That’s a bit garbled up to a bit mostly false.

“China” is not “demanding” 70+% of ticket sales. At least not neccisarily that way. As much as that % may be going to Chinese distributors and theaters as their share of the release. Release in China requires going through Chinese owned distributors. So that is as much…

Actually it does.

European retailers barring Monkfish in general, over sustainability concerns with European catches. And the global god damn pandemic.

Both of which have negatively impacted exports on shit like monkfish. 

Less often than you think. A huge amount of the US catch is exported, Japan is one of the main buyers.

isn’t overfished nearly as badly

just one of those silly cooking factoids that gets repeated like never wash mushrooms.

Mostly for export. It’s an off season alternative/bycatch for lobstermen primarily. Used to be caught just for bait.

I’ve eaten a lot of monkfish. And no way no how is it “texturally more like a crustacean”. That’s a marketing claim based on the supposed use of “poor man’s lobster” to refer to monkfish in New England.

It’s something I never heard until efforts to market it began in the 90's.

It’s firmer yes. But the segmented,…

Here’s the thing.

We have a pizza oven, a Roccbox, where the firebox operates on the same principal. Generally they’re both derived from rocket stoves.

The Shang-Chi bit is telling. That *had* to be done as the original Ten-Rings and Mandarin stuff is pure Yellow Peril.

Yeah. I’m drawing a blank on other places it’s turned up. Pretty sure he’s at least wearing it in other appearances, and wasn’t it a thing in What If...?

Spring Street has seen its share of shit in the MCU

You could actually make a pretty compelling statement about School Shootings, draw some attention to the way they’ve just become background noise, highlight the tragedy.

That’s right. Been bit since I watched it. IIRC it has an inscription from Christine.

Pertinent bit, it’s the only fancy thing he keeps. And it’s been a runner with the character since first flick. 

What I’m saying is they did a damn good job establishing that he’s almost certainly alive. We watched him get shot in the heart like 5 minutes earlier.

Clea Strange is typically dressed in purple, though often enough magenta. And a couple of the costumes she’s worn over the years are of the jump suit variety.

But the outfit in the screen shot is far too blue, and it doesn’t resemble any of Clea’s outfits specifically. Or even the typical MCU super suit at all.

If you remember in the first film, Strange has a large watch collection so we’re guessing this is not only one of his watches, but something that was broken in some kind of battle.

We watched the guy shrug off an arrow to the heart, and barely blink after getting tossed by a speeding car.

I don’t think he’s meant to be that Wilson Fisk though, not the one from the Netflix show.

He rips the door off a car. Throws people around like rag dolls. Shakes off an arrow to the heart and being blasted through a window by a fucking car.

That’s not the down to earth, emotionally torn up, rage monster from the…
