What happened, happened...
I think they made up the story as they went. Plus, I think Marvel got sold to three different companies from the time Iron Man came out...something like that.
It's funny, nobody bats an eye at nano technology in the marvel universe, but in G.I.JOE it ruined the franchise.

I heard Ant-Man 3 is cancelled and it will be made into a Disney+ series. I do want to see the next Spider-Man: Far From Home, but I'm not going to steal it, I'll get a copy next month. Doctor Strange was pretty bland, watchable, but when I think of magic/occult, I wanted something a lot more creepy, but it was just your typical Marvel movie.

Deadpool 2, I liked it :-)
I was worried about how they would do Cable, but I loved it :-)
I heard Disney will continue Deadpool with the same actor Ryan Reynolds, I would enjoy seeing more Deadpool movies.

I was a huge X-Force fan back in the day, so I enjoyed Deadpool 2 very much.

Honestly I never knew about Deadpool until the movie came out. I was like, "Where have you been all my life?" :-)

Its funny, he was introduced as an afterthought, some other mutant was supposed to be this big deal, but the merc with a mouth was much more fun for fans to get behind. (obviously his adaption in Wolverine X-Men origins movie was bad, very bad, lol).

I did see the Spider-Man Far From Home movie.. hmmm, you know, I have one big problem with the MCU Spider-Man: Uncle Ben. You lose the pathos of Peter Parker, that guilt he feels for not stepping in when he could have/should have. We've gotten this idea of him being mentored by Iron Man/Tony Stark. Which is fine on some level, but on another level, Spider-Man is not Robin. He is not anyone's side kick, one day to take up the mantle type deal. Also, this idea of "who's going to be the next Iron Man?" Spider-Man isn't a futurist for one thing, but I do get the meta level, who's going to be the poster boy for the MCU now that RD Jr is out. I also think the movie kind of does this vacation bits I've seen done much better other comedy movies. The one moment I felt was decent when Happy refocuses Spider-Man, "What are YOU going to do about it?" But that is buried beneath the Iron Man/I just wanna go on vacation stuff. I think the MCU take on Spider-Man has serious flaws.
2 1/2 stars out of 4.

I still need to see it. Yeah, I feel like Spider-Man doesn't need technology...except his web shooters. I love his home made costume the best.

They do weird things with Spider-Man adaptions. Like that Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon had him recruited and mentored by Nick Fury, then he leads other teen heroes. Sure, something different, but Spidey is best solo and he doesn't need someone without powers to be his Professor Obi-Whatever.
I've still never seen of Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 kind of operates in that Batman Forever zone. Getting way too campy, but not Batman and Robin bad yet. The problem that series had is the love interest was the single best acting/presence on screen, and they do this really bad adaption of her death. They planned on putting Mary Jane in the movie, but those scenes got cut.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE - Almost decided to skip this one, because the negative SJW/Feminism hype and that it bombed so no "new trilogy" (Like the last 2 movies wanted to start). As an action chase movie it's not that bad. I'd almost say it's better than Terminator 3, because at least this has an original movie cast member back besides Arnold. But really, the Terminator story should've ended with T2. Now it probably ends after the 3rd attempt to restart.
Not a must see in theaters film, but okay entertainment.
5/10

I still have to watch it. I was excited, but the more previews they put out, the more I didn't really care. You're right, T2 should have been the end...Universal Studios T2-3D was a nice continuation.
You were like standing in line to visit the Skynet corporation and there's this opening video while you are waiting in line and some cute girl is talking about the new military hunter killers and then John and Sarah Connor (the original actors) hack into the system and broadcast a resistance message, the feed cuts out and they act like everything is normal.
You then walk into a big theater, and the girl doing the presentation shows off the new terminators, and they come up out of the ground and start shooting mini guns across the room (it was fucking loud!!!) then there's some kind of security breach, and John Connor and Arnold break in (fake look alike actors in real life) on stage, and they open up a time portal and the T-1000 shows up, but Arnold blasts him (like in T2 before the T-1000 can hop on the elevator) and they hop through the portal. Then it's like you are watching a movie in the theater, (the real actors) John and Arnold are in the future riding on a Harley Davidson, avoiding Hunter Killers, this goes on for a while, and they break into the future Skynet, and try to blow it up. This time a T-One Million attacks and it's 3-D it's like a giant liquid metal Octopus/Spider thing. Anyway, they blow up the T-One Million into billions of specs and they sprayed a light mist of water on you, so if felt like it touched you. Then they opened up a time portal and came back.
That's how I remember it anyway. Better than any new Terminator movie I've seen since.

Hmm. I always thought Terminator had a big problem. Movie one dealt with fatalism, while movie two dealt with, actually, no, you can define your own fate. What else is there to say? Sounds like movie 5 isn't half bad, but the property definitely is chasing its own tail.

It's movie 6.
Terminator
T2 Judgement Day "No fate but what we make ourselves"
Terminator 3 "No, fate can only be postponed!"
Terminator Salvation "Gave too much away in trailers"
Terminator Genysis "Convoluted mess?"
Terminator Dark Fate "Evil AI will always be sending robots back in time..."

Well, there you go. I guess Salvation and Genysis kind of fade together for me. LOL
