I was TOTALLY thinking "Is this the island from Lost???"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The explanation of the Void doesn't line up with what we're seeing—it's clearly just the variant people/items that are pruned that are ending up there to be disintegrated by the smoke monster, not the entire divergent universes. Maybe once the reset charges eliminate those, the timelines just sort of merge back into the Sacred Timeline?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hahahaha I have so effectively erased Lost from my memory that my instinctual reference for the smoke monster was the evil cloud from the 1980s Care Bears movie and/or Ferngully.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I enjoyed Black Widow.

Florence Pugh was a delight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So next to me in the theater were two guys, one of whom apparently has had no exposure to the MCU at all. Why he came to see this is a mystery. But he was VERY CONFUSED by the beginning of the movie, and then when there was a line about "Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov are on the run" he asked, "Is Steve Rogers the father????" Oh buddy. He was also VERY LOUD and occasionally his friend would lean over to whisper things to him, but I'm guessing that was their last superhero movie together.
I definitely enjoyed the movie, although I wish it had had a different kind of ending. Like, this story did not need that massive final battle.

I liked that they crammed so much into the penultimate episode of Loki. Sometimes finales are super crowded and the end feels like running into a closed door, emotionally.
I also enjoyed Black Widow. I’d have enjoyed it more after Civil War, but what can you do?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just saw Classic Loki described as Old Man Yells at Cloud and I’m ded

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.
While the Easter Eggs we got were cool I would have loved to see something like a Sentinel head or the Fantasticar in The Void.
