  • Phase One-ish
    • Captain America: The First Avenger
    • Captain Marvel
    • Iron Man
    • The Incredible Hulk
    • Iron Man 2
    • Thor
    • Marvel’s The Avengers
  • Phase Two-ish
    • Iron Man 3
    • Thor: The Dark World
    • Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    • Guardians of the Galaxy
    • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    • Avengers: Age of Ultron
    • Ant-Man
  • Phase Three-ish
    • Captain America: Civil War
    • Black Widow
    • Spider-Man: Homecoming
    • Black Panther
    • Doctor Strange
    • Thor: Ragnarok
    • Ant-Man and the Wasp
    • Avengers: Infinity War
    • Avengers: Endgame
    • Spider-Man: Far From Home
  • Phase four-ish
    • Eternals
    • Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    • Spider-Man: No Way Home

I just finished Ant-Man. I started it this morning and finished it tonight. So ends Phase Two, or what passes for Phase Two when you’re going chronologically instead of in release order. Ant-Man is a classic, so Phase whatever-it-was ends with a bang.

Phase Three-ish opens with an even bigger bang. Captain America: Civil War is Thor and The Hulk away from being a full blown Avengers movie and it squashes most of the rest of the MCU flicks like the proverbial grape. It’s awesome. I’m not going to start it tonight though. There’s a new episode of That Pedal Show that I haven’t watched yet, and they are going to talk about wet/dry rigs using stereo speaker cabinets and that is going to sound mega.

In closing though, why weren’t The Hulk and Thor in Civil War? Simple. Whichever side had them was guaranteed to win. I mean, they could have split them up, but saving them for the buddy cop vibe in Ragnarok was a stroke of pop-culture genius.

The Downside of New Floors

The downside of having new floors in the cellar is putting stuff on them so we can’t see them any more.

The contractor said it was okay to bring some stuff downstairs, so long as we keep the base of the walls clear.

Did You Think I Forgot About the Marvel Rewatch?

I haven’t had an update on the Marvel rewatch in like three days. Did I stop? Did I forget about it?

Hells no! It just took me three days to get through the next movie!

I started Age of Ultron in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, watched a little more this morning, and then finished it off tonight before bed. It’s far and away the weakest of the four Avengers movies. Five, if you count Captain America: Civil War as an Avengers movie because it pretty much is. I still think it’s a great movie though. Ultron the character makes a major comeback in the What If? series on Disney+, if you’re interested in a little more. I guess you could read the books too, if that’s your thing.

Up next is Ant-Man, when our friends in the MCU take the funny from Guardians and bring it down to Earth. After that, I guess we’re into Phase Three.

13 movies down, 14 to go.
