I don’t think you’re wrong but I do think that sucks given how much Tony's willingness to risk his life has been part of his character growth (both directly and in terms of his PTSD/guilt). And while it's maybe fair to assume in world that Strange doesn't know this, leaving the implication hanging is... well, it sucks.

>-Cool that Eve found the Ghost anyway, but why just doctors/nurses and not pharmacists, given the talent for tailoring drugs?

TBF, it seems like ever since Norton there’s been a deliberate choice to have Hulk/Banner‘s character development happen offscreen. It's weird but not new.

What makes your insistence hilarious is the emphasis on “locked.” Would you find it more plausible if the rat got in by operating the door handle? You shouldn't.

You’re looking at it backwards, which is a little ironic because Strange was most likely projecting forward through the conditions needed for victory. It's likely the 14M chances examined were overwhelmingly weighted toward those where Tony and Scott were able to meet.

It’s entirely possible that that’s why he doesn’t want to talk about it when he gets back to 2023.

What you’re ultimately saying is that you wish a three hour movie were somehow longer to warrant your skepticism about one character’s underdescribed but clearly plotted growth.

Which, to be clear, is the only part of Stark's memorial we saw. There were a thousand ways to show the world mourning Iron Man and only one group of people to honor Black Widow, yet somehow they didn't just not give her a funeral, they have hers to him.

The tunnel is in the back of the van, the van is in a warehouse full of presumably abandoned gear, and rats can chew through concrete given sufficient time/motivation.

Through the engine, or the floor, or a colony of rats took up in the back of the van before it got towed. Rats in warehouse + food in van = rats in van. #lifefindsaway

I don’t really care about scrutinizing the time travel or plot holes, but the way Black Widow’s death was handled was maybe the movie’s biggest false note—not just because of the lack of ceremony for her, but for the way Tony was mourned.

The difference between Gruden and Mack is that the CBA requires teams to escrow guaranteed payments for players, but not coaches.

None of the following phrases appear in the Laws:

As a Tottenham supporter, what makes this especially delicious is not only getting to experience the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory in the best possible order, but also the cosmic justice of it.

The linesman didn’t think so.

Because even if it clearly struck his arm (it’s at most inferrable from the movement of the ball), it was ball to hand and no advantage gained. I.e. no clear and obvious error.

It’s not. I think the problem is that what triggers VAR is poorly communicated to fans in realtime. The officials aren’t miked by tradition, so it’s just a monitor screen that says VAR Check while the ref puts a finger to his ear and either points or draws a rectangle to indicate review. And commentators are left to…

What John Oliver didn’t mention is that an independent contractor filing for compensation is a bit like a temp filing for unemployment. Even if you win, you risk getting blacklisted by your former employer/any competitor who shares that concern.

You’re not wrong, but if you want to get even more depressing about it, there aren’t really other jobs waiting for those people. The US healthcare system is both a huge scam and also a huge workfare program.

It wasn’t $33M guaranteed or 5 years. The Steelers don't offer unconditional guarantees beyond year 1 of any deal and somehow failed to leak what Brown would get if they cut him after year 1.
