While I agree with being upset at most of the changes, they absolutely had to age up the cast a bit. It was obviously going to take many seasons to adapt this, and anyone younger would have aged too much between seasons.

Only the first movie, Quest for the spear, came before Supernatural, which premiered in 2005 and ended in 2020. The 2nd movie came out in 2006, and the TV show, which is the subject of this article, didn't release until 2014.

The movie was very well done on a modest (for Marvel) budget. The dialogue was the best I've heard in a superhero movie, bar none. The way they tackled depression, specifically, was also well done. Not heavy handed, just people talking about things that will resonate with everyone who has ever fought depression.

The movie also cements itself firmly in the MCU timeline as being after the latest Capt. America, after the Hawkeye TV show, and before the new FF movie, something that not every movie does, so there's no guessing what came before or will come after.

Simply put, in light of many of the MCUs recent movies, this one is a must see, popcorn enjoyable throughout, with an excellent undertone of teachable moments for those who might feel like no one cares.

Love Dina. Loved her in Alien: Romulus, too. Hate Bella as Ellie. But to disagree with one of the other replies: if you think they're adding woke stuff, then you didn't play the game. TLOU has been woke since the first game, but they really aired it out in part 2. It's a lot of what got the hate back then.

Yet another article by either someone with no business writing, or an AI doing what it was told. Ellie and Dina "start" their relationship before Joel's death in the game, so it's late in the show. To not know that and still write about it is ignorance at its absolute finest.

I'd point this out: there were no "unknown" names on the chairs. We're getting OG Xmen for sure, but nothing says they are the only versions of them we're getting. Also, Endgame shot us 5 years ahead in time. I would expect Secret Wars to do something similar, which will allow time for the MCU to backfill histories/origins as needed.
