How many times have we watched Tony Stark die ignominiously now?

Yeah, I don’t want to rag on Sam too much, but these reviews read like someone else watched the episode and described it to him.

Uh ... the scene of her waking up in the hotel room starts with a shot of Thor asleep on the couch. Then there’s a whole joke when she’s at the door talking to Maria and she claims she doesn’t know where he is, and he starts blathering on in the background about a rabbit in the sink.

I know the animators have been a bit free with their interpretation of the characters, but Thor looked so unlike Chris Hemsworth he was almost unrecognisable.

Is it terrible that I’ve laughed both times he’s died on-screen? I don’t hate Iron Man or anything, but they’re making him look hilariously un-heroic in this series.

Yeah I’m surprised it’s remembered so fondly, when I saw it in the cinema I thought it was fine, nothing special. The ‘empowerment’ in it struck me as very shallow. But maybe it’s worth a rewatch, it sounds like it’s aged better than some of the other films of the late 90s.

Eh, there are accents in the Midlands, northern England and Scotland that are still pretty close to how (we think) Shakespeare spoke, far closer than the standard American accent. There are just a few artefacts in the American accent that have disappeared from RP (if they were ever there to begin with - remember he

Yeah, the whole zombies survival schtick seems especially tiresome in the era of covid. Dehumanising the infected, gleeful murdering, and surviving by giving up all morality are kind of the opposite of what we need at the moment.

Yeah it always makes me laugh that a country with bears, cougars, mountain lions, wolverines, coyotes, moose, rattlesnakes and king cobras is scared of the mostly shy animals we have in Australia.

So there’s an evil Dr Strange chilling somewhere in a little dead fragment universe? Guessing that’s going to come up at some point.

Oh come now. There are plenty of irresponsible man-child fuckups in the MCU. It’s a crowded field.

Just keeling over and dying in a diner too, not heroic or anything. I loved it.

He’s only crown prince of Asgard. At the rate Asgardians age, he’s got a few thousand years before he gets to rule. May as well fuck around and rule Earth in the meantime.

Josh Keaton sounded more like Chris Evans than Chris Evans does.

From the little bit of dialogue between Mobius and B-15, I got the impression that the TVA was still all about pruning timelines, but for different reasons. Maybe their new job is to keep multiple timelines tidy for Kang the Conqueror, or cut off certain branches but allow others to flourish.

It definitely seemed like

I’m down for anything that gets Peggy Carter back in the MCU.

Maybe he’s taking on a really pathetic variant of Kang? They can’t all be great right? .... Right?

Oh god I hate that there’s a typo in this and I can’t go back and edit it. Curse you Kinja!

Alas poor Yorick, he hath not read Hamlet, nor Macbeth, I see, plays of infinite exposition, of most excellent info dumping, with minor set dressing in the form of characterisation.

Mmm, good point.
