This was a short video that managed to include: whining about staying home during the pandemic, complaining about minor things like “pronouns,” his millions from Netflix, and his constant mentioning of his “greatness.”

I have thick skin when it comes to comedy, but there wasn’t much to like about version of Dave

Incredibles playing at the movie theater: another nod to the Fantastic Four?

Old Dave was more self effacing, paranoid and a little insecure, which was funny and relatable. Now all his comedy is about how dope he is.

He does a lot of social observational stuff. He’s gotten older and wealthier, it’s not all bad, but it’s less relatable. Might have a few yes men in their or people to afraid to correct him or share their actual thoughts because of his power in the comedy world. 

I like the show playing with the existing, relevant horror of the town much better than dipping back into the whole blip nonsense.

In its final moments, WandaVision leaves even more questions unanswered than when the episode began.

A stretch huh? Kind of like someone who can stretch like Mr. Fantastic?

I tried to watch the clip above and had to quit once he started his strawman bitching about everyone staying home (during a pandemic) and whining at him about it, but screw them because he recovered from his bout with COVID. Really? He absolutely changed a while back and the new Dave is just a prick. You still see

I’m glad SOMEONE mentioned this.

Seriously, I don’t begrudge him from using whatever leverage he had to get a better deal but you know, the fans did get played here. 

I’m not loving the new Dave. He seems a little too self righteous, too full of himself, too in love with his own pontifications. Some of all that is a good thing but I think he’s laying in on a bit thick now and it’s cutting into his comedy.

The moment I realised he managed to get her to basically answer the question she ignored from SWORD I realised Pietro’s questions weren’t just him being brotherly and that this is most likely our first indication Strange is involved. It wouldn’t be surprising since she’s doing all this basically on his doorstep.

> It’s also clear that this Pietro is no different from Monica sending that drone. Someone got the same idea to use something that fits the convention to talk to Wanda and find out how this happened.

That’s not what I got from the commercial at all. It seems more like survivor’s guilt on Wanda’s part to me, especially since up until now all of the commercials have related to Wanda’s past and psychological state. I see it more like Wanda got magic where so many others who Hydra experimented on died. They could’t

Looks like the Peters casting is indeed just a gag for the viewers (phew). His character seems to be a version of Pietro that knows what he needs to know and says what he needs to say. That’s why he knows more than he should: he was created (by Wanda accidentally? By something else?) to fill an emotional void.

He is a bit of an all caring hero. Shame he’s dead. sigh

This week’s commercial was even more creepy than usual.The kid dying of hunger and cold on tropical island with food in his hand.

Hayward prioritizing getting Vision back and alluding to making “touch decisions” during the Blip seems to confirm theories that SWORD has using Vision’s corpse for experiments/weapons when Wanda broke in.

I’m still in the “she’s being manipulated camp” for now. She genuinely doesn’t seem to know how all of this started and the opening credits theme song makes it sound like something else is behind it.

Where’s our cut, Dave?
