All Stars Memories Script

Yell: Everyone, thank you so much for coming to see our movie today!

Have you all got the Miracle Light from the entrance?

When the Precure are in a pinch, remember to wave your Miracle Light and cheer them on with an energetic voice!

Hugtan: Pwecure! Doo your bfest! Pwicure!

Harry: Ah!

Yell: B.U.T. Remember to sit properly as not to hit the people around you. And remember not to direct the Miracle Light at others’ eye too!

Harry: My eyes! My EYESSSSSSSSSS!

Yell: Do promise us the above, and let’s cheer on the Precures together! Now then...

All pink Cures: It’s about to start!

————————————————

Reporter: Direct the camera at it! This is bad news! All of a sudden, there’s a massive monster in the sea and— EH!?

Luminous: It’s coming!

Black: Abundant courage!

White: Overflowing hope!

Luminous:

All: EXTREME LUMINARIO!

Miden: A bright shine... I want it, I want it...

Reporter: We’re falling! Ahhhh!!! It’s gonna crash!!!!!

White: Phew... we made it...

Black: Just when we were about to go eat some chocolate parfait, now we got “stung on the face by a bee”

White: it’s fine, we can go now. Wait, the expression should be “got poured by a basin of water on the face”, right?

Black: but...

White: Luminous

Luminous:

Miden: Give it to me... Give it to me...!

Luminous: That Teruterubouzu doesn’t seem like a Zakenna

Black: You’re right.

White: What in the world is it?

Miden:

Black: I don’t know what’s going on, but if there’s something you want, you should tell us and not attack us without warning!

[Miden stops]

White: Huh?

Black: No way, we can communicate!?

Miden: Give it to me... Give it...

Black and White: Luminous! LUMINOUS!!!

———————————————————

Hana: Hugtan, come on, smile, smile.

Super cute!

You’re super cute today as well!

Now, show Hana-Chan some more cute expressions~~

Emiru: Hana-senpai hogging her is so unfair!

Hana: That expression is quite good, right?

Emiru: I know, right?

Saaya: Both of them are quite excited.

Homare: It was supposed to be a normal photo shooting.

Harry: Hugtan does look very good on camera.

Ruru:

Hana: Hey, girls!

Hugtto girls: Movie: Hugtto Precure

FwMH girls: Futari wa Precure

Together: All Stars Memories

Harry:

Hugtan: achoo!

Girls: [laugh]

Hana: Hugtan, [cleans Hugtan’s nose] stuff is coming out here, huh?

Hm? Stuff is coming out on this end too...

Saaya:

Homare: Let’s go.

Ruru: Leave this side to us

Hugtan: Hyugtan, turns clean, turns clean...

Harry: Hana, you all are getting familiar with this, aren’t ya.

Hana: Well, it has been half a year since we started taking care of Hugtan. At first I thought “How is this going to turn out?”, but now, since everyone’s here, no matter it’s taking care of Hugtan, or being a Precure, I can give it my all.

Ruru: Speaking of which, you girls have all been a baby like Hugtan before, right?

Emiru: Well, of course.

Homare: Oh! Because Ruru is an android, she had never been a baby before.

Ruru: I’m afraid so...

Hana: Then, if Ruru were to become a baby, what would she look like?

Saaya: A bolt?

Hana: A bolt? A bolt is like this... right? That?

Emiru: What’s the matter?

Hana: There, there...

Homare: W-what is that!?

Hana: Teruterubouzu?

Miden: Good day to you, I’ll now get all of your memories (Peach’s catchphrase: GET dayo!)

Saaya: Our memories?!

Homare: Although I have no idea what’s going on, we can’t just sit here and let it roam free, right?

Hana: Harry, take care of Hugtan!

Hugtto Cures: Mirai Crystal! HEART KIRATTO!

[skip intro]

Yell: I can’t hit it at all!

Miden: I’m in top form!

Yell: Ange!

Yell: You got it!

Etoile: What is up with this thing?

Miden: LUMINOUS HEARTIEL ACTION! WHIP DECORATION!

Yell: Just now... those were Precure attacks, right?

Etoile: Why can this guy...?

Miden: I just told you, I already obtained their memories. PRECURE DIAMOND ETERNAL!

MaCherie: Ah!

Miden: PRECURE PASSION DYNAMITE! Ole!

Yell: Hugtan!

Others: Yell!

Yell: Thank you, everyo— girl? Huh? Ehhhhhhh? Everyone shrunk!!!!!

Harry: This is bad!!!!!!

Etoile: Who are you?

Yell: It’s me! Cure Yell! It’s Hana!

Harry: Does she not remember?

Yell: No... Ange... MaCherie.. Etoile... Amour... Amour? Amour, where are you?

Harry: Hey, look at that.

Yell: Amour! Why have you become like this?

Miden: i obtained four new memories, iketenjan. Your memory will also be mine-nodesu!

Yell: Cure Black, Cure White!

Black: Are you okay, Cure Yell?

Yell: I... but everyone is...

White: I understand. At any rate, we should escape to bring them to a safe place first.

Miden: Umm... did you just say you want to escape? (Saaya impression)

Black: Jeez! You’re so annoying!

Yell: Amour!

[Real Amour gives her back the bolt]

Yell: Thank you.

Harry: Hey, isn’t that the real Amour?

Yell: Eh!? It wasn’t this?!

Black: Watch out!

Miden: I’ll take it!

Yell: Black!

Black: White!

White: I leave her in your care, Nagisa.

Black: Honoka!

Yell: Okay!!! Everyone! Hold on to me tight!

Miden: Well, it’s fine. I’ve already obtained this much! With this...

———————————————————

[lots of crying, mostly MaCherie]

Etoile: I don’t wanna be where monsters are!!!

Ange: Where’s my mom?

Honoka: I wanna go home...

Hana: It’s already okay, so don’t cry... [MaCherie cries more intensively and kicks Hana] Ouch! Ow ow ow ow ow!

Nagisa: There, there, there, look here, Honoka.

[cries loudly]

Nagisa: No good, huh?

Mipple: What should we do now-mipo? Honoka... Honoka is...

Mepple: Mipple, you have to cheer up-mepo!

Etoile: So cute!!!

Ange: These animals can talk!

Mipple: Stop it-mipo!

Mepple: Let me go-mepo!

Ange: Wait!

