I agree with virtually all of this, and the trend of so many characters in ethically questionable relationships is a great observation. It wouldn’t even be bad that the writers do this, if it was an intentional theme of the series, but it doesn’t seem to be. There has been no point or greater message to why we keep…

Exactly. These are the type cracks we might get on a late night opening monologue, or might be written for a roast or correspondence dinner. No one is attacking Ortega or seriously demanding she be there. These are jokes. Just jokes.
I don’t think it’s mean spirited. These are admittedly funny, and it’s obvious they are being tongue-in-cheek. AV Club is doing that thing they do again. This bait. Don’t fall for it
Aquaman 2, Ghostbusters After Afterlife, Wonka, and Bad Boys 4.... So nothing of concern, so far. Though it sure seems like Marvel’s Blade can’t catch a break, heh.
“an outside law firm to conduct an investigation into Mr. Carlson’s conduct.”
Comic Con hype is infamous for being it’s own bubble, though.
Peter’s “Iron Spider” costume predates the films, and was indeed gifted to him by Tony. But while No Way Home did adopt the appendages, for whatever reason, they didn’t do the color scheme, so the movie version is never as cool as its supposed to look:
Iron Man’s still Top 3 for me, even. It’s ability to work as a true stand alone goes a long way in my eyes. But I think even if Tony Stark was still around, current Marvel would tarnish him. They still have a bunch a heroes from the very same era that are a far cry from who they’d been established as. It doesn’t seem…
He’s the one Avenger who’s been tangentially related to movies outside his own, so Doctor Strange, I think. Although maybe I should be saying Wong?
The Tom with Shiv is so different from the Tom with Greg; At this point, I don’t know which is the real him.
Kendall’s got the leadership persona, but his problem is always that he’s scatter-brained and cringe. What a cringe presentation! But so help me, I wanted the win for him. I want Tom and Shiv to work it out. Even Roman, my most hated, drew sympathy from me because I don’t want to see him falling apart. I don’t know if…
when people see Mega Girls, they’re going to think whoever made this made CODA. It’s an astute parody of the indie-to-Marvel pipeline that swallowed Chloe Zhao whole
Critics seem to be wondering why this is bad when Pete’s Dragon was good. As someone who disliked that remake, I can only shrug. Put these films side by side, and they have the same problems because they are doing the same things: Stripping something colorful and fun down to be more moody and drab. This movie being…
Apparently, this idea is a Peter Pan tradition, but for whatever reason, it was new to me when Isaacs did it, and it blew my friggin mind.
Is “From the Studio That Brought You...” a card Disney still needs to play?
But he’s gotta agree the videogame handled them pretty well, right?

Catch me on the right day, and I prefer Superman IV to Superman III. Quest for Peace may have been the cheapest piece of crap ever, but it was still nice to see the cast return, and the nuclear war message is a noble one. 3 going the comedy route is just abysmal.
100%. When I did my Bond marathon, I was dreading watching Octopussy for the first time because of its reputation, but to my surprise, I thought it was pretty solid. The clown scene is blown way out of proportion. Of the Roger Moore era, I think it’s his 3rd or 4th best.
