I may have, though I don’t think I may have said something about The Marvels? But besides changing her powers I enjoyed it. I will stand behind this trailer being a steaming pile of shit. Regardless of my obsessions with the main actresses.
I generally don’t go into many (any?) Marvel movies or shows expecting to hate it. Some are great. Some not so great. It’s all good.

True, but this is modern Disney. Their once stellar track record is so tainted now with lack of quality it just gets more and more disappointing. I am going with the D-rog approach. Go in with low expectations and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Isn’t that how we should treat everything like this though? I usually go into everything with low to zero expectations… you just set yourself up if you don’t.

These days, pretty much, but there was a time where you just had that feeling what was coming out was going to be good to very good. Now there is always that fear of will it just suck or suck a lot. So, I do think most everyone should shift gears and lower expectations. Being pleasantly surprised is always welcome. I did that with the Acolyte. The first two episodes were slow and OK, but nothing off the charts awful, so I was thinking it was going to be one of those good cases of entering without high hopes…then I watched a couple more episodes. Oh well. At least I tried and gave it a chance. Maybe the new Agatha show will be a fun ride with some Insite to some of the future MCU projects hinted at. We will see.
Honestly I feel like people have such rose tinted glasses for the MCU and act like every release pre end game was a 10/10 when in reality the output has usually been hits and misses. Iron man 2, Thor 1 and 2 ant man were pretty meh movies and I vividly remember the massive hate Iron Man 3 got. I think with a franchise 22+ movies deep theres going to be some inconsistencies and there have been plenty of great stuff post end game, X-men 97, No way home, guardians 3, Black panther 2, werewolf by night etc. Can’t wait to hear everyone rave about Deadpool and wolverine and how the mcu is saved only for whatever is after to have people say THE MCU IS DEAD DISNEY KILLED MARVEL for the millionth time

Any early non-spoilery reviews from the CHU crew? I think EP 1 and 2 are out. This is a tough grading crowd, so I’m expecting less than stellar reviews. I’ll probably hit it this weekend.
I forgot about it until about 11pm last night. Watched the first two episodes. Was a little confused…it seemed to have started off assuming the audience had some background…so I went back and also watched the last two episodes of Wandavision. It was a late night.
I thought the fight scenes between the witches were pretty weak…at least the parts where they were holding each other back and trading insults….seemed like they weren’t really giving it their all.
I felt it was pretty “meh” overall, not bad but not great. I’m not familiar with the comic book characters, and usually watch a few YouTube videos explaining the subtleties I miss to better appreciate these shows. So I’ll reserve judgement for a while.
I did find the scene where Agatha marched over to the neighbor outside and asked how long has she been entranced to be quite funny…especially when she marched back into her house.
You’ll know it when you see it. 
Any movement in FF 186? I haven’t checked. First Salem’s Seven
It hit a certain list this evening which, like it or not, does typically move the needle.
A lot not going for that book.
- It’s an older book…and lots of copies out there.
- Was spec’d on already during wandavision, so bins have already been cleaned out.
- Its not been a secret that they would appear in Agatha
- show isn’t that highly anticipated.
What I would expect is that anyone that grabbed at the peak during wandavision may have waiting till now to dump copies hoping to get some of their money back…so could see more supply than demand keeping the price down.
1st episode was alright. Played into the same story as Wandavision (replace Wanda with Agatha), but at a MUCH quicker pace. Good cinematography.
2nd episode was garbage. Just absolutely bad writing.

I’m not enjoying the show all that much. Was really looking forward to it, but so far it is below average.

Seriously, episode 3 was total filler. You could take the first 10 minutes and the last 3 minutes, edit them together, and the episode would still “make sense” ( I guess)…

Well, I don’t know if it is filler. It was the first trial for the covent, which was challenging the one characters ability to create a potion, more or less, which is their power. Each episode for a while is going to be another trial, I believe, focusing on a characters ability one by one.
