Next episode is the final episode?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

I am probably the only person in the world seeing Fat Man Used Cars as a reference to Andre Braugher in Men of a Certain Age. But I have to acknowledge it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hawkeye: I was assuming that Kazi actually killed Maya's father on Kingpin's order, and Hawkeye knew about it (but why would he know about it? I haven't figured that out yet).
SPIDER-MAN: Obviously, so SO worth being unspoiled for.
I cried so many times, for so many reasons. (It amused me to get the reminder that all 3 Spider-Men tear up/cry at the drop of a hat.) I'm really angry about Aunt May, like, to the point that I almost yelled WHAT THE FUCK in the theater when she died. Marvel has GOT to stop killing women. Although that made me stop and think: in the Tom Holland timeline, was it ever explicitly stated that there ever even was an Uncle Ben? Because now I'm thinking there never was, especially since they gave the "great power...great responsibility" line to May. (Which I thought worked really well.)
Question on the Dr. Strange end of things, because I don't remember enough about the Dr. Strange movie: do the sling rings only work for someone who has magical power? In other words, did we get Ned Leeds, motherfucking magician???? And then have that taken away??? Or do the sling rings work for anyone?
Another question: did all y'all's audiences applaud when Andrew Garfield Spidey and Tobey Maguire Spidey showed up? Mine went went fucking NUTS when that happened. Oh, and a pretty good portion of the audience clapped for Matt Murdock.
One of my crypoints was Andrew Garfield Spidey catching MJ. That was awesome. I loved Andrew Garfield's Spidey movies, although I know I'm in the minority on that one.
I laughed my ass off at the organic webshooter conversation.
Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, and Jamie Foxx were having entirely too much fun with their roles. That was awesome.
And then the mid-credits scene, I can't believe I'm going to make a Ted Lasso reference, but I did almost yell "Football is LIFE!!!"

Man, I had to go back and edit that post a few times for spoiler font mishaps. Yeesh.
In conclusion: Spider-Man good.

Question on the Dr. Strange end of things, because I don't remember enough about the Dr. Strange movie:
In Dr. Strange, Stephen had a much harder time learning to make portals than Ned did, so yes, Ned’s probably got magical ability.
Another question:
In my screening, the audience cheered at all the same moments.

Nice. That made my nerd heart so happy.

Completely unrelated: I’ve been looking at press junkets for Far From Home, and now I can’t stop thinking that the design of Liv Octavius in Spider-Verse was based on Amy Pascal.

I am stoically not highlighting y'all's whitefont while I try to decide when I can get to a theater...

Liv Octavius
No shade to Alfred Molina, but she was the best Doc Ock.
