I think John Snow ends up on the throne with his Queen Dany. Just my theory......Don't see any dragons dying until they meet the White Walkers and I reckon its the Night King himself that will kill one.....and then resurrect it. Cersei has played her hand with the Dragon Killer weapon. Also wheres Edmure Tully boys? He is now the undisputed lord of the Rivverlands holding claim over House Tully & Frey. Did Arya not let her Uncle outta jail??? Are the Lannisters still holding Riverrun? surely not with everything else that's going on......and the Frey men are all dead.....Edmure would be the boss of Riverrun and the Twins. I don't know if Arya was aware of the fact that Edmure was alive but captured. However, in the books and I think the show too Jaime and the Lannisters take Edmure after they get Riverrun back, so I don't think he would've be at the Twins. I do wonder what's going on with the Riverlands, there's a lot of Freys so I doubt Arya killed every single last one of them... but the fact that the show kind of glosses over minor details like that is one of the few problems I have. As for all the other talk about the show's endgame, I doubt the Night King and the White Walkers are as generically evil as they seem. There's definitely gotta be something more to them, and I imagine Jon Snow will be the one to find out. I guess we already know they were created to help the Children fight the First Men, but I still feel like there's more to their current march South. I'm still not sure who ends up on the throne. Jon and/or Dany are safe picks. Littlefinger is a wild card but I feel like he's destined to receive some Stark justice. I don't think Cersei will survive the series. Tyrion would probably be the best King but I doubt people would ever accept him. Jaime is my darkhorse pick, but I lean more towards Jon/Dany. Or who knows, maybe the White Walkers do just end up killing everyone.

Spider-Homecoming hasn't been a mind blowing smash hit, but it has already surpassed both Amazing Spider-Man movies at the domestic box office. Currently sits at a little over $300 million compared to $262 million for the first and $202 million for the second. It's grossed $670 million worldwide so far, and has yet to be released in China or Japan. I think it could reasonably cross over $800 million in the worldwide box office, easily surpassing both Amazing Spider-Man movies again... even with franchise fatigue. And I imagine Homecoming is going to sell even more when it comes to DVD and the like. I think Marvel/Disney have proved they know how to make more money with Spidey than Sony does.

I don't hate Iron Man 2, but I guess I just find it underwhelming. I've probably seen it two or three times by now and it's never really done anything for me. I wouldn't call it a bad movie though, it's just a little forgettable.

The Defenders trailer was great. I'm really excited for this show. I'm especially loving Daredevil and Jessica Jones together just from the bits we've seen in the trailers.

The trailer looked pretty good. Between this trailer and the success of Wonder Woman I'll remain cautiously optimistic for this. I still wish they had done some more solo movies first but too late for that now.

I think Homecoming is my new favorite Marvel movie. I'm not a huge Spider-Man fan but this movie was almost perfect. Certainly at least the best since the first Guardians. Definitely one of the best Marvel movies, but I'll have to watch it twice before saying it's the best. My opinion shifts a lot after I see a movie for a second time and think about it some more. Until then I put Winter Soldier, The Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy above it.

I think as long as the movies are still good people will still go see them. There's a lot of trust in the Marvel brand right now. Even if we don't get any more Iron Man and/or Captain America after Infinity War, we have more Spidey and Guardians of the Galaxy which are pretty much guaranteed to be big hits. It seems like a lot of people out there are waiting for superhero movies to begin failing, but I'd bet these characters have been around longer than most of us on this forum. They will make money as long as they don't start sh*tting the bed with these movies.

Has Wonder Woman passed out BvS at the Box office yet I wonder? I reckon it probably has.... Domestically speaking Wonder Woman surpassed BvS a week or two ago. It's at about $370 million to $330 million for BvS. Though I don't think Wonder Woman will pass it at the worldwide box office. WW currently has $746 there compared to $873 million for BvS.

