Something you may or may not be aware of - a couple of months back was the 40th anniversary of the first Marvel film being released - 1977's "The Amazing Spiderman" (well okay, there were a few multi-part Captain America short films that were broadcast in the States during World War II).
So I had a thought - what better time than to introduce a new feature on this blog - Marvel Monday. In this, I'll be looking back at each of the Marvel films in chronological order starting with that old Spiderman film on Monday and working up to the present day at the rate of one a week. I would say "Thor: Ragnarok" but given that there's been 69 (!) Marvel films to date, it'll probably be something more recent than that by the time I'm fully caught up!
I appreciate that this project is very much gonna have its ups and downs - for every "Avengers Assemble" there's gonna be a "Daredevil", for every "X2", there's gonna be a "Ghost Rider" and for every "Spiderman 2" there's gonna be a "Howard The Duck". Plus lots of the '70s and '80s Marvel films which were effectively B-movies. But hey, we're celebrating the good with the bad here so it's all part of the fun (and yes, you're welcome to remind me of that statement when I'm offloading with the bile on something truly terrible).
So anyway, tune in here on Monday for the first instalment of Marvel Mondays. Hopefully there'll be some other new stuff up on the blog in the near future as well - I'm aware that I've been a bit neglectful of it this year but I intend to try and put that to right in the weeks ahead. See you all then.
