  1. Randall Park is adorable.

    Aladdin (2019)

    Carpet building sandcastles in the desert cracked me up.
  4. I loathed that scene (and the scene with Tony ranting in Avengers HQ after returning from space) because Tony Stark is the very last person in the world who should be self righteous about anything.
  5. Box Office: 'Avengers: Endgame' Faces Uphill Battle to Catch All-Time 'Avatar' Record

    She actually was the only one of the Johnson kids who exhibited any affinity for medicine, after watching Rainbow at work.

    Right. But the gig that Junior was offered does not require those qualifications so he doesn't have to cross that bridge until he comes to it.

    Everyone doesn't need college and/or a degree to become a success. And it's not as if Junior can't attend college in the future, if he changes his mind.
  9. Terrence wasn't asking for more money, just the money he was contractually owed, provided the original film became a hit.

    Aladdin (2019)

    So, it's pretty good. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, or surpass the animated film, but it's an enjoyable experience on its own.

    And yet, when Zoey suggested those very options for herself, Rainbow treated her like dirt.

    That was what he was told. Andre & Rainbow hated his decision to leave HU, but they gave him the space to figure things out on his own. When it was clear he still had no plan, his parents made him get serious about his life.
  13. This season's theme seems to be Gang Up On Nova. Again. Gross.

    That is the story the writers told over the course of the season. Junior got scared at college because he felt he was seriously unprepared, he immediately returned home, proceeded to hang out aimlessly while trying new things until it was made abundantly clear by his parents and his significant other that he needed to make concrete decisions, leading him to intern at Stevens & Lido where he eventually began being mentored by his father until he lucked into a great gig that allows him the freedom to pursue his newfound passion. .....So yeah, that's a pretty solid character arc.

    Except that's not true. Zoey was a great student in high school, except when the show wanted to shove Rainbow into scenes with her, then the writing became really inconsistent. And the fashion industry, especially on a macro level, is not some shallow pursuit. It involves a complex knowledge of history, trends, cultural traditions, commerce, business management, etc. become a major success. Look no further than fashion superstars like Andre Leon Talley, Diana Vreeland, Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Jason Wu, Donna Karan, Christian Louboutin, Vera Wang, Gianni Versace, Willi Smith, etc. Not really. Junior, like Zoey has been portrayed as a good student in high school, but is regularly clueless when it comes to interacting with most of his peers socially. If a good student like Zoey turned into a party animal, unintentionally, during her first year of college, then unfailingly naive Junior wouldn't stand a chance IMO.

    Or they wrote him as deciding college is not for him and realizing over the course of his gap year where his genuine passion really lies and deciding to take the steps to pursue it. Which ran counter to those who continue to pigeonhole Junior (and by extension Marcus) as the usual two-dimensional Black Male Nerd stereotype.
