It’s another case where there’s no joke to get except “recognize this pop culture reference???!?”

I think Jackman Wolverine is a very strong casting choice as evidenced by his success.
But I think Simmons as J. Jonah is one in a lifetime, peak casting.
Other people could play a comparably great Wolverine; I don’t think anyone is ever gonna top Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson

Your cat has shit particles in its fur and no layer of clothing separating its ass from the seat.
Unironically a great album.
The first of the Holland Spider-Man films, Homecoming, is excellent. The only reason I didn’t recommend the Spider-Man series to you is because I think the second and third entries are a little shakier, and as a comics fan a bit “more Holland than Peter” to me, but this most recent fourth entry in the series is just as excellent as the first. So if you like the character already, check 'em out.
I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t work for Marvel Studios marketing department so I don’t really feel much incentive to sell you. I got no vested interest here, I just thought it was odd that the dude could acknowledge THING could and has been great in the past but while thinking THING couldn’t be great again despite the prior acknowledgement. That’s all.
That said, I am a comic book diehard and I am also still very onboard with the MCU. I’d say the new Spider-Man is one of my favorite films in the greater universe… but it’s also absolutely not a film you should go into blind. It requires at least having seen the previous Tom Holland Spider-Man films, bare minimum.
But if you’re at all interested in the MCU and haven’t dipped your toe in yet, my recommendation is simple: Watch Guardians of the Galaxy vol.1-3. These are, imo, the peak of the MCU (GOTG vol.2 is one of my favorite movies of all-time, in fact) and they’re also in some ways the most self-contained, so they don’t rely on a lot of connective tissue for their impact.
Yes, because the entire category is a myth
I know this is a meme, but for the record math is one of the things LLMs are famously worst at
Comics have always waxed and waned. Some of the great storylines in comics happen between some of the worst. Imo it makes sense that the films following this model could do the same, and writing all of the off forever because you haven’t been 100% satisfied every time seems silly.
It’s okay to not like the MCU, and it’s okay to be done with it. But you seem to be suggesting that the MCU was once good in your eyes - why do you think that somebody that has been proven to you to be good once is not capable of being good again?
This. If you want to collect analytics for in house decision making, merchandising, whatever, I say go for. But as soon as you start selling that data or the conclusions thereof, it becomes a currency, and if I’m paying that currency you better not be asking me for another.
Google wants to get paid thrice for YouTube. That’s not okay.
I’ll consider allowing ads when they stop harvesting and selling data - until then, that data is my payment.
They don’t get to show ads, sell our data, and charge a subscription. I’m tired of paying twice for shit.
… Why are we making up scenarios to feel vindicated about literal fictions that we established in the first place?
Literally who is this for and in what way is this remotely memetic?
This just feels like the kind of cheap dunking on women shit you see all over reddit in the gross right winger cesspool subs.
Was Dexter’s Lab on the radio??
Am a millennial, don’t get joke 'cause too poor for cable.
Guess poor folks don’t count 🤷♂️
Let’s just be real, 90% of dog owners are awful. This is entirely par for the course.

1·3 months agoYeah let me be clear because that dude was wrong, I am not remotely offended by this dumb meme. I think it’s fucking lame and pointless, but that’s it. I’m calling people who upvote this shit idiotic sheep with awful taste, but I’m definitely not clutching any pearls.

4·3 months agoMan don’t even talk to me about the stupidity of the anti-ketchup cult, as if ketchup isn’t a brilliant condiment crafted through human iteration that literally traces over a thousand years to roots in ancient Roman garum and BCE Chinese fermented fish sauces! But yeah sure dude who has read 4 books in his life, tell me about how ketchup is “basic.”
Pop culture opinions are so fucking stupid.

I’m sure if we keep pretending to care about people putting pineapple on pizza just one more time it will finally be funny, right?
