It seems like Tony giving the suit back (complete with upgrades) would be in the denouement, since Peter will have proved that he and not the suit is Spider-Man. So the second- or third-last scene, I'm guessing.

Our women's curling team is consistently very cute. Nobody knows why.

The Starcraft series has always been interesting in that the incredibly labour-intensive, fiddly micromanagement that good play demands is a feature rather than a bug.

I liked how quickly he made his peace with it, at least by all appearances.

For the record, I'd put the chances at less than a hundred to one that "Mother" is actually the mother of the Daughters of Aku.

Yeah, I strongly believe that the mounted warrior is what Jack fears becoming.

I could easily believe that, provided human civilization recognizably survives to the year 2300, YYK will still be somehow tasked with making the solar system's most reliable zippers. They just … work.

Wait wait, you cared if Jacob lived or died?

Witcher 3 is pretty great; I recommend it highly.

That's always the question with any warrior race, isn't it? In a society where >50% of the social interactions involve headbutts and stabbing, how the hell did anyone manage to build a civilization? Where are the bookkeepers and the farmers and the people enjoy spending their nights solving difficult math problems?

I found Meer better as a boyscout. He's a bit of a boring block of wood, but that's a Paragon for you. Hale gave a great performance as a Renegade.

A very good point. I remember conversations with Tali in the Normandy I's engine room looking stunning, with the huge engines and pulsing purple lights and suchlike. The flat neutral lighting is dull as hell, especially as almost every dialogue sequence is just shot-reverse shot.

And a ridiculous misfire in Diamondback. I think I see what they were going for—and he's definitely a contrast to Cottonmouth—but holy shit did they call that one wrong.

One of the ironies of Daredevil is that Matt's basic black headscarf look was arguably much cooler looking and more evocative than his finished costume. It almost looked like something a vigilante would actually wear in, like, the world.

It's still a little puzzling that the series has in some ways been visually downgraded over the years. There are many scenes in ME1 that hold up beautifully even today.

Oh, everybody has nuclear weapons in 24-land. Or weaponized anthrax or a baker's dozen of cruise missiles or some other damn thing.

I understand that there are canonical reasons that Buffy is a great fighter. But she still doesn't look convincing kicking stuntmen through walls.

A girl with the looks, style, money and attitude that Cordelia had would make the name work.

That's actually something that bothered me a little in the John Wick movies, too.

I find all the M:I movies work better as a series of scenes than as actual films, and their villains (with the exception of PSH) are spectacularly weak and unmemorable.
