Terrafamilia

I guess is it was mandatory to gender-flip some characters in The Eternals, because, Title IX, or something (are we still supposed to believe Makkari was confused with the Greco-Roman Hermes/Mercury?) but what is the point of ethnic-flipping characters when those characters are already, or plausibly already, non-white? Kingo Sunen was a samurai and Japanese film star so why not go with a Japanese or east Asian actor? Gilgamesh could have been cast with an actor of middle eastern descent rather than one from Korea. But this is Hollywood so screw the source material. For the record, I was fine with the Ancient One in Doctor Strange because, hey, Tilda Swinton.

Inflation, people, inflation. Breaking the gross is inevitable as the years go by. If you are measuring popularity the number of tickets sold is a better metric.

Todoroki's past behavior comes back to bite him. It's also pretty clear someone completely flunked the rescue portion of the exam. The sound mixing on this ep was off, at least for me. The background music was so overpowering the dialog that I had to switch on the closed captioning.

The smokey tengu crossed with blue meanies time cats were definitely creeptastic. Much more effective than time wraiths (take that, Arrowverse). I don't think Syd was saying she was raped by her mom's boyfriend, more that she felt she was just used for his sexual pleasure when her teenage self was expecting something more (yeah, she was also using him for her emotional needs).

"I love Led Zeppelin" Peter, Peter,Peter. What do they teach you in that school of yours, anyway? I finally saw Spider-man's European Vacation and thought it was fine. Not great, but pretty okay/good. When Mysterio was giving his explanation about the Elementals I was going, Huh? why haven't Fury, et al subjected this to a serious interrogation? And the framing of Peter at the end should be able to be unraveled fairly quickly even without Space SHIELD's resources. And speaking of Space SHIELD, if the though of a high school kid having control of an advanced and weaponized AI/drone air force is disturbing how about the thought of Nick Fury being in charge of a completely off the books SHIELD with loads of e.t. tech and staffed by Skrulls?

I was assuming it was DSK. She must have been behind the warrant D'av was working on as well, all to get the gang to Arkyn given she was prepared to get Dutch's DNA.

While Administrator acts like the Black Knight (It's just a flesh wound) Kirito adopts his SAO outfit and dual blade fighting style. And Eugeo takes his own sweet time dying after being cut in two. Administrator has her remaining arm hacked off at the same time she takes one of Kirito's and gets fatally skewered with Kirito's other blade before she can try to wield a sword with her feet. It also turns out she had been working on some sort of Hail Mary exit strategy by possibly transferring her file out of the Underworld. Kirito manages to use her console to contact the real world only to find the fecal material had hit the atmospheric impeller back at the Ocean Turtle. Aaaannnndddd...cut till next season

After they told Smac to prepare for her solo they didn't come back to show what happened to her partner. I was trying to make him out in the crowd during the next round without any luck.

We have a short break in the License Exam to insert a previously unseen test which took place prior to the forest training camp. Is All Might a large ham or what? It also acts as a plug for the My Hero Academia: Two Heroes movie. This makes me wonder if Toonami will air the movie the way it has shown Bleach and Naruto movies in the past, though it has been quite some time since they've done that.

Am I to conclude that Orochimaru actually has something somewhat resembling a heart?

It's food porn and fanservice. I'm assuming they had some sort of culinary advisor on call for the manga to supply credible awesome dishes for the series.

Watch out, not!Xerx, Asta has started using his friendship magic on you! Better run away now before you start feeling inspired to better yourself.

Yes, that is Asuma and Kurenai's daughter, Mirai. She has her mother's eyes.

When Switch finally looses all her teeth will she still be able to use her power?

Food Wars looks like it's going to be wall to wall foodgasms interspersed with bites of disgusting food pairings. just for fun

Someone notices that Krillin doesn't have a nose! Vegeta tries his hand at autonomous ultra instinct by emptying his mind while being pummeled by some mook. After about 5 seconds he's all, "screw this." I suspect he came to the realization that Kakarot had an easier time because his mind was already pretty empty.

Administrator has been watching Yu-Gi-Oh! so she special summons Golden Snicker-Snak of the Gleaming Blades, or Sword Golem, or whatever (my name sounds better). To counter, Eugeo special summons Cardinal who delivers a curb-stomp. Unfortunately, Charlotte the spider had sacrificed herself to make the Cardinal's summoning possible (the spider's name was Charlotte, get it?). However, Administrator is clearly not finished.

Since cold affects the shrike I wonder if any of them will think of trying to scrounge up whatever might remain of Donnie Gill's old freezing tech.

Mac really doesn't know how to deal with terrorists, does he? Sarge and company are all going to be stuck on Earth when it gets destroyed so if they don't get a little more cooperative they'll die along with everyone else. As soon as Sarge started spouting his "answers" that don't really tell them anything Mac should have said "I'm done" and stuffed him in a tiny little cell and told him that unless he gets serious with the disclosures this'll turn out to be the last planet he'll ever visit.

Is the move where the dancer stands with feet apart and bends over back till their head almost touches the ground like they were auditioning for So You Think You Can Limbo this year's version of the HMV?

The most disturbing thing this episode was the giant sow from which some of the hippie-dippies were suckling.

Lord Sixth, Kakashi sensei, is hard-core and doesn't take any of Boruto's sass. I approve!

I haven't. My old movie viewing has been rather sporadic. My tastes run into science fiction and fantasy and some assorted mysteries, musicals and comedies.

I've been enjoying the Falcon series they've be showing the last several weeks on Saturday mornings. Re. Olivia de Havilland: I don't think I've seen her in anything other than GWTW and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. I loved her in the latter though I understand she didn't think much of it.

I didn't mind Luke's contemporary. The music selection gave the thing a modern dance feel, one dance style I don't think has ever been spotlighted on this show.
