Saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and enjoyed it. The amount of comedy was annoying, since so many jokes felt pedantic and unfunny. I also don't like how Starlord has somehow devolved into more of a manchild as the movie progressed until he fights Ego. The way they handled Drax left me a bit disappointed too. I'm not against humor and giving a film a light feel, but it seemed like the characters were completely different at times and some of the dialogue choices could have been handled so much better. All that said, they deliver on action and set pieces, the actual drama was good to watch, and Teen Groot is one of the funniest damn things I ever saw. It's good enough to make into a little spin-off of some kind, like a comic strip or 4-5 minute animations.
I also saw Deathnote on Netflix. Good movie overall, had a nice steady pace for having so much information. I don't entirely get why they chose to keep the character names, instead of just making it more of an anthology series based around the actual Deathnote. The movie gave me vibes that this was an idea at some point, but someone wanted the character names in hopes of selling the movie. Someone I know put it best, it's probably the best teen horror film that's been put out in ages. Maybe it's because those aren't released very often anymore, but point is, the ride was fun.
