Yeah. Even if we don't get the Avengers in this show, we are at least entitled to an explanation of why Skrulls are persona non grata other than that they tend to be a cancer to any other inhabitants of any planet they may want.
I feel the fact that they can shapeshift and read memories to impersonate anyone is more then enough of a reason. yeah, shapeshifters exist, but random aliens ending up here who can shapeshift is much different then a whole civilization of them. Look at what Gravik and his followers are doing, taking the forms of world leaders and doing false flag operations to provoke nuclear war. Even if not all Skrulls are bad, it's justified people would be uncomfortable allowing millions of shapeshifters to live amongst us, simply hoping none do anything nefarious.

Why do authors do this? It never changes any minds, and just bursts their image. Also; the fact that she keeps mentioning being a comedian gives me “it was just a joke, gosh! Can’t you take a joke?” vibes.

Just got back.
Best movie I’ve seen this year. Amazing animation, great and moving story. A true love-letter to the character. Definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies.

I'm really excited for this! It looks like they are paying a lot of homage to the ride. I also wonder if that scene with what looks like an ocean or sea coming through the door is a shout out to the ride's orignial storyline where the house was owned by an old sea captian who had secretly been a pirate.

Gamorra was defined by Peter and reduced into a metaphor for his issues
I didn't see it as that. I kinda see it as part of the whole team's storyline in the film and where they eventually end the movie; the movie is about the team coming to a crossroads and everyone finding their way forward to the next act in their lives. Dealing with their past and deciding how to move forward.

Tully was a way better friend to Kate then Kate was to Tully.
Can I ask you why you think that? I'm just curious since, to me, Tully seemed to dominate the relationship between her and Kate and I see Kate as the better friend. I also can't forgive her for putting Marah in danger with the crash, since, even though she deflected blame from herself saying she wasn't found at fault, it was her fault Marah was at the party and needed to get out of the situation. If she had listened to Kate, Marah wouldn't have been in that car accident.
Isn't it interesting how people can watch the same show but come away with different takes?

Which of course is basically the same reaction he had when he found out that Ego killed his mother. So regardless of it being good or bad, it is entirely in character for the Star Lord that Gunn created.
Yep. Even if they hadn't shown that reaction from Peter before, I never understood the hate for that moment. It is totally relatable that someone would snap and act on instinct in that moment. I suspect the fact that Chris Pratt has fallen out of favor with a lot of people has to do with the reaction. I see a lot more iffy decisions made by MCU heroes that deserve more backlash then this that don't get mentioned as much as Quill punching Thanos. Tony deciding to build another AI bot after Ultron went full murder-bot will never not be frustrating for me to watch.

Thinking on it, and did anyone else find themselves annoyed that Tully noped out of the funeral. I mean, I get that grief affects people in different ways, but I felt like it was making it a bit about her and focusing on her grief? My mother died of breast cancer herself, and I would have given serious side-eye to any friend of hers that would have done that at her funeral. Grief is hard and messy, but it seems wrong to tell someone's grieving husband YOU are so affected by the death you can't go into the funeral.

The last five minutes were spent on pandemic TV in the US, which is a different decade than what this miniseries is supposed to be covering. That bothered me.
I can't believe they made the same mistake in this episode that they made in the TV episode of the 2000s mini-series. I was hoping they could use this as a bit of a second chance, but nope. They covered the critics' darlings and what generated buzz on the internet, but they barely mentioned the shows people were actually watching. For most of the decade, the top rated comedy was The Bang Theory and the top rated drama was NCIS and those weren't even mentioned. There's a massive split between what people were actually watching in large numbers and what the critics' darlings/what generated buzz on the internet. This is an important story/part of TV in the decade they were covering, and they just completely missed it.
I wondered why they were covering the pandemic as well. During the opening credits, they show a graphic that looks like a red wave sweeping part of the globe and then a covid virus(like this but red 🦠). I was thinking why would they be talking about the pandemic? Could it be something else? But nope, I guess this is going to be the 2010’s and early 2020’s…
And yeah, they definitely had a chance to address the discrepancy between ratings and what creates buzz. I also thought they could have gone into some of the negatives of the current streaming environment, such as how shows don’t get a chance to start slow and grow. Shows are canceled much more quicker now, and are not given to grow their audiences or be found in the glut of options out there. Also; doing one season all at once prevents changes to storylines that aren’t resonating with audiences, giving writers a chance to pivot midseason if need be.

