The trailers showed a King Loki in a throne room. We never got that scene. We got a massive exposition dump instead.

… so this will be one or two of the more affordable Abramsverse crew members stuck in a series of holodeck simulations that resemble vintage sitcoms?

I enjoyed being able to see a new MCU movie after all this time, but Black Widow highlights Marvel’s continuing problem. Villains.

yeah, same.

That stuck out to me too, as did the somewhat idiosyncratic spelling of the word tranche.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this Chariots of the Gods schtick draws some serious protests from (inter alia) evangelicals in this new ‘everyone has to be offended all the time’ world we’ve made for ourselves.

“I love Iron Man, and when I got offered Black Widow, I was obsessed with Iron Man. I wanted to work with Robert Downey Jr. It would’ve been amazing.

Good friend of mine is a dubbing engineer on *a couple of series of big budget films you will have seen*. They spend ages getting the timing and acoustic, as well as the voice actor casting and performance, as true to the original as possible. While this is great tech and I’m sure it’s going to find its way into…

Yes. Agree with all the people saying how great this is. I only read the first few issues because while people keep printing comics, they don’t seem to be printing money to match.

Mmmmm. You can really taste the generic.

Yes. Much as my Tile stuff is flaky and given to false alarms it’s at least a sensible forma factor. The second or third gen Apple ones with be the products to actually buy.

Yeah, since Paul Bettany’s epic trolling for the Wandavision finale I’m not gonna get burned again. It’s probably Anthony Mackie doing voice work for a new AI Redwing. 

WHY is Gamora?

Lokii.

Well, yeah… but I think that’s just a flimsy excuse they dreamed up.

One of the things that always bugged me about the Death Star fight between Obi Wan and Vader is the way the old guy keeps calling him “Darth” like it’s his name.

I thought Obi-Wan hadn’t seen Anakin since he turned him into a Sith Kebab.

Most of what needs to be said about this bizarre cultural artefact has already been said in these comments. But one thing has stuck with me:

This is actually a brilliant idea. The rise of deepfakes and that re-rub of The Irishman shows that the technology exists. Publish the movie as a toolkit and see what the fanbase makes of it.

… and I’m sure you don’t actually need me to remind you that it was written and performed by Jim ‘nephew of Carmine’ Infantino.
