No, they never do.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
On one hand, a single black father who chooses his child over himself. On the other hand, do you really want that shot of three black people being left behind in the Nazi-run dystopia?
Right? And like I said, Mac might still make it back. Someone's going in after Fitz, after all.
Somehow I don't think the writers got together and said "Hey, let's kill all the black folks!"
Strawman.
They also didn't get together and say "Hey guys, we just killed all the black folks - maybe we should rethink this."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm pretty confident that Mac will make it back.
In other news, this is not a good look for the Inhumans.
The showrunner for Inhumans is the same guy who made Iron Fist, which should tell you all you need to know.

I'm sure you know best.

I'm pretty sure I've seen better Medusas at comic book conventions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which makes it all the more shitty that we've apparently lost both Tripp AND Mac to the Framework - we've brought in every real-world social justice movement except Black Lives Matter? Fuck. That.
Right.

GotG2: Not quite as good as the first, but only by a small degree. There's not a whole lot wrong with this to complain about.
Will probably see it again in the theatre, just to take in the visuals and look for easter eggs.

Also: the best performance in the film was Karen Gillan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
She acted Emma Watson off the screen in "The Circle."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
She acted Emma Watson off the screen in "The Circle."
... which wouldn't have been that hard. *rimshot* I mean, I love Watson as Hermione to bits, but her post HP movie roles have not been impressive for her range. But now that the new B&B remake has made gazillion dollars, she'll likely be in everything. Ah well.
As for Gillan, Insert here yet another wail about how much I liked Selfie and sadface at its premature cancellation
