Excellent!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I think it's inevitable that I'm going to get spoiled for Dr. Strange (not here, because we are Officially The Best, but elseweb), because I have no idea when we can see it. We may go see it while we're on vacation, or we might wait until we're back.

Moon Knight: I was impressed that what seemed like a really complex story with a lot of moving parts was able to be wrapped up in one episode. I fucking LOVE Layla as Tawaret's avatar (as well as Steven gleefully yelling "HIPPOOOOOO!!!" ).

FYI: there *is* a post-credits scene in this episode.

Matilda is going with a pack of her school friends after school tonight.

Layla and Tawaret both totally won me over

I don't know if I've seen "elseweb" before but I love it!

I'd like to see Dr. Strange, but to officially go out in public, with people? Not sure.

That is how I ended up not seeing Spiderman yet. Although I could stream it now, so I don't really have an excuse anymore except my fundamental ineptitude.

My favorite thing about Taweret is her little hippo ear wiggles, because they are SPOT ON and cute as hell. My next favorite thing about Taweret is basically everything else about her.

There is a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene in Dr. Strange. If you are having bladder issues or something, the second post-credits scene at the very end is skippable.

Moon Knight

Well, that was a confusing mess. Some pretty bits, but overall -- meh.

I was impressed by the acting of Oscar Isaac. He made it easy to see and hear when he switched characters.

I was impressed by the acting of Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy. They delivered some very silly lines with sincerity.

Doctor Strange was entertaining, though Cumbermuffin continues to be miscast. Elizabeth Olsen, on the other hand, is a fucking powerhouse. Also, there was a ton of stuff I wasn't spoiled for, so go me.
