Ah, the classic “something you did in a previous movie was incidentally bad for me, a formerly unknown person, so I have devoted my life to destroying you” villain that you use when you don’t have a good villain available.

This much preamble to understand a villain who is appearing for the first time in the series is an excellent example of why people are falling off the MCU.

Parent you children, lady!

It feels like they should have made a movie where we got to see, you know, all the cool shit that got Carol her reputation as The Annihilator. They skipped the best movie in the trilogy - like if Captain America went from period-piece origin story directly to Civil War without making Winter Soldier, but still had Cap…

They are fucked and this trailer shows it. Frontloading it with clips of other better movies to build hype by association. And it doesn’t even work at building any hype - that first chunk with the Avengers nostalgia gives way to a quick sketch of the threat, setting the stakes, the music gains intensity and builds to…

one idea that has been tossed around is to have some type of noise maker triggered as trains approach known ‘kill zones,’”

Jesus Buttfucking Christ, Marvel. It’s not that hard. Just recast Kang and explain it by calling the new one a “temporal aberration”.

They had recast Rhodey and even the Hulk without any in-universe explanation, so going full “Darren on Bewitched” with Kang isn’t going to require any extra steps.

Jonathan Majors must…

It’s weird that they built an entire show around how Loki variants DON’T ALL LOOK LIKE TOM, but all of the Kang variants need to look like Majors? This is the easiest out ever, they could have just had a couple look like him and introduce replacements during the build up... starting with Loki season 2.

I mean, convoluted is an understatement.

As if most corporations haven’t been doing this for many years now. Bizarre how little attention “reputation management” services get.

Because she’s an attentionwhore and we, as a species, shouldn’t just platform everybody. It draws out all the narcisists.

Does this even work? I googled “vaginal yeast as starter”, first result is a Jezebel article from 2012 about how it doesn’t work. The second result is from The Order of Yoni website about how it definitely does.
I don’t much care about the ick factor - you’re either into or not, don’t yuck anyone’s yum. I’m more bummed…

They were straight up making it up as they went along those first few movies.
“Killer is an old woman!”
“NO! It’s a guy with a sack on his head!”
“NO! It’s a guy with a hockey mask!”
“NO! It’s a different guy with a hockey mask!”
“NO! It’s the original guy with a hockey mask, but now he’s a zombie!” 

bruce willis was always the coolest movie star and this slow degradation is heartbreaking. i’m just gonna pretend he went out on top in 2011 with looper and moonrise kingdom and then retired.

Does he have a specific cutoff of how much money is too much to spend on a film or is it just however much he’s personally spending that’s the good amount? Like I’m sure we can find someone willing to argue that Borat also cost an obscene amount of money to make and they could have just given that money to more…

I think “Vince Gilligan attempts to find diplomatic ways of putting down stupid as fuck story pitches until eventually his sanity cracks” should be an ongoing series.

If she wanted to be paid on performance, she could have asked for royalties. As it turns out, she wanted guaranteed money. As such, how well the game did is of no concern to her. If you want to be rewarded when something does well, you need to be prepared to be punished when it fails.

If you think any form of unemployment is a stress-free, kick-back holiday, you have never been unemployed.

really depends on the files. 1 file containing everyone’s address/emails/CC numbers etc is all it takes to become a big deal. Not saying this is the case this time but it was in the last breach they had. The quantity of the files don’t matter so much as the data quality

By the standards of the modern AV Club, barely half a thesis is an abundance!
