Reconnecting with my inner Superhero
Small introduction to this blog
First, little premise.
I need to give life to this blog just for personal purpouse.
Next, let me get you some cotext.
From what I can remember I have always been that nerdy-comics guy, as an 87' born — and excluding all those Disney movies we all know well, my first encounter with a superhero was Batman: The Animated Series from 92'. I was a 5 years little boy mesmerized in front of this big man wearing a grey suite with yellow belt, black mask and black mantle, with those fascinating gadget and amazing vehicles! Oh my, I simply can’t count the hours I spent playing with this badass Batwing (coming from the movie Batman Forever in 1995), which had a Batmotorbike inside, shot darts and great stuff like that. What else for a little guy dreaming to become The Batman?
Early next came TMNT, Spiderman — which became my favourite ever years after when I started actually reading comics, Tigerman, Power Rangers and so on…
Time passed by, I read tons of comics and watched almost every superhero movie, but in 2021 i became dad — and if you’re reading this and you’re dad you know what I’m talking about, no joy is comparable but I almost lost the connection with all my passion and hobbies, after Spider-Man: Far from Home, in some sneaky way I watched only Spider-Man: No Way Home and Thor: Love and Thunder, that’s it, now we’re lucky if we can go to the cinema two or three times per year, it’s parenthood baby!
So, what’s the point?
Tommy is growing up and we’re slowly gaining some free time thanks to kindergarten and grandpartens. Two weeks ago I hang out with my cousin wich is up to date with MCU and DCEU, I was talking to him that I’d like to reconnect with this or that new movie and come back into comics world but It’s hard and such, so he stopped me and said to me: “just rewatch them! It’ll take some time for sure, but nobody’s chasing you.”
Wtf, he was right!
So I decided to take back my passion for comics and movies, I’d like to realign with Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe, so first I want to start rewatching ALL the Marvel movies starting from Ironman, I made some math and there are 32 movies (+2 Deadpool) out there ready to watch. I expect to watch 4 to 6 movie per month — which is a pretty good pace for my lifestyle, so I think I can accomplish my Marvel immersion just in time for The Marvels (expected on November 10 late this year), but surely for Deadpool 3 (expected on May 3 2024).
So the point is: I need a journal to take track of this journey, take some notes, write some stuff and have fun.
I made a list — that I’ll keep updated, I love popcorn, let’s do it.
