Pro Tip:

Do not be swayed by all the (mostly wite cis) “anti-woke” nerd fanboy hate online surrounding this movie. Go in with an Open Mind and enjoy it as a fun movie with endearing characters - period. 🙏🏾

The trio of Monica Rambeau, Carol Danvers and (the scene stealing) Ms Marvel are heartwariming, funny, powerful and super entertaining IMHO.

Iman Vellani in particular as Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel and her onscreen family just burst joyously out of the screen for me. And on top of that, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury is very much Furying in this film in all the best ways lol 🙌🏾.

Go see The Marvels and decide for yourself if you like it or not.

Everything else is just noise.

Oh also - STAY FOR THE POST CREDIT SCENE! Especially if you’re a big MCU fan or a big Marvel Comics fan! 😉

Higher. Further. Faster. 🫡

This is great news. I hope we can do this for so many other species as well 🙏🏾

Age of Ultron is a great movie. It's only categorized as ''bad'' because it came after one of the best superhero movies of all time, Avengers (2012). Once you realize that nothing could come close to the 1st Avengers movie, you'll see that AOU has many great things to offer.

I hope this reminded you how low-key awesome this movie is

Wholeheartedly agree with this post. Also, if you rewatch Age Of Ultron after having seen WandaVision then Age Of Ultron hits even more different tbh. 🙌🏾

In addition, I loooove this scene right here, where the Avengers are all hanging out in Tony’s Avengers Tower penthouse and they joke that any one of them could theoretically lift Thor’s hammer and Thor is like “have at it hoss”…👇🏾

All the Avengers try to lift Thor’s hammer but nobody succeeds cause they’re all “unworthy”…

Well… almost all the Avengers - because Black Widow refuses to try lifting Mjolnir, saying she doesn’t need to know if she could lift it or not… (which is a huge Easter Egg because in the comics at one point Natasha DID wield Thor’s hammer)

And then at the end of the scene it looks like Mjolnir shifts a tiny bit for Cap which momentarily has Thor worried, but then Thor relaxes again when Cap ultimately doesn’t lift it off the table lol.

Later in that same movie the hammer lifting scene is paid off when a newly born Vision picks up Thor’s hammer and hands it to Thor nonchalantly, not realising the significance of what’s he just done. 🙌🏾

Long live Avengers Age Of Ultron!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The Mandalorian S3E4 - The Youngling (2023)

Kelleran Beq, nicknamed “The Sabered Hand,” was a   Jedi Master who served in the Jedi Order. He was often assisted by the protocol droid AD-3 and the astromech droid LX-R5, and served aboard the starship Athylia.

During the Siege of the Jedi Temple, Beq successfully escaped the temple with the aid of sympathetic Royal Naboo Security Forces members, fleeing Coruscant with the youngling Grogu.  

Kelleran Beq is portrayed by Ahmed Best.

If you didn’t know, actor Ahmed Best was previously infamous for being viciously hated on by online Star Wars “fans” for doing the motion capture and voice acting for the JarJar Binks character in George Lucas’ tepidly receieved prequel films.

The backlash against him was so severe in fact, that Best later admitted that he almost committed suicide as a result of depression fueled by that fan hate.

Thankfully, though he contemplated it seriously, Ahmed never actually unalived himself by leaping off the Brooklyn Bridge, and today we can celebrate his triumphant return to the Star Wars universe, playing Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, who we now discover was the person that saved Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) from being slaughtered with the other Younglings during the Order 66 massacre. 🙌🏾

IMHO this is the ultimate comeback story. So happy for Ahmed and truly thankful to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau and their whole team on The Mandalorian for bringing Ahmed onto Season 3 Episode 4: “The Foundling”.

May the Force be with you Ahmed! ✊🏾

RIP Trugoy The Dove, De La Soul co-founder/rapper 🙏🏾

I found out this news late af but I’m not gonna lie this one hit me HARD. 😢

Back in high school, De La Soul was everything I aspired to. They are the rap group that made me want to seriously do music.

