Ant-man and The Wasp(2018)


  For me,one of the MCU films that stands out and is genuinely funny is the first Ant-man. So when I heard about the sequel I was happy,Ant-man didn't try to be a masterpiece or anything it was just a relatable superhero movie that had very cool characters and a wannabe Obadiah Stane villain.

  I like checking out reviews of movies before I see them and also like getting in depth analysis from my favorite youtubers like Jeremy Jahns just so I can have an idea of what am going into. And so from what reviewers were saying it seemed like this was a bad movie and that it was pointless one YouTube reviewer who I love even went on to sat Michelle Pfeiffer was confused and didn't know what she was doing in the damn film.

Fast forward to me seeing the film,I finally got to make an opinion of my own and kind of see where some reasonable people were coming from. I mean there's a lot of confusing stuff here that doesn't hold up with the continuity such as Ghost's back story but it's actually not that big of deal.....it would have been better if they tried to fit her in the narrative a little more better but they didn't so what?.

 Everybody acted like this was such a terrible outing when in reality one of the worst marvel movies ever made known as Ragnarok(yes I said it) was praised and made a ton of movie so what exactly was/is the problem with Ant-man and the Wasp?.

  For one,it confirms that Marvel are trying their best to make very relatable villains that you can sympathise with. I mean Ghost isn't even really a villain,she's just a young girl trying to save her self from dying due to an accident she got with the Quantum realm. It's not really executed the best way but it definitely gets you wondering if you'd do the same thing in her shoes because the actress is so good and she convinces you that this is her only shot at life.

  The main story is as simple as any thing. Hank believes his wife is  still alive and with his daughter's help,re-enlists a house arrest induced Scott to help them while escaping his parole officers and black market tech sellers. Okay now so if there's anything I agree on,it was definitely dumbing down Scott's intelligence to make Hope seem more efficient as the wasp.

Scott's daughter is more adorable in this one,I loved her even much and they kind of set up a superhero future with her and from recent casting news it seems as though that will be what happens next.
I have no idea why this was done because it honestly sucked and made no sense because they basically made Scott a big dummy. I really hated all the scenes where they made Scott super stupid... Every one of them sucked and it wasn't cool to see at all.

 I liked Alot of the characters but most of the time I felt like they gave Luis too much screentime because he was a fan favorite from the first one which wasn't all that good to me you know?. The comedy also is really great when they're not focusing on selling a joke...all the scenes where they're going back and forth on a specific joke just sucks except the truth serum joke,that one was really funny.

   But honestly,I don't see why anybody would say this film was bad,the story line is really simple and ran away from the whole saving the world scenario and I think maybe that's why "MCU Geeks" didn't like it I mean releasing that post infinity war would definitely leave a lot of people scratching their heads. But,it makes up for it with the post credit scene that will definitely make you feel sad and start to truly see the gravity of Thanos's finger snap.

 Interlude: if it matters here are my favorite characters from the film;
-Scott
-Ghost
-Cassie
-Goliath
-Hope
-Luis
-Hank

 If you saw the leaked avengers 4 images and watch this film(especially the first credit scene) you'll start to have an idea of what Marvel's future plan is and I think it just might be....TIME TRAVEL.

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

  since i heard  windows , i have been sloppy on Hamond.  Pirate Radio  is almost everything i imagine indie pop to be. it's glittery, experimental, vocal, and hard work. half the time, i don't even understand his poetry but it sounds so  damn good . the other half explores experiences of failed/failing relationships, problematic partners, and misplaced gaiety. storytelling like this always gets me into a frenzy, especially with fitting production.  the unconventional mix and production sets this art piece aside from the rest within its genre. especially the drums. nothing cliché with his lyrics or style of music. just pure, honest music that makes me bust some ass to his misfortune. 😀 mehn, it is definitely one of the better listens from 2022. give it a spin?

Why I Love: One Piece

      Last year was quite a hard time for me, it was my final year at the university and for what  felt like the first time in my life, I was truly struggling with school. Not the “oh I’m scared I might not do well” but I was genuinely doing bad. This wasn’t because I wasn’t reading or not putting in the work, it was just because I was given a terrible lecturer as a supervisor. I used to think I had a good relationship with him but during the course of the second semester I began to see a shift in his personality and obvious hate towards me. As someone who struggles with insecurities, I was constantly insulted and ridiculed for no real reasons and even though I knew what he said about me wasn’t true,  I was still hurt. Hurt not just because of how he made me feel bad but hurt because the idea of failing and disappointing my parents and family in general was killing me on the inside and I had no means to express how trapped I felt. You’re probably wondering, “Why...

The Originals: No Always And Forever

   The Spinoff of the vampire diaries has finally ended and after spending 5 years of my life watching it I can only use one sentence to summarize how I felt after seeing it "what the fuck did I just watch"?.                           * MILD  SPOILERS AHEAD* Now,this season has a whole has been bad like...more bad than season 4 but I was like "I'll manage,it's the final season,I need to just be patient with them". I should have opted out long ago,I honestly don't know why Julie Plec(the show runner) is so inconsistent with the universe and bad at ending things. I gave her a pass for shitty The Vampire Diaries ending but this one just vexes me so much.    How can you hunt us with the "always and  forever" quote since the vampire diaries and not let us see it happen. I mean ...what was the point of everything?. I never liked Hayley but when they killed her earlier this season,par...
