That's not a terrible idea.

I'm genuinely torn between my hatred of gate-keeping, and the prevalence of fan service and franchise overdoses at the expense of creativity and good storytelling.

I don't mind a movie being 2.5 hours long, if they're entertaining me the whole time and telling a coherent story. With that film in particular, I'm still stunned at how well the Russos managed to balance so. Many. Characters.

You could entirely remove Spider-Man, if you wanted - introducing him took some time, and didn't add all that much. You could probably drop Ant-Man too. But then you'd be removing one of the most popular characters and sequences from the movie, and lots of the laughs in the middle there.

I think a lot of those dudes in that room are actually from the Vale. But I'll grant it's all very vague.

Mild-mannered Sansa Stark was just another everyday teenage daughter of a great house … until one fateful day, when she was bitten by a radioactive Cersei!

Most of those guys got killed fighting on Ramsay's side. The ones that are still around to serve Jon are the ones who fought with him in the Battle of the Bastards.

I think Whippy was the one with the spear … right?

I dunno, the lords of the North that are still around pride themselves on loyalty to the Starks. I don't think a revolt is coming. I think Littlefinger will try to perv his way into control, and it is my fervent hope that Sansa not only beats him, but OUTSMARTS him, in a way that makes her whole painful journey…

Looks like they're learning hard into Chris Hemsworth's slightly-smug-but-genial-jock humor, which he's really rather good at. I approve.

DC: "I don't get it! Batman and Superman fight, and people hate it. Thor and Hulk fight, and everyone loves it! Their moms don't even have the same name!"

I was kinda holding out hope for Catharine Zeta-Jones, but this is rad too.

I get that Michelle Pfeiffer is huge news, but how are ya gonna bury Lawrence Fishburbe like that?

“I think that there were parts of it that were funny,” Spicer told Hannity, “But there’s a lot of it that was over the line. It wasn’t funny. It was stupid, or silly, or malicious.”

"Fuckabees!"

Well if she's wearing Kuribo's Shoe, then she's hardly nude. That thing goes the whole way up to the chin.

True, though I guess I thought of them only in regard to the presentation of the player select thing - at any rate, SMB3 made the whole thing way more elaborate and overt. I like when it pops up again, like the set and audience in Paper Mario's fights, or in New Super Mario Bros. when the unseen audience claps at…

The original Super Mario Brothers isn't really all that surreal. A plumber goes into a pipe and ends up in a Mushroom Kingdom. Pipes = sewers = fungus, seems legit so far. He fights turtle monsters called Koopas (a play on the Japanese "kappa" spirits). Mushrooms make him grow a la "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."…

I love that SMB3 introduced the recurring concept that the whole world is really just some kind of weird stage performance, with the platforms being obvious pieces of the set and each level ending when you make it offstage to the wings.

Do you think this means someone could convince him to get into the ring with a professional boxer? He could probably be convinced, if they told him it was just like his time on WWF.