I thought Spider-Man was easily one of the best MCU movies to date, and I like just about every single one of them. I even kind of like Thor 2! Tom Holland nailed it as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and I would argue he's my favorite film interpretation of the character. Michael Keaton was amazing as Vulture, and I agree with everyone saying he was one of the best MCU villains. It was refreshing to have a movie where the stakes weren't about saving the world, which felt perfect for a movie about a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. I really liked all of the supporting cast, from May to Ned to Liz to Flash to Michelle to Coach Wilson. I think the movie used the perfect amount of Iron Man, enough for him to have a presence but not enough to overshadow Peter in any way. The humor was spot on in this one, definitely up there with the first GOTG as the funniest MCU movie. This was easily one of the best Spider-Man movies, possibly the best, but I owe Spider-Man 2 another watch soon. More spoiler-y stuff in the tag: -The reveal about Vulture was amazing, like my entire theater gasped when he opened the door. The car ride afterwards was so tense and probably my favorite scene in the movie. The way Vulture's face lit up green from the stoplight when he started putting the pieces together was great. -I'm excited about the Miles Morales tease. I can see them using him way down the line as the "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" if/when Peter starts running around with the Avengers. -Seems like they're building up to some Sinister Six stuff in future movies. -Was kind of disappointed Kingpin didn't show up in the post credit scene. I wasn't expecting it, but I figured if any movie was going to tie the Netflix series in with the movies it would be this. I'm pretty sure Kingpin and Vulture are in the same prison though. -Since this has been of much discussion around the internet, I am totally on board with this version of "MJ" -Pepper Potts returning was a nice surprise -I really liked some of the parallels to the Iron Man franchise since the movie had the idea of Tony wanting Peter to be "better" than him. Like how Peter decided to not show off his suit at the party unlike Tony did in Iron Man 2. And how the end of this was the exact opposite of Iron Man, with Peter refusing to do the press conference and instead becoming his own hero. Edit: I also didn't mind any of the tech stuff. Tony made the suit so I was willing to roll with all of it.

Anybody who knows me well knows I am absolutely in love with Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire.
My top 10 characters are:
1. Jon Snow 2. Jaime Lannister 3. Arya Stark 4. Daenerys Targaryen 5. Tyrion Lannister 6. The Hound 7. Ygritte 8. Bronn 9. Littlefinger 10. Davos
The longer wait than usual for season 7 is killing me. At least it'll still be out well before Winds of Winter...

i mean, to be fair....at least half of smackdown is pointless dreck. tag division is directionless and stale, non-existent mid card...most of the roster are "heels" but everything surrounding the 6 guys in the chamber match last night, Orton & Harper is brilliant. ill give a little bit to Ziggler, despite jobbing, he at least has a character. Slater & Rhyno are over. They are attempting to make Mojo interesting. But outside the two main titles not much else is going on. However the stuff around the 2 main titles is some of the best we've seen out of this company the last 3 years, and thats mostly because the show isn't about trying to make Roman Reigns the greatest superstar in history. imo only the tag division is lacking right now. The main event scene is obviously a gold mine with AJ, Cena, Wyatt, Orton, Harper, and etc. there. Ambrose and Miz were just feuding for the Intercontinental Championship, and now it appears the focus is shifting to Ambrose vs Corbin which should be fun. The women don't receive the same promotion their counterparts on RAW do, but they've all been booked strongly and it makes the division exciting to watch... plus now they got Mickie James in there so Becky isn't so far above everyone else in the division (in terms of in-ring skill). The Ziggler stuff has been alright, nothing too special but it's nice to see a change of pace for him. Ellsworth continues to be at least entertaining for the brief amount of time he's on TV. That's pretty much the whole show besides the tag division. The tag division suffers because there's really nobody on American Alpha's level. The Usos are good and the heel turn has done well for them, but they seem to fade in and out of the spotlight, which hurts them. Slater and Rhyno are still over but haven't been seen as a real threat since losing the titles. The rest of the teams are... there. You could say the tag division needs a Revival.

I really think this show would be better off if they used the Game of Thrones model of showing multiple storylines per week. They've done it in the past too and they've done it well. But having so many bottle episodes in each season really makes everything seem so disconnected. Sometimes bottle episodes work but many times they don't. People would probably be more receptive to stuff like Tara's little side adventure if it was among other stories with characters like Rick, Michonne, Maggie, etc.

I think Ezekiel agreeing to Negan's deal works for when the Kingdom and Alexandria come together for TV purposes. I just always liked how Ezekiel was the only one to resist Negan, thought it was a cool layer to the character.

I'm not really a fan of Ezekiel accepting Negan's "deal" in the TV Show. I wish they hadn't changed that.
Overall, however, I really enjoyed how they portrayed Ezekiel and Shiva... they're pretty much everything I wanted out of them. Khary Payton was fantastic. Excited to see more from him.
