Avengers go Shhh!

The new version of Avengers: Endgame, with changes made to the film to help hype the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, also had one of these "silence your phone" ads (I didn't see this in the theater; I'm happy with my copy of Endgame). The ad was very cute. I liked it, but I realized something: this is the first look we're getting of the new Avengers. I screen-capped it up above to let you see the new bunch (along with some old-timers). It looks like Doomsday is going to be BIG. You can see the ad itself below:

Fantastic Four: First Steps

Fantastic Four: First Steps was a extremely fun movie. After several tries, they finally made a decent film of this superhero team.

On top of it being a great MCU film, there's also some barefoot action for us here and there, like when Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) sheds the lower half of her astronaut suit to give birth aboard their spaceship.

And, we see Sue going barefoot in quieter moments, like during a conference with her team (and family) back at their home base.

Here, she's BF while clad in a different outfit than in the previous scene, consulting with Johnny (Joseph Quinn), her bother.

And Julia Garner, who plays this film's version of the Silver Surfer, goes barefoot in her origin scene, which shows how she became the Herald of Galactus.

She was barefoot when the change happened.

Which means the Silver Surfer is barefoot throughout the whole film, which is also nice (of course, she's also naked, too).

Captain Marvel

I was searching for some more scenes with Marvel Superheroes (still being on the superhero kick that I am) until I realized there was a MCU movie with a near perfect scene: Captain Marvel.

Brie Larson is perfectly cast as the titular hero, who winds up being one of the most powerful (if not THE most powerful) superheroes in the Marvel universe.

And, as if this wasn't enough, Captain Marvel even gives us a barefoot bondage scene! It's the sequence that comes at around 18 minutes into the film, when she's been captured by the shape-shifters and is hung upside-down.

Even after she escapes her upside-down bondage, Captain Marvel has a running battle with the aliens aboard their ship, and she's barefoot throughout.

At one point, with her hands still trapped in metallic bonds, she uses her bare foot to open a door.

She eventually burns off the restraints on her hands (and also finds her boots, darn it). But not until after going through a rollicking BF scene that also included bondage. Bravo, Captain Marvel! Thanks for this.

Avengers 2012 pt2

A few more things from Avengers 2012, like the first time we meet Tony and Pepper.

After fixing it so Stark Tower can run on its own energy, Tony--AKA Iron Man--(played by Robert Downey Jr.) returns to his sanctuary, where Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is waiting for him.

Pepper is barefoot throughout this scene, along with being clad in a nice pair of short-shorts.

Item 47 was a short film that was included in the Blu-Ray of The Avengers. It starred Lizzy Caplan as Claire, who finds a piece of alien tech and uses it with her boyfriend to rob banks. But SHIELD catches up with them. And, as a result, we have this nice shot of a barefoot Lizzy bound with plasti-ties.

Unfortunately, her boyfriend is also tied up right beside her, but it's still a nice little scene with a BF Lizzy.

Doctor Strange and the BF Witch

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was directed by Sam Raimi, who gave us the original live action Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire. The Doctor Strange sequel is very entertaining. And, acting as the icing on the cake, there's even an extended BF scene, as well.

Elizabeth Olsen plays the villain of the movie, a sorceress named Wanda (AKA The Scarlet Witch) who was a former superhero who got real dark when she lost her family.

She's seen battling the superheroes of an alternate Earth, and throughout the whole battle, Wanda is barefoot.

The reason she's dressed like a barefoot suburban housewife is because evil Wanda from Earth 616 has taken over the body of the good Wanda who lives there.

Near the end of the film, good Wanda confronts evil Wanda--and, apparently, it looks like good Wanda really enjoys going barefoot. Good for her.

Thunderbolts*

Thunderbolts* is the latest Marvel superhero movie to come down the pike (at least on home video; the new Fantasic Four film is out in theaters right now as of this writing).

I loved the Thunderbolts. It's the first really good Marvel superhero film in a while (oh hell, in a really long, long while!).

And the fact that it stars Florence Pugh (Dune: Part 2; Fighting With My Family) makes it even better for me. She reprises her Yelena role from Black Widow and Hawkeye.

And she gets tied up! Right along with Hannah John-Kamen, as Ghost. Granted, she's not barefoot and clad in the dress she wore in Dune: Part 2 (and she & Hannah also get tied up with a pair of guys), but it's better than nothing, at least.

When I first saw this scene in the trailer, I thought she was kneeling. But she and the others are actually seated on the edges of a grease pit in an abandoned gas station.

