So here’s something kinda funny: I managed to talk my wife into seeing AM&TW by assuring her that it was much more light-hearted than A:IW. She enjoyed the movie thoroughly.

As a Mustang owner, I’m blaming Stuxnet.

Holy shit, someone call Owen Wilson.

Thanks for this!

... I mean, she was kind of a villain. She was fully prepared to murder Van Dyne and whomever else.

I mean, not trying to make the argument that Ghost was in the right on this one, but I don’t know how anyone expected her to believe that that was really possible. At that point, she’d already been told that she had maybe a couple of weeks to live, and she’s supposed to risk her one chance on the possibility that the…

Good catch! Yeah, I was under the impression that Juliet’s suicide had happened a few years ago - far enough along that Ed Harris would be playing William, but a good while before the events of season 1.

The money and suppression thing, mostly. The podcast itself is really interesting (I’m most of the way through episode 4), but she’s basically a spiritual guru who is fond of telling people not to bother with suicide hotlines, and that sometimes it just makes more sense for people to kill themselves.

Okay, here’s a story. Maaaaany years ago, before we had the sudden glut of vampire movies and books in the 90s, I became friends with a guy who ran a Cyberpunk campaign. For giggles, he created an NPC who was, literally, a vampire, and made him the group’s employer (or something).
