Thor: Love and Thunder

  • Title: Thor: Love and Thunder

Phase Four, by far the most experimental and unpredictable phase of the MCU, continues with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) earning his fourth standalone film (moving him past his tie with Captain America and Iron Man). Writer/director Taika Waititi returns for a follow up to Thor: Ragnarok choosing to keep the same tone and humor of that film. If Ragnarok was a 9 on the wacky scale, Love and Thunder is a 12.

  • Title: Baymax! – Cass
  • wiki: link

At first glance, Baymax (Scott Adsit) seems an odd choice of character from Big Hero 6 to spin-off into his own series. However, the attempts of the personal healthcare companion looking to provide help of a different person in need in each episode offers just the kind of premise that fits the Disney brand. In the first episode, Baymax takes it upon himself to run the café after Cass (Maya Rudolph) sprains her ankle. Not trusting the robot to give the personal service her customers need, Cass continues to sneak back down eventually hurting her ankle even further but gaining and understanding of her limitations and appreciation of both the robot’s attempts to help and her customer’s loyalty.
