I really like that description.

Sure, technically the trailer for L&T spoiled Natalie Portman as Thor, but it wasn’t a secret - it was extremely well-publicized after they announced it at Comic-Con three years before the movie came out. Her appearance is part of the premise and really even the title.

“This is the best movie I’ve ever seen” - me at 11 years old in 1999

I don’t know about that - I’m not going to argue that trailers these days don’t reveal too much, but I don’t remember any of the trailers for L&T, nor do I think that not having them would have made the movie itself (which had plenty of problems independent of the trailers) any better.

“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself,” Hemsworth recently told Vanity Fair of his performance in the film. “I didn’t stick the landing.”

Oh, I get not teaching every dark detail to little kids, but it’s not like they taught it in any significant way later either.

It felt more consistent with the 90s version of Cap than the MCU version, but I don’t think there was anything up with it.

William Hurt died two years ago, that’s why Harrison Ford is playing the character starting in the Captain America 4 movie.

I’m in my 30s and I certainly wasn’t taught about this in school. It’s a horrible chapter of our country’s history that a lot of people would rather be left unconfronted and with most people who experienced it having already died, that’s only going to be easier. Obviously accounts of it exist in history books and…

The myth here is that since earbuds go inside your ear canal and headphones rest outside, headphones are safer for your ears than earbuds.

I admit that I hadn’t heard of Vecna until Stranger Things, but I feel like, as with the Demogorgons and the Mind Flayer in previous seasons, most people who know enough to know that the names are taken from D&D (which has been stated for each one in the show) know that the name is really the only connection between…

Will be sad to say goodbye to the `Ritos gang, but I’m ultimately ok with it. And plus, given that the reception here has been almost entirely positive (and costs of animated series is a fraction of the live action ones), maybe this opens the door to more animated Trek. And yes, I know about Prodigy and its issues,…

Oh yeah, you’re right. I had forgotten the specifics of that episode.

That makes sense - Sony owns part of Spider-Man cinematically and would need to have some control in bringing cinematic Spider-Man to tv, even if Marvel has control of tv Spider-Man.

Oh, I didn’t know that, I’ve only seen the X-Men series (and I only watched it to watch 97) and not the Spider-Man series, I know they’re in the same reality but I didn’t know they re-froze Cap.

I think they made X-Men 97 for two reasons: one was to promote the X-Men characters and stories for the upcoming live action movies and the other was to get more people watching their shows (especially their animated shows) by capitalizing on 90s nostalgia. A revival of the old Spider-Man series (Spider-Man 99?) would…

Thanks, that makes sense. I knew Sony still had something there because of the Spider-Verse movies, but I wasn’t sure if it extended to all animation because it’s felt like Spider-Man has been conspicuously absent in the What-If series.

I imagine it’ll build off of the Wolverine episode, but acknowledging that Cap is around in modern times as well. It’s a concept most modern-day Marvel fans will be familiar with at minimum because of the movies, so it’s convenient that Earth-92131 fits in it as well. They could acknowledge Spidey or the other…

That’s definitely a shame. Like you said, it wasn’t as fun as the original, but I really enjoyed it and I appreciated the fresh perspective it gave and a lot of the content of the new leaps.

I haven’t seen Ozark, but I liked her when she was a little younger in The Americans. And Inventing Anna was an odd project, but she was solid in it, off-the-walls (but accurate) accent included.
