Is it a memorial bench?

Being made fun of about his looks pretty insistantly.

It faltered at the finish line, and then kept faltering down the road for another marathon's distance.

Luckily, a timpano delivery place just opened up down the street!

I was thinking "food in movies never makes me hungry" as I was going down the list but… yeah, Big Night is a big exception.

I'd be lying if I said that it didn't compensate a bit :)

Thank you, The Fuckskilling.

I'd say something about calling other people bullies when Trump is doing… that, which is literal bullying, like schoolyard stuff.

I don't know, I think like I was saying in my original comment that you're looking for exactly the Avengers situations and nothing else: introducing the (protagonist) characters has been 100% done in other movies 100% (minus the dissonant hey this next movie scene) devoted to that before the movie even begins.
