This series, following Wanda Maximoff after the events of Avengers: Endgame, was no short of a complex masterpiece. The initial episodes were full of relieving comedy sprinkled with eerie clips of mystery that had the fandom desperately hoping for the happy endings of the two deserving characters, while the later episodes dove deep into a more action-packed Marvel-like model. Kaliyah Donaldson, who’s favorite release is WandaVision, says, “I just think that the way it handles grief is really cool… I liked that it was kinda confusing and unsettling like when Vision keeps staring directly into the camera. It’s just good”.

Released on the 9th of July, this film glimpsed into the mysterious past of the deceased Natasha Romanoff. The entire following of the MCU awaited this character’s backstory ever since her first appearance in Iron Man 2, and it was told mostly through events shortly after Civil War. Bits and pieces of her terrible upbringing were revealed in previous films, but the details were finally unveiled. One of my favorite factors of this movie is the family dynamic between her parents, sister, and herself. And, of course, what makes a better movie than when a character deals with the demons of their past?

Jodell Smith, who’s other favorite release is Black Widow, says, “I loved learning about Nat’s background… I loved learning about her family dynamic and how it all really just made her who she is today. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Nat and her sister Yelena reunite for the first time in years”.

Following the first Asian lead in a Marvel film, we’re introduced to a new character with a fresh story. Shang-Chi and his family perform the most elegant fighting scenes in the MCU with martial arts, and watching the members of his family battle it out while Katy came along for the ride made for a really entertaining two hours. The combination of cultures was very much relatable to me personally, which was really nice to see in a Marvel movie. Also, whoever casted Awkwafina in this film deserves a raise.

A two and a half hour film released on the 5th of November, Eternals told the world-threatening story of ten immortals who had covertly lived on the earth for centuries. The movie connected with many large events in history, which I really enjoyed seeing. Still, there was nothing more I loved about it than having a female lead (especially with men on the team); Sersi carried. The CGI was great, and overall I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this to anyone. Neema Wangui recently watched Eternals and loved it, saying, “It was different from the normal superheroes that we know… Angelina Jolie was my favorite part, and also Druig… It felt a little bit more emotional than action…”.

The last Marvel movie release this year is set to release on the 17th of December (the day this article is published), being the final part of the trilogy. According to Spiderman producer Amy Pascal, No Way Home will not be the last Spiderman movie, and another trilogy is being planned. I highly anticipate this release and am sure many others are too.
