We had early tickets to see The Marvels today, and I enjoyed it so much, it was fun, easy to watch and felt paced perfectly, with the bonus of not being too long. I don't want to spoil it too much for anyone, but there were scenes that made me beam and I loved the character of Ms Marvel, she was a delight. I will spoil for this, and about the end scenes

I loved when Kate Bishop appeared at the end of the film, with a nod to the Young Avengers being formed. The first cut scene was Monica Rambeau being taken care of by Beast from the X Men, so, universes crossing. The second, was a joke, literally the sound of a kitten throwing up, and I was glad I was talking to the cinema staff about Marvel films in general and what I'd thought about this one when that happened instead of staying in the seats for it. I suspected there was nothing to see when they'd put the screen lights on, but a lot of people staying seated.



The same guy I was talking to also told us that one of the screens now had actual beds in the front row, then showed us. And I mean, James sleeps on the recliners, a bed would get him nodding off for sure. Apparently, three people can go on each bed, and you pay per bed, not per person, so would never be lying next to a stranger. Even so, I'll pass.

After that we had a mooch around MetroCentre and I bought my first Christmas present of the year. James was also going to buy a wooden t rex at the same place, but when he picked it up one of its legs had fallen off. He gave it to the stallholder, then decided he wanted to buy it because of the missing leg, so she gave it to him for free.

Also, my sparkle deer from turlough arrived!

I think everyone will know, but I love sparkle deers and every year at Christmas Turlough sends me a new knitted one, and this one is adorable to the extreme. I love it so much, thank you, Turlough ♥

so she gave it to him for free

That's awesome! And so sweet that James wanted to give the T Rex a home.

[turps]

It was a lovely surprise that she gave it for free as they weren't that cheap.

Though, I've no idea how it lost a leg as they're solid wooden figures.

[spikedluv]

Oh, I wasn't aware that movie had been released! I want to see that one. I'll have to see if it is coming to our local theater, or I might have to go farther afield to see it.

I love that James wanted the t-rex missing a leg!

What a cute sparkle deer! I love the purple. *g*

[turps]

I hope you get to see The Marvels, it was a lot of fun.

I suspected he would want the t-rex with one leg, him getting it for free was a lovely thing.

Hee, I suspected you'd like the purple.

I heard this morning that the movie didn't do as well as other Marvel movies over the weekend and the strike (not being able to promo the hell out of it) was listed as one reason. And as I immediately suspected, the fact that it was a female cast was a huge reason. Stupid dude bros need to get over themselves.

oh, a bed in the theatre could be awesome, though I'm sure I'd also pass out during the movie.

how nice James was gifted the dinosaur amputee - hope it's good company as he works on his own projects

I love that sparkle deer - the pompom nose is fabulous

[turps]

I imagine a lot of people would go to sleep if they were on a bed at the cinema. Also, try other stuff, which is why I imagine they're on the front row!

The amputee dino is sitting next to the tv atm, but I'm sure he'll be moved to the craft room and be excellent company when James is next off.

The sparkle deer is fab!

I so very rarely go see movies in theatre (last was Solo, lol) but everything I'm hearing about Marvels sounds delightful :D

CUTE DEER!! Always love seeing Turlough's knitting.

[turps]

What I liked about The Marvels was for the most part, it was fun. Yeah, lots could be said about the main cast all being female, which was great, the pacing was great too. But it's been a while since I've seen anything that made me smile so much, and i love that.

Turlough is so clever with her knitting.

[frausorge]

I have to admit I don't see the point of beds in a theater. Why not just watch it at home, at that point?

Although, the fic possibilities set up by having three to a bed...


What a super adorable deer! Turlough does the best work.

[turps]

Why not just watch it at home, at that point?

Exactly! I also think I could never feel comfortable lying on a bed in public.

I do like the way your mind works in terms of fic possibilities.

Turlough does amazing work. I love my sparkle deers.

[rikes]

OMG, that's the cutest sparkly deer ever!!!

[turps]

It really is adorable!

[turlough]

I don't really see the point of beds at the movies. But then the only thing I do in bed is sleep :-)

James has an amputee T-Rex, fun! I ordered the last of my Christmas presents this weekend so I'm feeling quite virtuous.

I love this years sparkly deer! He's so cute. And look, you can actually see some sparkles in the photo! That almost never happens.

[turps]

Yeah, I don't get the appeal of the beds at the movies either. The recliners, yeah, beds not so much.

You should feel virtuous, getting your presents sorted.

I love that you can see the sparkles in the sparkle deer, because you're right, it's hard to capture them on film. Thank you again!
