Can we talk about how Luke just stuck Grogu in a X-Wing with R2 and hoped for the best? As much as I wanted an empty X-Wing to swoop in and blow up those droids, I did enjoy Mando having to escape on a hansom cab.

Finale was wild as hell, I loved it. Cad Bane has spent years being the luckiest villain in Star Wars, just being impossible to take out. So it made sense for Boba to be the one to finally get him. I'm assuming the mid credit scene is some type of Crimson Dawn reference? EDIT: Nevermind, I just read that it was Cobb Vanth in the tank.

WHEN I yelled out "THE BIG MAN IS BACK" at the Cad Bane appearance. Many don't know this, but Cad is up there with Ahsoka and Obi-Wan as my favorite Star Wars characters. Glad the original voice actor was brought in for him. Loved that scene.

One hell of a swerve on the villain from Superman & Lois. I'm here for it.

I was in the same boat. I really didn't think I was going to give this a look, until I saw the opening credits. The show has zero business being this good.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my boredom came from not really caring about any of the characters, and not really having a reason to. If I don't care about the characters, and I don't think the plot is engaging, then I will check out pretty quickly.

I got exactly halfway through this tonight on D+ before I tapped out due to boredom. I applaud Marvel for trying to do a more serious movie, but I wasn't invested in any of the characters, and I felt no sense of stakes. Forty minutes into the movie, I felt like it had been 90. By 90 minutes I had to give up.

Superman & Lois is still really good. Really surprised that they are already setting up Doomsday this soon.

If Karate's Bad Boy comes back in season 5, they need to bring back the lads too.

Hello I have been crying.

John Grease is the name of my all night diner.

I feel confident in saying that this was easily the best season of the show. Better focus on the kids. Some nice redemption stuff, with the "heels" not really being so bad in the end. The misunderstandings were kept at a minimum and felt way more natural. The scene with Robby and Johnny at the end was great too. Also the tournament fight choreography was excellent.

Something like that would have been great. I'd have even loved a gag with Matt Murdock being like "even I can tell this is bad" or something.

Oh yeah, Tony Dalton was so delightful, and I really hope he gets more burn in the future.

I feel like this will end up being the most poorly received post-credit scene ever. I can't be the only one that skipped to the end of it hoping for the "real" post credit moment(that never came).

I REALLY hope *that* Kingpin scene is just leading to a cliffhanger and isn't permanent. Otherwise I'll be pissed.

Right. That apartment he got wasn't the nicest thing ever, but it also wasn't the dump that Tobey Parker lived in, so I doubt he found someone operating under the table like that. He also has to pay for it somehow, and I'm not sure what kind of freelance work he'd be able to get. Maybe Tony left a trust fund for when he turned 18? I get the feeling that we aren't supposed to look this deep into it lol.

I just interpreted the spell as Peter Parker being a nobody, not being erased from existence. Like, he still has birth records and all that, but anyone who knew him before, doesn't. Like, I'm sure the Avengers(or what is left of them) still works with Spider-Man, but as was mentioned earlier, anyone who knew his identity is out of the equation. Brother still has to work and have a credit score.

May go see this flick again this week, because as much as I enjoyed all the pops in the theater, I want to take it in with a more subdued reaction. Keep thinking about the Tobey/Doc Ock interaction and how wholesome it was. "How are you Peter?" ".....just tryin' to do better." ?

Idk, I'd absolutely watch a Tobey "old man Spidey" flick.

I can see that honestly. Narratively, it finally allows them to move him away from Stark too. I think there will be some MCU connective tissue, like having him face Kingpin at some point. If the next couple of films don't start setting up Miles though, they are screwing up.

I looked at that as more of a tease that we'll get Miles soon. The endgame for Tom Holland's Spidey has to be a passing of the torch to Miles, tbh. Curious how people feel about it. Andrew Garfield got such a great reaction at my showing, but the Amazing Spider-Man films were that well received. I never paid much attention, but did people really like him as Spidey? It seems so. His role in this reminded me of Brandon Routh getting a second shot to play Superman to kinda redeem a film that wasn't received well.

Flash's little gold boots are so cute.

Something that I found surprising.

That ended up being one of the more fun theater experiences I've ever had. Every character reveal got a pop(some more than others). To be safe I'll spoiler tag some thoughts. Long story short, I thought this was in the upper tier of MCU flicks, even if I thought Sandman and Lizard really didn't need to be there. I understood WHY they were included, but they added nothing. Willem Defoe was the absolute superstar of this flick though. My favorite thing though, was the kid that was there with their grandma. The kid had the most pure, markout reactions to everything, and was so happy to nerd out for everything. Grandmas obviously has no idea what any of this is, but played along and asked questions, and generally just did the cool grandma thing and entertained their grandkid while they geeked out.
