“If you need someone’s full attention, sending them a text is a less intrusive way of letting them know.”

I think this is definitely generational. A friend calling me would mean they want to catch up. It’s a nice thing. Or maybe they want to talk about something important to them. If I can’t speak to them right now...

Yeah, this article made me feel ancient!

Can somone sue the people who started and ran QAnon?

wet fart resolution” made me laugh!

The Avengers barely gave Natasha a proper sendoff, and she was a closer friend and ran the group for the five years during the gap. They only mourn for Tony!

If Wanda is being manipulated by somone, and that’s a big if, I wonder if it’s going to be revealed here or saved for the next Doctor Strange movie? Long shot guesses: if it’s revealed that someone pushed her over the edge on Wandavision I’d go with the Von Strucker’s kids, Fenris (maybe mad that their dad gave Wanda

Great list! I just wanted to add “Sylvie’s Love” with Tessa Thompson. It’s an old fashioned romantic movie and just super entertaining. Streaming on Amazon.

I actually do have great love for the classic sitcoms but those actually had well written jokes (which have become dated of course, but ones like “The Dick Van Dyke Show” were the smartest and funniest of their time and hold up well.) “Wandavision” was capturing the look but not bothering to make the jokes funny. So

I disagree but enjoyed the thoughtful post!

There was a connection in the Avenger’s Children’s Crusade series. They almost got married! But I still don’t think this is how they’d introduce Doom. That’s a Comic Con Hall H announcement someday.

Rambo sounds so silly to me. Otherwise nice to see the character in the MCU!

Right? Tony Stark should be one of the most hated people who ever lived. Yes he helped save the universe but only if he could ensure incredible pain and trauma to trillions and trillions of sentient beings (watching half of all living creatures die in front of you would cause massive PTSD, depression, likely

It does say more layers are better but that’s still not much of an answer to the pretty direct question posed in the headline. (I like Beth’s work generally, but this was not her finest.)

Yeah, I kind of feel the first two episodes could’ve been one episode and this could’ve been the second. Three episodes for plot to start kicking in is a long wait (clearly that’s not the case for everyone, but for me the pastiches are well produced but unfunny sketches, ones that for me aren’t saying much so far

Wish you hadn’t given away the name of Teyonah Parris’s character. Sure one can find it on IMDB, but one also has to be looking for it. Bummer.

Ha. It’s true!

Trump has also gotten thousands of Americans killed, possibly hundreds of thousands, with his completely disastrous response to the pandemic.

Centrist scum that raised hundreds of thousands for Stacey Abrams’ efforts, even more for Democratic candidates, and mobilized thousands into volunteering to register Democratic voters and get out the vote. How awful!

Slate’s “Trumpcast” podcast was usually really informative. It started in March 0f 2016 when the idea of Trump winning still seemed insane. The episode after the 2016 election when the despair started to set in, and when original host Jacob Weisberg realized the show wouldn’t end that week and he would have to keep

The episode with Kamala Harris in front of a live audience in 2017 where she called Trump a motherfucker is a good one.
