“BW and SC were both pretty much in the can when everything shut down”

Black Widow, sure, but Shang-Chi had only gotten started in February 2020, so it wasn’t remotely in the can when things shut down.  They had to complete the filming August through October.

What, and I find it almost impossible to stress this hard enough, the FUCK is wrong with people?  Especially gamers.

Like how if you have a sitcom where one character is silent throughout multiple appearances for whatever reason, you can be absolutely guaranteed that character will suddenly speak at a big moment when nothing else would have made a difference.  Probably in the season finale.

Yeah, this article headline was a bit bullshit, although I guess now that I’ve watched the episode it didn’t hurt my viewing.  Still, come on.  Especially hilarious, after that, to have SPOILER WARNING after two paragraphs.

I think that was also just a story element used as a great way to demonstrate just how fucking powerful Bad Strange had become.  And it worked.

No, agreed - it’s his real name/title but to anyone normal it would absolutely sound like a made-up superhero name.

I also think it’s a thing where once not-Kang (he wasn’t Kang, per se) was killed and the multiverse regrew, in those universes they were always there, if that makes sense.  

You asked about other meta-cameos, and I thought immediately that the dragon Bad Strange ate that looked exactly like a certain other role he’d voiced had to have been one.

Same here, although the rest of my family thinks I’m gross for liking them.  They’re amazing.  Definitely the one snack I get from time to time that I don’t have to worry about the wife or kids stealing.

Shrimp crackers/chips are awesome, although I suppose that depends on whether one likes shrimp.

Yeah, I remember on the day of having to turn off the TV for a moment when they started showing a clip of someone jumping.  That was a bridge too far for me.  I think I’m interested in this documentary, but I don’t know.

Executives who hear “public domain”.

Probably because it’s the one that swiftly followed the outing of his secret identity in the comics, just as it is here in the movies.

Yes, one might think that the movie may involve Stark resources getting Peter the hotshottiest blind lawyer in town.

Easy enough to say “whoops, that was wrong” or “one came back somehow”, etc.

Good for Larry David.  May it ever be thus to all Trump enablers.

Technically he has no “friends.”

Definitely, and that was one of the things that annoyed me most.  (I only watched 1 and 2, and checked out after that.)  It went from being a musical, where the songs are presented within the plot for reasons that make sense, to a neverending stream of “here’s the song I prepared for our rehearsal today.”

Yeah, I agree - I really loved the first season, and then it just dropped immediately off a cliff.  

Glad you asked about Glee, because I do strongly remember that moment where Chris Colfer’s character (name escapes me at the moment) comes out to his dad as being incredibly moving, and wonderful to see the dad’s 100% loving and supportive reaction.  That show did have some great moments.
