Marvel vs Warhammer 40K!
The Marvels
While this puts characters together from Captain Marvel, Wandavision, and Ms. Marvel for a girl power film this is very much a Captain Marvel story (played by Brie Larson) but with the goofy tone of Ms. Marvel (gotta get those new tween viewers) - which is not a very good blend. They really need to stop using alien races as victims because no matter what world dooming thing is happening, if its not "our" Earth in danger then there's no real weight or threat (a similar flaw in Quantumania). Alas the high budget effects can do nothing to improve the story which ultimately is a *shrug*, so that happened. Only recommended if you enjoyed the Ms. Marvel series.
Pariah Nexus
Years ago I posted about Astartes fan-project. The creator of that is now officially part of the Warhammer 40K team who have released the three episode series Pariah Nexus which depicts the fall of an Imperium shrine world to the Necrons. Nice animation, bloody fights and a decent grimdark story (it is Warhammer 40K after all) make it a much better watch than the Marvels, and is recommended for any Warhammer fan or anyone who simply enjoys this type of entertainment. Like me. :P

Avengers: Endgame
There is only one way to win.
In this continuation of Avengers: Infinity War, the heroes band together once more to "avenge" what happened previously. It's safe to say you probably want to watch Infinity War first despite the decent Hawkeye opening that fills in what happened for new comers.
Like the previous movie, there are a lot of characters here and all but the main ones get very few lines or do one move then leave the scene especially at the end. I didn't mind it, and was quite entertained by the high budget "everything" that we've come to expect from the Avengers movies.
I did feel that there needed to be a higher body count though, especially on the good guys side. I guess everyone is wearing plot armor? Or perhaps they couldn't really dismember people (one exception that was sort of take backsies) viscerally on screen in a Disney backed film? Whatever the case, that weakened it a bit for me, and that bit where all/most of the female heroes manage to group up mid fight was literally bull-cheese. As if Captain Marvel needed back up anyway... lol!
All up I give this 4.5 power stones out of 5 and highly recommend to watch it (provided you've at least seen Infinity War). I'll definitely want to see it again. :)

The gang's all here!

Captain Marvel
Always be nice to cats! :P
This is one hero I knew very little about, but boy did Marvel give her a good movie. It helps that the main character "Vers" (Brie Larson) starts out as an amnesiac Kree enforcer, which helps the audience learn about her past while she does.
Much like the high budget CGI here, the acting is splendid all around with Samuel Jackson, Jude Law, and Ben Mendelsohn being the highlights. As a fan of Agents of Shield, it was also great to see Clark Gregg too but I think my new favorite is "Goose" the cat.
The story is well told and the characters are great as is the unexpected humour which is found in spades here. The Stan Lee tribute at the opening is also touching. I'm actually struggling to find some negatives here, other than Captain Marvel might be overpowered? Fantastic movie and one I highly recommend, I give it 5 science guys out of 5.

If she looks OP it's because she is.
