    Bow has seen how Dre acted with Junior over the years over them not being alike. You would think Bow wouldn't be the same in wanting him to follow her career.

    Except that's EXACTLY how Rainbow has acted with Andre's favorite, Zoey; so her behavior, with her own self professed favorite, should come as no surprise.

    The only mention of Pepper in AoU is when Maria (Hill) asks Tony and Thor how come Pepper and Jane aren't also attending the party.

    Tony gives an ambiguous response about Pepper 'having a company to run,'

    So, with Pepper's absence, Tony's low-key response to Maria's question and AoU, narratively, being sandwiched between IM3 and Civil War, it's not a stretch to read Tony & Pepper as being broken up IMO.

    So I must be the only one who really enjoyed the back half of this season.  I hadn't watched any of the last 10 episodes and then I binged them all over 2 nights.  Even I was surprised at how good it was and how drawn in I was.

    I haven't kept up with the news at all about this show so I really thought that Andre was a goner.  I really thought he'd be killed off.

    I figured out in the finale that Kingsley would end up in the casket and his heart going to Andre.  I found his story very compelling and wish they could have found a way to keep him on the show - having him bond with Andre and Keem and then Jamal coming back to feeling displaced wouldv'e been great.

    The actors on this show truly, truly brought it - I was in a shambles for the last 3 episodes - crying constantly, etc..

    I think when you don't dissect this show to death and just watch it in a fast binge like I did, it hangs together very well... The last 4 episodes for me were amazing - and the twists did not go how I was thinking they'd go at all.

    I hope the show doesn't get canceled.  After the whole jussie thing, I couldn't bring myself to watch and boy do I feel stupid now - because that was some damn good television.

    It was definitely heavy on the dramatic side and less of a guilty pleasure - but that didn't make it any less good.

    My only sadness is that Kingsley is gone.  I liked him and wanted to see a redemption arc.

    I thought Cookie/Lucious was AMAZING and Andre/Terri and that whole cancer/heart storyline ripped my heart out.

    I'm still in a shambles with my heart in my throat.

    So - sorry to all the folks who are over Empire - but I'm still with it.  LOVE it and the show has gotten SO much better than season one with it's burn through plots and paper thin characterizations (apart from the main Lyons).

    I don't know if the writers changed, but that's made this show better imo.  All of the "Tyler Perry-esque" plotlines?  Gone.  Now we have nuance where there was once dramatics and plot drivenness.  Again - my ONLY beef is with Kingsley being gone.

    Pretty much!

    George R.R. Martin Reviews ‘Avengers: Endgame’: It’s Not Just ‘A Big Dumb Action Movie’

    Quote

    “‘Endgame’ is amazing,” Martin wrote. “Kudos to the writers and director. I cannot believe they got all those characters into one film and still managed to do them all justice. The final battle was epic, exciting, thrilling, full of twists and turns and strangely beautiful. But the character scenes earlier in the film really made it for me. The opening with Hawkeye, the Ant-Man scenes, Tony Stark’s moments communing with his helm…so many more.”

    Martin continued, “There’s plenty of action here, but this is not just A Big Dumb Action movie, of which there are far too many these days. Stan Lee would have been proud. Could he ever have dreamed that all those characters he and Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko and the rest of the Marvel team created in the early 60s would one day come to dominate global culture? There’s an amazing story for you.”

    The Directors of Avengers: Endgame on Its Biggest Twists

    Quote

    I did a segment on The Gist that was a fake newscast that occurred three days after the events of this movie. And so some of the things that happened are: The housing glut went to a huge housing shortage. The air level in India for the first time in five years went to a dangerous level. I started thinking about airplanes—a quarter of all planes were probably falling out of the sky, if both captains died. But then half the people on the planes would come back, and half who didn’t get dustified, would be dead now. Anyway, there were a lot of considerations. I’ll ask you a few questions.

    Anthony Russo: We love that, by the way. Yeah, we spent time thinking about those things.

    The one that I saw you definitely address in the movie, because you had to, and it was an interesting way to go, is the environmental aspect. So whales, just looking at bees and insects … and that was also something Thanos explicitly cited: saving humanity by killing half of all life. But were there any other aspects you wanted to take a crack at? About what would really happen if we undid this whole thing after five years?

    Anthony Russo: One thing that we talked about a lot—and I thought was really profound, but it was almost too large of an idea for us to wrangle, but we did try for a while—is just the idea that one-quarter of all children have no parents. Assuming you started with two parents. So that’s a lot of global orphans. Just the staggering number of that. I believe at one point really early in development, Black Widow was actually leading the organization in D.C. that was in charge of orphans, basically. That was what she was heading up five years later. But yes, it’s fascinating when you start running it down.