Etoile: Why are you running away?

Both: COME OUT!!!!

Nagisa: Don’t do that! (x2)

Hana: Ange! Etoile!

[horrifyingly loud but adorable cries]

Both older Cures: This is bad...

[Everyone panics over their own stuff while Amour sits and watch]

Nagisa: I’m sorry!

There, there!

Hana: we’re sorry!

Nagisa: Did we scare you?

Hana: I’m not angry anymore, okay? Uuu... why did it turned out like this? Nagisa-san, what is the Teruterubouzu just now?

Nagisa: Seems like it’s name is ‘Miden’

Mepple: it’s been going around stealing memories from Precures-mepo!

Mipple: If their memories are taken, then they would turn into small children like this-mipo!

Nagisa: The stained glasses Miden had in possession... I think those are the stolen memories from everyone.

Harry: Ah, so that’s why he could use all kinds of Precure attacks.

Hana: So that’s it... wait! If he already has that many stained glass windows, it means that Precures that are still unscathed are...

———————————————————

Miden: I’m back!

Miden: Welcome back!

Miden: Today, I got a lot of new memories! (Peach’s impression)

Miden: My memories have increased by that much! Ultra happy!

Miden: Wakuwaku monda! (Miracle’s impression)

Miden: I’m on top form!

———————————————————

Bloom: Whoa... what is this thingy?

March: The ball!

Diamond: Look! Look!

Sword: It’s dangerous...

Rosetta: We’ll fall!

Ace: Wah! It hurt-desuwa~~

———————————————————

Hana: Mechokku! So me and Nagisa-san are the only two Precures that are still ourselves?

Nagisa: This is so embarrassing...

Harry: Anyway, we have to hurry up and change Ange and the others—

All: WAHHHHHHHH?!!!!!!

———————————————————

Hana: Hey, Ange? Etoile? Where did you two go? [MaChérie’s shoe hits Hana’s chin] Ouch!

Hana: Jeez... MaChérie... Here, here, here...

[MaChérie continues crying and throw away her right shoe]

Hana: Mechokku...

———————————————————

Honoka: Chuutaro.

Nagisa: They just look alike, it’s not Chuutaro. Now, let’s go, we need to go look for Ange and the others.

[Honoka proceeds to caress the Chuutaro lookalike adorably]

Nagisa: Honoka...

———————————————————

Harry: Heeey! Hide and seek is over now!

Hugtan: I peed...

Harry: Gotta go change her diaper... Wait, oh no! I left all my belongings way over there!

———————————————————

Reporter: So tasty... the rich milk flavour is really the best!

Ange: Um... please help me, someone is chasing me!

Hana: MaChérie... I think you really didn’t need to throw away your shoe 38 times... Ah, there she is!

Reporter: Oh my...

Ange: My name is Yakushiji Saaya. I wanna go home so can you please help give my mother a phone call?

Hana: Come on! Come over here!

Reporter: Eh? That girl is not your big sister?

Ange: She’s someone I don’t know.

Hana: No, we know each other, we know it other! We totally do!

Ange: Because there’s a monster in that direction, I want to go home, but she doesn’t let me!

Reporter: You’re making me dizzy!!

Hana: Ah! I found the shoe!

[MaChérie cries and screams]

Hana: Why would you rub from this friendly Hana-oneesan and ask for help from strangers?

Ange: Because the people who works at the television station are my mom’s colleagues, they’re all mom’s friend.

Hana: So she still had the memories of when she was still a very young child...?

———————————————————

Random staff: Where are your parents?

Hana: Here, here, here! I’m her guardian, her elder sister! Sorry for the trouble!

———————————————————

Etoile: No! Let go of me!

Ange: I wanna go home!

[MaChérie continues to cry, but without tears]

Hana: MaChérie, don’t tell me you’re hungry...!?

Ange: Let me go! Let me go!

Etoile: Didn’t I just said let me go!? [bites Hana’s arm]

Hana: OUCH! What are you doing!? Good grief, quiet down!!!

Hana: [the realisation suddenly hits her] Sorry...

[MaChérie shouts, screams and cries uncontrollably]

Hana: I’m so sorry...

———————————————————

Miden: I’m bored... I’M BORED! (x3)

Miden: Why is this happening!? Even though my world has already become so bright!!!!

Miden: That’s right, Kiratto Hirameita!

———————————————————

Harry: [sighs] So glad that all my stuff is still here... Oh Hana! We’re here, we’re over here! So you got both of them back, nice job!

Hana: Putting that aside, can you prepare some milk?

———————————————————

Hana: Open wide, MaChérie...

MaChérie: NO! [proceeds to cry] Mama! Mama!!!

Ange: She wants to go home too.

Etoile: Of course, after all, no matter it’s the monster, or the big sister over here, both are scary...

Nagisa: Ah! I found you, Hana-chan!

Hana: Nagisa-san...

Nagisa: Thank goodness, you found the two of them.

Honoka: I want to go home! Help me!

Nagisa: Jeez... give me a break already, you made me sound like a kidnapper.

Harry: Ah! Are you planning to escape again!?

Hana: Etoile!

[Etoile cries, so does MaChérie]

Hana: Saaya, can you help me look after MaChé...

[Ange sobs]

Harry: Good grief, don’t cry anymore...!

Amour: Here you go.

Hana: Thank you...

Hana: Why did it turn out like this...? Why did everyone forget about me...? Saaya, Homare, Emiru, Ruru...

We’ve been through so much together... we’ve gave our all together... we’ve laughed together... I loved you girls so much... and yet...

Harry: W-what are you doing? You’re a Precure! This is no time to sit there and cry you—

Nagisa: Don’t say thing like that! Even if she’s a Precure, she is still just a junior high student! Coming face to face with a helpless situation, everyone will become like this! Me too... me too...

Harry: M-Miden!

Miden: The memories are still not enough, I’ll get your memories too! (Peach’s catchphrase)

Nagisa: Look out! Stay here and wait!

Harry: Hana! Nagisa! Run! If you two got turned into babies too, then it’s over.

Hana: Even if you tell me to... I need to retrieve everyone’s memories!

Miden: Hahahaha! If you don’t defeat me, their memories will never come back! I am now invincible!

Hana: Girls!

Nagisa: It... hurts...

Hana: Nagisa-san!

