Pretty much the only reason I saw No Way Home and Dr. Strange in theaters. Just to avoid spoilers. The only movies I’d been to in over two years. I did find myself wondering if the same urge would take over for this movie, but I do think I can wait the 45 days for streaming on this, though I do really wanna see it.

The fact that people have devised logistics around how/when they will see this film will never be something I will understand. It’s just another dumb movie that is being helmed by someone you just know puts a lot of effort into being seen as ahead of everyone else but which feels leaded and requires accepting of an…

There is none

I stopped seeing these things in theaters right before Endgame and it was a great decision. Save your time for movies with more meat on them. 

This was how I felt going into Strange 2, as phase 4 is going full multiverse, and surely something huge was gonna happen in a movie with “Multiverse” in its title with implications for future installments. Yet other than one character’s fate, Strange 2 was surprisingly inconsequential to the big picture, and makes me…

That was the way I felt going into Ragnarok, particularly since Marvel had insisted on stopping Age of Ultron cold for, essentially, a very uncompelling Thor 3 teaser. That said, Ragnarok was rather delightful and different, and the Mighty Thor arc that they’re doing in this movie is something I enjoyed in the comics.…

buddy i’m right there with you. i’ll maybe use points to see it for free or something, but the urgency and excitement i used to feel for these things is all but gone. 

Argyle. The loser is always Argyle.

yeah, ragnarok was also breathing life into a franchise that hadn’t really found it’s footing. now this IS its footing, so it remains to be seen how much more of the same vibe i actually like, vs how much i enjoyed the change of pace in and of itself with ragnarok. sometimes making an alternative a default removes the…

I’m genuinely surprised Waititi’s schtick hasn’t worn out its welcome yet.

Since the first trailer, I’ve had fears that Love and Thunder would suffer from Guardians 2's similar over-reliance on jokes, only some of them actually funny. Too much Waititi being Waititi can be a bad thing (and you saw glimpses of it in Ragnarok, but it was far outstripped by how solid the entire film was).

Thank you for remembering that The Runaways existed.

Joyce, Will, Mike and Jonathan are probably the losers this season for me. At least we got the brothers showing their connection again. I had a big problem with Season 3, feeling like Jonathan and Will didn’t even feel like brothers anymore. I almost laughed at Will’s “you’re the heart” speech to Mike. In what world?…

Funny thing is when me and a friend watched this season we said the same thing about Eddie’s plot. We thought he was a dick when he was introduced (he seriously doesn’t give a reason why they can’t postpone a DnD game without excluding their ‘friend’) and then it takes like 6 episodes for him to actually factor back…

Dunno about power rankings but Sadie Sink wins MVP of the entire show this season. 

As long as we agree that the Loser is Will Byers’ barber

I was really impressed with Quinn. He managed to make Eddie seem like a real fleshed out character and a natural part of Hawkins and the gang. Not an easy thing coming into the fourth season of the show. It’s a real credit to him that his death was as impactful as it was. 

These are good choices, but in addition to Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair (as G-Off has already mentioned), Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson managed to deliver one hell of an arc, starting out as the metal stoner who I felt was offputting in his introductory scene (which I presume was deliberate) to the end where he…

I agree with this list, but Caleb McLaughlin deserves some credit. He might not have carried the whole season, but he offered up some of the best acting of the troupe, particularly in the finale.

I wouldn’t be cheering on the “El Saved Max’s Life Parade” right now, she’s restored vital signs to the body, but is Max even in there?
