50% superheroes

31. Kimi No Wa Wa / Your Name
This is a gorgeous movie. The animation is lovely, the storyline starts out mostly comedy (though really - how many times does a teenage boy have to wake up as a teenage girl to stop grabbing her boobs?) and then takes a full twist into post-apocalyptic tragedy and then twists back around. Vety lovely. (Though I do not seem to have fallen as thoroughly for it as certain other individuals of my acquaintance? Sorry, guys - it's lovely and I'm very happy to have seen it, but I don't think I'd have paid to see it twice in cinema.)

32. Wonder Woman
This is a glorious superhero movie and I adore Diana. I do really wish that they hadn't gone with the New52 version of her origin, though...

33. Agents of SHIELD season 4.
Well. I very much liked the bits with Ghost Rider? Especially him curbstombing SHIELD agents? And I did take a certain delight in having the tv show so loudly affirming that HYDRA are Nazis, considering the comics currently going the exact opposite direction. But mostly? The standard cast has turned dreadfully bland on me - or maybe I've just gotten to the point where my inner completist (which already managed to not watch Iron Fist and aren't expecting to touch Inhumans) have decided to find a different target than the MCU.

34. American Gods season 1.
Well. That was about as gorgeously, vividly colourful as Pushing Daisies used to be. And Shadow Moon is adorable. And the worldbuilding is excellent and I'm looking forward to season 2. Really, the only complaint is that it feels so short and unfinished, especially since I read the book. On the other hand, I greatly enjoy that they are keeping the characters from the small filler chapters - like the taxi driver - in the story.

American Gods is great! It does feel like just a piece of a story, though. As I was saying to someone else, once it has a couple of seasons, it will make for great marathon viewing.

I've just finished watching AoS S4 as well. It's very much a background show for me, but I do still watch it. Will have some more to say, but in essence, the last quarter of the season kind of saved it for me.

Still worried about American Gods. I have apprehension I can't quite explain, but related to feelings about the book, I suspect. IDK. Maybe when they are finished with the thing.

I heard that it's planned to fill 5 seasons... So I am holding out to see if they get to even make it. If I even want to watch it then. We'll see, I guess. I might cave.

Heh! Well played, you. And as we know, this has happened before and will undoubtedly happen again.
