6.5/10

2. unhinged

After a confrontation with an unstable man at an intersection, a woman becomes becomes the target of his rage.

starring: Russel Crowe, Caren Pistorius, Gabriel Batemen

hm idk, I didn’t really like it, my sister didn’t really like it but my mom did, I think. it just seemed so, no overdramatic but just too much in a way

3/10

3. in time

hell yes, one of my favourite marvel movies. Wanda and Pietro.. Hawkeye.. all the little jokes throughout the entire movie and of course the scene where everyone tries to lift thor’s hammer, what’s not to love about this movie

10/10

5. songbird

In 2024 a pandemic ravages the world and it’s cities. Centering a handful of people as they naviagete the obstacles currently hindering society: disease, marital law, quarantine, and vigilantes.

starring: K.J. Apa, Sofia Carson, Demi Moore, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stromare, Alexandra Daddario, Craig Robinson

I really enjoyed watching this. yeah sure, the ending was obvious but I was still glued to the screen. I also felt super weird watching this, kinda surreal because we are basically living a more harmless version of this rn. I really liked seeing sofia carson in such a movie, I’ve only seen her in the descendants so this was a bit of a change haha. I’m not that big of a fan of kj but he was great as well and i really loved his characters style.

7/10

6. star trek

The brash James T. Kirk tries to live up to his father’s legacy with Mr. Spock keeping him in check as a vengeful Romulan from the future creates black holes to destroy the Federation one planet at a time.

starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Carl Urban, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Zaldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin

I put it on because I wanted to have some background noise while playing sims but I ended up playing like 20 minutes and then just watching the movie haha I forgot how good it was, and the others as well, aaand I totally forgot carl urban was in it, so that was a little surprise. anyways, can recommend watching them if you’re into sci-fi action movies but at the same time, if you’re into that I’m pretty sure you’ve already watched them.

7.5/10

bonus: I also watched star trek beyond the other day but this time I was barely paying attention so I can't really say too much, but it's also quite good👍🏻

7. step up all in

definetly one of my favourite dance movies. highly recommend it!! I’d like it more without the romancde but it’s fine, I guess, I can live with it haha and the last performance... wow just wow that’s all I can say to that. y’all go watch it

9/10

8. project almanac

A group of teens discover secret plans of a time machine, and construct one. However, things start to get out of control.

starring: Jonny Weston, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Sam Lerner, Allen Evangelista, Virginia Gardner

okay... I did enjoy watching it! the beginning was a little slow imo but then it just got more and more intense which was kinda nice. god, at some point the main guy kept making the wrong decisions and that was very frustrating to watch. the ending was alright, spoiler ahead (I guess) I would have liked the ending more if it was the exact same as the beginning, meaning that the movie is just one big time loop and the events from the movie were about to repeat themselves. but that's just my opinion🤷🏻‍♀️

6.5/10

9. ant man

starring: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale, David Dastmalchian, T.I.

another one of my favorite mcu movies. it's just fun and easy and doesn't have a lot of pain in it. the giant ant it's my favorite part haha I want it as a pet

9/10

10. space sweepers

Set in the year 2092 and follows the crew of a space junk collector ship called The Victory. When they discover a humanoid robot named Dorothy that's known to be a weapon of mass destruction, they get involved in a risky business deal.

starring: Song Joong-Kim, Kim Tae-ri, Seon-kyu Jin, Hyang-gi Kim, Richard Armitage, Ye-Rin Park

I really loved this movie. I cried like 6 times haha, which came unexpected. (or maybe it's because I'm suppose to get my period any day now) I did not think I was going to enjoy this movie as much as I did, at all. it was fun, it was exciting, it was sad (even my dad said that) the plot was good, the visual effects were amazing, it did feel like I was watching this movie for like 5 hours but not in a bad way and I am now kinda emotionally attached to the characters haha (I might do a rewatch). another thing I really liked was the language/synchronization. in the original version they speak mostly korean and english but also some other languages and it's the same in the synchronizations. the dialogue of the main characters is in the language you pick but every other character (I guess) is a different language and I absolutely love that. I highly recommend watching this!!

also, its was super weird seeing Richard Armitage not as a dwarf hahaha

10/10

11. christiane f.

A teen girl in 1970's Berlin becomes addicted to heroin. Everything in her life slowly begins to distort and disappear as she befriends a small crew of junkies and falls in love with a drug-abusing male prostitute.

starring: Natja Brunckhorst, Thomas Haustein, Jens Kuphal, Christiane Reichelt

I binged the series the other day and after the last episode this movie was in the "watch next" thingy idk and I thought "well, why not" and watched it. good movie, definitely!! I really liked that they didn't show the highs of doing heroin but focused on the negative effects it has on someone and what it's doing to your body. it is a super realistic but very very dark movie. the actors were all about 15/16 years old and looked very young which was a good and kinda disturbing thing because christiane and her friend were like 13/14 when that all happened and it made you realise that there were kids doing all that stuff

9/10

12. jurrasic world

A new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.

starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty simpkins, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio

13. jurassic world fallen kingdom

When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.

starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Isabella Sermon

I am tired and don't really want to say all that much other than both of them are very good and I do like them. good action/adventure movies. can definitely recommend them. I definitely like the first one more because it feels like (just a little bit) that the main story in the second one is the same as in the first one, someone creates a new dinosaur species to make more money and something goes terribly wrong along the way. but it's still entertaining!

jurassic wolrd: 7.5/10

jurassic world fallen kingdom: 7/10

Why do people don't like MCU's mary jane? I don't know much about spider man to understand

Swinging Bats at Hornet Nests and all that.

