BIG Fringe fan here and yes — I got massive Fringe vibes as soon as I saw the typewriter!

Yeah, all of this. (And I appreciate the Jumper shout-out! Love those books!) I think of it this way: Asgardians (and Asgard-raised Frost Giants trained in magic) have a certain amorphous amount of generic "power." For our viewing purposes, that power is distributed across various skills, effects, buffs. At the end of Loki, Loki basically channeled all of his power into "save the multiverse" mode. He can't do anything else. If he allows himself to be distracted or "shift" his power, everything falls apart. I don't think any other god could do this, actually. I think they're all rigidly locked into "my power does THIS" and "my power does THAT." But Loki, as a trickster god of chaos, can transcend the locked-in order of "super-powers" and turn his allotment of power into whatever he wants.

I suspect it's because it hasn't happened for Mobius yet. He'll end up 400 years in the past and meet OB briefly.

I'm assuming it was a side/after-effect of the drugs Moss had him on. The blood loss from his palm looked nasty, but not nearly enough to cause him to pass out.

This is EXACTLY what I thought was going to happen!

A “cutscene” in video game parlance is not a “scene that was cut,” but rather a scene that does not require player interaction. It’s an animated movie-like scripted scene that comes between the cut from one playable moment to another. So in this instance, the length of the accumulated scenes from the game is about two hours.

In the comics, he is licensed in California. It’s a long story.

I bet he has his aliases thought out one or two in advance and just bequeaths everything to himself.

I'm sorry, but I just don’t see this at all. Bruce Jen’s dad Mr. Holliway Pug Wong Even Emil Blonsky All are well-rounded and don’t suck in the least. The only men who suck are Jen’s ex-coworker from the DA’s office and the asshats she matched with on the app. Which…the idea of matching with asshats of whatever gender is by now a time-honored comedy trope that has nothing to do with anything except that it gives us a funny montage. Donny Blaze is just a dude trying to get by, with no evil to his character. He’s just trying to make it through and is a comedic element like Madisynn. I would argue that Dr. One-Nighter doesn’t suck, either. He hooked up with She-Hulk and woke up with Jen. That’s some serious cognitive dissonance there, and I don’t blame him for needing to take a breath. If we’re following rom-com rules, then I’m willing to bet he’ll be back in a future episode, apologize for bolting, and explain that he needed to process Jen’s (somewhat) unique circumstances.

I think it's a little more than that -- she is also repressing the GOOD that comes with those bad memories. We see her in her dad's hospital room and the voiceover leads us to believe that she doesn't remember what happened to him there. Then, later, we see her snuggle up to him in his hospital bad -- a sad memory, to be sure, but also touching and probably a comfort. She blocked out his death, yes, but also the comfort they gave to each other. She has to learn to confront her pain so that she can be complete and own her own life.

The police can force you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint or your face, but not with your passcode. This is why if you think you're going to be arrested or interrogated, you should shut down your phone or trigger the passcode requirement (with iPhones, hold down the power button and either volume button). The general rule is that they can compel you to use something you have (your face, your fingerprint), but not something you know (your passcode).

This is only the case when Apple provides the products in question (as I assume it would be for an AppleTV+ show). If a production acquires its own Apple gear, it can do whatever it chooses with it, as long as it's not defamatory.

Dear Zeus, please let this happen.

The "left" part, yeah. But the "I was but the learner" still seemed accurate. I suppose Ben could totally spank Vader at the end of this series and then we could have a moment of Vader reflecting how he still has much to learn. This would serve to bridge between the ultra-violent, brutal Vader of the series and the calmer Vader of the original movie. 🤷♂️ ETA: It occurs to me that Vader's line in ANH could also be referring to when he left Obi-Wan to cleave to Palpatine. So less of "The last time I saw you, I was the student (in a lava pit)" and more "When I decided to throw in with the bad guys, I still had a lot to learn, but now I'm going to kick your ass."
