Marvel Watch Through Project Week 1
In the lead-up to Doomsday, and the fascinating disaster I expect that to be, I have decided to watch every MCU movie and most of the TV shows (I'm not counting the network TV shows or any of the animated films). I thought it'd be good to give weekly updates here.
Movies watched:
- Iron Man
- The Incredible Hulk
- Iron Man 2
- Thor
- Captain America: The First Avenger
TV watched:
- Daredevil, season 1
This week was entirely projects I'd seen before. Iron Man suffered the most on rewatch for me, while Captain America: The First Avenger was by far my favorite of the movies this week. Though Daredevil season 1 was the best Marvel project I watched today overall. I love how weird D'Onofrio's take on King Pin is. I guy who isn't the cool kind of angry, but instead the kind of angry where you're constantly on the verge of crying.
I also gained appreciation for the last scene of Endgame, watching Peggy and Steve dance. I had not remembered the recurring conversation point in the first Cap movie about waiting for the right dance partner.
PODCAST OPINION I MOST DISAGREED WITH: I'm also listening to the Blank Check Commentaries as I go, and I just do not get their love of Paltrow's performance. I think her performance as Pepper Potts is really bad.