Mepple: What are you doing-mepo!?

Mipple: If Nagisa is not with Honoka, they can’t transform-mipo!

Nagisa: That’s right... That’s exactly why I need to take it back... Because I am nothing without Honoka...! Because I love Honoka so much! I still remember! We got into the same class coincidentally, we turned into Precure coincidentally, we argued, we ate takoyaki, we did some girl talk about love! Even if Honoka forgot, I still remember every bit of it!

Miden: Oh Nagisa, I still remember too. We went to our teacher’s wedding, we started in Romeo and Juliet in the Cultural Festival, we participated in the singing contest, and the time I found out Nagisa’s socks are a bit stinky...

Nagisa: But you are not Honoka! There is only one Yukishiro Honoka in this whole world! Even if you took away her memory, even if she’s really confused right now, that girl is Yukishiro Honoka! I will never give up! Give it back! Give my most precious person back!!

Miden: So annoying!

[heartbeat sound effect]

Honoka: Nagisa!!!!!!

Harry: This is...

Nagisa: Honoka?

Honoka: Nagisa?

Honoka: Nagisa.

Nagisa: Honoka...

Honoka: Are you okay? Jeez, you’re always so reckless...

Nagisa:I had to... I just had to...

Honoka: Thank you... it must’ve been painful for you... But, now I’m here... let’s save Hikari-san and the others together.

Both: DUAL AURORA WAVE!

[skip intro]

White: The memories you stole from our fellow Precures,

Black: return them to everyone right this instant!

Miden: No way... the memories went back to her...

Miden: Flowers, dance! PRECURE FLORAL TOURBILLON!

Miden: DON’T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELVES!!!!

Black: [in the background] We’re not finished yet!

Hana: I’m such an idiot... I’m the one who forgot...

Hana: Meeting everyone, becoming close little by little, the accumulating memories... have always been right here in my heart! I’m never alone... if I give in because of something like this... I’m not the “Nono Hana” I want to be!!! Go for it! Go for it! Wa.ta.shi (me)!!!

Hana: Sorry... Ange, Etoile, MaChérie, Amour... the ones being hurt the most were you all along. Wait for me, I will definitely return you all to normal!

Black and White: Yell!

Black: Once more!

Yell: I am not losing to anyone anymore! Not to you... not to myself!!! I have sparkling memories, and everyone, here to support me!!! That’s why, no matter what happens, I can keep going, I’ll show you I can!!

Miden: Shut up! I have more sparkling memories than you, much much more!! Eat this!!! No way!

Ange: Go for it!

Etoile: Do your best, Yell!

Other four Cures and Hugtan: Go for it, go for it, Yell!!!

Black and White: Everyone...

Other four Cures and Hugtan: Yell! Don’t lose to that thing!

Harry: Miracle Lights...

Miden: Those are... OH NO!

Yell: No!

Harry: Now’s the time, guys! Use them to cheer the Precure on! Ready...

Other four Cures: Go for it, go for it, Yell!

Harry: Again!

Other four Cures and Hugtan: Go for it, go for it, Yell! (x3)

Harry: Yes!

Yell: Yes!

Black: Go!

Yell: Thank you!

Yell: Girls... let’s go!

Hugtto Cures: PRECURE CHEERFUL ATTACK!

Yell: Ange, Etoile, MaChérie, Amour...

Amour: Thank you very much... I can’t find appropriate words to express my gratitude...

MaChérie: When we were inside of Miden, we were really worried, not knowing how it would turn out.

Ange: But Yell’s honest feelings turned us back to normal.

Etoile: I knew it! Yell, you’re the coolest!

Yell: No, no, that’s not it at all... When little children are crying, I should have held myself together, but I cried alongside you all... Even so, everyone gave me so much support...

Ange: It’s okay, it’s okay already.

Yell: But...

Etoile: Then... let’s say all of us are coolest, how about that?

Miden: This kind of stuff happened twice in a roll...

Black: You still here!?

Miden: The sparkling memories I collected with so much difficulty... MY memories!!!

Yell: “My” memories? You’re wrong! Those are our experiences, our memories! They weren’t yours from the start, you can’t claim them to be your possessions!!!

Miden: I... me too... I’VE HAD HAD ENOUGH!!!! (Blossom’s catchphrase)

Miden: Give it to me. GIVE IT TO MEEEEE!!!!!

Black: What is happening!? (x5)

Amour: We are ascending rapidly, measuring height above the sea... 500 metres... 1000 metres...

———————————————————

Black: Ow...

Black: What is this!? Arienai!!!

Ange: Don’t tell me all these are memories it stole...?

MaChérie: Ehhhh!? If that many memories are stolen, then a lot of people must’ve been turned into babies, if there are no adults, this world will be destroyed!

Black: Does that mean we can’t eat chocolate parfait anymore!?

White: That is what you’re worried about?

Miden: All memories are mine... I’ll never give them back to you!!!

Etoile: This is bad! We need to hurry up and defeat Miden to get back everyone’s memories!

Black: Let’s go!

Ange: Yell?

———————————————————

Ange: Where did MaChérie and the others go, I wonder?

Yell: we got separated...

Etoile: Regardless, that Miden, what exactly is he hoping to achieve here? I thought that he stole the Precures’ power and strengthen himself to do something really bad. But now he just hid himself in this palace and won’t come out.

Ange: Now that you mentioned it, what exactly did he stole memories for?

Etoile: At any rate, what is this place?

Yell: Looks like a very cute place.

Yell: Say, there’s this thing that kept bugging me. Just now, before Miden destroyed this...

{flashback:

Yell: They weren’t yours from the start, you can’t claim them to be your possessions!!!

Miden: I... me too...}

Yell: I can’t really put a finger on it, but I think that he looks a bit sad.

Ange: Speaking of which, when our memories were taken, they were actually kept inside Miden’s body.

Yell: Inside of Miden?

Ange: Seems like they were mixed up with many more of other Precure’s memories. Even though Miden looks like this bright and fancy place on the outside, his inside was pitch black.

Yell: Pitch black...

Yell: Hugtan, watch out! Mechokku!!!

Harry: Leave this to me!

Ange: Let’s go look for another path!

———————————————————

[screams]

Black: What is happening here!?

MaChérie: This is Mofurun, a friend of Cure Miracle!

