Who was he? The lackey for the red priestess?

I like how Euron is basically Donald Trump. References to his opponent's genitalia (as well as his own), promises to undertake a huge building project, make the Iron Islands great again, win a bunch of wars, with some anti-intellectualism and light misogyny thrown in. If only we could drown Trump, though.

Fired for this blunder, etc.

I'm straight, but I don't really like looking at vaginas. Any other part of a woman, sure, I'll look at that. And I know of plenty of other things to do with vaginas other than look at them. Vaginas are function over form, to be sure.

Fired for this blunder, etc.

The really frustrating thing is when the guy who does the audio books can't remember how to pronounce the names. Brienne was a problem, and for the first four books he pronounced Baelish's first name as Puh-TIRE. That whole scene where he's consummating his marriage to Lysa Arryn as Sansa listens on? Puh-TIRE,

My wife experienced a temporary crown delivering our second kid. She screamed and screamed, but eventually he came out. Which reminds me, I could really go for some Taco Bell right now.

Or to avoid offending good taste in general. The Mandarin is a fairly crude caricature of an Asian person, yes? I liked the twist and every part of Kingsley's performance, but I've never been a big Iron Man comics reader. The real problem for me was how forgettable Killian was.

Iron Man 3 came out in 2013.

Why is it that the Iron Man sequels get numbers in their titles, while other MCU sequels get subtitles? Winter Soldier, Dark World, Age of Ultron, and the Wasp, etc.

My favorite super-hero fight is still Hulk vs. Thor from Avengers. When Thor lays Hulk out with Mjolnir? Beautiful.

I remember that every piece of the Iron Man suit could independently fly halfway across the country at what had to be several times the speed of sound.

Seems like she put a lot of effort into helping the poor of King's Landing, was beloved by the people and all that. Too bad the show forgot that.

Well, it didn't really make sense for any of her enemies in Slaver's Bay to do it. They want her gone, and those ships were her way out. If someone in Westeros who didn't want her showing up managed the burning of the fleet, that would make more sense. Or maybe it was done by freed slaves who wanted her to stay.

I'm thinking Dennis Haysbert as Geoffrey Wilder, but he might be getting a bit old for that. I'd say Chiwetel if he wasn't already in Dr. Strange.

As much as I detest Robert Moses, you can't blame everything on him. Something like 50% of the current land area of New York City was once swamp or completely under water. Lot of fill in that city; good thing it doesn't have to deal with earthquakes.

A bunch of their biggest female heroes are X-Men or the Invisible Woman. But they've still got Squirrel Girl on their roster!

I wish Rebecca Hall's character had been the villain; it would have continued the trend of Tony Stark creating all of his antagonists.

To be fair, that was basically a grave-robbing expedition. So, yeah, fuck 'em.

But again, all the ads for the film presented the Mandarin as the villain. And I've already forgotten Aldrich Killian's name twice while reading these comments, and I couldn't tell you the actor who played him.
