... so a $1,300 premium for an HDMI port and “better” 5G?

yup, same one. i guess you could use the kata the same way Daniel-san does. like say you made a faux pas in an office meeting, you can just bust out the kata at that moment, then make your way towards the door as the conference room is left in a stupor.

i think it’s just a response to Godzilla 2014. Bryan Cranston’s character was really interesting, but they drop that thread early on. then the rest of the movie keeps cutting to less interesting characters every time Godzilla shows up (until the very end). that definitely left a “i don’t care about the people, show…

the MCU also has their respective Watsons. 

i couldn’t stand Daniel in Part 3, and just felt bad for Mr. Miyagi.

nah it was all predicated on Daniel doing the kata which threw Barnes into a confused daze. the kata is built up through the whole movie.

first time i say “ponytail” in S3, i thought “wait, soldiers aren’t allowed to have long hair. oh, is it supposed to be Terry Silver?”

i hope the Bernie meme stick around for another 4 - 8 weeks though:

but Dr. Strange has a personality. he’s a music nerd! /s

maybe there will be a scene where Dr. Strange makes a portal for Tobey to hop over to the MCU, but he’s like “well contractually, you can come over here, but I can’t go over there”

i think Endgame pulling off time travel and multiple Thanoses, Nebulas, and Gammoras without audience backlash gave them the confidence to go full steam with the multiverse. 

my favorite meta quote from the MCU: “In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, the number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurate rate.” - Vision

there was probably pressure from both Marvel and DC to do the live action multiverse first (because whoever comes in second will look like an imitation). i remember hearing news about Flash and Dr Strange 2/Spidey 3 all come up around the same time. then Marvel put pedal to the metal and started on these movies, and…

RLM described AOU perfectly. it was along the lines of “imagine you’re trying to read an interesting article online, but you keep running into all these popups and ads for Infinity Stones, and you’re just like, okay, but i want to go back to the main story”.

exactly the general audience is much more comic book/sci-fi savvy than they were 10 years ago. things have changed. i feel like many people are still thinking that we’re in 2005.

when Chris Rock played Chris Tucker?

considering his next movies are:

obviously the most humane and natural solution would be to import some hippo-eating gorillas to the area, then wait for the gorillas to freeze to death in the winter.

how many people have to die while capturing these hippos before this becomes the less-humane solution? hunting hippos is extremely dangerous. on average, they kill twice as many humans as lions. 

i remember i once went on a school trip and only packed a gameboy camera (it’s two in one!). that was dumb.
