This is why I couldn’t work in PR.

I agree with the idea of a much shorter campaign season. People have already made up their minds by now. Dragging out the whole process is just a waste of money and time. If people are open to changing their minds, then it should take just one or two strong messages to get the point across. If you can’t sway voters to…

I want to emphasize how these college football programs are even designed to get young athletes to the pros. Yes, almost all pro players did come from big university football programs, but the vast majority of players in those programs do not go on to play professionally. Less than 1% of the top college football…

I really have to wonder how this guy plans to survive in Italy. Whether he was making a living as a teacher at the school or as a parish priest, he wouldn’t have been making much money. He’s also only 30, so would have only been working for maybe six or seven years. How is he able to afford the cost of living in…

It does seem silly to drag Bullock into something based on what another person did just because she played a version of that person in a movie. I am sure there are plenty of movies based on or “inspired” by real people who paint the person in a heroic light and then we find out later that person was a jerk. One…

I was thinking along the same lines. Basically they walked by and saw the cards piled on a pallet, a pallet jack right next to them, and perhaps their own truck was very close by, so they just grabbed and ran. My understanding is these were not any sort of super rare cards, just large packs that were mostly meant to…

I get it. Some people prefer their meals with a bit more body.

Or at least to sell ghost meat!

Agreed to all of this. Plus it would mean Ravva/Rhodey was actually fighting using the War Machine Armor. I mean I guess I could buy that the Skrull Skull Sucker tech would give her access to whatever security codes were necessary to activate the armor and Skrull copying powers are good enough to copy biometrics like…

Gravik: What? An alien took the form of Nick Fury to deceive me!? I am shocked! Who knew such an alien species who can perfectly copy anyone else exists!

Oh, I agree with you there! I am fine with the president character doing something stupid, especially since Nick explicitly calls him out on that. I am more annoyed how this plot development leads to basically a major cliffhanger, that logically could have major impact on the MCU going forward. Along with the global…

The big issue for me (among several big issues) is how the series ends with an obvious attempt to set up season 2, when of course there will almost certainly not be a season two.

I am reminded of one Christmas when I was a kid. I was opening a present and got super excited to see what was apparently a set of TMNT action figures. But it turned out to be a case for STORING the figures, not any of the figures themselves. Same energy!

That is a lot of money! I have to wonder where it is all going. There have been a few pretty good action set pieces compared to other TV shows, but it doesn’t look like a $200 million budget!

Like most of these MCU D+ series, it is frustrating to me how the narrative sets up some very wide scale and ambitious pieces, but ultimately has to be limited both in terms of budget and the needs of the larger MCU continuity. There is a LOT going on in this series with Earth shattering implications, but we know…

So on the one hand, the convoy battle was pretty impressive for a TV show that has to be shot on a budget. On the other, it was not as impressive as the films would have been, which is an unfair comparison, but those comparisons will come up since these D+ shows are trying to connect directly to the movies.

Meh, the only Wheel of Time prequel I would be vaguely interested in would be a mini series set during the end of the Age of Legends, immediately before and during the War of Power. I would want to see a totally fantastical society run by magic-fuelled technology, a high-tech magical civilization, something rarely seen…

My kids really want a Dogman animated film or series. Surprised someone at Netflix or elsewhere isn’t already working on that. There is already a Captain Underpants series.

I remember the first episode had a cameo from Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury himself, and obviously Phil was a character directly from the MCU. And didn’t Sif show up for a while? So anyway, yeah obviously AoS was very intentional about its connection to the MCU, even if that relationship was never reciprocal. One detail I…

That is an interesting idea, at least for characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye who intentionally have attempted to keep a low public profile. But yeah, I could see people being confused about Captain America like, “oh, there is some weird guy running around cosplaying as this WWII propaganda figure. It is unclear…
