Honestly? I would have expected Marvel and Sony to come up with a timeframe where Avengers: Endgame either came out before Sony effectively revealed the surprise, no matter how obvious, or I would have presented it in a way where it was known it this movie happens chronologically prior to the events in the last…

*sigh*

I mean, Marvel is in a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t situation anyway. [snip] I kinda respect them for picking the option that doesn’t risk insulting theiraudience’s intelligence. And if they’re ever questioned about it, Kevin Feige can always trot out the ol’ platitude of “it’s not what happens that matters,…

Shrug. Not sure what else they could have done

(I’m not reading too much into Nick being there, as that could simply be Mysterio in disguise.)

Well, yes, especially given your very next sentence.

Sony don’t owe Disney anything. They’ve held off pretty long as it is.

I agree with you, however it seems like Disney/Marvel and Sony could have come to some agreement. Spider-Man is going to make a boatload of money, that is essentially a given at this point. We knew it was going to come out this year, so that was not really a surprise to most of us. However they could have played it…

Good points. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man already covered a lot of those fairly well (aside from Gwen Stacy) and the fact we got the original Spider-Man origin story rehashed (poorly, I might add) with Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man.

All those liberties are…

Obligatory Avengers spoiler alert...

Was it too much to ask for them to wait until after Avengers: Endgame for them to confirm that all the deaths in the last one were meaningless and going to be reset? Obviously we all know that has to happen since they weren’t going to just kill off half of the active superheroes in…

And that’s just to build the thing. That’s nothing on the ongoing maintenance of it, nor the environmental impact, eminent domain concerns, and the fact that many have pointed out it’s unlikely to actually solve the problems of illegal immigration or illegal drugs.

There is no evidence of the stash house guards being bad people. [snip] Chris deserved to die far more than some random guy looking after some stolen jet skis.

Sigh. A dictionary definition?

Two thoughts to that.

First, let’s look at what has historically been called an assassin.

assassin as·​sas·​sin | \ə-ˈsa-sᵊn noun

Those people were not dealing with someone with a primary goal of killing them.

It won’t work.

I haven’t seen season one of Runaways, but I had a couple questions.

First, is it worth watching?

Second...How in the hell does it get a pre-air grade of A for the season when literally every episodic grade is a B or C? Am I missing something here?

I mean...it’s pretty obvious.

I mean...it’s pretty obvious.

there’s no reason why Faye couldn’t be black and from Singapore in the future, but there’s also no reason to overwrite an explicitly Asian character. Thus ScarJo is perfect for the role.
