She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Whose Show Is This?
(2022)
Episode 9, Season 1

Perfect ending
Whether you liked the show or not, in my opinion this ending perfectly tied in all the little pieces of the rest of the episodes. The fourth wall breaks, the frequent callouts to the "normal rules" of the MCU, etc get even more Meta here.

I personally really enjoyed the show but could understand why others were tired of it. But the people who were out there really bashing it online without watching, and who gave up part way through, you missed out! Because you, unfortunately, became the plot line of the show and I promise that this finale was made for you.

Honestly the 10/10 is partially just that I'm impressed Marvel filmed this all fully self-aware of how it would be received by fans, enough to turn the tables in the end. Very entertaining.

Dear Evan Hansen
(2021)

Wait this was good?
Y'all I didn't think this would be good tbh, I had many problems with casting and such having loved the musical. But I have to say, it was awesome: 9/10 of my favorite parts were kept which is rare for a movie-musical and I LOVED the additional songs and plot development changes. Yes Ben platt is older than a high schooler. But they did a good job with it and I honestly forgot my outrage from the trailer when I watched the whole thing. Please give it a chance.

WandaVision
(2021)

So far, so good
Okay we are two episodes in so rating 10 stars is probably premature but I gotta say, this is INCREDIBLY well done. I'm sorry to the people with low attention spans who get bored with no color or crazy action, but from a storyline and filmography standpoint, I'm HOOKED. It's done so well, it's like I'm watching a 50s/60s TV show... until the brief moments where there's a clear breakthrough that somethings different. They are subtle, like the camera work will change or you'll see a flash of color. It's that level of depth that makes the show incredible. Just be patient guys, I have a lot of faith in this and am VERY invested already!

Avengers: Endgame
(2019)

Exactly what you're hoping for.
Normally there are a lot of plot holes in these kind of movies (the ones HISHE delve into and make you mad later) but other than one, I honestly can't think of any. The writers do an incredible job of tying up everything into exactly what the audience has been waiting for. You will laugh cheer and definitely cry, and it's all worth it.

Aquaman
(2018)

I'm so annoyed with the people who reviewed this movie before I saw it!
I checked all these reviews before seeing the movie. "Most Beautifully visualized!!! DC movie... so far". "Better stuff than what MCU offered us for 9 years!". I was SOOO excited! I love all superhero movies, MCU and DCEU. I have been hoping for a good DCEU movie for so long, and have gone to each one hopeful. Wonder Woman was a step in the right direction in my opinion. I saw the reviews for this movie and was so excited to see it. And was subsequently let down, partially because I didn't read into the feud between the two franchises's fans.

Look, this movie should not be reviewed as highly as it is. It has GREAT visual effects and Jason Momoa is actually pretty good. However the rest of the acting and writing is so so so so subpar. I've been reading reviews all morning, about character development, how it is way less cheesy than MCU movies, just the right combination of funny and serious. Every scene feels forced like a formula: have at least one funny joke, one cool visual effect, and one heroic speech about the importance of what we are doing. So repetitive, the entire movie. How is that revolutionary, or better than any other films the DCEU has produced? I blame my disappointment in this movie based on the DC only fans who are just forcing good reviews on this movie based on their hatred of Marvel. Because while I definitely love DC, and I like Marvel sometimes too, I pay $15 at the theatre for a GOOD MOVIE not a BRAND.

I hope my review brings down some of the hype. It is still a pretty good film and OF COURSE I love Aquaman and think that every fan should see the film. But I could have waited until it is cheaper on DVD to watch, because it simply isn't worth it. Please don't let the annoying reviews that praise this film as some above holy savior of the franchise sway you, because it is not that jewel of the DC universe they claim it to be. And if any of those reviewers read this, please, when reviewing movies, leave your anger at the MCU at home so I can not waste money on a film that is by no means, saving the DC franchise. The last thing I wanted was to associate this film with disappointment.

tldr: this film really needed a poorer review because the amount of praise it is receiving is unrealistic, and causing people to get their hopes too high about a mediocre film.
