Marvel’s post-Endgame output has been rather patchy and I had all but given up on the whole thing by avoiding all their films and TV shows for the last 2 years. Thor: Love and Thunder was the breaking point for me.
I can remember it vividly, the excitement, the spectacle and the long drive home afterwards. Needless to say, Batman V Superman, with its convoluted exposition and overall drabness isn’t a film I hold in high regard against its peers.
A seemingly injured man being dragged away by uniformed men is the rather unconventional intro to a new dark comedy short “Smile, Smile, Smile!” from Oliver Griffiths.
