The Saga That Never Happened
Rewatching Quantumania before Avengers Doomsday. It was built to launch a decade of Kang, that decade was cancelled, and the film is now a museum piece.

Rewatching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever before Avengers Doomsday. The treaty I disliked in 2022 turns out to be the most useful thing in the film.
Rewatching Thor: Love and Thunder before Avengers Doomsday. It set up three things in 2022 and four years later not one of them went anywhere.
Rewatching Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness before Doomsday. It said incursion out loud in 2022 and nobody was really listening.
Rewatching Shang-Chi before Avengers Doomsday. Five years on, the rings are still broadcasting to something and nobody has ever said what.
Rewatching X-Men: Days of Future Past before Avengers Doomsday. It repaired the timeline in 2014 and the franchise ignored the repair within three years.
Starting a nine-month MCU rewatch before Avengers Doomsday with the four early Fox X-Men films, and the two actors who have been arguing since 2000.
Rewatching Logan before Avengers Doomsday. In 2017 I said time would tell after repeated viewings. It told, and both goodbyes in it have since been undone.
Rewatching Thor: Ragnarok before Avengers Doomsday. That triumphant ending lasts about six months, and the tone that saved Thor later went much too far.
Rewatching Captain America: The Winter Soldier before Doomsday. Steve dumps every file in 2014 and the MCU has been living in the wreckage ever since.
My Spider-Man Brand New Day review: the swinging that floored me, Bernthal’s Punisher, a monstrous Hulk, Jean Grey, and what Peter is now.
Nolan’s Odyssey is sprawling and occasionally disjointed — Matt Damon is jacked, Hathaway is better than expected, and that ending is pure Tolkien.
The 2026 He-Man movie is a tonal mess that bombed at the box office — and I still had a blast. Here’s why Jared Leto’s Skeletor saves it.
Disclosure Day is a solid 7. It’s the best straight-up X-Files successor since the show itself, it earns its first contact moment, and if you grew up believing the truth was out there, it’ll scratch that itch convincingly.
A review of The Fantastic Four First Steps, where the retro-futuristic world and the Silver Surfer land but Galactus is nowhere near big enough.
A review of Thunderbolts, where Florence Pugh and a strong vault fight carry a film that takes the easy way out on mental health and misreads the Sentry.
Dive deep into a thrilling review of Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers (1997). Explore its satirical brilliance, iconic scenes, cultural impact, and thought-provoking lessons. Discover how it diverges from Robert Heinlein’s novel and why it remains a sci-fi masterpiece
A review of Captain America Brave New World, Anthony Mackie’s first outing as Cap, Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk, and whether the shield needed a serum behind it after all.
Experience the genre-bending thrill of ‘The Gorge’ on Apple TV+, where Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy’s chemistry ignites a supernatural romance amid mysterious dangers
Revisit the 1987 cult classic The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. A wild mix of dystopian chaos, 80s camp, and iconic cameos, this movie is as fun as it is absurd. Plus, a darker remake is on the horizon.
Dune Part Two review. Far more action than Part One, and a family rewatch plus the book’s context made it land. The Chani changes and missing Alia bug me.
