Television

I'd imagine WandaVision was always thought of by Disney as a one off season given the Dr Strange 2 movie would've been coming out closer to the release of the show, pre-pandemic. I also don't think they can squeeze enough out of it for a 2nd season but given how popular it is, you never know. I guess it all depends on how the finale is laid out. Given she's already slated to be in the DS2 movie, I doubt they'll be able to continue her storyline until after the movie is released.

I'd imagine Falcon and Winter Soldier was designed for multiple seasons as the pair aren't attached to any other Marvel movies and seem to be set in a portion of the MCU that's not being featured in other films coming out. The Loki series could go either way given he's not a part of the MCU any longer.

This was the original summer 2019 Phase 4 plan.

Well, we wrapped up S5 this weekend, and there were some 'hmmm, not sure about this' moments but nothing shark-jumpy.

The specific point for me when it lost its tone ..was the attack on Bates wife in the kitchen by the chauffeur ...the show never quite recovered for me from that point

I'm really looking forward to Hawkeye.
 
I'm looking forward to What If? That was one of my favorite comics growing up. Those stories would get pretty wild.
 
Finished all of Taskmaster and could not recommend it highly enough. You gotta seek it out (but I can help with that), but it's so worth it. One of my favorite discoveries and now favorite shows period. Tried to find more British shows to dig into, so now I'm onto Hypothetical which is also great. It's got a similar spirit to Taskmaster, but not as great. Side note: James Acaster (a competitor on Taskmaster and host of Hypothetical) is fast becoming one of my favorite comedians. I'm reading one of his books now (all about the music of 2016), and I just went through his four sorta connected stand up specials on Netflix. Those are called Repertoire and I also recommend them, but it's not for everyone by any means. But having learned about his life in his book, and then what he's done comedically, I feel it's an incredible work...like genius-level stand up in what he does with the format.

Really loved those standup specials. Super impressive and unique. Had never heard of him before those started getting buzz.

Did not expect him to be featured on the last couple Quelle Chris albums, that was a funny surprise. I guess he is apparently quite a music head.

James Acaster is fantastic, I'm pretty sure I saw him live a few years back. There's a tiny venue in Central London where comedians practise material for their bigger live shows and I think I saw him there.

Yeah the book I’m reading (Perfect Sound Whatever) is more about music than it is about being funny. Like you can feel his passion for just being a music fan. It’s like a bunch of small snippets about 2016 albums interspersed with him connecting it to a rough year in his personal life.
 
Speaking of James Acaster…he’s got a new special out and it’s incredibly good. Also it’s two hours long (and you can buy an additional separate show with it). Huge recommend.

Watched WandaVision this week and I loved it. It was fun and refreshing. The cast was great and that Hahn is a riot. I don’t read all the comics so I’m sure liberties were taken and that’s fine, but this has definitely propelled me into watching the MCU movies in order. Believe it or not, there are a handful of movies I haven’t seen. I just wanted to add how much I appreciate the depth of Marvel’s female characters. It’s something that should be addressed more in the cinematic world.

After all of that my wife and I started Cobra Kai.....hilarious. 😁
 
After WandaVision, we stumbled around our YouTube app on Apple TV and saw a full episode of the new MTV Real World Homecoming. 28 years later, they got all of the cast back together from the first show in 1992 in the same loft in New York. That show was such a trendsetter, both good and bad for everything that followed with reality TV. I was 15 at the time it came out and watched every episode.

They filmed this new one in January of this year over a week. It's a nice mix of present day reality with trips down nostalgia lane to the 1992 show. I will say the one cast member who really is owed a huge apology is Kevin. He was saving everything back then that we're all saying post-George Floyd. He got the terrible rap of being the "angry black guy" back then. It will be interesting to watch the discussions they have especially on race as I'm sure there's still some raw feelings that never got resolved, especially between Kevin, Julie, and Becky. The rest of the episodes will air on Paramount+.
