I am going to try to be grateful for what a precious, unlikely gift seven seasons of this show was rather than dwelling on how unjust its cancellation without even an announced final season was.

Love the acknowledgement that we’ve already seen an afterlife or two in the MCU, with Tawaret referencing the Ancestral Plane as a lovely place to see.

Grammar Nazis. Why’d it have to be Grammar Nazis?

“It’s not every day when an MCU show goes out of its way to recreate arguably what’s one of the most fascinating episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, I’m talking about season six’s “Normal Again,” the premise of which found the titular slayer confronting a reality where all the misadventures she’d been having…

And Red Dwarf did it before Star Trek (“Back to Reality”, 1992, one of the most acclaimed episodes).

I’ll do you one better… why is Marc Spector?

I found the shots when Marc is leaving the museum on the CCTV, and looking at the camera, with Steven looking back - shot-to-shot-to-shot-to-shot of the same actor staring at us, a masterclass... the hair is the same, the clothes are the same, but Oscar Isaac exuded such different energies as each character that it…

Oh goody, the miserable fuck is here to miserably fuck the comment section.

Who could forget Moon Knight’s famous catchphrase:

What the Marc personality says was something along the lines of, “I can save us, but I need you to stop fighting me.” Meaning he could have taken over by force, as had happened earlier, but that Steven’s resistance it takes effort to stay in control of the body. He could take out the cult goons like that, but he was…

What, you not Bri’ish?

This commenting structure is so dated and is such bullshit. “You have to be agreed with and followed or your comment isn’t relevant.” I’ll continue to comment in the gray’s, but kinja commenting is completely fucked.

Your solutions seem to more or less boil down to “people who find the current state of the franchise more objectionable than I do shouldn’t be reviewing it,” which does nobody any favors.

You’re taking my response to Fiona out of context. Her issue was the cinematic universe aspects of these movies, and while I don’t think that Marvel films are their own genre, studios trying to craft cinematic universes is a widespread enough phenomenon with sufficiently established conventions that it should probably…

Yeah, but if what you just wrote was the review of a movie, would you think it’s a good review? That’d be like a review of West Side Story being “It sucks, it’s a musical.” Some folks don’t like musicals, and find it an annoying and repetitive genre, but even if you’re one of those people, that isn’t a good review.

If your theory were correct, you’d think that the most prominent of the “strings” in this movie—Dr. Strange—would merit more than two cursory mentions in the review. I honestly don’t think the reason that the recent reviews read as if the movie being reviewed was incidental is because of concerns about the…

Well, this review would be a lot cooler if at the end there was a stinger where Ignatiy showed up to talk to Dowd about the Inventory Initiative...

Exactly this, nicely delivered in a proper parenthetical.

Think of how much closer fascism got in the time it took you to comment. Maybe fascism is your fault.

This is, again, just a new variation on the Marvel business model of extended universing.