Anyway, short version and long version:

Short Version: That’s because there is no Mary Jane Watson in the MCU.

Detailed Version:

Back during before Homecoming came to be, Zendaya was rumored to have been chosen for the part of Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker’s most famous, if not THE most famous, love interest in the history of marvel comics.

This created a sort of... split opinions on the matter. There where those who didn’t trust Marvel, those who were questioning if she was going to look the role by dying her hair red, those who were hopeful given Zendaya’s previous work to give us a faithful Mary Jane Watson, the racists, the ones who keep wondering out loud about the lack of red head characters not being played by redheads in superhero movies and series, those who didn’t trust Zendaya to have the range, you know, the usual mixed lot.

I was cautious but hopeful. I knew that, with the right direction and characterization, she could have played Mary Jane Watson...

Then the spoilers came.

Zendaya DOESN’T play Mary Jane Watson. She plays Michelle (Jones) (Surname not even given in the OG movie), or MJ as she calls herself. She is NOTHING like the 616 Mary Jane Watson, and is in fact closer to 616 Gwen (already non existent) original characterization than actual Mary Jane Watson, here a loner nerd mot conventionally attractive who is the very antithesis of everything original Mary Jane was and is. She is a “Gotcha!” character, just there to have a last scene in the movie and go “LOL, Sup nerds, I am actually Mary Jane Watson, except I am not even called that and I am not a seemingly carefree party girl with trust issues and hidden depths due to a history of familial abuse and shit, i’m just a vitriolic nerd that is going to call Peter a shitty loser and expect him to fall in love with him because of that.”

Like, imagine if she ended the movie with “Oh, yeah, i’m Michelle (Wayne), but my friends call me Deadpool. Also the letter of my first name should be turned upside down for consistency’s sake,” she ends the movie and reveals she is the MCU Version of deadpool, no cancer, no powers, doesn’t kill people for a living, a somewhat better personality when it comes to interpersonal relationships, nothing like the Original Deadpool but at the same time Marvel Goons will defend this fucking idea to the very end, because, like, she is such a OC character that you can claim she is actually supposed to be based on ANYONE in the MCU and it wouldn’t change much (I’m partial to Kitty Pryde. She is, after all, I mean, didn’t they know each other in the ultimate universe? You know, the one where Blob vores the Wasp alive and kills her, pretty graphically That would make as much sense as this after all).

This is just one of the MANY mischaracterizations to the original source material (Like, you know, FLASH THOMPSON, the snotty academic rival, or the Miles Morales Uncle and Best Friend who are, somehow, there to help Peter Parker, Tony Stark’s protege and all that shit), but is however the one whom stings the most due to Marvel’s history of BULLSHIT regarding Mary Jane Watson, culminating right around the time of Homecoming when Talentless Hack and Scourge Upon Good Taste Dan Slott was, unfortunately, still in charge of the Spider-Man comics.

The fans wanted a bone to be thrown at them, after years of bullshit and marriages being sold to the devil and almost r*pes by villains taking controll of Peter’s Body and, just... Talentless Hackery and “i am walking out of your life Peter, it’s too dangerous and I can’t handle that or the fact you are spider-man, because how can I with my fragile womany willies handle this life of superheroing you have, you must fuck Bobbi Morse instead” and general sexism and that one time a fat man sat on top of Peter which stopped him from reaching his marriage in time and SHIT LIKE THAT, so when they hear Marvel not only is going to make a new spider-man movie, BUT that was also going to have a Spider-Man faithful to the source material (Hindsight shakes her head sadly), they were ecstatic, that maybe, this time, we were going to get some Mary Jane Watson Justice, finally, some good shit.

But Alas...

That’s why Zendaya’s character isn’t particularly liked, DESPITE it being a... OK character on her own (Still pretty debatable and depending on personal taste even that tho, she’s as fine as Ganke Ned in this context we could say, an OC that could be OK to have if we didn’t have already some of the best supporting cast for a superhero story in the history of comics to pick from), because she is supposed to be a character that is nothing like her character, yet at the same time can be used by FUCKS to bully Mary Jane Watson fans into submission because, you know, she’s THE REAL Mary Jane now, and marriage in story telling is boring anyway, so why shouldn't Peter be a globetrotting billionaire with a woman in every port and a Spider-Car?

(Original Twitter Exchange courtesy of @mjwatson)

Anyway, that was the detailed answer. That’s why Michelle Jones isn’t particularly liked, at least from my personal experience.

Probably forgot some minor shit.
