Scribbles About Movies: Captain America- Civil War

Alright so the next movie on my Marvel List was Captain America: Civil War! This isn't the next movie within the MCU to be released after Avengers... but I thought that I could watch this before Ant Man and still enjoy it. Plus this is the oldest Marvel Movie on Netflix, part of me wonders if they'll get rid of it soon and put on Thor: Ragnarock because that would make more sense to me but with deals between Disney and Netflix's streaming services... who knows. Part of me wants to watch ALL of the Marvel Movies... but I might just wait until they're available on Disney's streaming service... because that's something I'm interested in.

So for some reason I always thought of this more as a mini-avengers movie instead of just a Captain America Movie... and I feel like it's half and half. Thor and The Incredible Hulk are not in this... but this is where we're introduced to a few more Avengers. Spider Man is first seen in this movie (I think?), Black Panther and Ant Man came out before this- but this is where a lot of the other characters meet Ant Man. And it's definitely kind of told from the perspective of Captain America with some scenes focusing a little more on Iron Man... so that was a little different than many Avengers movies... but it was still good.

And I feel like the "Teams" are important... Team Iron Man is made up of Black Panther, Black Widow, Spider Man, Vision, and War Machine. On Team Captain America we have Ant Man, The Scarlett Witch,  Hawkeye, Falcon and Bucky. And basically they're fighting because Tony Stark wanted them to sign a paper that was supposed to protect them and protect more people... but it limited what they were able to do... so Captain America's team didn't want to sign it...and it led to some of my favorite fight scenes ever. First off... it's really cool to see a bunch of the most powerful superheroes fighting each other...and they also all really care about each other and they think that what they're doing are the best and that it will ultimately protect the group in the long run. Soooo after sitting on it a few hours... I can see both of their sides... a few hours ago when I first started watching it I was like "Okay... Captain America's right! I don't see how anyone is siding with Iron Man." But looking back- Iron Man had a good point.

And I though the Captain America side was a lot braver... and they were. They had a lot more too lose and they kind of did... spoilers. They were getting in lots of trouble for their choices. I think Ant Man has a kid, Hawkeye has a few kids and a wife... and they're all fighting with some of their closest friends... so it's hard.

This movie was a little slower in comparison to The Avengers. I didn't think it was bad at all... there were just some times when I checked out a little bit... and I don't know how I liked the end that much... it just felt like they wrapped things up a little too easily and not everything was resolved... I think this is maybe my least favorite thing about the MCU so far is the end of the movies... because as epic as everything is the stories can't really wrap up because it's setting up a different move... and then I don't necessarily think that the previous movie is mentioned all that much in it. So... I feel like they kind of build up to something that's a little meh... but still... the movie itself isn't unexciting and I thought the nods to Avengers: Age of Ultron were pretty good. And it did make me excited for watching the next few movies like Black Panther and Spider Man.

So overall... I don't know if I liked this more or less than Age of Ultron. I think I liked it a little less... but I did like the fight scene with all the Avengers a lot and I thought it was pretty good overall.

Hope you guys liked this review... and I don't know what I'll watch next. Probably Guardians of The Galaxy... but I did watch Coco finally... so I might put a review on that first.

Byee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
