I sure hope this place is rent-controlled.

Make those shade structures trellises with plants to address both issues.

It’s crazy how so much of Southern California is cosplaying Butcher with their aloha shirts.

They’re a metaphor for gentrification, like Vampires vs. the Bronx.

Can you get an abortion?

Yeah, I was pleased with making Peter more of a classic Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (and would love it if that was the name of the next movie), but it does disconnect him from the larger MCU in a way that maximizes portability.

I mean, it is pretty clear we are going somewhere though. It just doesn’t look like it is all in one direction like the Infinity Saga.

Also, not to get lost in the metaphor, but how does it feel like homework if it also feels unnecessary?

You literally invented an issue (Taika Waititi supports an anti-LGBT cut of a film he helped create) to be mad about.

Don’t make strawman arguments if you get upset when people say you’re using a strawman argument.

I just finished that this weekend! It was great!

Yeah, like that, intercut with Lucas and then Max battling their way through the Upside Down, which is fleshed out even more than it was this season.

If Taika apologizes for killing your cat, or wtf ever it was, could you not with crazy ass strawmen like “oh yeah, but you’re a homophobe because in my imaginary scenario, you’re going to defend a Chinese version of a film that takes out scenes with LGBT content!”

I liked Endgame and almost everything up to that point (not you, Dark World).

What’s come since, especially Eternals, doesn’t not feel like it was particularly vetted nor necessary.

They can either make the stuff more urgent or they can make it better. It doesn’t seem like an unreasonable request.

Almost every bit of art is collaborative other than maybe paintings and those collaborators — editors, producers, assistants — are all a valuable part of the process.

“I don’t understand why you included this” or “this doesn’t work great for me” are valuable and help a creator step back and realize that they never…

“I think most of the stuff that gets cut should stay cut” doesn’t seem like a controversial opinion even if Night Breed (?!) was improved in the director’s cut.

In fact, outside of Blade Runner, the general public is unaware of those director’s cuts you listed because the original movies are great and the director’s…

Vecna is going to wear Max like a suit at the end of the first act break in season five and be undercover in Hawkins after the heroes get their first victory of the season. They’ll figure out what he’s up to and the second act ends with him being openly exposed.

Lucas takes an extended journey through the Upside Down…

We’re six movies and seven television series in. It’s fair for people to start to wonder if this is going anywhere bigger or, if not, if they can start noping out of some of these installments, which feel more like homework than anything else.

Wait, you don’t think fried cheese on a stick and sugary lemonade is a good workout meal?

What was insufferable about what’s in this story?

Wait, is this Zack Snyder?

Waititi is not as much of an artist, so he’s never really had to tread outside of this middle-ground comfort zone he’s found himself in.
