The Current and Future
Avengers: Endgame was released on DVD on Tuesday, July 30, 2019. I enjoyed reading the following articles about it.
- What Makes 'The Portals Scene' In 'Avengers: Endgame' The Most Emotional Moment In Blockbuster Movie History? - Entertainment - Mashable India
- Marvel is known to try to mislead fans with trailers for upcoming films. In the cast of Avengers: Endgame, the film itself continues the charade into the opening act.
Upcoming Marvel Studios projects include
- Black Widow on May 1, 2020
- The Falcon and The Winter Soldier in fall 2020
- The Eternals on November 6, 2020
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on February 12, 2021
- Wanda Vision in spring 2021
- Loki in spring 2021
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 7, 2021
- What If? In summer 2021
- Hawkeye in fall 2021
- Thor: Love and Thunder on November 5, 2021.
- Where is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?"
- The ending of Avengers: Endgame implied that Thor was going to go with the Guardians of the Galaxy team which, I think, is a great idea. The interaction between Star-Lord and Thor was a highlight of Avengers: Infinity War - I hope it's a relationship that is developed in the next movie.
- Where is Black Panther 2?
- Where is Captain Marvel 2?
- Both BP 2 and CM 2 would be a well-deserved sequel
- Where is a third movie about Ant-Man & the Wasp - which I hope is made as I enjoy Paul Rudd as Ant-Man.
- Where is a third Spider-Man movie?
- After the cliffhanger in Spider-Man: Far From Home and the re-introduction of James Jonah Jameson (JJJ), played by the same actor who played the character in the Tobey McQuire trio of movies, I want to see that too.
- Is the list above complete?
- Are there plans to ever stop making movies about the Marvel universe?
- Will there ever be a movie that is "bigger" than Avengers: Endgame?
- This would be a movie that would include all the characters from the Phase One & Phase Two movies as well as all the characters from the Phase Three movies?
- Will I ever sit through The Incredible Hulk?
- Will I ever sit through Thor: Dark World?
- Will I ever sit through Doctor Strange?

A Bit Longer than Lent
So many hopefully great movies will be released in the next 44 days!
In chronological order, I am excited to see "Thor: Ragnorak" in the theater.
A couple of weeks later, the "Justice League" movie opens on November 15th! AWESOME Sauce!
And then we get to the big one. Every time I see any trailer for "The Last Jedi," whether it is the first or fiftieth time, my heart swells in anticipation. Of the three in this post, I fully admit that "The Last Jedi" has caused me the most excitement. I won't be a 'crazy Star Wars fan' who camps outside the theater on opening day, but before it leaves the theater, I will see it. The movie opens on December 15, 2017, a short 44 days from now.
I was anxious to listen to what Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, has to say.
I'm pretty sure I've used the fact that a movie opens around 40 days from the day I posted in other posts, but if the religious analogy works, work it! <grin>

Doesn't Think
As a recap, this is the new Thor trailer:
and I just came upon an article by an author who was not impressed by it.
Read that article: freebeacon.com/blog/new-thor-trailer-more-like-thor-memenarok-amirite/
I try to present both sides to an argument - it's my curse that I've pondered previously. That said, I thought it was a good trailer.

Two Quick BBT Clips
Favorite line from Leonard: "I don't know, he did it to me."
Favorite line from Sheldon: "Raiders of the Lost Ark is the love child of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas."

Super Hero Movies
To anyone that will listen, I will say that two things in my childhood
contributed to my love of reading. First, during weekly mass at St. Pius
X in Cedar Rapids, I remember having the book in the pew open to the
readings and as they were read, I followed along. It was like someone
was reading aloud to me and by following along, I know I increased my
vocabulary. The second was reading comic books. So, when I feel giddy and excited and immature about seeing the scheduled super hero movies that Hollywood is going to make here, there's definitely a source for those feelings. And what essay about comic books can begin without stating there is always a lingering sense of regret when I think about that collection and considering how much money those comic books would be worth to a collector in 2014. Every kid who read comic books believes their collection would be worth a lot of
money, including me.
I often smirk when I remember how certain things in life make a huge impression in the brain. I don't regret the time I spent reading comic books as it nurtured my innate desire to read. I do vividly remember that it was Donna Schlampp who gave me a subscription to Thor. Donna is my godmother. I don't remember the context for why I received that gift - birthday? Christmas? - but I remember being initially disappointed by her gift. I remember it was given to me with a Spider-Man comic book. I remember that Spider-Man was a super hero I knew about but Thor was an unknown hero. Maybe it was the fear of the unknown that I was reacting to in that dim memory of being disappointed.
I remember that each issue of Thor arrived in a brown wrapper. I remember I could simply slide the comic book out of that wrapper. Immediately retreating to my room to read a new issue of Thor was a monthly event. I think reading Thor made reading Shakespeare somewhat easier for me. The characters in the Thor comic book didn't say things like "I like the way the sun looks as it goes down on the horizon." Instead, their characters used phrases like "Upon the distant horizon, sets the sun I enjoy." The way the words were arranged were not easy for me to comprehend as a child but because I read Thor on a monthly basis, I learned to understand the way the characters spoke. Maybe every English major should read Thor as a way to learn how to read literature like Shakespeare? I crack myself up.
Back to reading comic books, I remember exactly where I sat when I read comics. I sat in my bedroom, on the floor, with my left leg in my closet and my right leg out of my closet. I had two sliding closet doors on a track. There was a large maroon box without a lid and it was in this box that I stored my comic books. This box was large and covered my entire closet floor. Leaning against the wall, I sat next to this box and read comic books. I can't begin to estimate the number of hours I sat and read comic books. I read Justice League of America, Thor, and many others. It is still a natural impulse to look for comic books if I am anywhere that has a magazine rack.
