I can’t even figure out why it needs to be like this - the other two guys who played the Three-Eyed Raven projected calm wisdom rather than inhuman detachment.

Staggering omission...

I agree, she seemed like she might be a weak link in that cast when the show launched, but Tricia Helfer really rose to the occasion on BSG.  I wish she had more opportunities post-BSG.

Keeping all your cast members on board for 10 seasons is a very tall order.

I remember someone here ominously questioning who was in charge of the Mountain - specifically whether it was Cersei or actually Qyburn.

If they were not going to pony up some production cash for a decent goodbye, D&D should have just spliced this into the episode:

If this goes on much longer, Tatum will finally have to make OLD MAN GAMBIT.

This was essentially the scene we got in this episode:

There is no winner in this story.

Watching as a kid, the triple-bladed sword that could shoot its blades like a gun was awesome.

I, too, have fond childhood memories of KRULL. And I, too, eventually watched it as an adult and was infinitely less impressed.

I now assume that they filmed a celebratory scene of Hulk marrying Cap to throw Ruffalo off the scent.

4) If you listen to the post-show feature by D&D they use a lot of language that indicates that *they* made many of the story choices in this episode.

It gave “Taking the Black” a new meaning.

My man, you should rewatch this movie in Africa - you cannot imagine the reaction of a crowded theater when Black Panther walks through that portal.

I agree with all 3 of those.

Fair point about the identity gambit; maybe they figured they could sort it out after a short-ish time?

So is the final showdown with Yon-Rogg this film’s “Marvel Moment”? Or it is just the existence of a female-led movie in the MCU that is the “moment”?

I enjoy superhero movies like this where the stakes are serious, but not necessarily earth-shattering. I find ANT-MAN to be the most charming series inside the MCU and a welcome change of pace from everything else, which is always so ***BIG***. I’d happily recommend ANT-MAN 1-2 to any friends of mine who have zero MCU…