Amour: This whole palace is built with the memories Miden stole, this space is a projection of fond memories of Cure Miracle’s, as evident above.

White: Thank you for your observation.

Black: What’s this?

MaChérie: STOP-nanodesu! It might be a trap!

Black and MaChérie: ‘clink’?

Black and MaChérie: Frozen mandarins?!

White: Look forward! Forward!

White: Black!

Amour: MaChérie!

White: Jeez... Black, you’re just...

Black: Sorry...

MaChérie: Everyone can use a calm partner like you—

[screams again]

———————————————————

Harry: How is it? Am I a good cushion?

Hugtan: Harry! Harry!

Harry: T-this is... All of them are Precures!!!!!!!!

Mint: Oh, look there!

Aqua: New friends!

Lemonade: And also a mouse!

Rouge: Let’s play pretend to be Precures!

Rose: Pretend to be Precures! (Don’t know how to translate, it should be a game that little girls play and pretend to be fairies and princesses and someone they aren’t and stuff.)

Yes!5 Cures: Pretend to be Precures! (x4)

Hugtan: Let’su plway!

Harry: Hugtan—Ah!

———————————————————

Yell: Hugtan!

Ange: Say, do you feel that the atmosphere here is kinda different from before? It feels so... lonely, like a graveyard in the dark of the night.

Etoile: S-stop it, Ange!

Yell: Don’t say these weird things!

[a bunch of screams and struggling]

Etoile: What are you girls doing!?

Black: S-sorry...

Yell: Ouchies...

Yell: What’s this?

Black: Isn’t that a camera?

White: It looks pretty old.

Ange: T-this is...! The legendary Miden F Mark 2!

Yell: You said M-Miden...

Ange: It’s this camera’s name! It’s the “ancestor” of the film camera recently made public, Midelta D9! At the time, the manufacturer went bankrupt after Miden F Mark 2 was made public, therefore only a very small quantity was sold on the market, [continues to go on, and on, and on]

Black: She knows a lot about this..

Etoile: She is quite knowledgable in this field...

Yell: Miden F... Miden... same name as that Teruterubouzu...

Miden: You saw it!

Yell: Miden!

White: What is this camera?

Black: What is this cheerless room?

Miden: SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!!! It’s... it’s not like I want to stay in this kind of place. Being trapped in that black box for decades, no one using me, only me and myself, waiting for myself to rot! This loneliness... what do you girls know!?

Ange: There’s nothing...

Etoile: In other words, Miden is a monster originated from an unused camera.

Ange: That’s why he had to steal our memories, he stole all the memories that could’ve been recorded with this camera...

Miden: The despair I felt after going through my empty life, not leaving behind anything... how would you understand any of it!!!???

Yell: Empty.

{flashback:

Yell: I have sparkling memories, and everyone, here to support me!!! That’s why, no matter what happens, I can keep going, I’ll show you I can!!}

Yell: Meaning that he doesn’t have any memories?

{flashback:

Yell: They weren’t yours from the start, you can’t claim them to be your possessions!!!}

Yell: That’s why, at that moment...

Miden: I’ll more happiness than anyone in the world from now on! I’ll make all the sparkling memories in the world mine!

Amour: Plundering others’ precious possessions with selfish reasons is unforgivable!

MaChérie: Besides, taking away others’ possessions will never make you happy!

Ange: What you’re doing will only make more people fall into misfortune!

White: Miden, please! Return everyone’s memories!

Miden: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!

Etoile: Looks like you have no intention to return them!

Yell: No memories, means that he has never felt happiness or joy ever before? From his birth to this moment, his heart has only been full of loneliness and pain? Those kinds of painful emotions... continuously occupying all he can feel?

No, even at that time, by my side, I had Harry, Hugtan and Nagisa-san. If I went home, I would see papa, mama, Kotori; in school, I have a lot of friends.

Nothingness... how does that feel?

Black: Now’s the time, White!

Yell: Wait!

Miden: I’m betting my pride as a woman on this!

Yell: Black! White!

Ange: What’s the matter, Yell?

Yell: I...

Miden: The remaining Precures are only you five, come on, give me your memories! (Partly Black’s and White’s catchphrase after transformation)

———————————————————

Harry: W-what’s going on!?

Harry: it’s them!

Hugtan: Look dhere!

Harry: This is really bad! We gotta help those two! [gasp] I can’t fit through! Now I’m stuck!

Sunshine: Oh, look at that.

Moonlight: Let me help too.

Both: Ready...

Harry: Ouch! (x10)

———————————————————

Miden: PRECURE MARBLE SCREW!

Miden: Don’t look at me with those eyes!!!

———————————————————

Yell: Where am I?

Yell: I see, this is the inside of Miden’s heart... it really is empty... he could only fall down endlessly by himself...

———————————————————

Miden: I did it! I really did it! With this, all memories belong to me! All the happiness in the world belongs to me! I can do anything, I can be anything! Happiness in full bloom! Completely arienai!!! Hahahaha!!!!

———————————————————

Hugtan: Hooray!

Sunshine and Moonlight: Hooray!

Harry: Not “Hooray!” at all! Now what should we do!? Even Yell and the others are down...!

Hugtan: No dhere! Yell no dhere! No dhere, no dhere, eferyone’s no dhere!

Harry: What should we do now?! Precure... totally wiped out!

Hugtan: Pwecure! Dhere are Pwecure!

Harry: That’s right! If this here girls all turned back to normal, everything will be fine. Wait... we can’t do it! We came from the future! We don’t have the memories to turn them back to normal!

Hugtan: Yell... Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, Yell...

Harry: Hugtan...

Hugtan: Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, Ange... Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, Etowale... Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, MaShéwie... Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, Amour!

Harry: What’s wrong, Hugtan?

Hugtan: People! Can chweer!

Harry: I see! There’s still that method! That’s my Hugtan!

Harry: Hey, all the audience that came to see the Precures’ movie! That’s right, all of you who have the Miracle Lights with you! Which Precure do you like? Cure Yell? Or Cure Ange? There are still a lot of Precures other than them too! Cure Whip and Cure Miracle, Cure Flora and Cure Lovely, there are lots and lots of Precure!

You don’t have to cheer for just one of them, cheer for all the Precures you’ve loved up till this very moment!

Remember how you cheer on them with all your might in front of the television! How cute they were, how cool they were! Anything! Try to recall all of that!

