Unpopular Opinions

Okay, so I wanted to make a post that is sorta different from all my other posts. In other words not fangirling.  So I decided to make a post of my unpopular opinions. As a quick disclaimer I don’t mean to hate on anyone or anything these are just my opinions and if you feel free please leave a comment down below. (Preferably not a mean comment)

Archive of Our Own vs Wattpad

Okay so maybe not completely off the whole fangirl area but this is something I wanted to talk about. Wattpad is probably the most popular fanfiction site but in my opinion. Archive of Our Own is so much better. Archive of Our Own has some of the most amazing stories I’ve read and I think they really blow the other sites out of the park.

Beyonce

Okay before anyone gets mad I’m not saying I hate her or anything. I’m just saying I never really listened to her music. I know a lot of people worship her but I just don’t and I never really found myself listening to her songs. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t think that she uses her influence to help other people.

Pineapple on pizza is amazing. It is the perfect amount of sweet and savory. End of Story.

Harry Potter

I probably mentioned this before but I don’t think that Harry Potter is a great as everybody says it is. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad series and I actually quite like it. But in my opinion, I wish that another series would be allowed to have the spotlight. Because it got so big often people would only read the one series claim it to be their favorite and never read another book again. Every time I go to the book store there is always this huge monument for the series right at the front and I think a newer series should be given a shot. There are so many unique series with amazing characters and in my opinion have a lot of things that Harry Potter never had.

The Disney Live Action Remakes Aren’t That Good

I love the look of Disney renaissance and I don’t really like the live action remakes that Disney has been making. The new remakes don’t have the same charm and I wished instead they would just make new movies instead of the remakes.

Showering at Night is Better

So apparently this is an unpopular opinion. From where I am this isn’t true everyone showers at night. But for everyone else showering at night is better. Who wants to go to bed still filled with the dirt and sweat from that day. Also, don’t you want to feel relaxed when you go to sleep?

So those are a few of my unpopular opinions and I hope you enjoyed reading them. If you agree or disagree with me please let me know in the comments.

Top MCU Movies You Need to Watch

Hey, so I decided to list the MCU movies that you need to watch. I would just like to say I’m not trying to say that the movies that I didn’t talk about here are bad these are just the top ones that in my opinion, you need to watch. I love all the M 

-Infinity War 

This was kinda the lead up to all the films (aside from endgame) This is the movie we finally saw all the heroes come together and I think it’s a movie you need to watch. There were so many emotional moments and the cinematography was amazing. 

-Captain America the Winter Solider

I already talked about this in another post but this film’s tone was so different and I think they used the characters really well in the movie.

-Iron Man

This is the movie that started it all and I got to say watching it makes me fall in love with it all over again. The CGI is really impressive and the characters are amazing. They did Iron Mans origin story justice. This movie always has a nostalgic feel to it and I think it’s a must watch.

-Galaxy of the Guardians 

This movie is pretty different from the MCU. The characters are outlaws and their not exactly well-developed people as well. Their kinda a broken family. But they grow together and it’s heartwarming to see. Aside from that, the action is fun and unique and the movie is hilarious.

-Thor Ragnorock 

This movie is a lot higher on the list compared to Thors other movies. But with a new director, this movie is amazing. The movie is fun and lighthearted but still, there is a heavier plot that still shows. The characters feel better and more alive than any of the old Thor movies. 

-Captain America Civil War

A lot of people have to admit that this is a good movie. It’s one of the darker movies of the MCU but you need to watch it. You know it’s a good movie when people today still debate who was right. Cap or Tony. There were so many amazing scenes that make you geek out and a lot of scenes where you can’t help but cry. They also introduced a couple new characters that will later play a big role in the franchise. 

-Black Panther

Everyone and their mother knows about this movie. This movie did really well and there is a reason why. This movie has great costumes and props and they have a really good villain. They introduced a place and it almost felt like a completely different world. The characters and technology in this movie are incredible and so is the soundtrack.

-Avengers

The first Avengers is a must watch. This is the first movie where the Avengers come together. I have to say that the first Avengers by far isn’t the best Marvel movie but it was a huge milestone and the first time that the characters meet and grow. The movie is fun if you haven’t watched it you sorta have to.
-Doctor Strange 

I admit this may be a bit biased but I do think that Doctor Strange is an important movie to watch. It’s the first time you actually introduced to the magic world and it’s beautiful. The CGI is incredible and Stephen Strange is a great main character. It’s fun to watch and Doctor Strange does play a big role in the later movies so I do believe you should watch it. The fight scenes are new and entertaining to watch and the element of magic is something you can’t help but be excited for. 

-Spider-Man Homecoming

Spiderman is said to be an important part of the MCU and he is. This movie is the first Spiderman movie in the MCU and Peter Parker is perfect in this movie. The story is full of growth and Tony and Peter have a great relationship. They get the teenage feel in the movie and it’s cool to really see what a superhero world would be like for a normal person. They have some great scenes and the villain is not one dimensional. 

