I wish they’d just recon Eternals. Just have the earth egg hatching then have Kamala wake up and say “Wow, what a dumb, poorly paced dream. Oh, well. Late for school!”

Learning to drive in Virginia, they’d take us out three at a time and we’d tag out. First day of driving the kid in my trio who drove first was bragging about how good he was at driving already and crashed into the instructor’s car pulling out of the parking lot, swear to god.

Iman Vellani is a treasure.

I feel like most Western cultures abhor a bargain. Certainly American culture (fully 92% of Western Culture) hinges very particularly on ostentatious displays of spending culture, even while most people can’t afford it.

They did reveal in the show that Scott Lang has a podcast, so I’m assuming he’s gone over a lot of the stuff he was directly involved with on it. Possibly even interviewed other heroes on it.

I thought it was very charming. Most of my lingering questions relate almost exclusively to AvengerCon. Here are some:

I don’t mind speed control devices (bumps, humps, etc.), but they need to be high-contrast so that people can see them. I know the drivers can slow down, but these are basically black-on-black with some non-obvious arrows on them. If you aren’t familiar with the area, you’re not going to notice them. Even if you’re…

This one is probably my favorite. About 20 seconds in - YARD SALE!

Now this is a speed bump.

- You don’t have to do this
- You don’t have to pay to spend 3 hours of your life watching a so-so movie that mostly gets by on your nostalgia for a genuinely great movie from 30 years ago
- The original Jurassic Park is available for purchase/rental on many media formats and streaming platforms

She’s also possibly the first of the superhero characters who actually seems more relatable as a non-hero person; she’s not a multimillionaire orphan, or a test pilot, or some sort of super science genius (or any combination of the above). She likes snack foods and pop culture. And “Embiggen” comes from “The…

Since her parents immigrated, they’d be the ‘first generation’ of immigrants.  If I understand the terminology correctly, being the child of people who immigrated makes you a ‘second generation’ immigrant.  

“But Kamala’s is also a tale about feeling out of place, being a second-generation immigrant, and learning how to become a good human being.”

And she was 22 when all that happened. 22! One of the few actual geniuses in music still with us.

I’m kind of fascinated by the ugliness of opossums. Not so much that they’re ugly—which they obviously are—but why they’re ugly. You can point to the weird snout or beady eyes, but those are features shared by other animals we generally consider cute. It’s something about the lines and proportions that produce such a…

It can be an end credit trailer. Flash runs so fast he literally turns into someone else.

I think that presents challenges, but not insurmountable ones. The Star Wars movies managed to get audiences to care about a rolling trashcan who communicates only in beeps, among lots of other characters buried under makeup, costumes, and prosthetics. The protagonist of The Mandalorian spends virtually the entire…
