In.

Looks like they’re totally abandoning his backstory and such tho. Which was to be expected given who his father was. Would’ve been nice to see some supporting cast and basis of the comics.

People are saying that's Abomination at the end. I'm too lazy to watch Hulk and check.

Abomination is in She-Hulk.

Some sweet ass fights in this. We saw it at a drive in, so I think I would've liked better in a theater.

After credits scene is probably the true start of Phase 4. The whole movie ties into the MCU more than I thought.

Yeah. Phase 4 looks like it’s going to build around the Ten Rings. With a culmination in Fantastic Four. That leads me to believe
Spoiler: show
the beacon the rings were sending out were for Galactus. Especially since they’re made of something not even Wong and his fellow sorcerers know of.

VERY interesting that Bruce is just back to Bruce again. And his arm is still fucked up. After seeing Abomination and then Bruce at the end, I’m VERY excited for She-Hulk.

I didn’t like how they brought so much of the Iron Fist stuff into it. Hidden city that only appears every so often… Heart of the dragon… Master Khan…

Loved they made the abomination look more like his comic book self but I’m left wondering where won’t was taking him to. the choreography and fight scenes were very well done.

The ending with the soul suckers was the only downside for me

It was Ok. The ending was a bit whatever.

I’m not the biggest Awkwafina fan tbh.


It had its moments. The bus scene, Wong and Abomination. All the fight sequences were excellent.

I think I enjoyed black widow more than this one

Yeah, the fight scenes were pretty epic, crazy choreography.

The fight on the outside of the skyscraper reminded of Jackie Chan's style of moves.

Too much time spent in flashbacks for me.

And Ben Kingsley. Funny shit.

1st after credit: Bruce looks a lot older. And Capt. Marvel having to suddenly leave...

2nd after credit: of course she's gonna be the new villain.

I’m not certain but wasn’t the director part of Jackie Chans group? I thought I heard that

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the first half. When I watched the second half the next day it didn’t hit the same. Not sure if it was me splitting it up or if the second half was the issue.
