  1. The edit never crossed my mind with you, @Curt McGirt Rosemary update: GFW:
  2. Mine in order as of today though it might change with posters/trailers/clips: 1. Avengers: Infinity War. 2. Deadpool 2. 3. Black Panther 4. Ant-Man and the Wasp 5. X-Men: Dark Phoenix 6. Venom 7. TV 8. X-Men: The New Mutants 9. Silver and Black 10. Aquaman 11. Spider-Man animated film with Miles Morales. Avengers: Infinity War marks the 10 year anniversary of Marvel Studios’ Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanos’ plan comes together. This has big anticipation and can it deliver on them? The Russo Brothers are 2-0 with their MCU films, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. Hopefully they take a hat-trick. More Avengers Assemble, less Avengers: Age of Ultron. Deadpool 2 has to contend with expectations more than the original did. I wasn’t going to see Deadpool at the cinema but the marketing campaign and positive reviews meant I did and I’m glad. A very funny film, hopefully lightning can strike twice. I liked Black Panther’s brief debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016) so be interesting to see a movie around him. Origin stories in comic books and comic book films are a favourite of mine. Credit to Ant-Man turning out the way it did when Edgar Wright left over creative differences so Peyton Reed became the new director. I’d like Ant-Man and the Wasp to keep the heists angle going and the mentorship between Dr Hank Pym, Scott Lang and now Hope van Dyne. Interestingly this comes out after Avengers: Infinity War. It would be cool to see a film set before this and we get a “Events in this film takes place before Avengers: Infinity War” card. X-Men: Dark Phoenix will hopefully do a better job than the original did with the story. One of the biggest comic book disappointments ever was Bryan Singer not finishing the original X-Men trilogy with the great job he did with X-Men and especially X2 instead going to Superman Returns. Fox mutants’ film has put out a few duffers but when they’re on, they’re really on. See X2, Logan and Deadpool. I didn’t expect Sony Pictures to do a Venom film plus Silver and Black hoping instead they would leave Marvel Studios to writing the Spider-Man ship/fortunes as they have done but Sony Pictures has to do a Sony Pictures. Venom has my interest for the character and Tom Hardy playing him. Black Cat does little for me and Silver Sable nothing so I’m out for that one. For TV, I watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Marvel Netfllix shows. I liked Gotham Season One for the most part but I wasn’t interested in carrying on when the second season debuted. I’m guessing from X-Men: The New Mutants title will tell the tale of Professor Xavier’s newest mutant recruits? Aquaman the character looks good from what we’ve seen of him. We’ll see how he turns out in Justice League. I liked the announcement Spider-Man was getting an animated film hoping it would do justice to Peter Parker, this was before Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming nailed him. I also liked the directors, Lord and Miller from the Lego Movie. My interest dropped when it was announced which Spider-Man it was. I like Miles Morales but I’d have preferred a different Spider lead in Peter, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man 2099 and not happening ones in SpOck and Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker. Hopefully alternate spiders will show.
  3. At smarkschoice I ask which superhero film you’re most interested in for the following year. This is the third year I’ve done it here and I don’t know what took me so long to bring it over. I placed TV in one category as I didn’t want to miss any out by name. Here’s 2018 (listed by month on release via Wikipedia): Black Panther (February) X-Men: The New Mutants (April) Avengers: Infinity War (May) Deadpool 2 (June) Ant-Man and the Wasp (July) Silver and Black (August) Venom (October) X-Men: Dark Phoenix (November) Spider-Man animated film with Miles Morales (December) Aquaman (December) TV I’ve set a multiple choice vote. I’m expecting Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 to be the rightful top vote getters. EDIT: This made for a fun challenge with the topic title, poll question and options not showing, you've to highlight them to see if correct.
