  • Is the majority enthusiastic to vote for him? His own campaigning rallies were a snorefest, as far as we saw.

    For me the main “a-ha” here is that so many people apparently still believe his stupid story that he is a guy who makes deals to fix the economy. Instead of a con-man. I have no idea why democrats were not able to destroy this “economic leader” image that he has built. Or why Harris and Walz did not focus on the issue every poll in the last month did say was the most important one: the economic situation.




  • It is only natural:

    a project that fans have asked for for years doesn’t have a single creative direction, but already planted ideas in so many different heads of fans. Expectations are various, everyone wants to see his/her version realized, while the studio struggles to understand what those versions are.

    A project no one has asked for does not have any expectations yet. It has a single creative vision by the creator and can’t really disappoint.








  • Rio literally tore through a setpiece to get off the road

    “Your last name is a vegetable” is a top-tier Agatha line

    A bit of cheap writing to suddenly go “Agatha was the one who bound Jenny Kale”, I didn’t like that.

    Agatha’s death scene was visually very beautiful - and also, still a better death scene than Voldemort’s (I’m still salty about that over ten years later).

    The big cgi fight was way better embedded into the story and spirit of the show this time. Also was nice to see the Westview residents again.



  • So… at the start of this episode I was like “oh god, please don’t make this a flashback episode”. And then the flashbacks kept going for over 20 minutes. Once again the Marvel writers wrote themselves into a corner by deciding “we need to show this, but it doesn’t fit anywhere so we’ll cram it into the last episode”. Works better than in other shows but still not ideal. The whole episode basically feels like a tag to the finale that was episode 8.




  • Looks like Kingpin is physically smaller in Daredevil than he was in Hawkeye & Echo. Interesting.

    The Ironheart and Wonderman scenes are not showing much, but Trever Slattory being back is always nice. Getting back into the movie industry after what he did in Iron-Man 3 and his experience in Shang-Shi must be though lol

    There was talk about Ralph Boner showing up in Wonderman as well, does anyone know whether this is confirmed?
