    Only slightly trolling when I say this is the best Marvel movie.

    I once wrote that we as a society needed to rise up and stop Rob Marshall from directing a movie ever again.

    We failed, and this is the result.

    The story of how that racist guy who says “I’m not racist, I have a black friend” met his black friend.

    What if Singin’ in the Rain was three hours long, had no singing and dancing, focused mostly on the villain, was largely charmless and grating, was filled with countless rip-offs of other movies, and instead of ending with a fantastical ballet, ended with the montage from the end of Disney’s The Great Movie Ride?
