Even easier - have Luis hotwire the van after a few years of trying.

If you add to that the weird unintentional subtext that she had to sacrifice herself because she had no family unlike the men in the team, it just... sucked, as an ending for the original female Avenger.

In my most uncharitable moments, I think a lot of people don’t particularly remember Endgame. Even this article seems to forget Tony was not the only Avenger that sacrificed himself and that the final set piece does not have all the OG Avengers in it.

I’m an... Endgame agnostic (okay no, I’m gonna be honest and admit I hated the movie) after several years of being a huge MCU fan. The movie pushed the theme park thing to such limits that it basically broke the entire MCU for me. It’s never happened to me before, to do a 180º turn on a franchise or series like that.…

Personally, the rat alone I could have handled, but the plot itself runs on contrivances and I didn’t feel emotionally affected by the movie, so instead of a sidenote, the rat became a symbol of why Endgame didn’t work for me (with the caveat that of course it worked for a lot of people!). I suspect it’s the same for…

It’s been three months and I haven’t bought any new games! Which is, well, great!

I think I ended the game without really having learnt how to deal with telepaths (besides ‘I’ll stay out of range’).

It was! But just.

Still work there, actually! And he’s still my grandboss.

Agreed and sorry about the cheating asshole. Cheating can be incredibly destructive, even to people outside the relationship

It’s a more... subtle form of propaganda. It’s really difficult to explain to Americans, but I’ll try (and I say this as somebody who really likes the character, btw!).

Leaving aside that Chibnall wrote it, ‘oh, brilliant’ does establish some things about 13, anyway.

there are almost 4 more years of that war and most of those men are still going to die

She does remember that. She tries to explain to the Doctor that’s what happened to her.

In my 2017 Pile of Shame I have Nier: Automata, FFXII and Night in the Woods. Let’s not look at the pre-2017 Pile of Shame for it is a mountain.

I really love Vella lots.

By now, I’m dreading we won’t get another Arkane game in this style, tbh. (So please buy Prey so I can keep playing games like it.)

And now it’s a terrible show that’s still better than her novels!

Yeah, i generally liked the whole sequence but I think it should’ve been tighter - no Maz, no other Master Codebreaker...

And it did affect the main plot - it’s why the Resistance is almost wiped out.
