Might be more like the Tolkein movies in which it actually adds to the story.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good
It's weird editing videos that are not hockey related plus starting a new channel. Just finished my latest video.

There are definitely YouTube channels who are making a living off of being outraged by Star Wars, but for example, one of those channels is called 'Geeks + Gamers' and they just put up their video for Ant-Man and The Wasp and the guy could barely be more effusive in his praise.
People like Moviebob are heavily invested in the "manbabies hate women in movies" narrative. It is how they brand themselves; in opposition to "manbabies". Seeing as the fake outrage about movie posters for Ant-Man and The Wasp fizzled out well before the movie even released, and now that "the fandom" along with general audiences are praising the movie up and down, Moviebob and his ilk need to move on to speculative outrage over the next female led superhero movie.

It's a wolf v2.0
Been in the trenches on one side maybe what he's saying is actually true but it's just going to be a small obscure internet fight that no one pays attention too?
I actually generally like MovieBob. I don't tend to follow channels on youtube, but I had come across his video game stuff (game overthinker) before he got/started the MovieBob gig on the Escapists, where I continued to watch his stuff every week. From the video game part he's an old school Nintendo geek who's opinions there meshed well with my own, and also an avid comic book geek and movie buff so a good guy to follow as the Marvel movies were coming out. Hadn't actually watched any of his reviews for a few years but a month or two ago I got back into some.
...and yes, he really dove head first into these internet culture wars. It was always there to a small degree before so he's not really faking it, but he's really ramped it up. While I generally agree with him when the opportunity presents itself he takes way too much joy in diving in and trashing "manbabies" in his reviews, to the point where it seems like he'll like a bad movie specifically because the 'anti-sjw' crowd hated it.
So I don't know maybe being over the top like that gets you a better market share on youtube?
That is a big part of it. On both YouTube and Twitter you are going to have a very hard time getting noticed without taking some outlandish positions. And so if you rely on YouTube/Twitter visibility for your income then you are going to be particularly susceptible to those temptations.
A lot of his old content is great, but I think he is either slipping professionally, or just losing interest in the "nerd culture" stuff he made his name on. He has become just an old, Andy Rooney type, endlessly grousing about The Last Jedi, Batman v Superman and manbabies.

I am really looking forward to Black Panther 2, much moreso than the first. The first was all well and good, but it was still an origin story. I'm looking forward to BP2 spending more time in the US and him teaming up with other heroes. Id love some Blacn Panther and Spidey cross over...but then I would also like Spidey teaming up with anybody.

Have they announced the release date years for Spiderman 2 and GotG3?
They should just hold another one of those press conference showings like they did a few years ago to show everything from Civil War to Infinity War. Its smart to wait till after A4 then announce a bunch of stuff and get people excited again.

I believe there are threads on both. I know that GotG3 has started shooting in Atlanta.
This is the release schedule right now and confirmed movies that we know are coming are Black Panther 2, GOTG3 and Black Widow.
GOTG3 will presumably be a 2020 release. Feb 12, 2021 is almost certainly going to be Black Panther 2, everything else is up in the air.

If they get the rights to FF and X-Men back they can keep a lot of interest going. It's definitely gonna be different without some of the big 4
Damn. That almost certainly spells the end for Iron Man/Thor/Cap/Hulk in that case.
I know it was pretty much guaranteed already for Cap and IM but I was really hoping we'd get to see more of Thor and Hulk. Especially Thor who I think has been Marvels most well written character from Ragnarok through Infinity Wars and heading into IW part 2.
