I love Tom Holland’s portrayal of Spidey but I HATE the Iron Spider suit. It is just not how I picture Spider Man at all. (And yes, I understand all the in movie reasons for it. Just viscerally do not like it.)

Me Star This

NOT THE BEES!!

Yeah, they shouldn’t be shooting out bolts like a machine gun.

No kidding! I know they made a big deal about the quick reload on the giant crossbows, but they aren’t Gatling guns and the boats can’t turn on a dime.

God, I really hate Euron. Not because he’s so scary, but he’s such a dollar store villain. The sooner he gets Dracarys-ed the better. 

As someone in a similar field with Joanne (event manager/production manager), I did find myself nodding in agreement with her rant at the fundraiser. “You couldn’t pull this off! I have to send so many emails. And none of you read them! And none of you are going to clean up!”

I don’t see why that’s hard to understand. They write toothless political jokes that are lazy. They pull punches and aren’t funny.

I’m going to guess that the reason there was no Barr cold open (or any political satire at all outside of a few Update jokes) was a sop to Sandler’s fan base. I’m betting his mainly white, suburban frat bro fans skew more Republican than the average SNL viewer. The show was going to get a ratings bump this week, so…

I sympathize with her. I’ve written two novels and if I were in a position to require people buy them in bulk, I’d at least think about it. (As long as they left reviews on Amazon or Goodreads.)

You truly couldn’t find two politicians aligned with the same party who are more diametrically opposed to each other than Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders

Shuri? I’d be cool with Iron Panther. 

Yep. The villains and goals of the movies should be appropriate for the hero. Spider-Man was fighting the Vulture last time and trying to stop him from hijacking a plane. He wasn’t fighting Galactus.

I had heard the Fat Thor spoiler, and I honestly thought it was a joke. But it made perfect sense in context of the movie.

Russo is amazing. She was fantastic in Lethal Weapon 3 back in the day and I’m still annoyed she got cut from Batman Forever because she was considered “too old” to date Val Kilmer.

I enjoyed Endgame a lot, although I have issues with a few things. (Mostly Hawkeye and Black Widow related) But all of that went out of my head at the end when Doctor Strange opened all those portals and EVERY MARVEL HERO POURED OUT. The Tuesday evening crowd I saw it with went nuts. I am buying this the minute it…

Right. Something that was literally foreshadowed but you missed isn’t a “god out of the machine” ending. People have no idea what that phrase means or implies.

Vans aren’t airtight. Rats can squeeze into small spaces and they like to chew on things. I’ve had cats climb up into cars from the underside because the engine block was warm. A rat being in a locked van is far from improbable. 

The Splinter staff is not terribly good at irony or self-reflection. 

Seriously, I’m just waiting for someone here to scream “IT’S BERNIE’S TURN!!!!!”
