    The phrase “the MCU’s best in years” is tossed around every single time the studio releases a new tentpole these days that it feels like it has lost all credibility; the truth is that they have been on a streak of mediocrity for a while now and each new film strays further from the heights and seamless interconnectivty of Marvel’s glory days a decade ago.

    Alex Garland’s fractious thriller Civil War depicted a dystopian America splintered by political violence at a time when the country’s real-time morality wasn’t too dissimilar to that of the film.

    2016's Moana was lightning in a bottle: a critical darling – beloved for the cultural representation, classic feeling story, ear-worm songs and awe-inspired animation – that also grossed a tidy $687 million at the worldwide box office. But it has found even more success in the years since as the most streamed film ever as of 2024 (80 billion+ minutes and counting), so it's no surprise that Disney wanted to switch gears from a follow-up series on Disney+ to a fully fledged theatrical sequel.

I think it’s a real testament to just how good this franchise is when you could literally have these in any order and it would still be considered a viable ranking. My one ahead of Final Reckoning tonight. Don’t let me down, Tom. https://t.co/KlSWguue0Y
