I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

  • There are a lot of image/gif(?) posts that I haven’t been able to view either on the Memmy (Apple) app or in-browser with either Safari (Apple) or Google Chrome. I imagine it comes down to the file types as well as the lack of native hosting to standardize posts of different media types, but I’m not the techiest person to consult on that. One downside of the fediverse is the lack of standards for file hosting/conversion/displaying to ensure that all media can be accessed regardless of the browser/app (or, alternatively, the lack of an all-encompassing app for all devices [Jerboa sounds like the closest to this to me but it is not available for iOS yet]), as well as the self-funded nature of the instances commonly not having the budget to natively host multimedia content such as videos.





  • The titles on these past two episodes have been a bit misleading. Kahhori didn’t really reshape the world per se within the episode; she only prevented the New World from being conquered and only got as far as entering Spain before the episode ended. And this episode’s title suggests that Hela discovers the Ten Rings before Wenwu would, rather than simply encountering them early on in his possession.

    Hela & Wenwu vs. Odin was among the best fight scenes in the MCU as a whole imo.

    I wonder if Strange Supreme will recruit Hela the White like he did with Kahhori in search of mega-enhanced “light side” characters to defeat the Scarlet Witch seen at the end of the Captain Carter episode; I’d guess Celestial Star-Lord would fit that category too, and then maybe Nova Nebula and Hulk Hogan for support.


  • This might be a coincidence, but Kamala’s fantasy at the start of the movie and the music video for Beastie Boys’ “Intergalactic” are both about defending a city from a giant robot.

    Anybody else feel like there were a few scenes which had too much information removed due to hasty editing? Mainly how quickly Carol flies to the Kree spaceship when the characters first start switching, and later when the movie skips over how Carol’s spaceship docked with the struggling SABER space station.

    Aladna reminded me of Pabu from The Bad Batch: each is an ocean planet with a single island society holding a utopian close community.

    The make-up department must be getting a break since it seems like the Kree are getting decreasingly blue and Fury’s space crew is getting decreasingly alien-looking (Skrull or otherwise).

    I think there is a canonicity error in the flashback with Maria and Carol talking; Monica is said to have been “blipped”, but the term wouldn’t make sense in the usage until after Thanos’ snap was reversed. The term “dusted” would make more sense for the setting.

    The mid-credits scene could potentially be in the same X-Men universe as in Multiverse of Madness, even though Maria and Prof. X are both alive in this movie’s alt universe. Since the bangles interact with time as well (as seen in the Ms. Marvel series), they could have sent Monica to an earlier point in that universe.

    I feel bad for Aamir having to go almost the entire movie (a couple of days?) without his glasses. Couldn’t SABER have made him some?




  • The Dox in box scene is probably the most gruesome moment in the main MCU (i. e. excepting the Netflix shows).

    Seeing Timely get spaghettified was great and a good use of a Chekhov’s gun. I appreciate seeing story arcs that build up to the heroes succeeding but despite their best efforts they still lose — very evocative of Infinity War or Empire Strikes Back. Anything is on the table now, and I hope the following episodes will lean into connecting with the storylines of other recent projects.

    Since Loki and Sylvie have telekinesis (and magic was unblocked in the TVA at the time), couldn’t they have just used magic to lift the device across the bridge and into the machine and activate it without anyone being exposed to the time radiation decay?
