Bwahaha, Quantum Sephora is perfect.
I really liked AM&W even if the comic-book science makes my head hurt. The humor and pacing and overall breeziness of the Ant-Manverse agrees with me.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I loved AM&W! Such a fun romp, and we laughed out loud on multiple occasions.

I saw it with my Mom Sunday afternoon, and she was wondering why I burst into laughter as soon as the interrogator busted out the truth serum to get info out of Luis!

OK, have finally finished JJ2. Oh my poor girl. I would like season 3 to be all puppies and rainbows, please. That's likely, right?
Don't give a duck about Trish right now. I could eventually, but right now I don't. Really like the blazer she was wearing in her last scene, though.
Malcolm and Oscar had best not disappoint. I'm heavily invested in the both of them being decent humans.
On to Luke Cage. And Antman & Wasp. And AoS. I think that's all I'm behind? MCU is hard to keep up with.

Right, Cloak & Dagger. And Runaways? Damn, so much.
This is why I don't read comics, it's too overwhelming.

Damn, Luke Cage season 2 was really good but that last episode was super unsettling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Disney has fired James Gunn from GoTG 3 because a right-wing blogger, the Pizzagate guy, dug up a bunch of old offensive tweets from Gunn and accused him of being a pedophile.
I know that sounds like a game of MadLibs, but it's not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've just been over on Twitter trying to sort it all out after I saw his name trending; the tweets are an utter garbage fire of grossness, and he epically deserves the firing, but ugh it feels not good to see all the sourcing for everything leading back to Breitbart and Cernovich.
HELL. The GOTG movies were hands down my favorites, and the weirdness and kindness and emotional generosity of them is what gets me with every rewatch. I can't square that with those fucking disgusting tweets (which he's admitted were all real and all his and half-assedly apologized for). I feel like an idiot for having difficulty grasping that 9-year-old Peter keening to the sky, the luminous "We are Groot" and Gamora and Nebula's tentative, fractured reconciliation all came from the same place as those... things.

Yeah, the TV critic I follow who was talking about it on Twitter said, like they didn't find these tweets when they hired him? Like it's any different than Rosanne having horrific shit in her Twitter feed, until she did something while employed by them that they couldn't ignore?

A comic artist I follow just said that, in fact, when Gunn was first hired by Disney he recalls some of his progressive peers saying, "Uh, no, he's said some fairly horrible stuff and you need to look a lot more closely before you sign him on," but they were ignored. And now it's all being framed as leftist pedophile-enabling hypocrisy, when it was lefties who raised the alarm years back.
I never had any idea of any of this; I had no idea on earth who he was before the first GOTG.
