There are so many great films next year to look forward to. This tops the charts I think though. Although we haven't seen anything from Ragnarok yet.

I remember the big debate last year this time was Civil War vs BvS, who would be king.
What does RT say lol
Oh, and GOTG is just an ok movie with a great soundtrack.

GotG to me is a movie that does all the little things perfectly right and it is a fun and charming movie. I never read the comics for GotG but the movie made me like all the characters. I literally thought everybody was fun or interesting. The four main characters, Ronan, Nebula, Yondu, Nova Corps

Same here.
I found it so much better than the cycle comprising the Avengers, Captain America, Thor and Iron Man films (apart from the first Iron Man, that is).

GOTG is poop when compared to the Cap trilogy.
...and made immensely enjoyable with a good sense of humor. I've come to really love this movie upon multiple viewings.

The forced humor is forced.
I loved GotG in the theater but I've had very little interest in it since then. I should give the blu-ray another spin before the sequel comes out to see if it reinvigorates my interest in the characters/franchise.
Jesus, remember the debate with CW and BvS. Time was wasted there.
All it'll take for me is that Episode 8 trailer and I'll be like 'Marvel who?'

No kidding. Though that's not saying much since I'm already pretty "Marveled out." Case in point: Still haven't seen Dr. Strange.

I will be Marvel'd out once IW credits roll, sorry Carol Danvers.
I'll be DC'd out before they even make it to the half way mark of the MCU lol.
I know there's a lot of hate for anything new Star Wars but i'm still super excited for it all....but Rogue One needs to knock it out of the park or else it will lower my excitement for E8.

I like that at least LFL is compartmentalizing their "in between" Star Wars movies apart from the main saga. If they went the full MCU route then after TFA we'd be getting "Rey: The Green Island" and "Poe Dameron: The Carbonite Soldier" which you'd have to watch in order to get up to speed prior to Episode 8. Glad they aren't doing that.

Yeah i'm with you there.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Infinity War turns out but honestly it will be a massive buzzkill if the Netflix heroes aren't allowed to make an appearance. They NEED those guys to get me truly excited for a Marvel free-for-all.
Being Marveled out is a real condition! I'm more excited about Asmus and their cool Kurt figure today than pretty much all of HT's CW offerings. Usually for me, the cycle goes like this:
1. License announcement (pretty much all Marvel and DC are guaranteed)
2. Convention prototypes or full specs and pics revealed on HT Facebook
3. The usual analysis, discussion, pre-ordering
4. Secret Base and magazine pics
5. Another new figure gets announced
6. The film it's from comes out, a hurdle is crossed in my mind, part of the hype for the figure dies
7. Delays
8. In-hand pics from HK, come here for overall opinions
9. From all of these combined, I now feel like I have the figure, with Marvel and DC there's always another chance down the line with a better headsculpt which is number one for me.
10. Cancelling the pre-order
11. Feeling jaded from the constant bombardment of CBM's across all social media
12. Get hyped about smaller films but only because they have merchandise
13. Start nitpicking those figures because they don't meet HT's gold standards
14. HT announces more new figures, get sucked back into the CBM hype because the next new film is coming out soon and more new figures will be announced, making it harder to ignore and focus on the other, more nostalgic figures. Their main attraction was that they have never been made, and you feel lucky they're being made at all. Then their final product is a gutpunch (Blitzway Tyler Durden)
15. The cycle begins anew.
Right now, the only glimmers are companies like Asmus, Blitzway and Star Ace. Threezero have ruined their chances by announcing great licenses and not following up that potential with satisfactory products, so fans will drop that 200 plus elsewhere. For what these companies are charging per figure, each one demands perfection or at least as close as you can get to it before it leaves the factory. The fact that HT released that Han Solo is ridiculous. They tweaked it, made it worse, and released that. When there are sculptors out there that can and do nail Ford's likeness, why aren't they hiring these people, if even on a freelance basis?
People like Adam Gu, Hossein Diba and Toria Casarro can get actors likenesses down exactly, and yet they aren't hired. I get that they might not want to work for HT, or prefer the freelance thing, but Jesus, it's unacceptable for HT to be charging what they charge, something that's only gone up since they began, and their products seem to be getting worse from a likeness standpoint as they continue. Something that gets preorders, in my opinion, is likeness to the character/actor. If that's missing, what's the point? If you disagree, check out the fans dropping hundreds for the headsculpt alone.

They didn't mess up their perfect TFA Han did they??? Or are you referring to their first Han figure from ANH?

While the Defenders would be nice for that to take place it wouldn't kill it for me.
I'm more concerned with the world ending/changing "The Hand" plot from the Nerflix shows just being ignored by the MCU if they do get involved.
The convergence from Thor 2 was never to be mentioned again lol.

OH ANH Han for sure. TFA Han is awesome. But they had more to work with there. Young 77 Harrison is a Grail.
