"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Steph, I had the same reaction as to you to what happened to Aunt May.

HOWEVER, given that Uncle Ben has never been mentioned once, and considering some things MCU Peter says earlier, I think it's safe to say this was supposed to be the MCU equivalent of the burglar incident.

Which means, interestingly, that the period from Civil War through Far From Home is the MCU equivalent of the period from his debut as a wrestler to the burglar incident, where he was briefly a celebrity.

Which kind of fits with his position as someone with Tony Stark as mentor and resource.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

On Hawkeye: I want Armand Jack to join the LARPers. I want it a lot.

Jacques! Or is it Jack? Anyway, he needs a leisure time activity.

Oh, shit, right. Will edit. But he DOES need a leisure time activity!

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

Perhaps Armand the youngster could join the LARPers too -- as a quintain.

I still say Armand IV is a clone. There has been no evidence of that whatsoever but I’m quite certain. Anyway, I would allow him to LARP as well.

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.

There's definitely something weird going on with that family, especially with Armand III not being sure how many there are.

Then again, apparently my company's head lawyer is the 6th of his name and his son is the 7th, so there are real families that still do that sort of thing.

One of my high school room-mates was a 13th in unbroken line. There was unspoken pressure on him to plan to get married and have at least one boy to continue the tradition, but he was pretty relaxed about it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would like someone to edit a supercut of the trick arrows from Hawkeye with their equivalent angry birds sound effects.

Thrive to spite them

I am behind on Marvel movies. I attempted to watch Black Widow and that is .. not good. So much quick cutting and flashing lights and while I think that style works for what was going on in the beginning it doesn't work with my post concussion stuff.
