. . . the scenes where she’s licking herself and making cat puns in a big stretched-out drawl, is it REALLY that different from Uma Thurman doing Poison Ivy?

Maybe you are taking the whole “post-credit/mid-credit scene” concept a little bit too seriously?

You can do anything, satire, farce, etc., if you do it well. Nobody wants to see a full length Rogers: The Musical, but I loved seeing the whole “I Can Do This All Day” number because they did put so much work into every silly detail. It was great to see it for what it was.

I assume you mean Cats, the movie, which is terrible and ill conceived. Though a lot of people don’t like Cats, the stage musical, it was widely acclaimed way back in the 1980s when it opened. Lots of people still love it now, but it is one of those things that can turn out well or terribly depending on execution.

As many have pointed out, it takes just about as much work to make a bad movie as it does to make a good one. Same goes for a Broadway musical, but I loved “I Can Do This All Day”. It’s not that I want to see a musical version of Avengers, but the number was a clever little satire all its own on how “real-life” events…

I mean, in fairness to Garfield, he was put in a terrible position having to promote Tick, Tick... Boom! while all anyone wanted to ask him about was Spider-Man. It’s not that his denials spoiled the movie, it was that interviewers insisted on asking him questions that they knew he was contractually prohibited from…

I always found it curious that amid the loud complaints of violence against women, nobody thought it was significant that the show had three regular male characters who had been either castrated or fully emasculated including one who experienced it during an unwanted sexual encounter while being held captive. It hurts…

Daredevil and Jessica Jones both have 3 seasons at 39 episodes each, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher all had 2 seasons plus there was one 8-episode Defenders series (IMDB). The entire Marvel/Netflix project lasted from 2015 to early 2019, and all of the shows were in production in New York on a revolving basis…

Any kind of movie can transcend its genre. Do I think Black Panther did? Yes. Did Spider-Man: No Way Home? No. It’s incredibly entertaining, and I enjoyed it enormously, but it is very much confined by the conventions of superhero movies, even if it is dazzlingly executed.

Some people don’t know the difference between delve and dive (which would be appropriate). Or horde and hoard, or. . . oh, I could go on forever with this.

I liked all of Matt Smith’s seasons. I found Peter Capaldi’s earlier seasons less compelling (except for Michelle Gomez who is always a delight) but I liked the Bill Potts season. I want to like Jodie Whittaker’s seasons more than I do. Streamlining the companion roster is an improvement, but I am actually looking…

Look, I’m no Marvel expert. I didn’t even know that there was one single-eyed tentacled monster let alone two of them in the Marvel world. Who knows? I am guessing that it’s a minor adversary to create a big set piece early on in the movie before it really gets into the meat of the story, but what do I know?

It was Marc Shaiman who co-wrote the song with Scott Wittman. They also wrote Hairspray, the Musical. 

It sounds like Rhys Thomas did not have a specific end-credits scene in mind, and was expecting Marvel Studios to have something to tee up the next series as they often do with the feature films. It doesn’t really seem, however, that Hawkeye naturally leads on to another series, except for Echo which is too far off to…

I don’t see the need to have something ever-more momentous for these Doctor Who anniversary shows. If The Day Of The Doctor was “fun but ultimately anticlimactic”, then why do we need more than that? Fun is the first think I am looking for in a Doctor Who episode. The show is almost always better when it focuses on…

The one-eyed monster in the trailer has been identified by official toys as Gargantos, not Shuma-Gorath.

They clearly did it so the the MCU could get its own little glob of Symbiote to do with it whatever they please.

though Kingpin doesn’t exactly have superpowers, he’s super powerful and throws her around like a rag doll.

It just means that there’s some precedent if they decide to use that explanation of how Kingpin inevitably has to survive that gunshot.

I think they intentionally leave these things vague over at Marvel. I don’t think they want to say flat out that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is out of continuity since, besides being created around MCU character Agent Coulson it included guest appearances from bona fide MCU characters like Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Lady Sif,…
