    Lynn with the CG yesterday was nice to see. DeGrom nearly pulling it off today too. Shame the Mets went and LOST behind him though

    He's such a great actor. brb going to rewatch Rush for the 5000th time (I don't even like Formula 1).

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (Disney+ 2021)

    I mean, I agree with the sentiment but that's just plain untrue. Jack Gleeson never wanted to be a full-time actor and "quit" (I use that term loosely) before it became an all-consuming career. Had nothing whatsoever to do with fan reception, either negative or positive. Man I really enjoyed this episode. Still not digging the show as much as Wandavision, but at least they paid off spending so much time with Sarah and her fucking bills in episode 1. Every single character is morally grey. John Walker debating whether he should take the serum and the potentially bad things he got awarded for in Afghanistan, Zemo being fueled to rid the world of the serum for the damage it could cause (and the mentioning of his son's favourite candy), it was all just so good. My favourite minor detail was the throwaway joke of Zemo's villainous head tilt becoming a Chekov's gun when Walker did a villainous head tilt a few scenes later while stealing the serum. A+ writing and acting.

    I'd love Zemo to be an anti-hero type. Don't agree that it's a straightforward show. Feels like it's spinning a LOT of plates right now. Although having longer episodes definitely helps.

    I can't believe they let Cody Rhode's tattooist design the new IWGP belt

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (Disney+ 2021)

    Well, yes and no. I think it's worth discussing the quality or lack thereof of the show.

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (Disney+ 2021)

    Nah there's definitely something missing. But episode 2 was like, roughly, 5000x better than episode 1 so it has won a bit of good faith with me. It's still strange how the same conversation can be really strong and really weak at the same time. ie "Have you ever jumped on a grenade?" "Yes, in fact four times, I do this cool trick with my helmet...." was amazing. Strong writing. Great "show, don't tell" character building. Excellent acting etc. "You leapt from a helicopter, I'm gonna need more to go on than that" "Uh... Battlestar" "Stop the car" "Ok bye" weak sauce. Hated it. Felt like a first draft of the dialogue.

    Imagine the twist when it turns out Falcon and WS are the bad guys with their lack of guidelines, free agent bullshit.

    Lets go Mets! Pretty ironic that a lot of players seem to be getting season-ending injuries already, while Noah Syndeegard seems to be good to go... yet I missed him on my fantasy draft due to his "IL" status

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (Disney+ 2021)

    Almost stopped halfway through that episode. I expected to be underwhelmed but I do NOT give a shit about Sam's sister (?) having to get a loan, or Bucky going on dates. DGAF. But then little world-building things like the banker asking if the Avengers get a wage, and the weird terrorists with the masks, was enough for me to relatively enjoy it. I dunno, guess we'll see. I was never expecting much from a show starring two characters I don't really care about, I just hope it doesn't deliver less than that

    Hello :^)

    Heyo, tell us a bit about yourself. What do you like? Yeah it's rare we get new members but we've been around for a while so you're very welcome to hang out

    WandaVision (Disney+ 2021) [SPOILERS]

    I think it was just poor writing tbh. I noticed it a few weeks back, but intentionally ignored/forgave it. It's quite hard "setting the scene" for something like this and you usually find there are plotholes and inconsistencies. See also: Literally any time travel movie. Yes, even Looper.

    I kinda wish this came before Wandavision as I am going to be so underwhelmed I did manage to binge Runaways too so I'll be even more underwhelmed, but heyo - more Marvel, lets go!

    WandaVision (Disney+ 2021) [SPOILERS]

    I'm a huge fan of the Runaways comic. I'm a huge fan of James Marsters. Yet hearing it might, slightly, somewhat, perhaps, kinda tie-in with Wandavision is what is finally going to make me watch the show

    Oh that's good. I like that! Only one problem:

    It is an awful, awful, awful idea. I've not read a single person who thinks it is a good idea and you know how divisive the IWC is. Every take has opposing sides. This is unanimous. The press conference video has like a 1:100 upvote/downvote ratio it is ridiculous.

    Yeah that tunnel joke was good.

    WandaVision (Disney+ 2021) [SPOILERS]

    Throwing my hat into the "they will merge" ring. Disappointed at Fake-Pietro being fake but whatever. Was a fun pop. I don't think Mephisto has anything to do with this. Maybe a post-credits scene. But there is ONE episode left. It is all going to revolve around Vision having to save his children imo.

    Honestly, what a disaster. I am devastated for Hiromu.

    WandaVision (Disney+ 2021) [SPOILERS]

    Agnes.... Agness.... Agathaness.... AgathaHarkness Goddamnit, it was right in front of our very eyes this entire time!! Agatha still opens the doors for many of our theories - Fantastic Four, Mephisto, etc - but I'll be severely disappointed if this turns out to have nothing to do with Mutants it was a fun pop for the audience I guess, but damn I'll be supersad if that's all it was.

    Just a small thing, but I love how last week it was clear Darcy was saying "oh fuck" but it cut off, but this week the subtitles claimed "oh fudge"

    Yeah I feel that. I have sought out some matches on the strength of this book, although weirdly it has been most Murrican wrestlers ie Sting v Muto, the Steiners, etc.