Guardians 3

I recently saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 on D+ and enjoyed it very much. Seeing how this was the third film in the series, I wasn't sure just how good it was going to be. I really wasn't a big fan of Guardians Vol 2, nor of the recent Christmas Special. And so I glumly sat down to see this just to complete watching the entire series, as it were.

But Volume 3 turned out to be so good that I think it's the best one of all of the Guardians films. The High Evolutionary was a perfectly-done villain who was just enough of a threat to our heroes, without becoming the epic, universe-ending menace that's become standard (and mundane) in the MCU movies. The ending was perfect in how it was both emotional and satisfying at the same time. And the ending of the film also offered what is probably the best use of Florence and the Machine's Dog Days Are Over ever. Highly recommended.

Note: there are no scenes of interest for us in this film.

You can see the video for Dog Days Are Over, which has some BF moments, below:

The Mystique of Mystique

I was watching X-Men: Apocalypse recently, and I noticed that Mystique, played by Jennifer Lawrence, got captured by the bad guys while she was in her full, blue-body-red-hair form.

When she was placed, knocked-out, aboard this helicopter, I had initially thought that Mystique had been strapped down to the stretcher. But this turned out to be not the case.

Although I always liked how, whenever she was in her blue form, Mystique would always be barefoot.

I also liked how Mystique used her feet just as much as her hands--like this scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past, when she's holding a guy against a wall with her foot.

This is one of my favorite Mystique moments from the films.

But Mystique was a bound prisoner in X-Men: The Last Stand. She used her unbound feet to take out a guard when the transport she was riding in crashed.

She then uses her foot to grab the guard's keys so she could free her hands.

Rebecca Romijn played Mystique in the first three X-Men movies, and she was great. Her Mystique seemed even more lethal and scarier.

The Marvels

They recently released the first trailer for The Marvels--aka Captain Marvel 2: The Captain Gets Demoted To Being A Supporting Player.

The trailer promises a wacky adventure in the vein of Freaky Friday where Captain Marvel trades her superpowers--and her location--with two other superheroes.

Somehow, with the new flick being A SUPER WACKY COMEDY, it's probably safe to assume that we won't get a repeat of the very nice scene from Captain Marvel, where Brie Larson's character is captured by bad guy aliens and is put in barefoot bondage.

And even after freeing herself, Captain Marvel goes barefoot aboard the alien ship for a while.

With her hands still encased in metal mittens, she's even reduced to opening doors with her bare feet.

It would be nice to hope that all three superheroic women in The Marvels get the same BF bondage treatment at some point, but that's probably not going to happen. In fact, based on what I've seen so far, I don't have much hope that The Marvels will be a very good film overall, but time will tell.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever

I was happy when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever made its debut on Disney+. I was really looking forward to watching the Black Panther sequel for two reasons: I wanted to see how they would deal with the death of the late, great Chadwick Boseman, and how they would deal with the Sub-Mariner--aka Namor, the King of Atlantis. They wisely deal with Black Panther's death right up front, in the very first scene, which was extremely moving for me to watch (he dies of an undisclosed illness, which is apt). While the movie moves on with its plot of dealing with Namor, it's really nice how T'Challa's spirit is still very much felt throughout the film.

Namor is also very well done. Well-played by Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Namor's background is changed from Atlantis to the leader of Talokan, a sunken empire based on Mesoamerican culture, and it really works very well. I'm curious to know if Marvel changed Namor's background because of the success of 2018's Aquaman, which used the Atlantis legend to great effect. Regardless, I dig this version of Namor, and look forward to seeing him show up again in the MCU.

You should also know that this is a very nice barefoot movie, with plenty of BF scenes with Namora (Mabel Cadena) and the other women from Talokan. I enjoyed Wakanda Forever very much. Imperius Rex!

Dr. Strange 2

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness is an extremely entertaining film on so many levels. And, as if like the icing on the cake, there's even an extended BF scene, as well.

Elizabeth Olsen plays the villain of the movie, a sorceress named Wanda (AKA The Scarlet Witch) who was a former superhero who got real dark when she lost her family.

Long story short: she's seen battling the superheroes of an alternate Earth, and throughout the whole battle, Wanda is barefoot.

The reason she's dressed like a barefoot suburban housewife is because evil Wanda has taken over the body of the good Wanda who lives here.

Near the end of the film, good Wanda confronts evil Wanda--and, apparently, it looks like good Wanda really enjoys going barefoot. Good for her.
