One of the biggest disappointments in Quantumania is that we don’t see some of the supporting characters from the Ant-Man universe.

The whole of Quantumania, and maybe even the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, could have been avoided if Janet Van Dyne had just told her family the truth: she left an evil warlord named Kang in the Quantum Realm, and letting him out might mean the end of the Multiverse. Surely, Cassie and Hank wouldn’t have been messing…

Only Murders in the Building meets Weekend at Bernie’s?

though that’s not gonna happen since Perlman is too old for the role and Selma Blair has retired from acting due to her health

I don’t know about enormous, but big enough that it’s a cottage industry in the comics. You wouldn’t believe how many spinoffs there have been, and the quality has somehow remained high throughout.

I do wonder what they think “authentic” is gonna mean here, though.

Secret Invasion was announced for this Spring, and Guardians 3 isn’t coming until May. Also, there hasn’t been a Disney+ release since the Guardians Holiday Special, which was back in November. If they wait until after, it’ll be six straight months with no TV content.

Presumably the second seasons of Loki and What If...?. There’s Secret Invasion too, but I expect that before Guardians.

Was that the one where part of it had you driving mechs or something? ’cause it was the same thing there — as soon as I got in them I felt so much more comfortable.

Racing games didn’t bother me. I read somewhere that being inside of a frame (i.e. the car) makes the nausea less of an issue, and that reflected my experience pretty accurately. So Wipeout and Gran Turismo were fine for hours at a time, but 10 minutes of Doom left me feeling exactly as you describe.

I would guess it’s not going to be a direct sequel, in the same way that the games introduce a mostly new cast for each entry, which would make the status of Revelation a moot point.

I blame Spielberg.

I basically ignored the elemental effects, to no great loss. It seemed like regular weapons were always way more powerful, to the extent that it superseded any benefit you might have got from targeting specific weaknesses.

I tried reading the first few at the time they came out, and felt they were basically sub-Roald Dahl/Terry Pratchett stylings attached to a pretty generic story. The cleverest thing was basing them around a school year and (at least for a while) releasing them on an annual schedule, so kids could literally grow up…

I really liked season 4 for trying something different, even if it wasn’t as funny. I never watched the re-edited version.

No, my implication was that it was shouldn’t be done again because it was poorly received every time the TV show did it. While the TV and movie audiences are not identical, it’s not unreasonable to treat the TV audience’s reaction as a guide to how the movie audience will feel about a similar story.

It’s not like Barry fucking things up is a joke that only works in context. The reaction of the show’s audience is a bellweather for how the movie’s audience might be expected to react to similar plot points.

Leave what sitting on the table? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make other than Ayesha being in the film, which... yes, she is. I didn’t claim otherwise, I just don’t think her being in possession of a cocoon in a short post-credits scene necessarily means she must be a major player this time around.

That feels like a minor detail before he returns to daddy, assuming her cocoon is even real and not just a bait-and-switch.

It’s not the redundancy. It’s the stupidity of repeating the thing that everyone’s been laughing at for however many seasons.