  4. My longer thoughts on the Defenders…I enjoyed the Defenders mainly for the interactions between the group. Daredevil was the MVP, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage stand out. Iron Fist however for the wrong reasons, he’s the weak link in performance and people pointing out his ineptitude in story. I really liked Colleen Wong, his friend. She’s better than he is. Hopefully the Hand is handled (ugh at pun) here for the final time. A flashback to Alexandra’s past would have been appreciated like the Kingpin’s most memorably and Kilgrave. Where do the Defenders place among the Netflix shows I’ve seen? Daredevil: Season One is clearly on top followed by Jessica Jones Season One. Daredevil Season Two had higher highs with Daredevil/the Kingpin/the Punisher but Elektra/the Hand story strand brought the series down. I’d have the Defenders above it seeing the characters come together, their reactions to one another and I prefer the Hand here. As noted, I’m hopeful this is the last of them. Shame Steven DeKnight isn’t back. I wonder how Daredevil: Season Two and the Defenders would have turned out. Going by Daredevil Season One, both would be an improvement. Do you prefer the longer 13 episode run or 8? For me that depends on pacing, only Daredevil Season One has managed it. Jessica Jones: Season One went on a little too long as did Daredevil: Season Two. Daredevil Season Two was too stuffed. I felt the Defenders took a little while to get going considering it only had 8 episodes. I think I’d go for 10-12 though again, it’s how the time is managed.
  5. Sasha Banks is the best women’s wrestler in WWE. Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax all had their best matches with Sasha Banks. Sasha Banks is a 4 time WWE RAW Women’s Champion, her fourth reign ending to Alexa Bliss on this week’s RAW. Sasha Banks has never sucessfully defended the title. Banks’ first and third reign is tied for her longest, 27 days. Banks’ last reign is the shortest in the title’s history at 8 days. Baffling booking/treatment of the Legit Boss. Bah.
  6. I’m creating this topic as I’m looking forward to two big first time matches in Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE Universal Championship and John Cena vs. Roman Reigns. We figured both would be at WrestleMania XXXIV but WWE’s giving them away here. I feel that’s a mistake. In Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE Universal Championship, you have protected wrestlers who rarely lose. Braun has really imrpved this year, he needs the win more and should become the new WWE Universal Champion. I’m confident Roman Reigns beats John Cena, the match and the crowd reactions be something with both dividing fans opinions.
  7. There's locker rooms for men and women, Cody . Sexy Star's name and what she's done to Rosemary are the only things I know about her.
  8. Fuck Sexy Star. Inexcusable. Hope the wrestling community continue to shit on what she's done.
  9. After reading about it, I've just watched the video and it's made me angry. To go out and hurt someone. Fucking scum. Best wishes, Rosemary.
  10. Sounds like the fight and Conor's performance turned out better than expected. Well done, Conor.
  11. My top two WWE matches this year, Tyler Bate vs. Pete Dunne at NXT TakeOver: Chicago #1.
  12. I went ****1/2 for Asuka vs. Ember Moon. This match and Sasha Banks vs. Bayley at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and NXT Takeover: Respect are the three best matches in the history of the company with the Respect match topping the list.
  13. I'l put this in spoilers for photo/details from wwe.com
  14. I can see why depending on the commentating ; )
  15. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/wonder_woman/avatar-director-james-cameron-calls-wonder-woman-a-step-backwards-for-female-representation-on-screen-a153466 Shut up, James Cameron: Patty Jenkins: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/wonder_woman/wonder-woman-director-patty-jenkins-responds-to-james-camerons-controversial-comments-a153473
  16. Respect, John Cena. Chcukled at this. Batman represetation will nearly always get a likeness from me ; ).
  17. I'd LOL and then some if get a redo McGregor vs. Aldo ; ). I'll be listening to BBC Radio 5 Live for the commentary by Mike Costello, best British commentator and Steve Bunce. I'm usually up every day at 4am, sometimes earlier.
  18. Is there a deadline set? Dipshit here forgot about this poll. Better late than never ; ). Fuck, forgot about the documentaries as well.
