I'm looking forward to watching Tom Holland's Peter Parker grow up.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Rewatching the FFH trailer Nick's starting to look a little soft around the middle. Or maybe it's just a bad angle (she added quickly, because there are eyes and ears everywhere)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

As far as Spidey I think Mysterio is full of shit. He's a villain who uses illusion, deception is his nature.

I didn't notice Howard the Duck, either. But now that I know where to look, I'll keep an eye out the next time I see Endgame.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
So, you guys. I have a really weird angle coming to discuss this movie. Really weird one.
In case you missed this: I work in the National Library's archives department. about ~30% of my time in the past 6 months was dedicated to process and catalog archives of intellectual historians of the Holocaust, some are/were survivors. So my mind really goes to the "something terrible happened to mankind. How do we process this? Is/was this inevitable? What does it say about humanity? On individuals? On randomness, grief and loss? What happens to the society in the aftermath?". I know six different ways of answering these question, and I kept thinking how what I know about dealing intellectually and historically with a catastrophe aligns with this movie (spoiler alert: it doesn't, but I've only watched this once and was unprepared to the places my mind took me, so maybe it's more nuanced than that and I just couldn't process all of it.) I keep coming back to the question of what can go wrong when trying to fight a fate, especially with time travel, moreso with a less than a careful use in that tool.
I think I need to watch it again.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Shir, I love your angle, and while I wish there had been more of that, I also recognize that it probably wouldn't work in a superhero movie. Fingers crossed for some excellent fanfic addressing it!! Because fanfic can TOO be scholarly, so there.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Apparently the people involved with Far From Home have been saying that that movie will deal with some of the fallout from Endgame, including the "snapped back 5 years later" thing.

Well, Laura Harrier, who played Liz in Spider-Man: Homecoming, was 26 when she made that movie, and now is 29. I wonder if she'll make a (brief) appearance in Far From Home.

I have a partially serious theory that the only reason Endgame jumped forward 5 years was to get Scott's daughter Cassie old enough (or close) to join the entirely hypothetical (I don't remember reading any spoilers about this) Young Avengers.

Tom, according to this article (putting behind white font for spoilers) https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2019/05/michael-keaton-laura-harrier-arent-in-spider-man-far-from-home-after-all/ she's not in Far From Home
