1. Does anyone have any Okoye BAF parts they don't need that they can sell or trade or gift? The only part i do not need is the body. PM me please.


2. So i started my Marvel Movie Marathon yesterday with Blade.
First.. Holy shit at it being TWENTY YEARS OLD ALREADY...DAMN!!!
Second..If you haven't seen this movie in a while...DAMN.. you definitely need to check it out again. Decent plot without being convoluted. Frost was a decent bad guy.
Action-wise (recent comic style) this movie was wayyyy ahead of its time.
I realize a lot of this IS ACTUALLY because of Wesley Snipes. This M*ther Fokker is soooooo bad ass in this movie its sick. I swear I feel like he would fit in SO WELL in current MCU. My man was straight NO NONSENSE. NO GAMES..

i'm not sure i can give every movie a number rating..i'm sure at some point some will be so close. I may group them in tiers. like A class, B class, C class, etc.
for now Blade is my #1 (since i've only watchd one movie). and definitely in my A Group.

While everyone obvisously doesn't feel that, it is apparent that some people are starting to feel that way.

Me personally, keep em coming. I love seeing them come to life on the big screen.

what does that even mean??..lol..if you don't like a genre...don't go see it. Go watch the Notebook or Blue Earth or go to the opera or whatever uppity folk partake in these days.

You definitley contradict yourself from time to time.
Yes...this movie was def more action than plot (my review of it later as it is second on my marathon list)
But how can you say you don't understand the love for it. It was sick as Fugg from beginning to end on the action. That's what lots of comic based readers want from time to time.
a BAD story and action is one thing. But an average to non critical story and tons of action..well that just works.

and i say this wanting an honest answer........ so why do you continue to go see them?

The Netflix stuff has a different vibe...as it should... and i hope they NEVER mix the two.
I agree 100% with you on Cage.
I agree 100% wiht you on Iron Fist (unwatchable)
I don't agree with you on Defenders. I actually though it was so-so at best. It felt rushed and it felt like they used "normal Television writing and action" instead of the formulas that made Daredevil great. (It felt far removed from the way DD was filmed and written)

all that....Exactly..and he is a Class A ass-kicker.
You don't really want it with the Day Walker!!

I've warned you once..dont make me do it again.
