That was his son, Skaar or something, whereas Hulkling has a wildly different backstory and a confusing name they just never got around to shifting to match his actual origin story.

They implied she was even from LA and it was a return for her to the area, so at some point in between things could have been enacted that made it possible for her to not know if she went on some retreat? Only being six-ish years out from modern day is a weird choice.

I do wonder if it’s the material? I really don’t pursue Cena projects but when he turns up in something I planned on watching or checking out anyway he’s often a pleasant surprise. Blockers, Barbie, what Peacemaker stuff I’ve encountered by happenstance… end of list?

I wonder what was the planning behind having a huge set but not actually using it all that much.

Some of the premise from my understanding is platforms like TikTok automatically censoring content if they use certain language, so other parts of the internet drifted that way too. That said I’m fuzzy on if the drifts toward normalizing it is a matter of talking to the presumed/desired audience or if it purely…

I think one very tiny factor is that their broadcast contract forbids them from adding new televised categories but I wonder if they’d be willing to be flexible about it when they’re such visually engaging reels that people watch YouTube videos for, so maybe it could actually add more eyeballs the way the fan favorite…

There were a bunch of weird sentences in this article I had trouble making sense of that I wondered if this was AI generated at first?

I enjoyed the episode enough but the specifics were so muddled towards the end I had trouble figuring out what dangling threads were important overall.

I do feel like a lot of the first two thirds of that show framed things as something Wanda was subjected to, particularly the catchy if misleading “Agatha All Along,” and it did help sort of make her more sympathetic.

I recognize the new guy has sci-fi bona fides and that we haven’t actually seen even any footage of the new Agatha show, but I wonder how much of WandaVision’s successes stem from the head writer/showrunner?

I liked them enough at the time (though I still haven’t brought myself to watch Apocalypse all the way through) but it was distracting in the live action movies so far (Short of New Mutants surprisingly?) how all the mutants of color who aren’t blue* are inevitably evil and/or useless.

Zoe Kravitz’ Angel character was nominally meant to be Afro-Latina right, but they cast her and the character rapidly turned evil?

I assume her point is that it slightly helps remind people there are special raised standards to address guns/animals/why-not-children, and that the cast/crew would be reminded just because they’re all doing more or less the same end product and hours, that they need to act accordingly.

They also had a token nod to the fact that in the comics Emma is the one that Scott psychically “cheats” on Jean with with her little jokey comment to Pryor’s distraction.

They have the same actress playing Death as from the Netflix show. (Was that the plan when this was still nominally an HBO Max show?)

About 11 months ago counting as “just aired” for the third season threw me off a little and made me wonder if I missed more new content  

So comments exist again?

It is so deeply confusing to learn there’s a writer on this show who apparently subconsciously inspired the name of a regular on it. 

On the newspaper that blows by you can see allusions to the Hellfire Gala and a mutant fashion spread that contains a really weird mix of characters (Nature Girl, Dust, Maggot, Banshee, etc) but who knows if that’s a plot detail or they’re just visually engaging.
