Bad Batch is a good remedy to that feeling, hardly any Force stuff going on at all in that series.

Quinto: (angrily) Do you know who I am??

Ugh, pon farr can be a nightmare... Or maybe he swapped bodies, like in Spock Amok.

I’m of two minds about it. Yes, I get that in Muppet tradition the Muppets are “real” and they don’t like to show the puppeteers. On the other hand, why should the puppeteers be erased? I mean in animation, nobody tries to hide that the characters are voiced by voice actors or pretends that the characters are real, so…

I’ve seen people saying “They did the end-credits thing to introduce the symbiote in the MCU”... but why couldn’t they just have written it into the MCU.... why was this required...? I think it was just to beef up the box office for Venom 2 threw word of mouth. Cheap.

Based on the film’s subtitle, The Last Dance, Ejiofor is clearly playing a multiverse Michael Jordan and the venom symbiote is how he becomes the greatest basketball player ever. Except this universe, he plays his entire career for...The Washington Wizards.

But without the animal cruelty involved in that, would the myth of lemmings committing mindless suicide have entered the mainstream? And without that happening, would the video game Lemmings exist?

“We often hear of documentaries that are repudiated by their subjects. Here at Disney we have a policy that ensures this doesn’t happen.”

I mean, yeah, “brand experience”, sure, but their lane has always been high-fructose corn syrup children’s entertainment aimed squarely at WASP middle America.

This movie needs to end with Venom, Kraven, Madame Web, Vulture and Morbius all standing together with dramatic music like they are the Superfriends! What! One can only hope for something that stupid!

Right. I mean, best not to get too worked up about this kind of thing. And certainly not worth limiting casting choices.

Matt Smith, Adam Scott, Michelle Williams, Woody Harrelson, Jenny Slate and Sydney Sweeney have all been in Sony movies. Any of them would be great in the MCU

Yeah, I see that I just plain misread that sentence!  (My eyes thought it went “...so it just feels weird that he’s plowing his aunt.”)  100% never mind!

Some of the standouts include Sterling’s steadfast lackey Andy Roeser (Billions’ Kelly AuCoin),

Many countries other than the US actually forbid parents from giving children weird names under the argument that it is literally a form of psychological abuse.

Burr was making fun of people who pretended to be surprised that a guy born 12 years before Black people were allowed to play in Major League Baseball had sone ugly ideas about race. 

I’m glad to see they finally clarified: 2 more seasons. Phew!

Because if you teach a bunch of 101 writers you need to break the rules, all you get are a bunch of incomprehensible “rule-breaking” screenplays. Film schools are already full of 18-year olds who come in thinking that their story with unmotivated characters and aimless plot will be an earth-shattering revelation to…

I look forward to the retraction and mid-season cancellation or whatever they come up with.

Or the MCU Blade movie is a period piece (maybe in the 60's/70's?) and he’s playing the older, modern day version of the vampire hunter.
