This is that first entry if anyone is curious:

If I bring my car to my mechanic to get my brakes fixed and then I immediately run someone over because my brakes decidedly don’t work when I’m pulling out of the lot, am I supposed to stand trial for not checking over the work of the person I paid because they had the experience and qualifications for that thing?

Does their Totally Expanded Universe include Totally Spies?

No one wants to be to far away when another Kendrick track drops

The girls are killed earlier in the film, that's why they are angels.

You didn't have a named posse that routinely did things with another person and not consider them part of the group? Was it just me and my friends that were the assholes?

Kate’s got some sort of voodoo doll that sends all her laughs to Amy Vorphal.

I’ve suspected for a while that since the real marketable comic book IPs have been claimed and have sort of run their course, every other studio is trying to get in on the ground floor with the next big thing, i.e., something else that was popular at Comic Con.  We were bound to get a few successful ones just because…

That’s my suspicion as well.  With the noticeable parts of dialogue dubbed over and no explanation as to where his one lackey came from and why she continued to work for him, something must have been taken from him.

The movie must have had a decent about cut out and they never bothered to replace that chunk with anything.  That’s the only thing that makes sense.

Now, here me out

Nepo Truce

What a strange title to bring back. Not to spoil, but I had pegged the “twist” within the first couple scenes of the movie, but because none of the characters addressed what I had assumed was the case, I figured I was mistaken until it came back around at the end.

Given the way The Marvels ended, I can only assume Skaar will show up later, no retcon needed.

Recasting and keeping the plot elements works for the characters.  Of the named Avengers, only the Ant-Family and Loki have interacted with a version of Kang, and Loki himself is no longer a moving piece on the board. Everyone else can be told that it is “Kang” and wouldn’t have any frame of reference.  Now, the…

Eh, someone let me know if Mulaney didn’t really play “What’s New Pussycat” 7 times at a diner, then we can have a discussion about whether its good to embellish a story for standup.

Really, Lotto’s freestyle was better than B-Rabbit and he should have won.

At the end of the day, I think people want something out of Marvel shows that can’t be done, or alternatively people think they want that something and when they get it, they don’t care. These shows have all been connected, but it largely always feels like a one way street and the shows are always subservient to the…

Yo ho ho, he took a bite of Gum-Gum

I recently got through those books in the last few months and yes, the battle had ultimately swung in a way where it looked like he might have lost that battle despite being prepared for the Republic’s attempted misdirected attack. Ruhk kills him before anything decisive happens though.  Which is one thing I didn’t…
