“We have to actively not choose the garbage”

In principle, I didn’t mind the idea of it being a prequel and therefore taking Elena out of the picture.

Well, yeah, except my point was that in this specific case, for reasons unknown, they apparently didn’t need it dumbed down.

a US remake of Squid Game is now in active development at Netflix

Yeah, there’s no way they could’ve just gone to a clothing store and done the exact same thing...

Scott was definitely the driving force behind Prometheus and Covenant, with the writers almost certainly working to his instruction.

I think she unravels the second anyone doesn’t bend the knee, which doesn’t require there to be another Targaryen in the game — any candidate for the throne with a decent amount of Westerosi support would be enough. Aside from the catharsis of killing some slavers, she’s never presented as a particularly just ruler,…

I think that the last couple books not materialising suggests that Martin introduced those storylines with no clue about what necessary narrative function they would provide, has struggled to come up with anything, and perhaps now feels more pressure to justify their existence as not-red-herrings in order to “prove”…

In what way is it “irrelevant” that the studios walked away from the negotiating table after refusing to negotiate?

You do realize that they struck because the studios refused to negotiate, right?

Nah, everything from the major streaming services is ripped immediately too, including digital rentals/purchases. Across the Spider-Verse will show up on the piracy sites upon its digital release next week even though the physical formats are still a month away.

Also, its just a fucking stupid position “I stand with the union, but I don’t support the strike” makes zero sense.

What they should have done was completely shut down the MCU for a year or two.

Kang’s only shown up in 2 things (Loki and Quantumania) so far and hasn’t felt like that much of a threat in either one

I’m not sure why you think the MCU isn’t seeding future stories in the same way they have been doing for well over a decade.

Given that reads very much like an admittance from Jeff Sneider that he hasn’t got a fucking clue and will repeat any rumour that anyone sticks in front of him as if it’s a fact, I’ll be disappointed (but maybe not surprised) when future instalments of Morning Spoilers continue to report on whatever nonsense he’s been …

WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye all deal with the loss of very important characters too. So does Black Widow, albeit indirectly for the most part. And, yes, Far From Home doesn’t technically explore the multiverse, but it does introduce the concept.

Quite possibly. Anecdotally, tons of people who frequent sites like this seemed to be caught off guard when Spider-Verse didn’t have an ending, so it’s safe to say the wider public were even less aware that it was a part 1. Whereas Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is excellent and has the closest thing to…

That it “kicks off phase 5” just means it’s the first phase 5 show. There has never been a particularly intricate build up to anything in the MCU. They put pieces in place only in the sense that anything left on the board at the end of one project may be picked up in a future project. Little or nothing will have been…

I know that is the official breakdown, but Far From Home is 100% a Phase 4 entry.
