@DarthKamen: Damn, that Phoenix neck peg tear is pretty brutal. I buy, at least, two of figures/characters that I really dig for exactly that reason. I do remember that head being pretty tight and, ironically, my HFC Jean also had a similar snugness that had me simply by a loose one on eBay for the spare Black Queen/Selene.

then again I've considered just not doing the theater thing anymore. Fittingly, my first movie in the theatres was Star Wars (though I was one of those wailing 1 year olds and don't remember seeing it, that's what my parents told me my first movie was). Maybe Rise of Skywalker was my last. As much as I want to see some of the movies coming out, I don't have this "need to see ASAP" drive for any of them.

Dr. Strange will be a test for me due to my love for the character and the fact that the franchise was one of the 3-4 MCU movies I truly enjoyed. I wasn't really a fan of the Blood and Thunder storyline (with the exception of some Thanos coolness/black-humor) due to Thor clowning BOTH Surfer and Beta Ray. Not to mention, I can only imagine the liberties that will be taken given the absence of Norrin and Bill, for now, in the MCU. Once Disney sobers up and let's me rent Shang-Chi on Amazon, I'll gladly view and I hope to do the same with the Eternals.

As far as Star Wars is concerned, I was only a handful of years older than you and also don't remember seeing it in the theaters, but know it happened from my pops telling me. While I wasn't a baby, I was on the tail end cusp of being a toddler. So I suppose future me would have been harumphing at my dad and I...and he would have promptly let me know the taste was about to be slapped out of my mouth!

Oddly, I think Rise of Skywalker may have been my last theater visit as well and I'm fairly sure Star Wars was also my first cinematic experience.
