MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: ALMOST INFINITY - The Bigger Picture

  / moviebob1   https://www.redbubble.com/people/movi... I've been known to find it irritating when critics and other film writers of my generation (particularly those of us covering weekly mainstream releases for online publications) get tagged as "comic book movie" critics only - or thought of as focused even more narrowly on the Marvel films - simply because we happen to have done the bulk of our initial work during a period where this particular genre (and, for the last decade at least, one specific series and studio) has so dominated the conversation. BUT, there is no denying that I've reviewed a lot of Marvel films and provided a lot of Marvel coverage over my decade-plus in the business; so with Phase 3 having concluded I figured it was only proper to try and collect them into a single space for the viewing convenience (and curiosity factor) of longtime viewers, readers and fans. ...unfortunately, while this installment of "THE BIGGER PICTURE" collects the majority of my reviews from the majority of "official" MCU productions (so no "DEADPOOL," "VENOM" or "SPIDERVERSE" in here yet as it hasn't been made 100% clear that they're being "multiverse-grandfathered" into the timeline yet, or at all); I'm not totally able to provide a complete set just yet. For starters, I hadn't begun doing video reviews until "IRON MAN 2," so the original "IRON MAN" and "THE INCREDIBLE HULK" are sadly absent here. More pressingly, while having reclaimed my rights to republish reviews from "ESCAPE TO THE MOVIES;" a handful of my MCU review videos were published under a separate engagement with the now defunct site GEEK.COM - where it is not fully settled whether or not I can republish those episodes or not. If and when that's resolved in the (hopefully) near future, I aim to have another version of this posted; but for now some selected episodes of "THE BIG PICTURE" and "IN BOB WE TRUST" commenting on aspects on the missing features are presented in their place. While obviously not a replacement for the full set, I hope you find them informative in their own right.
