TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Cutest Grandmother Ever Is Binge Watching All The Marvel Movies To Connect With Her Grandkids More

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Cutest Grandmother Ever Is Binge Watching All The Marvel Movies To Connect With Her Grandkids More

Grandmothers are the absolute best.

This one grandmother has 13 grandchildren who range in age from 6-22. They are all obsessed with Marvel movies and super heroes. She wanted to be able to connect with them more and talk about things they like. So she decided to binge every Marvel movie starting with 2008’s Iron Man all the way up to the most recent Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 30 movies total.

The videos of her taking notes while watching from the couch have started to go viral on TikTok

Love this so much.