The memories that all of you once cheered on them can definitely turn them back to normal! Help us revive your favourite Precure! Now, wave your Miracle Lights! Let’s cheer on the Precures together!

Let’s go! Ready...

Hugtan: Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, Pwecure!

Harry: Just like that, louder!

Harry and Hugtan: Go for it, go for it, Precure! (x11)

Black: White!

White: Black!

Both: Luminous!

Luminous: Girls!

Whip: Great! We’re back to normal!

Custard: Yes, thank goodness!

Harry and Hugtan: Hooray!

Harry: Everyone returned to normal!

Hugtan: Go fwor wit, go fwor wit, thank you!

Ange: Huh?

Etoile: Why is Yell the only one who’s not here?!

Amour: Is she mixed up with all the other Precures?

MaChérie: Ahh! Don’t tell me she fell all the way down from here?!

Ange: Maybe...!

———————————————————

Yell: As if... I could just leave like that...!

Miden: W-what are you doing inside of me?!

Yell: If I leave right now, you’ll become alone again!

Ange: I see... just like something Yell would do.

Etoile: Watching this, I suddenly recall the time I became friends with Hana.

Whip: That’s it, no matter who it is, kirakiraru can be born from everyone’s heart.

Miracle: Then, no wait, it’s because of that, the desire to create a miracle is born!

Black: Alright! Let us set off as well!

Harry: Okay! We’re in charge of cheering you girls on!

Hugtan: Pwecure, do your bfest!

———————————————————

Miden: Stop it!! Don’t make a scene inside of me! I have nothing to say to you! GET OUT!!!

Yell: Not a chance! I want to talk with you! Before I can properly communicate with you, I won’t leave!!!

Miden: You only need to give me your memories! Don’t create chaos inside of me willfully!!!!

———��———————————————

Ange: Wait for us, Yell!

Etoile: What are those?!

Yell: Always...?

Miden: I know nothing except this scene...

Yell: Miden, you are pretty incredible, huh? You’ve always been here, you just couldn’t help feeling so cold you can’t even move, but you tried to use your own strength to make a change, didn’t you?

Miden: But nothing changed. You said so yourself, didn’t you? You said that I will never ever be satisfied in the end.

Yell: That’s not right. You can’t be satisfied with memories you stole from someone else, that’s what I said.

Miden: It’s the same thing...

Yell: That’s wrong, completely wrong. You can’t take memories from others, you have to accumulate them little by little with your own experiences. These would be your real memories!

Miden: Real memories... that belong to me?

Yell: Yes, you can do it with us, we can eat delicious food, go shopping, take care of Hugtan, go on a picnic. We can cry together, laugh together, be angry together, be surprised together. Let’s make some sparkling memories starting now!

Miden: Starting now...

Miden: But I’m already... filled to the brim with hatred...

Yell: It’s okay, you can still change the future starting right this moment. You can do anything, you can be anything, go for it, go for it, Miden!

Ange: Yell.

Yell: Everyone!

Black: Jeez, you’re so reckless, arienai!

Yell: Black, White.

Etoile: But, you did manage to talk it through, right?

Yell: [nods] To retrieve the stolen memories, and then, to help Miden move forward. Everyone, please lend me your power!

Black: Miracle Lights...

Black and Yell: PRECURE RELEASE SHINING MEMORY!

Whip: Our memories... I remember that even though we failed all the time, we didn’t give up what we loved.

Miracle: I remember the more I treasure someone, the more scary it is to say goodbye.

Flora: I remember a few times I was lost in despair.

Lovely: Even though shocking things happened continuously,

Heart: we went through many exciting moments.

Happy: I remember I felt ultra happy with everyone every day.

Melody: Those fun memories are now resounding in my heart.

Blossom: Even so, there were times I wanted nothing more but to cry...

Peach: The rain was so cold, my heart felt hurt...

Dream: Everyone’s heart had once been broken, it was painful.

Bloom: Still, because we weren’t alone, we hung in there!

Black: Because there are people we loved right by our side, even when we’re scared, we stood up again and again!

Yell: That’s why, Miden, today our encounter with you, and all the suffering we all went through, will certainly become memories too, and then bring courage to us in the future. The one who taught us this, is none other than you, Miden! You are the one who connected all our memories, that’s why I believe so! Thank you, Miden...

Miden: Thank you...

Yell: Let’s make a promise, Miden, to create the same amount, no, more memories than before together, okay?

———————————————————

Saaya: Here, Hana.

Hana: thanks

Hana: Wow, this is sparkling!

Saaya: Since I already inserted the film.

Emiru: Come on, Hana-senpai, if you don’t hurry up, everyone will be kept waiting.

Honoka: I know, right?

Nagisa: How is it, did you took photos of a lot of memories?

Hana: It’s still not enough! From now on, we’ll make many, many, as many memories as it can store! Ehehe, you future is looking bright!

Marvel Films Ranked (1998 to 2016)

Comic book films. In my opinion, they are their own genre now. Why is this? Well, look how many are coming out in a year nowadays. A good portion of the summer blockbuster season belongs to the superhero genre alone. Over the past twenty years, there’s been a superfluous amount of Marvel films. Many of them meh, some of them good, and others flat out atrocious. So, I have compiled a list of my personal rankings on the matter. Let’s knock this out.

Also, I will be discussing spoilers at a few points, so beware.

THE ATROCIOUS TIER

43. Man-Thing (2005)

Want to know how bad Man-Thing is? The entire test audience walked out of the theater before the film was even done playing. True story. Because of this, the film was relegated to become a Sci-fi original movie instead of being released in theaters. Yikes. At least one of the film’s stars, Rachael Taylor, would go on to do much greater things in the Jessica Jones Netflix series as Trish Walker.

42. Hulk (2003)

No, that’s not an early development picture of Shrek. Ang Lee’s Hulk has a cult following who love the psychological approach he took to the film. That is cool and their opinion. However, this film harms me psychologically. From the lack of smashing things (It’s a Hulk film!), to the ludicrous plot, to the zombie dog fights, and the part where the Hulk flew on a plane to space, 2003′s Hulk is a boring mess that is not even fun for laughs.

