of Him, Despite All The Posters That Make It Look Like He Is A Major Character”.

Random Rejection: Allied Comics

So remember how I said I never throw away anything?  Check out this little chestnut:

Not A Review Of “Deadpool”

So this week, we (meaning I) watched “Deadpool“, the (other) superhero movie featuring a foul-mouthed anti-hero who dispenses insults and jokes almost as fast as he kills bad guys.

Not A Review Of “Ant-Man”

So recently we watched “Ant-Man“, in which Jack Colton gives Phoebe’s boyfriend/(spoiler alert)husband Mike a suit that allows him to shrink down to the size of an insect, while Kate glowers disapprovingly.  Hilarity ensues.
