True story on Netflix. Not bad if a little predictable. Wesley Snipes is great as usual.

I'm on ep 5 of wheel of time, I'm really enjoying it. Might have to read the books.
I've read the books and I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the transition to screen. They have left so much out that make the books so great, and they've added a load of mince in to make it PC and it actually makes it laughable.

This is probably why I'm not disappointed with it then mate. From what you have said if I had read them first I would be.

How many books are there please

Yeah the wife is quite liking it but she's not read them. There are 14 books each the size or bigger than Lord of the Rings.

It took me about 20 years to finish them.

Having just finished Loki, which was fairly confusing, we've now started on WandaVision, which is potentially even more confusing based on the first episode.

I found it easier than Loki. Hawkeye is the clearest so far. Something about Eternals coming up soon, no idea what that will be about.

Just finished Hawkeye, the battle was a lot like Kingsmen.

Watched the last Hawkey last night. We thought it was a very good light hearted and funny addition to the Marvel TV series.
Wandavision has been my favorite of them so far.

Finished "The Girl Before" last night, a 4 part thriller on the BBC. Found it very entertaining, even if I did just keep saying to the TV......."JUST LEAVE!":D

I thought it was really good and kept my interest for 4 x 1 hour which is rare! The house was flipping awful though - depressing as! Oh and to most of the questions I wanted to answer "sometimes"!

Funny how different Marvel spin offs have different reactions. I've just finished Hawkeye and it has been my favourite so far. Considering he was the least interesting Avenger that is fair play. They brought in lots of good characters that made the series strong to watch.

Loki was a huge disappointment, Wandavision I gave up on ?‍♂️.

Biggest mind-blowing moment in Hawkeye? When my wife was wandering through the room tonight, she hasn't watched it, looked at the screen and said about his wife, 'that's Velma from Scooby Doo' ?. It bloomin was as well.

Me too. I've quite enjoyed the series but don't think it really hit the heights. Biggest disappointment last night was IMO they completely misused the Kingpin, I thought that was a big let down after the hype of bringing him into the MCU from Netflix.

Loki and Wandavision have been the best of the Marvel TV so far and Hawkeye probably the worst... or "least good" anyway. Good reveal about Mrs Hawkeye though - wonder if that's setting up something to come.

I am guessing so. Suspect she is Mockingbird from the comics. Enjoyed Hawkeye (need a full version if Rogers the musical). Did not stand out as much as it was more traditional marvel fare. Think The Falcon was the worst but then again it had to massively re shot as the original plot was about spreading a global plague so timing not good.

Only a few days now until the Book of Boba Fett
