No, - I don’t think that series had high enough profile to be noticed - but there was Polish government protest against the portrayals in the Polish Wedding movie.

Using pizza as an example is a bit weird when the first season is full of painful national stereotypes too. When the show got criticised for not being able to leave a French stereotype untouched they tried to do better on that front while doubling down on a less powerful nation. Because what is American comedy without…

Yes, hangover is the result of the excessive loss of water and electrolytes so you need to replenish them and sour pickles or sour kraut juice have both.

I don’t know about other people but for me the main problem with Solo is that it fails at being a movie. It tried to put to much in one film - how Han got his name, his ship, met Chewie, Lan, did Kessel Run etc - while at the same time being repetitive - we already knew about all of that (it’s kind of fells into the…

I didn’t expect exact adaptation. That would never work - especially starting with short stories and then switching to books that have very different structure - and then how do you deal with Ciri spending a year with Yennefer after Kaer Morhen on screen?

Theproblem is that these aren’t just adaptation changes. The main story of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri has barely anything in common with the books besides the names of the characters. The short stories wereat least a bit recognisable even if full of bizarre changes that served no purpose. But the main story and even…

I bet you also loved seeing the Kessel Run

My first thought was “I’ve seen that Frank Frazetta illustration”.

It felt like something out of Princess of Mars

There was basically no plot in the current day storyline. We only got just the bare skeleton of a story. The assassins were obviously sent by the Mayor so we could have a cool fight (and gives Ming-Na’s stuntwoman something to do). But otherwise we learnt as much about Boba’s ruling style from the trailers.

There is also the fact that Bobbi is never called Agent 19 in AoS. They can be two different people in MCU.

It’s also always felt a little iffy that Clint has always been fine about people he killed for SHIELD while Natasha was tortured by it so much. They both worked for shadowy government organisations. Simply working for American one doesn’t make killing OK.

Hey, this is MCU - looking like and discount Avenger > looking like a first responder. Especially in NYC.

Thanks. I’m not as disappointed as AVClub’s reviewer but not as happy about it as Germain and Kingpin was the biggest part of that.

Yes, I too was wondering if this is not the blowback from the memory spell but from the Endgame. After all this black goo reality disintegration was an effect of Supreme Strange messing with is timeline too so it would make sense for it to be the reason here.

He has been rich for generations. He can’t even imagine people like himself going to jail for something they did much less for something they didn’t. Of course he believed it’d be resolved quickly. And of course he was released the next day because his cousin bailed him out.

Yes, I wondered if that was a eta reference but it must’ve been a coincidence. With the shooting schedules and production schedules how likely is it that the Hawkeye producers knew who would Arcane team hire to do intro song in time include it in episode 3?

I can understand the Rockefeller Plaza thing as there are clear bad guys being arrested - the ones who shot at the party and attacked an Avenger in the open. And by Avengers standards destroying one tree is a very limited damage. I’m not shocked said Avenger was released with promise to come for questioning when…

Still Burtons were the people who knew Natasha best - at least the non-Black Widow side of her. I can imagine meeting them and hearing those stories could heal some of Yelena’s hurt. But I doubt she is ready yet.

I don’t remember. I know Daisy was called Quake but I don’t remember if they used any call signs for Bobbi.
