"Mulan" (2020)

I'm pretty sure Mulan's village is Belle's village from Beauty and the Beast , just redressed. I am bummed that Mushu won't make an appearance in the movie, but it may be for the best. Honestly, the original film was really the Mushu Movie because he's all everyone really remembers from the movie, with the exception of "Be a Man". With that in mind, did they substitute Mushu with a witch? I don't recall anything magic in the original film. Do we really need magic in a film that already contains martial arts? We see Mulan's father collapse on the ground when he tried to accept the call to arms. That should have indicated that he is unfit for combat. Would they have exempted him for his injury but commended him for his honor and heart? Or would they be assholes and put him on the front lines, be the first to die? If they were indeed willing to exempt Mulan's father from combat, then there wouldn't be a reason for Mulan to go. She woul...

"Black Widow"

Think Avengers: Endgame is the current pinnacle of this franchise? Think again. With the demise of Black Widow, I have questions about how they're going to make a Black Widow movie if she's dead. I did read that this takes place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War . So there's that, I guess. Also, I'm feeling Umbrella Academy vibes here as we will likely be diving more into the Black Widow training that made Natasha who she is today. We find out where Chief Hopper went though. He escaped through the Upside Down and is now leading a life as a superhero of some sort. Or villain. Who knows at this point? In theaters: May 1, 2020 Click image to view URL.

"Underwater"

Isn't this basically Alien underwater? And isn't this an attempt to try and turn Kristen Stewart into Ellen Ripley? And who would have thought that because T.J. Miller was in this it'll be good? Also I wouldn't be surprised if the thing was some kind of Kraken or an Octoshark. And I would be expecting to see Godzilla show up in a post credits scene.

"Sonic The Hedgehog"

Honestly, I liked the original design better. But if the studio decided to go this route, they should have saved their money and made a cartoon instead. Plus, they went from "Gangster's Paradise" to that one song from Spider-Man: Homecoming , which diminishes any hopes I had for the film. I'm glad Jim Carrey is back to his goofy self, but it was too much. In theaters: February 14, 2020 Click image to view URL. 

"1917"

Guys, we need to talk about war dramas. They are all the same. You know how this will end.  If it were a story that failed, then it would be about the bravery of the men who died carrying out the message, and they would advertise that way.  For once, I'd like to see a twist ending where the men depicted in this movie actually failed to deliver the message. I'm not asking for the resulting massacre. I just don't want another Saving Private Ryan story. In theaters: December 25, 2019 Click image to view URL. 

"A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"

*Sniffling* All right, damn it! I can't take it anymore! I watched this for the third time while at the movie theater, and I f*cking teared up. How can I hate this impending nostalgia trap? Damn you, Tom Hanks, for making me cry like a b*tch over a dead TV show host. I'm gonna go see this, and I'll probably cry the whole damn time.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" Season 3

In this season, we see Midge leave New York City for the crowds across America as she co-stars with Shy Baldwin, a popular singer. I bet they are going to have a falling out, and Midge is going to strike out of her own. This is because I know she isn't going to like playing second fiddle to this Bruno Mars of the sixties, but I also know she isn't one to give up and go home. Midge also faces friction with her family as they struggle with her rising fame and wanting to continue her journey. But at least Joel, her jackass husband, is on board with this...maybe. I don't know, the marketers pulled that lie in the Season 2 trailer too. On Prime Video: December 6, 2019 Click image to view URL.
