  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    I didn't intend on watching Peacemaker, but I needed a distraction and watched the first episode and wound up liking it a lot. I was pleasantly surprised.

    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.

  4. 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.

    I hate musicals so the post credits scene was torture?

    I kept hoping there’d be a fun payoff, like they’d cut to the audience and we’d get Old Couple Steve and Peggy with disgusted looks on their faces.

    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.

    So that's just it - if he's just a nobody to even those who knew him best, what about them having this stranger on their social media friend list? Or, as I put earlier, a bunch of pictures hanging out with this nobody? It would have to go beyond simply wiping people's memories to actually work. So yeah, that one had me confused on the drive home, and I suppose they can get there completely ignore it or pull it out sometime in the future if they want to have somebody "remember" him. 

    I did notice that GED book which was a little indicator, I suppose. So maybe Strange could enact a spell to be nuanced enough that it would at least leave Peter with a social security number and some other basic documents, otherwise he'd be kind of fucked.

    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.

  7. 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.

    I’m wondering if the ending of this was a way to sort of “separate” Spiderman from the MCU? I don’t mean that he totally exists in a different universe now, but like the Avengers won’t come calling if they need help anymore. 

    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.

    How much were they trolling the fans, when Elektro was getting upset about Garfield-Parker being a white guy, and how there wasn't a black Spider-Man anywhere to be seen? Like, they know we all love Miles, and they put that in there?

    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.
