He’s really only been asked to “Errg!” and “Arrg!” and generally be (somewhat ironically) Chewbacca to Maeve’s Han Solo. Only without the strength to rip arms out of their sockets. (yet!) He also bleeds all over the place. And groans sweatily. He’s kinda the audience surrogate, but I don’t think Caleb would watch this

Great call back. Yeah, it was both a challenge for her to go ice-pick-cold on Howard’s widow, and a weary admission to herself that she can do this - has to do this one last lie. They could have walked away and been like, “Whatever,” with the lingering suspicions, but Kim realized she needed to nail this shut.

Mike Flanagan and his super hot wife. (...Google...) Kate Siegel! He’s put Carla Gugino and Henry Thomas in most of his stuff too.

Since the thread branched off into old pairings:

The whole Pratt as Indy thing reeks - just reeks to high heaven of his agent pushing this role HARD back when he was hitting with GotG and Jurassic World. It wasn’t just a trial balloon, it was a zeppelin the size of Texas. And just about as subtle. This article here & now has probably been re-engineered as a new

I’ll let go of the Mom-theory. Could be Kim’s mom in b&w flashforward maybe - if Kim and Jimmy are a decade or more older. Sandpiper plaintiff seems the most likely. Another outside guess might be she’s playing Mrs Vacuum Cleaner Salesman. Unless the show can put together some Robert Forster from existing audio or

My guesses are usually 90% wrong, but my first thought is that Carol Burnett is playing Kim’s mom. Continued payoff for that late 80's/shoplifting flashback.

 

Idk, she submitted as a supporting actress in a drama series. Is this list complete?

Apologies. I’ll gnaw on some tinfoil as payment.

I’m admittedly clueless when it comes to contracts and such, but couldn’t BBC1 keep the show going and simply do the very British-thing of producing four episodes a year; or six episodes every two years - give or take a Christmas special now and then?   

Wait, Groot charts higher than Rocket? “I am Groot,” I say to this in the snidest and most obscene way possible. Man, people flipped over that opening/ELO scene in GotG2 ... so much so that you would think the franchise topped out right then.

Daisy and Sousa works with both their issues too: her daddy issues and his (unintended?) break up with Peggy Carter, or more precisely, his kink for women that can beat the shit out of him. Which, tbh, he shares with every MCU fanboy. That they basically admit their issues to each other, makes them one of Marvel’s more

Really what theater chains need to try is this: At the 12 t0 18 or more multiplexes, dedicate one screen to Disney+, one screen to Amazon Prime, one screen to Netflix etc. and have customers come in with a QR code on their phone that proves they are subscribers... show the code, get a ticket, and sit down and watch a

Hawkeye seems a few slots too low. I can see Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova ranking a bit higher than Clint because they’re both so outrageously charming. I mean, they’re hands down the Tony and Cap of the (presumably coming soon) Young Avengers. But still, higher than Hawkeye ... stings a little.

Green and buff aside, you could do a whole psychological riff on just being 18 inches taller.

I tried finishing the list - just in a daydreaming/fill 59 more slots kind of way. The top 15 or so are pretty locked. So the middle is where things are more interesting. I found Drax to be a good, natural benchmark:

I have a sad suspicion the none of the Agents of Shield (other than Coulson) will make the list unless the staff here bends the rules and gives them all a single slot. (All Agents of Shield from the ABC TV show... in a bundle, feels to me like they should rank between 13th and 7th out of 100.) Breaking them up though..

Oh, I totally agree. The suit sounds like a shakedown. They were probably hoping for a quiet settlement for 1/3 of what they were asking.

It might have been scenes of Gorr killing and dismembering all three of them!
