I did not see that coming.
Neither did we! Which, I gotta say, was almost as surprising as the actual thing. There was much appreciative gasping.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Question from an almost-six-year-old: We've seen the bit in the Spiderman trailer where Peter sneaks back into his room and his buddy drops the Lego Death Star. Are there other scenes with the Lego Death Star?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yes, we see briefly that the Death Star does in fact get rebuilt.

Milana Vayntrub, from the AT&T commercials, has been cast as Squirrel Girl: [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I wouldn't have thought of her as Squirrel Girl, but she is cute and clever, so it could work.

She's got a Squirrel Girl vibe here: [link]

Just got back from Spider-Man: Homecoming, and while I liked it overall I wasn't blown away. The writing for almost everything on the part of the villains struck me as poorly thought-out or contrived (no knock on Michael Keaton's acting, though, he did the best he could with what they gave him), and I did not appreciate the script making Happy a careless, duty-shirking incompetent or Pepper someone who would approve of Tony putting a 15-year-old on a superhero team that's had a crippling injury and a death in its previous outings... or who would blindly assume that Tony would actually bother to consult the legal guardian of said child .
Tom Holland was everything I'd hoped for though—far and away the best version of Spider-Man himself I've seen on screen.
