JuJutsu

I'm a huge fan of the Runaways comic. I'm a huge fan of James Marsters. Yet hearing it might, slightly, somewhat, perhaps, kinda tie-in with Wandavision is what is finally going to make me watch the show

Just a little over a week until

I keep thinking I've actually posted in here when I haven't lol I LOVED that the whole Pietro thing was a red herring (naturally I got a good laugh in at "Ralph Bohner") For me it made all the speculation and stuff tie up in a fun way. I wanted the Mephisto thing to be real for a while because that's something I'm vaaaaaaguely familiar with so I thought it'd be really cool to have it happen but I loved the way things went. I was so wary of this series (mini series? What does this qualify as?) for so long but it proved itself more and more with every ep and man, it was just fun. And a gut punch. I liked the horror aspect to it, I liked the themes, I liked the heart and emotions, I liked seeing smaller characters come back, I liked the way they worked magic into the canon, I dunno I just liked it all I'm just.... pleased with this. hooray!

Not that this sentiment is exactly the same thing, but I don't get all the people upset about the fan theories that didn't pan out. Personally, I just enjoyed the ride.

I'm going to assume Wanda is in the movie because Strange is going to help her save her kids from hell or some other dimension of some kind. I assume by friend she meant Captain Marvel/Nick Fury like Kyle said. Looks like the setup for Secret Invasion stuff (which I forgot was going to be a TV show) and I'm thinking it's going to be Fury/Talos and the good Skrulls vs a rogue group of Skrulls or something. Fury definitely has a bunch of the good ones embedded deep. Definitely enjoyed the series. Last episode did a great job buttoning things up and all was not just forgiven like it never happened either. I really enjoyed how the story really gave Wanda a huge bunch of character development that there is just no time to do in an Avengers movie because they're huge events. These TV shows could really go a long way to really letting us learn more about some of the characters that aren't big enough necessarily for their own movie. I thought the red herring with Pietro was fine but it seemed kind of mean spirited. I'm also really glad they expanded upon Wanda to have it be legit magic and not just that "miracles" shit from the stone. Fleshes her character out a lot more and gives her more shit to do. Retcons like this I am always down for. It's well done.

It was actually up a bit before midnight, so I got a slightly early jump on it. That was a really satisfying ending, IMO, even if a lot of the fan theories didn't come to fruition. Finding out that Agatha turned Ralph into Pietro was a nice laugh, especially his "heh, boner". Also holy shit, that was the Darkhold, that's awesome. I'm really curious what's gonna happen with the white Vision, I know old Vision basically gave white Vision his memories, but it'll be interesting to learn what comes of it. The last few minutes before everything wraps up had me on the verge of tears, and when Vision went away I just started crying. I was surprised to find out that it was only 40 minutes long, as it felt like twice that (but in a good way!) Oh, and for anyone that didn't realize it, there were actually two credits scenes, one in the middle and one after. So the friend the Skrull woman told Monica about has to be Talos, right? And finally, Wanda reading through the Darkhold can't be a good sign...

What to binge in preparation for tonight's finale, according to Marvel. Better start now, you've got 8 movies to watch before midnight. ?
