Just finished Godzilla x Kong last night after 3 attempts at watching it. I fell asleep the first 2 times because I've been very busy and was too exhausted come evening. It was fun watching all the monster fights as usual, but everything else was just a mess of storytelling and felt like random lore thrown in to tie thing together.

I'm watching Civil War this week when I have the time.

As for TV, I finally watched the last episode of Sugar after 3 weeks of not being able to catch the finale. It was ok, but not good or bad or anything. I thought it was gonna be a one-off thing but it looks like they intend to have another season at least. Also started the first 2 episodes of Dark Matter but haven't had the time to continue yet.

Yes, I was left with the feeling that this was very much a kid's movie (despite the only audience when I went was me and another middle age bloke watching it on his own) when earlier outings didn't feel that way. I can feel my interest in the franchise waning considerably, at a time when the Japanese version just keeps getting better.
