Endgame would have been nearly incomprehensible without having seen at least the majority of the preceding MCU movies.

No, he just didn’t want to stick with the clone angle to explain away the whole “your parents are nobody” thing from TLJ, and he ran out of good ideas a long time ago.

Just walked out of the theatre. Thoughts:

Counterpoint - this is also how we ended up with The Hobbit becoming a spectacle of pain involving three movies that span eight hours of screen time.

I dunno. The original SW trilogy was a huge part of my childhood. I’ll see ROS on opening night, because that’s what I’ve done for every SW movie since Episode I. Gotta see it through to the end.

Episodes 7 and 8 certainly both had issues, albeit very different ones. There’s no way episode 9 can fix all of them, and trying to do so will just make them more obvious. The best I can hope for is that it’s a fun ride on its own merits.

America as I knew it suffered a massive head trauma and was effectively brain dead by then of 2000, but was finally taken off life support in 2016.  

There should be a special gray-status exemption for Splinter refugees.  

I just want to see John Goodman (at Flintstones/Roseanne era weight, not at his current “are you ok, John?” stature) play him in the inevitable Trump biopic.

I’m sure they’ll be running Xbox All Access deals on it when it rolls out. Xbox’s biggest selling point right now is GamePass and Gold, and allowing consumers to lump the device purchase in with those services makes it a lot easier to build a base of them in circulation pretty quickly.

As an avid runner who wanted a double-duty GPS tracker/smartwatch, I love my Garmin Vivoactive 3. But...it was only $150.

So, they’re willing to implement an embarrassingly bad interpretation of paid parental leave for federal employees in exchange for funding a new branch of the military that’s almost completely redundant to stuff the Air Force already does?

OTH, there are a lot of folks in broader universe of Doctor Who that really don’t like or trust The Doctor. There was a lot of bad blood around the Time War, and things could get weird again now that Gallifrey has been found.

Unreliable fringe conspiracy theorist spreads unreliable fringe conspiracy theory.  Film at 11.

The blackbirds around the TARDIS and the line “Something is coming for me,” make me wonder if the The Shade from Face The Raven is back this season...

I mean, I totally get the Superman Returns connection and it’s kind of cool and all. But aren’t any of the Arrowverse characters going to be weirded out that Superman is a dead ringer for Ray Palmer?

If this was VR playable with Google cardboard and a recent generation phone, I’d be moderately interested. Since it sounds like this is going to require a substantial additional investment in PC hardware and VR goggles (that I would really only need for Half-Life Alyx)...I’m out.

Yeah, I love Tom Hanks. And who can get enough Fred Rogers?

I see that management making an example out of Splinter is paying off.

If there was ever a “good” venue for an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease...this would be it.
