I did MCU movie marathon with my 66 year old mom. (part 3)
I watched most of MCU movies with my mom when i visited during holidays. Here is what she thought.
(This is part 3)
Deadpool & Wolverine - 7/10. Liked it. Really liked Logan in this, was bit annoyed by Wade. LOVED Cassandra Nova. Asked me why is she bald, i answered maybe telepathy powers causes hair loss. She said that must not be it since Charles had great hair when he was young. I was so proud. She also said movie is 6/10 but adding one point because of Logan's rant scene. She loved that scene.
Captain America : Brave New World - 5/10. It was fine. She did not like Harrison Ford's performance as Ross. Prefered William Hurt much much better she said. Really liked Ross turning into hulk himself. Did not like Sam's fight scenes on ground. She asked me multiple times, why is he moving so slow? Finally she said this is not captain america movie, its a Hulk movie.
Thunderbolts\\\* - 7/10. Liked it. She said this movie is 2 hour long therapy session. LOVED Walker, Liked Elena, Liked Red Guardian, Didnt care much about Ghost, Liked both Bob and Sentry, as usual big fan of Bucky. She said movie lacked maybe one more fight scene. Loved New Avengers thing and said they are one Tony Stark short from being Avengers lite.
Fantastic Four: First Steps - 8/10. Loved every single scene until the ending. Escaping from Galactus' ship scene she specifically loved. Really liked how Fantastic Four are each very smart. Loved Silver Surfer but said Galactus was just fine. She did not like the ending. Said Sue was the "asspull" off the crew. She loved Sue but also said "she will keep being both weakest and strongest person in crew isnt she?"
I asked her top 10 characters. She took it very seriously and looked through her notes to give me a list.
1. Zemo
2. Ultron
3. Captain America
4. Tony Stark
5. High Evolutionary
6. Thanos
7. Xu Wenwu
8. Hela
9. Rocket
10. Doctor Strange
Honorable Mention : Darcy, Vision, Frigga, Bucky, Vulture

Do you think there will be another project that’s already out getting up there too or even going above 9.5?
As for the top ten list, daaamn, I'm also a huge MCU Zemo fan, I never saw why Ultron was so dimly viewed - it's a solid MCU movie - and I've collected for 40 years. High Evolutionary has always been one of my favorite villains. His MCU portrayal was...fine.
your mom's list of characters is so awesome too. i literally fist pumped to see that we have similar taste ☕️
Edit: And looking at your other posts, your mother definitely seems like a product of her time. I’ll leave it at that 😅
Calling Sue the weakest and strongest was very interesting on various levels especially for those who know the characters from 50+ years ago.
I was marinating on that and I thought well isn’t that Bob
Powerless Bob loses to powerless Sue
Powered Bob as far as we know loses to nobody 🤔
This was great 🔥
Wow. My bf and I found it so painful to slog through we left early
