Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I told them Friday. I'm waiting until AFTER I see Spider-Man on Thursday.

I respect those priorities. Although, having had a cracked tooth myself, those jerks can really hurt.

Also, I did get a ticket for the 3 pm Thursday showing.

Thrive to spite them

Steph as you should. I would like to see it but not with this post concussion stuff. I am eagerly awaiting Buffista reactions to this.

Here's a thing about today’s Hawkeye: Echo should not be able to lip-read when Clint talks, because the man barely moves his lips. Like, zero emphasis or enunciation. He's like a ventriloquist.

And also, I love Yelena so much and, oh, hey Kingpin.

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.

Okay, that final Hawkeye title card was brilliant.

Though I was shocked we still haven't gotten anything after the credits yet.

It’s Spider-Man day!!! So of course the weather change is trying to give me a migraine. Not today, Satan (or Mephisto).

Also, I’ve seen more than one superhero movie with a migraine, so it’s not like it’s going to stop me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had missed it.

I totally missed that, too! Very clever.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I loved Yelena and the mac-n-cheese. That was brilliant. Florence Pugh is so charismatic and entertaining!

I had hoped that Clint didn't kill Maya's father, but it looks like he did? Possibly on a tip from Kazi?

And in light of that, Yelena's not entirely wrong about his culpability, but then neither is Kate on his intention to do better. I liked that Laura gave Clint free reign to protect the family, and he's still trying not to kill Maya -- although he seems to have no such qualms about the tracksuit bros.

I didn't read that scene as Clint killing the Tracksuits, just knocking them out Batman-style. I think his message to Maya to be better would have been undermined by him murdering her men.

I think the only time we've potentially seen Clint or Kate kill anyone in this series was during the car chase, and that's comic book logic debatable. Everything else has been trick arrows or shoulder/arm/leg shots.

Clint's sword was clean when he fought Maya.
