You’re Not Cool, Unless You Go To D23 I Guess

Some quick thoughts on D23

So this past weekend Disney hosted their annual D23 event in Anaheim and apparently it was the bee’s knees. With footage from a ton of upcoming stuff, like Jon Favreau’s Lion King, Avengers; Infinity War, Mary Poppins and some behind the scenes stuff for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

One thing quickly crosses my mind when thinking about all this. It’s great that Disney has this monster event every year, but I think it’s cruel and unusual punishment to us normal folk who simply can’t make it to this thing. Twitter was literally on fire yesterday from everyone tweeting about all the incredible footage that was being tossed around, and fans are even going stir crazy for Marvel to release the Infinity War footage. I think that Disney should considering expanding this thing to the masses. Why not have a streaming service going, where maybe it costs a pretty penny to watch, but what they should already know is that people will pay for almost anything Marvel/Disney related. I get that it’s suppose to be special to be at the event in person, but we live in a world now where either these things will just get leaked or you will cause an uproar when only a hand few of people get to see your product.

So will someone please leak that Avengers trailer, would really be beneficial for all of us. That shot of all the Avengers cast sitting watching the trailer, is actually pretty damn cool. Oh, and apparently Lion King looks like a masterpiece, which doesn’t surprise me at all, cannot wait for Lionish Gambino.

Still Not Sold on ‘Spider-Man Homecoming’ 

Are they really going to make Spider-Man the next Ironman? 

(MARVEL)

So I think this is the final Spider-Man Homecoming trailer, well at least I hope it is. They are not holding back with showing us, well practically the entire movie. Seriously this is one movie you don’t need to sell us fans on, and they keep giving us more new footage and new trailers every other week it seems. This movie has the word Spider-Man in the title, it’s going to make a billion dollars regardless of wether or not it blows. So why on Earth are they showing us so much! I would have been so pumped to not know just how much Ironman was going to be in this. I just feel like I know every single beat and plot point that will happen. I can’t decide if I’m a fan of his talking suit or not. That’s kind of Ironman’s thing, but I guess we will see how that plays out. All these gadgets are cool and all, but I just don’t think that’s Spider-Man’s thing. He’s got his webs and his wit and that’s always been good enough for me. Don’t try to overdue this and make him cool, he’s cool enough already! 

Don’t get me wrong, it looks fantastic, and I think Tom Holland is the perfect choice to play the web slinger. It just looks like every other Marvel movie, and with how GOTG 2 turned out, I’m going to remain skeptical until I see the finished product. So prove me wrong Marvel please! Because well we haven’t gotten a good Spider-Man movie in almost 10 years, so it’s long overdue. 

The cast is incredible so I’m not worried about that one bit, I just don’t want Keaton turned into just another generic Marvel villain, he’s way to good of an actor for that. So let’s hope he’s got some layers to his character and gets enough screen time. I’m glad they finally showed some Donald Glover footage, I’m really curious about his role in the movie! 

They dropped two trailers today, with the international being the better of the two. I dunno I’m just upset they have shown so much footage, when they just need to do so. It’s freaking Spider-Man, everyone and their dog will be lining up to see this one! I know I will  

Check ya later.
