The Town of Odyssey

I'm super not into werewolf stuff, so I didn't even bother to watch the trailer. If I missed out on something awesome, someone let me know.

I like werewolf stuff as a general concept, but don't watch a lot of it because my horror tolerance is very low. It's hard to judge the tone this is going to have from the trailer so I'll be looking for further information when it releases on what it's like to see if I'll check it out.

Yeah the tone is a little all over there. I'll probably watch it (because its short, its Marvel, and I sometimes like weird creepy things depending), but I'm not sure what to think. The cut of the trailer is sort of like a combo of old Universal Horror from the 1930's and 40's, but kind of mixed with grindhouse/exploitation films of the 70's or whatever. I know they finally dumped some more violent stuff on Disney Plus in the US but I doubt it's going to be anything too remarkably gory, but I guess we will see. >_>

They do have Deadpool and Logan on there now, but that's sort of technically grandfathered in from Fox and not MCU proper.

I will eagerly await the Top and bookworm reviews.

Skimming some reviews to try getting tone descriptions but avoid content spoilers I'm gathering that this seems to be more stylized than outright scary ('love letter' to 30's horror movies was the director's description), and Kevin Feige said it's "introducing a world that will ultimately become quite important to the future of the MCU" so I'm going to go ahead and check it out.

I think I'll wait to watch until Halloween evening; might as well put it to best use since there are so few horror type things I go in for.

Yeah, I was listening to the radio the other day when a movie review section was on and they said it wasn't too icky, plus that it was a one-shot and less than an hour, so that mildly increases the odds of me watching. Still not super high odds, but better than if it was a show or a long movie or gory.

I watched it. It was okay.

I watched it last night. Wow it was so not what I expected!

I thought it would be either really intense or really gory, maybe even both but surely one of the two, but it was actually neither. I'm not upset about that, I'm just very surprised. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to scares, but I was not on edge even a little bit at any time during this. It was notably more violent that anything else in the MCU, but not in the extremely visceral way that I would have expected something like this to be. (Being black and white surely helped it not come off as shocking as some of the scenes would have probably been otherwise.)

Interesting. It sounds like it's quite different than what I expected. I might just give it a try one day...maybe. Thanks for sharing, bookworm!