I understand but they should have done the right thing and cut all ties with him. Of course, I was born in an earlier age, when crime and immorality had consequences. But saying that today sounds naive, like something you'd read in a comic book.

Yeah, in an ideal world people would be held accountable for actions, but let's not pretend that bad behavior being glossed over isn't a constant of Hollywood history, not to mention people being fired for things they shouldn't have been, such as being queer or refusing sexual advances from higher ups.

I can't stand the Rock. He's so popular and I just don't understand it... I was not surprised at the behind the scenes drama with him and DC over Black Adam and Shazam. He seems like somebody too in love with himself.

This is what I have wanted for years! I enjoy the movies, but in such limited time things get missed. My favorite book of the series is book 6, Half-Blood Prince because of the backstory you get on Voldemort and his family and seeing scenes of how life at Hogwarts has been affected by the war (kids being pulled taken out of school by their parents, you hear of two sisters whose little brother was killed in a werewolf attack after a parent refused to cooperate with death eaters) and those things were cut/winnowed down for time. A TV series would be able to go more in-depth into the world. Also; the last film came out 2011, so effects have gotten much better, so it would be nice to see what they could do with the stories today.

Two different things have made me think of Friends moments recently…
The first is I was watching a horror movie where, of course, a dog dies. I will never not see a movie with a dog being killed and not think of Phoebe’s reaction to Old Yeller; “What kind of sick doggie snuff film is this?!”
And second, when Angela Basset is being called out for not applauding and looking mad when she didn’t win an Oscar last night, it made me think of Joey and Rachel going over the reactions when losing before the soap opera awards.

Google-fu at work! The woman in the puffy white veil dress thing was Tems, one of Rihanna’s writing partners on “Lift Me Up”.
This article (and accompanying photo and Twitter quotes) is hilarious:

She deserves the call out. It’s live performance 101 to not wear something that obstructs the view of people behind you. A performer should know that better then most.

Ha! I was just thinking “Now he has no chance of an Oscar for his Elvis performance, how fast will it take for the accent to disappear.”

I am sad for Halle Bailey. She seems like a perfectly fine singer/actress, but the live action remakes are not good and when this one is no different, she's going to get the blame...

Right. So why would the coffee shop owner think he's Spiderman if NO ONE knows who exactly Spiderman is?
Ah, I see. Yeah that is kinda curious.

My thoughts.
The coffee shop owner getting Scott mixed up with Spiderman. If Doctor Strange's spell worked and no one remembers Peter Parker as Spiderman, why would the old man say to Scott that his money isn't good here and say he's spiderman. Scott clearly tells everyone he's Antman. Why would the old man think he's Spidy when no one knows Spidy's identity?
I thought that spell meant that people just didn’t know Peter was Spider-man, not that they forgot the existence of Spider-man altogether?

Seeing Michael Keaton saying "I'm Batman" after all these years was amazing.
Seeing Ezra Miller all over this thing was not amazing. I'll never forget WB acting like nothing happened. I'll see this when it hits streaming but because of Ezra I can't help this movie Box Office wise.
You could just do what I’m doing and decide to mentally earmark your box-office dollars as going to Keaton or one of the others in the cast or crew, instead of Miller.
Seriously though, I am excited to see Keaton back as Batman and am intrigued to see where DC goes from here.

No amount of preparation would have been (or should have been) sufficient for the disparity in treatment from the media.
That’s true, but better preparation would have helped make the process less of a culture shock and easier on Meghan. I think the racist treatment was only part of the problem here. Even without racism, it was always going to be a challenge for an American woman to come to a new country and be a working royal. That’s the part Harry could and should have helped her with.

despite the fact that he did nearly nothing to educate his fiancée about what being part of the RF would entail so she could make her own decision about whether to move forward or not.
This was one of my main takeaways. He did Meghan no favors there. Granted, sexism always means women entering the RF are going to face different challenges then the royal men face, but he had a front seat to Kate and her entry into the family, and by all accounts was close with her. He should have had enough of an idea from that to know or at least anticipate what Meghan would need to know about royal life. He might not have been able to foresee all challenges, but he had enough of a foundation to have a baseline idea.

Party of One: Unpopular TV Opinions
in Everything Else TV
Here’s an unpopular opinion I have; I don’t like the Rock. I don’t get his appeal, and don’t think he is a very good actor. IMO him getting his start in professional wrestling shows. His persona as a gentle tough guy also comes across to me as try-hard. He strikes me as very egocentric and concerned about his image. Often I can see why something that I don’t like appeals to people, but with him, I just don’t understand why he’s popular.
