Glad you liked it! I do wonder if we’re kinda getting to where we’re just done with superhero movies. How many remakes of Batman, Superman, etc., do we want? And we might be reaching a point where the improvements in special effects (which kinda made some of these movies be the hits they were) are giving diminishing returns. Now it’s safe to assume that pretty much anything blowing up, on fire, levitating, etc. is just all CGI or similar—and we can’t tell the difference. Combine that with only so many superhero plots—basically about three—and there’s a recipe for boredom in there somewhere. Plus, of course, the deeper need for something to more or less believe in after we’ve seen the man behind the curtain for the current state of things.
I will freely admit that I’m not especially familiar with Uncle Scrooge and family. I know of ‘em, of course, but that’s about it. I guess I’ll have to give ‘em a go.
“So, what else ya got?”
ROTFL... Absolutely perfect.

"So, what else ya got?"
The life I'm livin' right now.
Best action I ever saw.
I'm never bored.
A new exploit every day.
Where'd I learn it?
Uncle Scrooge comics.
I was given a subscription when I was 4.
That's how I learned to read.
Had a box full by my bed
and came to know them by heart.
All through my life I have seen how Carl Barks
(the writer/creator of Uncle Scrooge
and his nephew Donald Duck and kids Huey, Dewey and Louie)
had prepared me to create a life of adventure.
His stories were allegorical renditions of how life can be.
Wonderful, uplifting, morally edifying tales.
So, you want something new?
Get hold of the adventures of Uncle Scrooge.

PS the best one is "Christmas In Shacktown"
