And now we can retcon an explanation for why Quill *specifically* was able to survive where all of Ego's previous offspring failed.

Nice! Side observation.I noticed the face to the alien masks he sells is possibly inspired by the film magazines on the set of his show the day of the incident.

I think knowing as little as possible within reason is a good, if not always practical policy. IMHO though… I don’t think knowing that the ship is actually a creature beforehand detracts from the experience. At least for me, it wasn’t a “Oh shit, that’s what it is???” moment. Because it’s still an extraterrestrial…

I suspect that’s because the Eternals are the first Marvel heroes who seem really “divine” in the DC sense. Thor is a Norse god who can turn into an anthropomorphic bug zapper but he’s also a goofball who plays Fortnite and misses his mom. I don’t know if Zhao was intentionally responding to Snyder or if that was just…

Warner Bros. responds:

What’s Dust been up to? Oh nothing just containing the razor storm tidal wake of an entire MARTIAN MOON.

It’s not Dust-y enough in here.

The people have spoken and they want Worf

Allegedly the staff of the first venue refused to come in to work for the Chappelle event.

Stan Lee had nothing to do with the more noble characterization of Magneto. It was all Claremont, and Claremont specifically said in interviews that he generally based Magneto's viewpoint on Menachem Begin, and Xavier's viewpoint on Yitzhak Rabin, NOT on MLK/Malcolm X. 

I prefer interesting Moira X to long-time mostly expository character (and corpse) Moira MacTaggert. I would think even an old-school Moira fan would prefer her alive and doing things to the last two decades of her just being dead.

My favorite joke in the whole movie was Korg’s deity sitting on a throne of scissors.

Let me be the first to say:

HERC’S HERE
HERC’S THERE
HERC’S EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE

I don’t know where these people get the idea that they can peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.

SYBOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keitel was GREAT. Angel was sassy, sympathetic, and cruel, all while being unapologetic about who they were, and even helpful to Spock emotionally. Also, their character was unapologetically trans WITHOUT their villainy being centered around their being trans, which was super refreshing. I hope they become a recurring…

“The Killing Game” (4x19): Voyager is brutally seized by a hostile alien race, who proceed to maim and kill the crew in violent holodeck scenarios, resulting in huge portions of the ship being gutted, the destruction of sickbay, and untold, shipwide damage when freaking World War II spills out into the corridors.

Yeah it’s pretty dumb. There hasn’t been a decade in the last thirty years in which you couldn’t argue vampire shows had said everything there was to be said. And TWD and others said everything one could possibly say about zombies by like, season 3. But that didn’t stop people watching.

The whole “beat to death” meme is pretty dumb given vampire stuff has been arguably “beaten to death” for at the very least decades, but continues to be relatively popular. Buffy “beat it to death” before True Blood, and Vampire Diaries “beat it to death” after True Blood. All were relatively successful. It seems more…

Next you’re going to tell me Tig Notaro never met the cast of Army of the Dead.
