She may not have the build that makes you think of She-Hulk, but I trust that Maslany can convince you of anything. She's astonishingly good.

Yeah, I don't know what they're going to do, and I don't care in the slightest.

She works more than fine as Jennifer Walters, and we've advanced special effects just a bit since they had to cast Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in a shared role.

Also, maybe we could get the Daredevil cast back? I seem to recall that Netflix's claim on them expires this October, or something like that.

Apparently, the casting call for the role called for a "Alison Brie type".

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.
Based on the casting I'm assuming they're going to do the Jennifer Walters changes into She-Hulk and back storylines rather than the she's stuck permanently hulked out storylines. (You'd probably cast a much taller/buffer actress if you were planning on the latter so you could use makeup and practical effects most of the time.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw ... somewhere ... a brief clip of a young woman news reporter who said she was in an area known for its horses, so she decided to go on site to see a "horse stud". You can see some horses a distance off and - it being Australia - Chris Hemsworth wanders by, says hello and points out the horses, and then delivers the weather report for her.

Well, that's on-brand at least.

aha! Here's a clip of it. Imagine ... you're out, looking for a horse stud, and Chris Hemsworth wanders by.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
You know what? Endgame is horribly horribly depressing. It's narratively satisfying (EXCEPT FOR NAT), and I love Fat Hero Thor, and I love Steve wielding Mjolnir, but the movie is so fucking depressing.
(I had to check the internet connection on the Roku and then I clicked on Disney Plus, and here we are.) (I shoulda watched Hamilton instead.)
t edit Okay, I'm watching to the end, and when T'Challa walked out of the portal, I started crying. Fuck cancer, man.
