What the hell was all that talk about Aisha being the great family shame?

Yup. The vibe it seems we’re supposed to get is that Khonshu has a history of crying wolf, i.e. he tells Marc that their case against Harrow has to be indisputable. Harrow comes through the portal without the cane, and you can guess that maybe he left the scarab with the cane, and that maybe even Ammit temporarily…

The funny thing about Ritchson is that he’s ~38, so he’s not that young, but modern actors don’t age like presumably boomer veterans did.

Does David Harbour look like he could stop a bullet with his pecs? Jack Reacher did—which is why there’s no realistic way to depict him, which is why I think at least the first movie was fine.

Well, what’s weird is that she may be one of the only people they don’t try to make Ritchson look big against. Multiple times when Roscoe and Reacher are shown close, she’s basically as tall as his chin. He’s not crazily huge compared to her.

It’s clear that Shauna feels like she killed Jackie, but there’s a pretty straight narrative line from the first time Shauna confronted her about her not doing her part to declining the grubs and trippy stew and pitching Doomcoming in terms of their being likely to be dead in a few weeks. Teenage stubbornness is…

If we could go back to 20 episode seasons so story tellers could take their time we wouldn’t feel so ripped off.

He just died that day.

She’s trying to build the fire with a lighter of all things

That’s certainly the suggested explanation if that scene was meant to be realistic, but it’s so surreal that it’s hard to know what to make of it. What sort of house in the world has a large room like that in the basement hidden entirely behind a flue grate?

Hot take: they should’ve made it without the Wachowskis.

Of course The Matrix was going to have a poor weekend, regardless of what name was on the director’s credit.

the idea of someone telling their kids “I don’t love you, I never wanted to be a parent, I’m leaving you with your other parent and you’ll never see me again,” is the single most heartbreaking thing I can think of from the kid’s POV.

Recasting Smith was going to be a hard sell no matter who they got. My issue with him is that he just kinda...didn’t need to be in the movie? He could have been cut and it wouldn’t have changed anything.

Yup. Whatever you think about the logic of the movie (and generally speaking, I liked it!), it 100% shows its work.

Yeah. I mean, I’ve never been a comics guy so I don’t know much about Fisk, but on the one hand you have Daredevil and the other, you have Into the Spider-verse, in which he kills Spider-man with a single punch!

There wasn’t a lot of subtlety in Eleanor’s speech about consequences right before she was arrested.

I a little bit wonder if they initially only planned the bit for the scene in that first episode and then decided to flesh it out for a post-credits things without rewriting/reshooting what they’d already done.

I think in their logic if Clint had known that Natasha had found Yelena and that they had liberated the Red Room, he would have sought out Yelena to tell her what happened with Natasha. Which is a reasonable point of view.

Liking Kate’s all well and fine, but Yelena is explicitly trying to kill somebody Kate cares about, and by the time she’s getting off the elevator, that plan already involves rapelling down the side of the building. How sure is she supposed to be that Kate’s just going to let that happen?
