“They’re promoting different things, and Sam Wilson isn’t particularly relevant to what Marvel needs from the news cycle right now, but the concern is that it implies that there’s some impermanence to Sam Wilson’s Captain America or that he won’t be afforded the same level of attention and respect that Chris Evans’…

They do say Nazis in the movie. They then go on to say that Hydra is a splinter group of Nazis. The SSR is running their own covert(ish, as much as you can be when fighting town sized tanks) against Hydra specifically because of the threat of the Tesseract. It’s WWII happening normally outside of what the SSR is doing.

Ha! I’m not a writer, I’m just a dork who remembers minutiae in this stuff for seemingly no reason.

Captain Carter also almost certainly shows up again this season too. They’ve said T’Challa-Lord is in 4 episodes, the trailers have a shot of Carter meeting with a Doctor Strange. It’s going to lead to some sort of Avengers/Guardians of the Multiverse finale.

“But, unfortunately, there is that aforementioned stumble. Hold on while I get real nerdy with this: In Captain America: The First Avenger, the Tesseract that the Red Skull initially finds in the church is a fake, and the real one is hidden nearby. In this episode, (and maybe this is just me missing it) the sequence…

More than that was Tam becoming a member of the Empire, where she’s just gone for most of the season and then in the last episode(s) she has to learn the lesson that they’re bad and go through that whole arc super quick. Have a strong feeling that the first half of the season was being made on the assumption that they…

It’s kind of a pattern the Star Wars Animation does now. They were good when they were doing the 3-4 episode mini-arcs during Clone Wars, but with Rebels, you can start seeing the change in storytelling becoming a pretty common, but, to me, annoying, way, where the seasonal arcs are relegated to the first 2 or 3…

It “tanked” in that it didn’t make as much as a MCU movie usually does, but only if you ignore the entire Covid situation, where its box office is more or less inline with other releases this year like F9 and Quiet Place 2. But saying it “tanked” is a more scandalous thing to say to draw people in.

Disney has really been getting some galaxy brained execs, who decide that it’s a good business move to, every once and a whiel, piss off the guy who runs the one arm of their movie business that consistently gives them $500m-$1b hits not once a year, but multiple times a year, for a decade.

With the Delta variant now making businesses get even stricter than before and the number of new cases still going up, I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney does an emergency “it’s on Disney+ Premier Access now too!”

And people said nothing good would come from Fox selling to Disney (because that’s what it was, not some sort of hostile takeover. It was Disney or Comcast, pick your poison on that one).

“that explosive cliffhanger was presented like an impossibly game-changing shift to the show’s status quo, only to turn out to be a minor distraction that’s had no bearing on the rest of the plot.”

Seinfeld already got their reunion special out of the way on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was the perfect way to do it, we don’t need a real one.

• Somebody help me out here: Tech says the Empire uses clones, therefore obtaining tactical droid programming is crucial to their totalitarian efforts, not to mention incredibly valuable. But the Separatists, who used droids to wage war, served Palpatine—or, rather, Sidious—during the Clone Wars, right? So wouldn’t the…

Crosshair is 100% being controlled by the chip.”Good soldiers follow orders” is what the clones controlled by the chip say. I think Rex or some other clones said it in the final Clone Wars arc. They’re incapable of not following orders, it’s the purpose of the chip. He may be feeling the loss of his squad, but if…

At the very end when she’s on the call with her mom. Asks if she and Jade “are official yet.” It is indicated nowhere else in the movie, so it’s weird to get hype about it in the same way it was to get angry about Joe Russo playing a gay guy in one scene in Endgame.

Did you even read that headline? They acquired “Fox networks LIKE FX and National Geographic.” They didn’t get the THE Fox network. They legally can’t. The new Fox Corp that Murdoch has still owns the Fox network. Disney was able to acquire the Fox cable channels because there are no FCC rules on that. The Fox…

They can’t own the channel, because they own ABC, and a company can’t own more than one broadcast network channel. They just now own the animation division that has all of their shows on the Fox Channel because they used to be the same company. And ultimately, it’s the network that makes the renew/cancel decision.

Are YOU sure about that bit, buddy? Because Disney owns ABC, and one company can’t own more than one broadcast network channel.

And despite the fact that this news originally broke just two days before Disney announced it was killing off one of its self-produced animated shows