41. Fantastic Four (2015)

What do you get when you combine a group of young, talented actors and a somewhat promising director with a studio that is desperately trying to hold the rights to their non-X-Men Marvel properties? A really, really bad movie is what. Fan4stic, as many call it, is an unorganized train wreck from the production issues down to the person who decided to film every scene in the dark The mid-2000′s films look great compared to this mess.

40. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

This movie did not even need to be a thing honestly. We got enough backstory of Wolverine in X2, and he is the main character in the first three films. Anyways, Origins is a flat out mess. Memory wiping bullets? Special effects worse than the first X-Men? (seriously look how bad his claws look) The Merc with a mouth missing his mouth?! This is just a bad movie. No wonder there were not any other Origins films like originally planned.

39. Blade: Trinity (2014)

Before being booked into a jail cell for tax evasion, Wesley Snipes and his new allies imprison the unlucky viewers of this film into a sentence of 113 minutes of pure boredom. Blade: Trinity is dull, forgettable, and takes away most of the fun the first two films had (even with Dracula as a villain!) It is hard to believe director David S. Goyer, writer of the Dark Knight Trilogy, directed this blood-reduced suckfest.

Still Pretty Bad Tier

38. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

Ghost Rider and the sort of sequel that nobody asked for should be the real title. While Nicolas Cage gives a better, and much loonier performance here, the storytelling and execution really came up short here. Spirit of Vengeance cannot decide what it wants to be. It goes from dark and serious, zany and erratic, to mid-2000′s Nicolas Cage mode at a dizzying and confusing rate.

37. Elektra (2005)

In all honesty, Jennifer Garner isn’t a bad Elektra. Not as good as Elodie Yung’s recent version, but Garner does the best she can with the awful script. The film takes itself WAY too seriously and does not have any sort of fun. Some of the plot twists are ludicrous too. The biggest flaw of the film though is the fact it focuses more on some random girl and her dad almost more than Elektra herself.

36. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

The second modern stab at Fantastic Four was unfortunately worse than the first. While I still actually like the casting, (especially Michael Chiklis as The Thing) no one can save the film from the deranged screenwriters who turned Galactus into a giant hungry cloud. The plot and execution also leaves some to be desired. At least it is not as frustrating as the Silver Surfer NES game.

35. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

If we are ranking the worst adaptations of actual comic book story lines, then X3 would probably take the top prize. Brian Singer’s departure from this film for the snorefest better known as Superman Returns tanked both films at the same time. Here, Magneto flat out looked like an idiot after his infinitely stupid plan back-fired. Cyclops died after five minutes of screen time and somehow did as much as he did in the other films. Mystique lost her abilities... for some plot reason. Angel did pretty much nothing after being the focus character in the opening tease. X3 is just a massive disappointment.

Tier of Mediocrity

34. Ghost Rider (2007)

How do you make a badass anti-hero a lot less cool? Give him the most generic origin story in history. Ghost Rider is honestly not an awful film, it just feels like a tired retread of every other superhero origin story. Oh, but that is not the only problem with the film. Some of the humor is really oddly timed and does not hit a lot. The villain is mostly unmemorable. Sam Elliott is really good when he is on screen, but the most the writers let him do is ride a firey horse in a straight line.

33. Spider-man 3 (2007)

I am actually surprised I ranked this as high as I did. Spider-man 3 is one of my biggest movie disappointments in history. The plot is over-bloated with WAY too many characters (3 villains?!) and subplots, Uncle Ben’s death is downgraded to an accident, and every scene Emo, Cool Peter Parker is in makes my facepalm and cringe at the same time. Yeah, that piano/bar scene is absolutely painful. Venom is absolutely wasted too. If there are so many problems, why is this film not lower? There are good scenes hidden inside this waste dump of a film. The scene in the tower where Peter rips off the symbiote is good. Another is the scene after the Sandman gains his abilities and struggles to pick up the locket. The first fight with Sandman is pretty good too. Overall, Spidey 3 is a disappointing, bloated mess.

32. Fantastic Four (2005)

The Mediocre Four return! The first modern Fantastic Four movie is complicated by a lame plot where the heroes are trying to get rid of their powers rather than use them. Also, the mis-fired plot is not executed very well as the scenes feel like somewhat connected moments patched together into a finished project at times. Although, not all is bad here. While the scenes feel all over the place at times, some of them are pretty fun. I personally like the entire cast, particularly Chris Evans’ Human Torch and Michael Chiklis’ The Thing.

31. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

This film is so forgettable and mediocre I almost forgot it existed. Not much else to say. Time to move on.

30. Iron Man 3 (2013)

All I really need to ask here, is why whose brilliant idea was it to turn the Mandarin into... whatever on earth he is in the finished product?! Late 2000′s M. Night Shyamalan? Seriously. It is kind of like when they were adapting the Harry Potter movies, if the director decided to turn Voldemort into a comic relief villain with Wormtail as the true villain of the franchise. Ugh. Besides that major error, I guess there is some fun action scenes in the film and Robert Downey Jr. is as good as always.

29. DareDevil (2003)

DareDevil is my favorite Marvel hero, so this film may be higher than a lot of other people put it. The casting of this film is pretty good as I think Ben Afleck’s Matt Murdock actually is pretty good. His DareDevil is decent in comparison.Jennifer Garner’s Elektra lacks some of the edge of the original character,but she’s not bad either. The problems here begin with execution. The scenes, like Fantastic Four, feel patched together and do not flow well at several points making the film feel a bit all over the place. It almost feels like an entire story line is missing. Hmm.....

Hey, These Are Decent Tier

28. X-Men Apocalypse (2016)

Instead of making Magneto looking like a dumbass, 2016′s X-Men film forces that label on Professor X. However, the film’s main problem is that the whole world takeover plot is really forgettable. Mixed in with all of the mediocrity are some good performances and memorable scenes. A couple of these include another ingenious Quicksilver rescue and when Magneto destroys Auschwitz. Otherwise, this X-Men film feels like eating Days of Future Past two week old leftovers.

27. Iron Man 2 (2010)

Iron Man 2: Filler Man. Seriously, Iron Man 2 almost feels like an anime filler episode. At the end of the film, the characters and the plot do not advance at all from where they were at the beginning of the film in the Expanded Universe. Mickey Rourke’s meh Whiplash did not really help much. However, Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and newly added Don Cheadle are all really good here. Additionally, Sam Rockwell gives a really fun performance as Justin Hammer, making him one of the better pseudo-villains of the MCU.

26. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

First off, The Amazing Spider-man is definitely not a bad film. Actually it is a pretty decent film. The film’s downfall is it feels like a complete retread of the 2002 film, and even the most talented cast cannot save that. I actually laughed last time I heard how hard Uncle Ben tried to rephrase, “With great power comes great responsibility.”. The Lizard is a decent villain, but he’s nowhere near as good as either villain from the first two Raimi films. Basically the TASM is a lower quality version of a movie that already exists. The lone big improvement I can think of is the love story and Garfield’s Spider-man.

25. Thor (2011)

Chris Hemsworth was the perfect cast as Thor, as was Tom Hiddleston as Loki. The scenes in Thor in which the two interacted were a blast to watch. However, everything else was just decent. There were some comical scenes, such as when Thor screams “Another!” and breaks the glass on the floor, but everything else in the real world did not really leave a lasting impact on me. Not a bad film, but not near Marvel’s best effort.

24. Punisher: War Zone (2008)

Some of you reading this are probably shaking your heads in disgust or absolute confusion. How on earth did this commercial and critical failure rank this high on my list? War Zone is probably one of the most entertaining films I have ever seen in the ridiculous, over-the-top action movie genre. Ray Stevenson is a good Punisher. More importantly, Dominic West’s Jigsaw along with Doug Hutchison’s Loony Bin Jim are so over the top and cartoony that they make Colin Farrell’s Bullseye look down to earth. Everything is so overly violent, completely stupid, and laughable in this film that it entertains every time I re-watch it. That is why War Zone ranks this high.

23. The Amazing Spider-man 2 (2014)

Similarly to the last entry, some may question the higher rank of TASM 2 and the fact it is higher ranked than its generally better received predecessor. TASM 2 definitely has a web of problems, but not all is bad. The chemistry of Garfield’s Peter Parker and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy is really, really believable and well done. While many others did not, I actually liked Dane Dehaan’s Harry Osbourne due to his different approach to the character. Despite these positives, tone uneveness (Jamie Foxx’s Electro for instance) and a general lack of direction at times really brings TASM down from the better film it could have been.

22. Doctor Strange (2016)

Doctor Strange is really uniquet. As one may expect of an actor of his caliber, Bennedict Cumberbatch is a really nice fit as the title character. Also, the soundtrack kicks some major ass. However, the villains of the film are really mediocre and some of the most forgettable in the MCU, which is saying a lot. A good film, but just midpack in a solid library.

21. Blade (1998)

The first of the modern Marvel films still holds up pretty well today. Well, for the most part. As I have stated before in another list, Blade’s opening scene is one of my personable favorites to any film. It is scary, gross, and sets the perfect tone for the rest of the film. Wesley Snipes was a perfect casting choice as Blade, and the rest of the casting was pretty solid as well. However, a mediocre ending, some laughably bad dialogue, and some silly concepts (vampires wearing sunscreen?!) hold Blade back form being as good as its sequel.

We’re Starting to Get Pretty Good Films Tier

20. The Punisher (2004)

I feel as if Thomas Jane’s Punisher movie is one of the more underrated gems in Marvel’s cinematic history. Jane had a really nice performance as the title hero as he captures both the vengeful vigilante and tragic hero complex of the comic book character. Many of the action scenes are tight, and the film contains several memorable scenes. (The ripping out piercings scene, for one) However, I feel like the film is almost holding back and playing it safe at points. Solid film, but definitely could have been one step greater.

19. The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Age of Ultron is a film that almost lands with a thud, sort of like the city that fell from the sky. The Avengers sequel is a good film, but feels underwhelming. The great James Spader is never given enough to do as Ultron, the plot is almost too over the top, and it feels underwhelming compared to Cap 2, which came out a year prior. However, the cast chemistry makes the film fun to watch as you can see they are having a great time making it. All of the action scenes are well done as well. Also, giving Hawkeye a personality was nice touch.

18. Blade 2 (2002)

Blade’s second adventure on the big screen took the impressive fight scenes from the first film and gave it a better story to go along with it. Adding Guilermo Del Toro to the mix helped out the cause too. While the film is far from perfect due to some questionable plot twists, Blade 2 is an enjoyable in a unique way.

17. The Wolverine (2013)

The Wolverine’s story is pretty forgettable, but wow does it have some of the best action set pieces of the X-Men franchise. The setting is super cool, maybe it is because of my Japanese culture bias, but I love the atmosphere and locations in this one. Not much else to say. An entertaining watch even if other X-Men films are better than it. It is a Hell of a lot better than Origins at least. *shudders*

16. The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Wow, 2008 was a fantastic year for superhero movies. DC released The Dark Knight and Marvel had Iron Man. The Incredible Hulk got lost in the mix a bit, but the reboot of Bruce Banner’s rage monster was another thoroughly entertaining superhero film. The movie gets a little generic near the end with its giant monster CGI fight, but 2008′s Hulk is a pretty nice picture. This Hulk ALMOST makes me forget about Ang Lee’s atrocity.

15. X2: X-Men United (2003)

To many fans of the superhero genre, X2′s placement on this list may seem pretty low. Honestly, I have always felt that X2 was a bit overrated. However, that does not mean that X2 is not a great film. The story-telling is mostly tight, the characters’ motivations are realistic for the most part, and it utilizes flashbacks well. (a rare occasion) One of my grievances from the first film still remains in the sequel: Cyclops does absolutely nothing. Oh well, he gets killed in five minutes in the X3 anyway.

Exceptional Film-making Tier

14. DareDevil: Director’s Cut (2004)

Okay, now this could be borderline cheating. However, the director’s cut version of DareDevil is so much better than the theatrical cut that I had to put it on this list. The box for the Director’s Cut says the version adds a “Devilish new subplot”. I think it should just say it adds a plotline that connects everything and makes the film make a lot more sense. Matt doesn’t stay on the rooftop with Elektra, The Kingpin murders an employee of his to show how scary he can be, and the court plot receives nice depth. Coolio is actually pretty good in his role in this cut as well. This version still does not fix the asinine decision of not killing The Kingpin or erase the odd playground fight scene, but give this one a watch if you have not seen it.

