Not sure any of that is damning. For one thing, I wouldn't believe anything that Brendan Dassey said. Not because he's necessarily a liar, but clearly he can be led to say anything and not be aware of consequences.

How would Bobby Donnell have been able to get Avery off without being allowed to Plan B the ex-boyfriend?

In the DVD supplements are chapters on Cannon's aborted SPIDER-MAN and its CAPTAIN AMERICA, which ended up going straight to video from 21st Century. With superhero movies so timely now, it's a mystery why Hartley took this material out of the film.

He totally fucked that up, Mitchell.

I'm in.

Thank you.

Anyone who reads Edgar Rice Burroughs is a good egg in my book.

I thought Stallone played his revelation in CREED of the third Rocky/Apollo match as a lie. That Rocky really won, but he told Adonis it was Apollo to make the kid feel good. That was my interpretation, but I don't know if Coogler or Stallone have addressed it.

And Rocky fights Hogan! "Hey, why you actin' so crazy out there?"

"Ding ding."—Apollo Creed, ROCKY III

"Gonna bust you up."
"Go for it."

Pretty sure Stallone did that as an intentional callback to ROCKY.

And Paulie is always an asshole. Even in ROCKY BALBOA, he wanders into Rocky's restaurant drunk and causing a scene.

Drago saying, "If he dies, he dies," is what made him a villain. Otherwise, he's kind of a jagoff, but seemingly more innocent and confused than evil.

Yeah, but that was just FAMILY TIES aging. The Balboas returned to the U.S. right after the match. Remember, ROCKY IV begins with Rocky showering after the Drago fight. He starts to twitch, and he asks Adrian to take him home.

ROCKY
ROCKY III
CREED
ROCKY II
ROCKY IV
ROCKY BALBOA
ROCKY V

But to a point I made that you didn't address, how could the Rocky movies have been made in a way you wouldn't find racist? If Rocky fought only white boxers, do you think you would find racist subtext in that?

Hey, why'd you get so crazy on me out there?

Paulie don't sweat you.

Yes
