Gonna add a third option to the pile - the voice of the Antichrist on American Dad.

Though I must admit, I am having a disturbingly easy time picturing his death being met with a “LATER WOOOOOORLD - SMELL MY ASS!”

Fair point. Even then, they could have found other reasons to get rid of him sooner, a la their decision to feed Thoros to an undead bear.

But for some reason, they still keep him around and let him do things, despite the fact that he takes the prize for ‘I’m Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today’

“You took everything from me!”
“I don’t even know who you are.”

If the movie just ended there with Wanda exploding him a la Tetsuo, I’d have still been completely fine with that outcome.

Okay, so I’m the first person to say it, but fuck it -
Beric Godsdamned Dondarrion.

Dude has outlasted his literary counterpart by several years now for seemingly no real explanation beyond the showrunners choosing to use him as an exposition express.

Give the Red God back his due and punch that fucking ticket already.

‘ Thirty episodes is not enough for a really good show’ — Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace would beg to differ.

And for an example from the Netflix stable, so would Devilman Crybaby.

‘Did it just start raining people everywhere?’

‘You can only hope they grow out of it some decade.’ — There still exist smartasses who insist you can kill a Green Lantern with a pencil and that they should have had eagles drop the ring into Mount Doom.

This shit never dies. 

“Welcome to Vormir, Steven, son of—”
[pause]
*both at once* “YOU AGAIN?!”

Gonna be honest - even knowing there were others after it, I’m taking his Into the Spider-Verse cameo as Stan’s curtain call.

It just feels like the perfect emotional note for him to go out on - sweet, sincere, and ever-so-slightly sarcastic.

Plus that end card dedication...Goddamn...

Which is part of why I didn’t get why suddenly NOW people were outraged that a three-hour blockbuster didn’t have an intermission.

You let Peter Jackson take you down that road seven Goddamn times over the past fifteen years. Suddenly NOW you can’t pace yourself?

Friday evening showing here.
The Wakandans got applause. Spider-Man got applause. There was a drop-off in said applause when the Guardians showed up (well a drop-off plus my girlfriend booing when Star Lord showed up.
Sidenote - all the dunking he got this movie made up for his beefing it last time.)

He could have turned those off, but he was sort of in globe-trotting Paul Kersey mode at that point, and hey - he needed the coverage for some of the places he was going all kill-crazy, so might as well leave it running, eh?

This has just surpassed the Tethers for me as my sure bet ‘I’ll be seeing this in October’ costume.

Still thinking we’ll see a fair amount of Tethers though.

“...this is why I’m hanging it up after this one.”

I dunno about good.
Enjoyable, yeah. But it’s also kind of a mess (in its defense, with a plot like this, it’d almost have to be, but the fact is...still a mess.)

Now I’m wondering about cases like people who were operating a vehicle that got dusted. They come back, find out it crashed and killed a whole lot of people who won’t be coming back now, and that’s gonna be a load on some consciences.

Fucking this.

For as much as it’s been portrayed as one-sided ‘Marvel trumps DC everytime’, I still remember the Marvel fans posting those memes of ‘DC won’t make a WW movie, while here’s Marvel making a movie with a talking raccoon and tree’

There’s things I like in both camps, but seriously, that was kind of a low key…

‘Make the film about what it means to be a hero’ — As interesting as that would be, I’m not sure it’s the kind of story Snyder could really do well. What he’s shown in movies and interviews suggests a sort of skepticism that heroes even exist a lot of the time (part of me also dings Goyer here, though I’d argue the…

All these years later and I still find the decision to ship those two odd.
The bulk of their prior screentime is varying degrees of Banner warning/threatening about what he’s capable of and then Hulking out and trying to kill her.
Now, this isn’t to say a bridge is burned on that alone, but to go right from that to…

The Devil’s Advocate comes to mind for me.

“LOSE? AH DON’T LOSE! AH WIN! I AM A LAWYER! THAT’S MAH JOB! THAT’S WHAT AH DO!”
