Just marvelously stupid

Getting to the point where I’d almost be embarrassed for the joke to be recognized. Like, I’ve wasted how much of my life on this site?
Anyway, there aren’t even notifications on stars anymore, so I guess these “oh how the mighty have fallen” posts are the last currency of the old guard. Cheers.

I took it as, “I didn’t really think about the fact that She-Hulk is your alter-ego and not the other way around,” I’ve only thought about what I want. Like, academically, he knows of course there’s a person form there, but hasn’t really thought it through. This is Karl in Love, Actually, or this random putz from As…

Plot-twist: it was Titiana’s wedding. Kamar-Taj has totally tapped into influencer-FOMO like nowhere else possibly could. After Stark’s money ran out, this is totally bankrolling all of whatever the post-Avengers do-gooders alliance is.

I got a Community nofitication for th—- Wait, shit, I messed that up, again from the top?

I was waiting for the backfire to Wong’s demand of ‘no unlicensed uses of the Mystic Arts’ when it’s pretty certain he isn’t strictly licensed by any kind of licensing board either.

It’s definitely improved from the trailer at least. The pilot was still a little ragged, I admit, but that ‘fries, to go’ line had zero facial movement beside the minimum needed to make her lips speak in the trailer and it had distinct eyebrow flicks and eye shaping this time around, enough to sell that there was a…

She’s gotta be strong, and she’s gotta be fast
And she’s gotta be fresh from the fight

It seems unlikely, but a) I kinda like that the guy the trailers made look like dream-guy-who-just-wants-to-be-carried-to-bed isn’t The One, like this is season 1, let’s not act like everything is locked down, and b) the depressing reality of making a She-Hulk dating profile is that you’re gonna get a heavy dose of peo…

I can see it. You know Shang-Chi is just always there on mic 2 thanklessly hitting backup vocals and harmonies for everyone.

Yep. The pilot was hamstrung by forcing the origin story, but the subsequent two had more of a “see, we’re breezy, we’re funny, breaking the 4th wall—meta—am I right??” vibe than actually embodying it. This one finally felt those things.
Not that it was grim, just a little try-hard.

Madisynn is easy mid-30s. The author is right in saying she’s very Millenial and not just “young people, they’re all Millenials right??”, but, like, had-a-crush-on-Johnny-Rzeznik millenial,  (also, props to the show for getting that right and not making her a TikToking GenZ, whatever hybrid, this is a woman old enough…

When you someone ‘Eat It.’

Also, um:

Truss is going to absolutely (continue to) fuck up Brexit for NI, though right? And I reckon she’s not going to grant Sturgeon a referendum, which, while not the answer SNP want, might be strategically their best outcome.
And Plaid Cymru is basically where SNP was about 20 years ago. The difference between the Covid…

Strange women lying across the pond is no basis for a system of government. True legislative legitimacy derives from a mandate from the masses not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

The repeater isn’t in control of the time travel, but they definitely move experience time in a nonlinear way. I guess you could argue that their physical presence doesn’t (or you’d have the past-duplicate running around) but their conscious mind does.

Except Donnie Darko, which can fuck right off.

Mike Schur credits MNIE for keeping The Office on the air early on because it was doing way bigger numbers and they were scheduled immediately after.
