Alright, just bear with me if none of this is coherent because my brain is in so much pain from being awoken earlier than necessary for a Zoom call and bingeing two movies in a row from my laptop. (This situation seems to be a reoccurring theme, doesn't it?)
A little background on my current placement in the Marvel and MCU fandom: ever since the release of Hawkeye, I spontaneously dropped out entirely from this interest… for a reason unbeknownst to me. (Okay, maybe that reason can be dug up if I do some further introspection, but that's not what I want to use this time for right now.) It was kind of concerning, though. Like, I was a crazy Marvel fanatic up until the run of their first Disney Plus shows. I lost the draw and immersion almost out of the blue, and my previously prevailing interest was just gone in the blink of an eye. There was no motivation to pick up on the shows, and eventually, several movies were released, and I didn't go see any of them—Eternals, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness all passed by just like that. I kept promising myself that I would catch up, that I can't just let this franchise go so easily, especially since it had grown to be such an integral part of my passion. I never did it, though. My mom ended up watching a couple of these movies without me because I kept stalling on my vow to watch it with her.
It was halfway through the summer, and I still haven't made any efforts in starting my grand comeback. Alas, my saviors came in the form of Janet and Kate dragging me to see Thor: Love and Thunder yesterday, when they and my sister returned from summer camp. I almost declined, to be honest, because I would feel so guilty about not watching these in order. I did end up going. I felt fine afterwards. The movie was cute, and Tessa Thompson is so fine. Then, I began to feel the flare spark again—maybe, not all is lost; maybe, it's coming back.
So it did: I got home and pulled up Eternals on oomf's Disney Plus account that I'm using and watched it with my mom—that was the only one she didn't watch on her own. The next day (today), I found the remaining two films on some 123movies bootleg in fantastic quality, and I binged both of those in one go earlier. (As I'm typing this, I am now realizing that I could've just watched Multiverse on Disney Plus, and I'm not sure why I didn't think of switching back.) Either way, the result is the massive headache and eye strain that I have going on right now. I would go to sleep, but it's not even 11 P.M. yet, so that won't do! I'm here to release my final thoughts on these four films now. It'll be a good way to organize my thoughts before I—hopefully am able to—plunge back into catching up on the new shows, as well as some of the older ones. (Is Daredevil still on Netflix?)
I'll go in order of release, then.
( why am i on steroids in writing and expressional fluency only when i'm sleep deprived? )
