The Marvels (2023) (with special guest Donald ) - Desert of the Reel #39

While The Marvels (2023) is a massive dumpster fire of terrible dialogue, mediocre CGI, terrible lighting choices, and a plot stolen from Spaceballs (1987), we all agree the Kamala Khan is a bright light in an otherwise dismal cinescape. However, this film does inspire critical-thinker-in-chief Ryan to come up with four excellent questions that Donald and Jason bat around.
Also, this episode features a live performance of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and the London Philharmonic Orchestra!

The penultimate Marvel episode! Guardians of the Galaxy 3 gives us so many incredible moments. We discuss what we liked and didn't like, look at the philosophy, and analyze the story. Jason may or may not like the emotional ending.
Is Drax the best Marvel character? Is this the best trilogy in the MCU?
This movie offers many great ideas to analyze and discuss. Can we have a utopia in this life? What would we need to do to create one? What can we learn from the villain? Does the villain make any good points?
