*snobbishly* Oh my gosh, it's not a star, she's powered from an Infinity Stone, like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, and Vision, to a degree. And don't even get me started on the SHIELD thing...
Bohemian Rhapsody.
Third time watching it. I'd say that and Adrift are my two favorites of 2018....aside from Marvel, natch.
So far nothing has quite made it onto my top list for 2019. I semi try not count Marvel as I'd end up just taking the easy way out with them and cluttering my whole list. xD
Lego Movie 2 was alright, but it didn't quite have that same....pizzazz as the first...
EDIT:/
Date: October fourth, two thousand nineteen.
Last film viewed: Joker.
Thoughts: Oh. My. God. I know, I know, I said earlier I wasn't going to include 'superhero' movies and whatnot....but damn, this movie earns its place as my top 2019 film.
Also technically, Joker is not a hero nor superpowered. So. Loophole!
It's a film where it doesn't even need the 'Batman'/comic aesthetic to work as a great film. Literally replace a few names and it's something fresh. Parts of it are lifted from the Killing Joke storyline, essentially the central 'thesis' of the book's question/focus: What happens when you have a really, really bad day. Or in Arthur Flecks aka Joker's case, a bad life.
....*cough* I admit, I was sliiiightly concerned some nut would come bursting in the show firing off an automated weapon, but hey, that just America for you.
