    THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

    Hell Divers

    More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers–men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need. When one of the remaining airships is damaged in an electrical storm, a Hell Diver team is deployed to a hostile zone called Hades. But there’s something down there far worse than the mutated creatures discovered on dives in the past–something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.

    I think this works better as a conceptual story than an actual fully written out novel for me. There’s at least another 9 books in this series, so I’m definitely going to be skipping those. This isn’t a bad story at all, there’s a meaty plot that moves along quickly, but there’s not enough world building for my post-apocalyptic tastes, and I couldn’t get over the baseline concept of a floating war machine that’s survived in the sky for over 200 years with only a team of “Hell Divers” going to the surface to pick up supplies from a war torn hellscape infested with unfriendly creatures that might could be the radiological descendants of humanity. The method of getting supplies back up to the sky ships is also pretty dubious, just strapping a balloon to it and letting it drift back up to humanity. If you can get past my personal hangups, then this series might be up your alley!

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: Directed by Peyton Reed. With Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer. Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne, along with Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, explore the Quantum Realm, where they interact with strange creatures and embark on an adventure that goes beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.

    I know you’ve seen reviews that knock this film, but honestly this was a fantastic movie that blew my socks off about 15 times. You really don’t need to know much about the character other than he’s named Ant-Man, they spell everything else out for you throughout the film, and there’s not much to the story that needs explaining. Sure, if you watched season one of Loki, you’d get some extra understanding of what’s coming down the road, if you’ve seen the first two ant-man films, you might appreciate some of the bad guy’s motivations a little more, but none of it is necessary. What is necessary though is a frame by frame slow motion of about 30 scenes when I eventually get this on disk, because the world building and character designs are by far some of the best out of any of the MCU movies to date.
