I thought the most recent episode was fairly interesting, although someone online pointed out that Killmonger was too young to have been where he was in Iron Man; he would have been only 18 or 19.
So they're playing games with the timeline as well as the multiverse.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just came back from Shang-chi and had a pretty good time! I wanted to wait for a few weeks so that I could go to a showing with limited number of people (with a mask on, of course), which was a good call. The action set pieces are quite good, and Simu Liu and Awkwafina have excellent friendship chemistry. It has a few surprisingly decent wuxia-type action scenes, including a super sexy fight-dance scene at the beginning, but that's what you get when you put Tony Leung in a martial arts scene, yo.
I liked Simu Liu but honestly, I spent most of the movie being punched in the face by Tony Leung's hotness. Didn't help that he spends half of his screen time making his patented Tragic Faces of Romantic Agony. Poor Liu didn't fare too well when he was facing off him, 'cause why would you look at anyone else when there is Tony fucking Leung on your screen.
I stayed for the mid-credit stinger, which was fun. Not sure if there was more than one.

Loki may have become too popular - I saw someone had posted on the internet (lost the link) a photo of their pet bunny cosplaying Loki.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Vonnie, I read this and thought of you.

Thanks! That was a fun and informative read. That bus fight scene in particular was gorgeously choreographed -- smart of the director to bring in stunt and fight coordinators who were well versed in Hong Kong action movie scene.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I spent most of the movie being punched in the face by Tony Leung's hotness.
I mean, that's kind of a default state for me when he's on-screen.
