Marvel Monday: Captain America- The Winter Soldier

Okay back with another Captain America Review! I know I did the Civil War Review before I actually started Marvel Monday... so idk if you saw that review or not... but I'll link it right here and hopefully you guys will check it out and like it. I loved Civil War and I thought the clear side to be on was Team Captain America... and I think this movie just kind of strengthened that belief for me... which is why I'm happy I'm watching the Marvel Movies out of order... just because at this point when soooo many Marvel movies have been released... I feel like it almost works better watching it as a Prequel than anything else.

So anyway... I feel like super hero sequels usually start out pretty fast which makes it a little more exciting than the original movies... not that I've seen the original Captain America yet... but still! This one I think started out particularly fast... and there was so much going on that it seemed like The Winter Soldier himself was barely in the movie... even though he's sort of the co-title character.

I also feel like this movie is probably different for someone that knows a lot about Captain America vs someone that doesn't know much about him... I feel like the revelation of Bucky Barnes being The Winter Soldier could have been really awesome... but I also liked the dramatic irony that the Audience knew it was him, but the characters didn't know yet. I don't know. I guess he's in the first movie anyway- so if you saw the first one you would know... but if you're like me and you watch them out of order and you didn't know... that would be a cool reveal. Although... I also suppose I just spoiled it for you... so there's that.

This also introduced one of my favorite Marvel Characters- which is Falcon. I loved Falcon in Civil War because he is kind of a side kick to Captain America... I frequently have dreams that I'm also a side kick to Captain America- so I feel like we're a team. Lol. I also like how loyal he is to Stephen during the Civil War stuff... he breaks the law and gets into a lot of trouble for being on Stephen's side... he almost even got killed... so yeah he's a pretty badass guy to have on your side and I just like him. I liked seeing his origin... Stephen knew he could trust Falcon and even though I would guess Falcon wouldn't really want to fight any more wars... he did for Stephen and because he knew that was right. I just liked how even a somewhat minor character got such a good backstory.

Also... lots of twists... I felt like right from the beginning the whole movie was pretty much twist after twist. The fact that Black Widow was there for a different mission... then Nick Fury gets killed... but oh wait he doesn't... and then all this other stuff happens. It's just got so much going on... it's all pretty amazing and awesome and... I feel like this might be the most surprising Marvel movie I've seen so far.

So yeah... this was a really great one. Would highly recommend checking it out!

Bye!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