So that’s pretty much my list. I have to admit there are more movies that you should watch but I think these ones are the movies that you should watch at least. If you disagree that’s fine because this is all opinion based. Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Captain America: The Winter Solider

Captain America: The Winter Soldier has a different tone to a lot of the other films in Marvel. But the Russo’s did an excellent job on the film. I’m going to have a lot of spoilers in this rant so if you haven’t watched you should go watch it and come back when you’re done.

This film in a way a lot more like a spy/thriller movie compared to the rest. A lot of it is based on people or enhanced human beings and it’s based on Captain America that is working outside of the law against a corrupt government organization. This movie is my favorite Cap movie. In Avengers one he was sorta reduced to a guy who wasn’t used to the world at all. Admittedly he wasn’t the most interesting in the movie. Cap in the First Avengers was a good guy and was very charming. He was just a good guy through and through and in his eye’s the world is pretty black and white. But Winter Soldier is completely different from those two movies.

In this movie, it’s been some time since Cap came out of the ice and he had some time to adjust to the world around him. He really has the full extent of his powers in this movie and he knows what he’s doing. He’s not clueless like before and he actually a lot more easy going. He’s still Cap no doubt about it but he’s smarter and he also feels a lot more like a person. But then again he’s a lot stronger than the past movies and it finally seems like he’s just not a glorified human but an enhanced super soldier.

The movie from the start introduces a new character. Sam Wilson. I instantly liked this character. Sam and Steve immediately hit it off and connect through both of them have been part of the military. I don’t know how but they made Sam(The Falcon) incredibly entertaining and they made me love the dynamic between him and Steve. They work well together and in fights, they prove to be really efficient. Steve and Natasha’s relationship improve a lot in the movie and I got to say that it made me like Natasha a lot more. I always thought Black Widow was a cool and a great character but in the other movies you never really see any emotional part of her. In the Winter Soldier, we finally get to know her and I really liked her in the movie. Her and Cao become closer and they make as really good friends. Also, Black Widow finally gets to use her skills in the movie and I got to say she is one powerful character. Of course lastly, we have to talk about Bucky. I haven’t really read the comic books so the reveal actually was a surprise for me. But it made sense on why it affected Steve so much throughout the movie and the way it ended with Steve not fighting Bucky. In the movie, their story isn’t over but we see that Bucky might just be able to be more than the Winter Soldier.

This movie has so many amazing things to it and I have to say that the directors did an amazing job. The. fight scenes and choreography were amazing in this film and they applied it really well with their characters. There were so many amazing moments and this movie is by far one of my favorite MCU movies. I hope you enjoyed me gushing about Captain America: The Winer soldier.

Thanks for reading!

Thor Ragnorock

Avengers Endgame came out only a few days ago but then I thought that that might end up spoiling the movie for my classmates so I decided to instead talk about some of my favorite movies from the Infinity Saga. So I wanted to talk about Thor Ragnorock. Also if it isn’t obvious there are spoilers for Thor Ragnorock.

If I’m being completely honest I have to say I didn’t really like Thor all that much until this movie. Don’t get me wrong I liked him but he was never a favorite. Also Thor the Dark World wasn’t the best MCU movie either. But when Thor Ragnorock came it changed a lot. They got a new director for the movie and everything changed. In all the movies beforehand Thor had this whole medieval thing with the way he speaks and he was always so serious and seemed so far away compared to the other heroes in the MCU. The movies were usually kinda dark and had very rare moments of lightheartedness.

Thor Ragnorock is a comedy and the movie has everything you want in a superhero movie. The characters were amazing in these movies. Even characters you’ve already known from other movies had a new sense of vibrancy to them especially Thor. The action is so fun and choreographed in a very interesting way. They used each character well in the way they fought and had new and interesting ways that they fought. The props and set were made really well and while looking at the screen there was so much detail and color. This movie is hilarious and yet it had its moments where it really pulled at your heartstrings.

Now let’s talk about what happened in the movie. Right off the bat the movie kinda takes everything away from the old movies and I got to say no ones really complaining. It was kind hinted at in the second movie that the whole Loki pretending to be Odin was going to be the main plot in the net movie but in the movie that was immediately resolving that. They take away his hammer. Then they take away his hair. (Which in my opinion looks better that way) And they end up doing a lot more but we’re not there yet. The fight scene in the arena between Thor and Hulk was really fun to watch. It was both funny and entertaining. Thor using his power without his hammer and getting a taste for how much power he has made me really excited for the rest of the movie. Hulk kinda being a bit more intelligent was a little unsettling at first but in a way it made sense and it was fun to watch too. Valkaryie is a fun addition and I really want to know more about her past. Loki and Thor’s scenes were the best by far. Every scene was pure gold and it really was accurate with how siblings actually act with each other. The scene where Thor finally unlocks his full potential and uses his power is a sight to behold. The music playing in the background and him crashing down towards the fighters on the rainbow bridge was amazing.

There are so many things that I want to talk about but this post is getting a bit long so I think I’m going to end it here. This movie is a really amazing addition the MCU and it made me love Thor so much. There was a lot of heart to it and it’s a fun twist to a classic superhero movie. I hoped you enjoyed reading my rant about this movie!

Thanks for reading!
