Film Surf Report: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Infinity Wars & Phase Three Explained!

 

THOR     AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON     DR STRANGE   guardians-of-the-galaxy-1

Santa Monica, CA  — The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) begins and, presumably, ends with the capture and use of those darn Infinity Stones, heretofore, glimpsed in Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Oh, and Guardians of the Galaxy.  And, let’s not forget Ant-Man.

I now know where Marvel is going (and also, where Marvel is subsequently taking me) in its Super Hero storytelling: Phase Three.

(And, I should add, I would have known much earlier had I simply read the comics! I cannot tell you how annoyed I get at television viewers aghast at the happenings on Game of Thrones when all they needed to do (like me) is to have read the books (as I have done!).

You can now know, as well, dear Readers of this fantastic Blog, about Phase Three.

Which film are you looking forward to the most?

Are you angry that I did not include the three Iron Man films or the second Captain America film (The Winter Soldier….the best!) in the above-referenced chronology?

Did you understand the Video?  Did you catch Josh Brolin voicing Thanos?
