Didn’t the original series make a big deal out of Roseanne and Dan’s opposition to corporal punishment? This seems like an abrupt shift.

I think that’s why they’ve made a push on Dr. Strange that frankly the character doesn’t deserve based on the first movie (which was fine, but only fine).

“The problem with lampshading the first Doctor’s casual sexism is the fact that the first Doctor was NOT casually sexist.”

Sure he was, I saw it in “Twice Upon a Time”.

That ship sure looks like Scuttlebutt. It’d be awfully cool if Thor found Stormbreaker on it.

Ultron was kind of training ground for Marvel’s “just throw it all in” approach. It was overstuffed, but Civil War was much better, and Guardians 2 and Ragnarok better still.

That’s the deal with cable, though; you buy a whole package, even if you only want 2-3 channels. No one goes into this with their eyes closed.

The DCCU has giant statues to Superman.

One of the big accomplishments of the MCU has been to make Cap compelling *because* he’s just decent.
