At first, I was finding the concept of Vengeance to just be a fun, new concept that wasn't worth exploring more of, but now I'm invested. B. J. Novak did an amazing job not only directing, but playing Ben's part so well. The story itself was intriguing and something worth paying attention to, especially the mystery and suspense, but what really sold me was the dialogue. It's rich in thought-provoking talk between the characters, and something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Not to mention the character arc by the end. I'd say while the story itself has a bit of a drag to it, the end is well worth the wait, and I loved it.

I found The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special to be a treat from James Gunn. It's got everything a Christmas show needs - comedy, heart, festivities. It was definitely different, and had plenty of fun moments, I just wouldn't call it anything extra extravagant either, which is okay because I don't think that was the point. It's always fun to see The Guardians doing their thing, so I was just happy with what I was getting. The story itself was fun, and I loved the introduction of new characters along with the adventure itself. And it got packed in with some fun music, a usual present from James Gunn. This just has me more excited for Guardians Vol. 3 coming soon.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had me crying within the first 5 minutes. From beginning to end, there's so much raw emotion and power to every scene and word spoken. The comedy was also on point. While some characters needed some more screen time and background, they were still plenty fun, and the big characters all had breathtaking performances. There were so many unbelievable moments that sent spears through my heart, and others that had me grinning from excitement. Letitia Wright as Shuri was so powerful and emotional. Angela Basset as Ramonda had so much energy and strength. Tenoch Huerta as Namor had me so happy to finally see the character on the big screen. His delivery of the character and his action scenes were amazing. I also really didn't know how to feel about Iron Heart being included in the MCU, but I'm now very excited for future projects with Dominique Thorne. I also loved the soundtrack. Ryan Coogler has passed on Chadwick Boseman's legacy beautifully.
