My favorite Thanksgiving movie. I haven't seen Thankskilling, but even if I had, I'm sure this would stay #1.

I am pretty mixed on Iron Man 3. I like that it shows Tony struggling to deal with the aftermath of the Battle of New York and how it is affecting his relationship with Pepper. I like the Mandarin propaganda scenes. Then on the flip side, all the stuff with the science kid is a little cheesy, and Killian just doesn't have the charisma of Justin Hammer.
Dark World has been my least favorite MCU movie since it came out.
I have trouble following the plot, and I'm not sure if it's because the names are complicated or because I can't make myself pay full attention or maybe because it's just sort of a blah plot.
I think this gets better with each watch, but ultimately at the end of the day it still should have just been a movie. I'm excited for Captain America 4 and the Thunderbolts. It's unfortunate that there will be four years between this and those.
Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis stole the show.
I love a team-up. Although The Avengers has fallen out of the MCU top 10 for me, it will always be the film that tied it all together. Loki is an all-time great MCU villain, and they did a great job giving every character their time to shine in the Battle of New York.
Favorite (Not Necessarily Best) Four From Every Year Since Birth
I very-much enjoyed Eli Roth’s <i>Thanksgiving</i>, which is now going to become a holiday staple along with (for a double-feature) <i>Pilgrim</i>.
As for <i>Thanksgiving</i> itself, Eli Roth delivered a spectacular platter, complete with some laughs, fantastic and creative kills, a storyline, and a satisfying ending (dessert).
Is there a way we can get Lizzy Caplan's character into a movie or something? Feels like a waste to have Lizzy Caplan and only do this one short.
WandaVision is my favorite MCU show. I love the episodes that each correspond with a sitcom era. They are perfectly executed, from the "in-show" plots and dialogue to the wardrobe and styling.
It is tricky to do a show-within-a-show, and WandaVision balances both parts so well. Having Jimmy Woo, Darcy, and Monica anchor the outside-the-hex plot gives you built-in interest so you don't feel like you're being pulled away from the core story, and it makes it feel so connected to the MCU as a whole. Also the return of <redacted, I'll stay spoiler free even though it has been 3 years> was so unexpected, especially the way they did it.
Elizabeth Olsen can do anything.
Thanksgiving tradition. 🦃
Robin Williams. <b>Legend</b>.
I like Thor more once a little further into the timeline, but OG Loki is excellent. The plot here just doesn't hold my interest.
