We're Back πβοΈ This Week
Added 2024-11-18 16:05:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone! π I hope you're all doing AMAZING. β€οΈ
Most of Alberta woke up this morning to a fresh blanket of snow and the highest temperature across the entire province right now is just above freezing. π So maybe winter is finally here to stay.
First off, I know that I ended up taking basically another week "off", but a more creative-focused week behind-the-scenes after my actual time off was good for my brain. π This probably isn't a surprise, but I am not the type of person who is happy doing just one thing and one thing only. π
I also did some thinking over the past week about what I should focus on for the rest of this year since we have a month and a half to go and I'm feeling very refreshed. I'm making some adjustments:
Finish the rest of Phase 4 of the MCU because I have less left than I thought I did
Try to finish the X-Men films, but this may get wrapped up in January
Get any currently unedited reactions that I want on YouTube done and shared
Band of Brothers watchalongs (and edits) will be moved to the start of 2025 to better align with my 2025 plans
π’ There are 15 hours remaining in my "What Mini-Series To Watch?" poll that is available for folks pledged in the Insiders tiers. I'll be watching the two mini-series with the highest votes. If you haven't voted yet, please do! It's a multiple-choice poll.
Okay so, what's happening this week? I have two announcements to make and both will be in video format. One will release a bit later today and the other will be later this week. And I know that I normally keep the Reactr / MotM movies a secret until I share them, but I technically had the secret already so... π YouTube edits are TBD this week.
I think the most exciting thing this week is that my interview with Eric from the Reactorverse Podcast will be shared! So look forward to that one real soon!
Movie Watchalongs:
Deadpool (2016)
Reactr Request: Angel of Mine (2019)
Reactr Request: Uncut Gems (2019)
October Member of the Month Winner's Pick: Wind River (2017)
TV Watchalongs (Insiders Tiers):
Luke Cage: 1x09 / 1x10 / 1x11
I'm going to finish Luke Cage next week, so that December can start fresh with Agents of SHIELD Season 3 (EEEEE!!!) and the first show that wins the Mini-Series poll

I am starting to use BlueSky a lot more now, over Twitter/X. Feel free to give me a follow! I love that I could set my handle here to be my website domain - talk about the ultimate verification.
And of course, Soka and her best friend Stella:
And Soka happy when I came home!

Let's make this a fab week. π

2024-11-19 02:46:05 +0000 UTCGlad you're back, rested, and recharged creatively! Yay getting to Wind River this week!

2024-11-19 02:33:20 +0000 UTCHey at least you won't have to wait THAT long, I mean between Deadpool 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine, we had to wait 6 years imagine that. Plus you were already going by release order, might as well commit lol, that's kinda the fun of it don't you agree ? maybe I'm wrong, but that's just how I feel. It builds up the anticipation even more IMO. A little unrelated, but I've seen reactors reacting to the movie, either only seeing just the X-Men movies and being lost for the most part, or even they just barely started the MCU and wanted to jump on the bandwagon and still got confused to a degree...
Arti
2024-11-19 02:02:33 +0000 UTCYeah, it doesn't sound like much. But my plan for 2025 was to only do one Phase 5 instalment per month, but that would put DPW all the way to August 2025. Decisions, decisions.
kaiielle
2024-11-19 00:01:35 +0000 UTCPhase 5 so far has (excluding I Am Groot season 2) 4 movies and 5 shows
Arti
2024-11-18 23:59:59 +0000 UTCwell yeah it is the latest phase 5 movie as of November 2024, I'm trying to be as vague as possible cause I know you don't like spoilers, cuz trust me I hate spoilers too. So I'm trying to not ruin anything for you hahaha
Arti
2024-11-18 23:55:58 +0000 UTCHaha it's okay! I just naively assumed a movie about two X-Men characters wouldn't have any strong connections to phase 5 of the MCU.

2024-11-18 23:23:17 +0000 UTCSean: RIP to my plans.
kaiielle
2024-11-18 22:21:10 +0000 UTCDeadpool and wolverine is definitely best viewed later on down the line, it gives you time to breathe after Logan and Deadpool 2 and there are references to phase 5 projects in it. So Iβd say watch it in between the marvels and Agatha all along (:
Sean H
2024-11-18 22:20:16 +0000 UTCNathan: DP2 is after Logan though, so that's fine. Arti: I have to follow the MCU timeline for Phase 5 for DPW? I didn't think I had to and could just keep DPW to the X-Men timeline. If I have to watch all of Phase 5 first, then DPW is a long time away.
kaiielle
2024-11-18 19:42:28 +0000 UTCyay! welcome back! Looking forward to this lineup. Special nod to Wind River, a solid movie that went under the radar.

2024-11-18 19:38:03 +0000 UTCDeadpool & Wolverine is part of the MCU phase 5 so I'd advise after New Mutants just catch up and then watch DP&W.
Arti
2024-11-18 19:06:45 +0000 UTCIβm so happy Iβm not crazy thanks π looking forward to it!
Ray H
2024-11-18 18:14:54 +0000 UTCJust a heads up, New Mutants ties into DP2 and Logan and DP2 spoils Logan.

2024-11-18 17:46:06 +0000 UTCGlad you had time to recharge and glad you are back. Very much looking forward to Wind River. Amazing film. Also looking forward to more MCU. I know the toxicity for She-Hulk was off the charts but I actually enjoyed it. Maybe not every single thing but Iβd say a good 75%-80%

2024-11-18 17:34:55 +0000 UTCThank you!
kaiielle
2024-11-18 17:31:37 +0000 UTCYes, Phase 5 will likely be done in the frequency of one-per-month in 2025.
kaiielle
2024-11-18 17:31:29 +0000 UTCYes, Logan will definitely be done by year-end. The only movies I think could end up being in January would be New Mutants and Deadpool & Wolverine.
kaiielle
2024-11-18 17:31:05 +0000 UTCYes, Deadpool 1 and 2 are both going to be rewatches, technically. However, I don't have a super strong memory of either movie. I do remember certain characters and fights, but that's about it. And of course, any X-Men connections I would have not understood during my first watch.
kaiielle
2024-11-18 17:30:09 +0000 UTCUncut Gems, nice.
Tyler Foster
2024-11-18 16:48:56 +0000 UTCQuestion KL, is this a rewatch of Deadpool? I swear I saw it rated on your letterboxd, but hell my memory is crap. Haha
Ray H
2024-11-18 16:26:31 +0000 UTCAs long as you get to Logan π₯Ίthatβs the only Xmen movie left that I care about π€£
Ray H
2024-11-18 16:21:58 +0000 UTCWelcome back! Now the fun can resume, apparently with snow and hot chocolate! Glad you got some much needed rest and rejuvenation π

2024-11-18 16:20:30 +0000 UTCMy power bill disagrees lol. Guess we will manage lol
Chris Elkins
2024-11-18 16:16:45 +0000 UTCHappy to have you here KL, yeah phase 4 is almost done for you literally you got She-Hulk Attorney at Law, Werewolf by Night, Black Panther Wakanda Forever and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special left. Phase 5 is also as you know still ongoing and that won't end until June-July 2025
Arti
2024-11-18 16:14:04 +0000 UTCGood to see you back, KL! Hearing that weβre probably gonna get a Logan reaction by the end of this year is getting me HYPEDDDDDD, that movie man, itβs too good. Agents of shield season 3 starting soon AND Deadpool this week? This is looking peak!
Sean H
2024-11-18 16:13:48 +0000 UTCWe gotta spread the cold around! Can't hog it all. π