Their crazy ass rhymes and daring use of sampling Old School classic records and turning them into a whole new sound (big up their producer on the first album, DJ Prince Paul) just blew my teenaged mind at the same. I had loved Run-DMC, Boogie Down Productions, UTFO, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick etc before they came along but once I heard their debut single “Plug Tuning” they became the nee standard that I aspired to.

Right after my high school best friend Anton Lewis heard that sontg, he immediately renamed himself the rapper A Le Wiz and I became MC Number One lol (tbh I first used the name MC EZ Rock but then Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock came out with “It Takes Two” so I had to change it lol).

Then we got our hands on De La Soul’s debut album “3 Feet High And Rising” and became even more obsessed with their super intelligent and poetic rhyme style that didn’t focus on sounding “tough” or “street”.

Songs like “Potholes In My Lawn”, “The Magic Nunber” and “Buddy” featuring The Jungle Bros, Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah and even more.

And then their mosnter jam “Me Myself And I” became THE JAM of summer 1989 and literally everyone worldwide knew and loved De La Soul which made me super happy and proud. 😊

Thank you Posdnous, Trugoy The Dove and DJ Pace Master Mase for so many years of great music and even greater memories over the years to the soundtrack of later hits like “Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)”, “A Rollerskating Jam Called ‘Saturdays’”.

Not to mention Trugoy The Dove’s awesome feature on the hook of A Tribe Called Quest’s classic, “Award Tour”. 🙌🏾 (RIP to my all time fave Trini rapper Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, who passed away back in 2016🕊️)

Rest In Power to the icon, David Jude Jolicoeur AKA Trugoy The Dove. Thanks for everything. De La Soul forever! 🙏🏾

Reblogging my own post to add this 👇🏾

Please support the surviving members of De La Soul along with Trugoy's family by taking the time to stream their catalog, which has only recently become available on all streaming platforms!

@mistavybe ‘s recent post about De La Soul sent me down a De La rabbit hole while I was trying to draft some work shit, and I was reminded of the absolute jam that is Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey), and damn if it didn’t take me back to the late 80s and early 90s when I was a freshly minted “adult” and was having a grand old time with this and A Rollerskating Jam named Saturdays and Say No Go SAY NO GO gatDAMN!

and not for nothing but in my rabbitholing I discovered this sax-driven instrumental version of Ring Ring Ring that *SLAYS* gatDAMN that BASSLINE SAMPLE with that sax over it? fuck outa heah!

Reposting this both because i’m honoured that my post touched @trinilikesalt enough to send him down a De La Soul rabbithole, AND ALSO because It gives me an opportunity to post one of my fave De La videos of all time that I didn’t get to include in my original post - “Say No Go”. 🙌🏾

Heck, while i’m here, could ask well throw in another fave off their first album - “Eye Know”. 👍🏾👍🏾

Again, RIP to Trugoy The Dove. 🙏🏾

The cast have said recently that nobody has guessed who the new Black Panther is. That means Shuri is out.

I want it to be Queen Ramonda then.

I’ve been rooting for Okoye to be the new Black Panther all along.

If we’re being honest, she was arguably even more qualified to be the Black Panther than T’Challa in terms of combat/fighting skills. Hell, she even mopped up his mess by taking out a shooter with a machine gun that one time when he saw Nakia and froze on the battlefield, just as she had previously predicted he would lol 💁🏾‍♂️

She’s a great leader, especially in combat, given that she’s the Commander of the Dora Milaje.

And her loyalty and sense of duty to the Kingdom of Wakanda (and her willingness to make sacrifices for it) is unquestionable. 👇🏾

So in closing, I nominate General Okoye to be the new Black Panther. 🙅🏾‍♂️ Someone forward this to Kevin Feige and Ryan Coogler, please and thanks?! 🙏🏾