13. X-Men: First Class (2011)

First Class stopped the bleeding from the last two awful X-Men films. Most importantly, it brought us Michael Fassbender’s fantastic version of Magneto. (James McAvoy’s solid Prof. X as well) The scene where Magneto forces the coin through his mother’s killer’s head is one of the best in the X-Men franchise, at least in my opinion. While First Class is a solid film, it still feels like a prologue for something to come. Also, it was “outclassed” by its sequel...

12. Ant-man (2015)

This high of a position may surprise people for Ant-man, but Ant-man is just too fun not to enjoy. Paul Rudd was a perfect cast for the title hero possessing the necessary humor and right amount of emotion to carry the role. The rest of the supporting cast of heroes is also really well cast anchored by a sterling performance by Michael Douglas. However, much like many other MCU films, the villain is just pretty meh. Just an evil bald guy with a similar suit to Ant-man.... sound similar to Iron Man at all?

11. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

If one stops and thinks about it, Cap: The First Avengers plot is pretty average and extremely safe plotwise, but the Captain’s likability factor is so high that it carries the movie’s plot through a lot of its,,, shortfalls in originality. The First Avenger takes an old-fashioned film and gives it the perfect pinch of new age style to make it about a perfect blend. Evans’ Steve Rodgers and Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter also have top tier on screen chemistry, which makes the main couple of characters even more likable.

10. X-Men (2000)

With help from 2002′s Spider-man, X-Men was the major catalyst that kicked off the modern superhero era of film. Guess what? X-Men stands up pretty well today. There is good action, fun characterization, and a couple decent twists. Guess what else though? Cyclops does not do anything here either besides be an asshole to Logan. The directors really neglected his character for some reason.

CLASSSICS Tier

9. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

After First Class dragged the X-Men films out of the pits of Hell, Days of Future Past took the franchise even deeper into its past’s glory. Get it? Past? Anyways, much of the stellar cast from the prior film return along with the best members of the original trilogy films.The end result is a film that combined the best of both time periods. Oh, and Quicksilver’s few minutes of screen time were amazing. Not much to knock here.

8. The Avengers (2012)

Thought this would be number one didn’t you? Well, some annoying plot holes and hype caused it to fall a little bit here. Those problems withstanding, The Avengers is terrific film that most comic book enthusiasts hoped for since childhood. All of the heroes finally group up and take on one of the worst baddies of all. In this case, it was Loki, by far the MCU’s best villain. Containing excellent scenes, such as the Hulk tossing Loki around in the room , and clever dialogue, The Avengers is just a pure fun film.

7. Spider-man (2002)

For a long time, this was my favorite film. Period. Nowadays, I still really love the film that kicked off my love for Marvel superheroes. Sam Raimi seems like an odd fit based on his past work looking back now, but it ended up being a solid match. To this day, Spidey is one of the better superhero origins story due to its mix of heart, humor, and fun. The Green Goblin is still one of the better Marvel movie villains. (even though I still do not understand why exactly Gobby hates Spidey so much after the halfway point of the film after accomplishing his original goal...). Even without the webshooters, Spider-man is a top tier Marvel film to this day.

6. Captain America: Civil War (2016)

After massive lead up and hype of one Marvel’s most famous story lines, Civil War delivered on most fronts. The main flaw was the plot relies on conveniences. While the villain’s plan is cool and different, it would NEVER have worked in retrospect. Besides over-critiquing, Civil War was pretty much all I wanted it to be: a battle royale between two balanced teams. (although Iron Man definitely had a strength advantage...) The airport scene, the Black Panther street chase, and the final fight are all some of the best in the MCU. Good job not letting us down here Marvel.

5. Guardians of Galaxy (2014)

The men and women behind the scenes at the MCU are geniuses. They took an almost unknown property and made it into a cultural phenomenon. GoG was a huge sleeper hit for Marvel and myself, admittedly. I did not really think much of it during the trailer phase, but after seeing the finished product, I was beyond pleased. Guardians of the Galaxy is high octane from beginning to end and is a blast to watch. I am eagerly awaiting to see the continuing adventures of Star Lord and crew this next week.

4. Deadpool (2016)

I dreaded a Deadpool movie being made. I read and read the comics during my high school years and fell in love with the character. After seeing the Ryan Reynold Origins version of the character, I was furious. Why would you sew his mouth shut?! Anyways, I was luckily wrong in my doomsday theories for a Deadpool film. In fact, it is exactly the type of Deadpool film I wanted. It had hilarious jokes and scenes, fourth wall-breaking, ultra-violence, and Ryan Reynolds’ absolutely nailed the character. Not much more I can say that has not been said.

3. Iron Man (2008)

I feel sorry for this film. It was completely overshadowed by The Dark Knight that came out a month later. What a lot of people forgot was that Iron Man was a fantastic film that broke the chain of mediocrity from Marvel the past few years before. Robert Downey Jr. revived his career even further by playing a character he was born to play. However, I believe the best part of the film was the way it combined realism of the current conflicts in the Middle East to the fantastical technology of Tony Stark. Obadiah Stone was a decent villain, even if he is sort of forgettable now because most MCU villains have been clones of his. Despite that, Iron Man is stellar.

2. Spider-man 2 (2004)

For a long time, up until The Dark Knight’s release to be more specific, Spider-man 2 was the best superhero film of all time. (in my opinion at least) However, one surpassed it in Marvel land a few years back. Spider-man 2 has all you want in a Spider-man movie. A terrific anti-villain, a well-written inner main character conflict where he has to choose between two paths, and a plot that makes sense almost the entire way through. The train scene and the reveal of the lair behind the mirror are still two of my favorite Marvel scenes to this date. Once again, not much more I can say. This movie still rocks.

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

A surprising choice to some people I bet to some people, The Winter Soldier is an almost perfect superhero film. Cap’s sequel is a fantastic film in about three genres I can think of, including spy thriller. Kind of reminds of a 60′s Bond film with A LOT better special effects. The plot of the film is modern and well thought up and avoids the common problem of being trendy with current event plot ideas. That is a bigger feat than most films of the kind can say. Besides the modern, appropriate and politically astute plot, the best parts of this film are the fight scenes. In the first Cap, he didn’t get to show off his fighting skills very much. But here, he kicks some major ass. Oh, and Black Widow does too, in what I believe to be her best movie as well. Add in Falcon for a flatout kickass trio. Overall, Cap 2 is fantastic from beginning to end and never lets up. Way to to go Marvel.
